Apple Seeds First Beta of tvOS 11.1 to Developers

[Artitu]

I don't care about "specs" and the ability to play a million different video and audio formats. After I realized iTunes wouldn't play my first ripped movie, I standardized and organized my entire BR collection on uncompressed 1080p, with uncompressed audio onto nice .MP4 files on a 16TB External HD (which I need to back up and put into storage soon). iTunes HomeShare now handles it flawless and is so much better now that I don't need Plex.

Standardizing a media library shouldn't be that big a deal, as long as it's on a format that everyone supports.

How did you set your Homeshare up. When I installed TV IOS 11, I was not able to stream movies from iTunes. When I reverted to 10.2.2 it worked fine. Also, my Apple TV gen 3 works fine. Did you set up Homeshere some way or did I miss a setup instruction? Thanks for your help.

It's better. When I click the Homeshare icon all my movie and tv content now has the slick iTunes interface and I can even access siri from there, related items - that goes through my library and it even includes my purchased iTunes content. It's very nice and user friendly now. A lot better than Plex now, imho.

I can't get my Homeshare to work with iOS 11. It works fine with my Gen 3 Apple TV and when I revert to iOS 10.2.2 on my Gen 4 Apple TV it works fine. But when I update to iOS 11 the movies will not play. I can see them, but when I push play all I get is a blank screen. Help...

I'll be installing tonight. Any improvements to overall performance or the remote?

Not sure what you mean? I just turned it on. Your movies pretty much need to be in .mp4 format.

After about five minutes the sound gain peaks and the upper frequencies of sounds start to clip. Most noticeably in the UI sounds. Changing the sound output from auto to 16-bit or vice versa fixes it for a few minutes before you either do it again or live with it.

Resetting hdmi cable or restart has the same effect. No combination of audio or video settings makes a difference.

What is the ATV connected to? (AVR or TV?)

Try turning home sharing off in iTunes and ATV, then turn it on in iTunes first, then ATV.

Have you tried restarting your router?

I used this amazing app from the App store called Film Tag. I don't think its supported anymore, but at the time it was brilliant. As long as you titled your file correctly say SeinfeldS1Ep1 or movie bladerunner. You just drag it into the app and it would automatically tag the episode with the full metadata and add the appropriate box art. It's formatted for iTunes but Plex read the meta data perfectly fine as well.

Why would you need to see more than 10 unwatched things? Really, just finish watching something. Sheesh.

I "solved" the problem by buying a USB-USB-C cable and rolling it back to 10.2.2

There is nothing in TVOS11 that makes it better than 10.2.2.

As for finishing watching, well my watching depends if my partner is watching with me, what kind of mood I am in, etc etc etc. And I may go weeks without watching anything.
The whole point of having a computer is so that I should not have to do the things is is capable of, eg remembering what I have watched and making it easy for me to catch up to where I am at with any show. And TVOS11 takes a lot of it away or makes it significantly more difficult. It has not SOLVED a problem, it has BECOME a problem.

Sorry you’re not happy with things. Clearly it’s the direction. Sounds like you can be on 10.2.2 and be happy. Maybe you can look at Plex or something Alternative to suit your needs.
