Apple Seeds First Beta of tvOS 14.2 Update to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming tvOS 14.2 update to developers for testing purposes, with the new beta coming just a day after the release of the tvOS 14 update.

Designed for the fourth and fifth-generation Apple TV models, the tvOS 14.2 developer beta can be downloaded onto the ‌‌‌‌‌Apple TV‌‌‌‌‌ via a profile that’s installed using Xcode.

tvOS updates other than new releases are typically minor in scale, focusing on under-the-hood bug fixes and improvements rather than major outward-facing changes. There’s no word yet on what’s included in tvOS 14.2 update, but we’ll update this article should anything new be found.

It’s over there.

It’s over there.

Nah it’s sitting in a warehouse over here, ready to ship since last May according to a mixed-record leaker.

Im ready though. My second gen 🤣 is basically obsolete. The current box is fine but I’ll wait to see what features the new model(s) add.

tvOS 14.2 beta (18K5027e) in case you are wondering what the build is.

So this might be a stretch... but could the skip of 14.1 indicate that there’s an Apple TV refresh next month with the iPhones?

Still haven’t fixed the inability to load large libraries of purchases, punishing Apple’s most valuable customers.

It’s only been years. I guess Apple has bigger priorities than its best customers.

is this the YouTube 4k fix? cause it aint work.

 

[JosephAW]

My poor cellular connection has been slow since iOS 14. Probably from all the forced updates for apps. Can't wait for things to return to normal.

Spatial Audio please 👀

Has anyone been able to get instant switching for the AirPods Pro to work on the current tvOS? Or am I the only one with a problem?

Hey that’s pretty good analysis... could be!

there's nothing to fix. there is no app update for it yet.

that's on google for not having the app ready for a tvos update everyone knew was coming

 

[morrison22]

Is there a discussion going on in any forum about any updates to the YouTube app on appletv?

 

[4jasontv]

I still can't access homekit on tvOS.

 

[insomniac86]

Spatial Audio please 👀

Amen to that.

 

[Statman_]

Hmmm....updating to 14.2 beta broke my Atmos. Anyone else had this happen?

Yes what is going on with this? Where is it?

 

[Minato1990]

We need to spam youtube and ask them to ****ing update their app.
I WANT 4K YOUTUBE COT DANGIT

Does no one watch the WWDC videos? Read any of the posts about it? It’s been said many times that it’s not home app on the TV. You you access it through the universal menu by holding down the menu button. You know where you switch user and access the other shortcuts.

NASA has nothing to do with this.

Same. Audio Settings says ATMOS is available and there's an Atmos label on Netflix, but sound outputs at 7.1 LPCM

Thanks for confirming. Hope they fix it in the next update. Quite a big deal for me. The price you pay for Beta.

Got it on mine..... You have to hold down the screen button on an original Apple TV remote for it to show up. It's pretty basic though, and no multi-home functionality (hopefully that's a "yet").

I also had to update to 14 manually, despite it being a wired internet connection. It had updated a few days ago, which I thought was to 14 but must have been the previous point release.

Yes I confirm no Dolby Atmos after the beta
