Apple Seeds Eighth Beta of tvOS 18 to Developers [Update: Public Beta Available]

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the eighth beta of the upcoming tvOS 18 refresh to developers for testing purposes, with the beta coming a week after the seventh beta came out.

Registered developers are able to download the tvOS 18 update by opting in to the beta through the Settings app on the Apple TV. A registered developer account is required.

tvOS 18 adds an InSight feature to the TV app, and it is able to provide real-time information about actors, music, and more in Apple TV+ shows and music. Enhanced Dialogue has been refined with machine learning and computational audio so it is better able to boost vocal clarity over background noise and music, plus it is now available on built-in TV speakers, AirPods, and other Bluetooth devices.

Subtitles will now show up automatically when relevant, such as when the TV's volume is muted, a show or movie is rewound, or when the language of a show doesn't match the device language.

Other new features include 21:9 aspect ratio support for projectors, new screen savers and improved controls for swapping screen savers, and support for Live Captions during FaceTime calls through an iPhone or iPad.

Still waiting for those new screensavers which was the whole reason I enrolled in the beta in the first place... At this point I'm beginning to wonder if they'll launch with the public release at all or be delayed until a minor dot update later on.

RIGHT??? Who knew so much engineering went into animating a cartoon dog in space. Apparently this is an achievement on par with Apple's latest AI endeavor

Although if it's anywhere as good as the Snoopy watch face -- with so many fun variations -- it could be worth the wait.

Dolby Atmos bitstream in TrueHD was not added to tvOS 18 ?

I don't understand the delay... We had Disney and Snoopy on the Watch during betas. It's bizarre they're saving Snoopy on ATV for the RC.

I don’t see the 21:9 support for projectors. I updated this morning, don’t see it anywhere in the settings.

I'm beginning to believe it's not going to happen.
