Apple Releases tvOS 18.2 With Snoopy Screen Savers and Projector Support

Well obviously it's because:

• You can't play 4K content on Apple TV 4K gen 1
• You can't play 60 fps video on Apple TV 4K gen 1
• You can't play modern codecs on Apple TV 4K gen 1 (oh wait, you can prerender/transcode it in any that you need)
• You can't play HDR content on Apple TV 4K gen 1 (oh wait, again with the damn prerender/transcoding)

Need some help here Tim! I can't fanboy this hard on my own 😓

"You aren't entitled to new screensavers! It still does everything it did when you bought it! What are you whining about?!"

There we go. Someone seriously always turns up to say these things like it's some kind of excuse and this giant corporation needs defending for their blatantly insulting decisions.

oh... Tim... one more thing... I can easily be persuaded to buy the next gen AppleTV if you to release it this Christmas. M4 with 8K, raytracing and possibly AI?

Maybe hopeless, but some help needed with screensavers please. Running Apple TV HD (4th Gen/A1625). Before 18, was happily using Apple Pictures - Nature - set to floating. Since 18, that option for Apple pictures is gone, and now no change even with 18.2, which I was hoping might be the fix, the only usable option for me is Aerials, not memories, albums etc.

Have tried absolutely every possible variation, including restarting, but no matter how Aerials prefs is set, it completely disregards those prefs. At present, Underwater, Earth, CityScape all hidden, with only Landscape not hidden, and screensaver always defaults to Passing Downtown LA, which I can't stand.

And even if I try other options for hidden, all hidden or all unhidden, it always defaults to Passing Downtown LA. The only thing I haven't tried is setting Download Frequency, currently at Never, to Daily.

Would like to have a screensaver, right now set to never show. Is all this because my Apple TV model is out of date, or is there something I'm missing to get this working properly?

Thanks for any suggestions.
