Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of tvOS 10.0.1 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the fourth beta of tvOS 10.0.1 to developers for testing purposes, 10 days after releasing the third tvOS 10.0.1 beta and more than a month after releasing the tvOS 10 update. tvOS 10.0.1 has been in testing since September 21.

Designed for the fourth-generation Apple TV, the tvOS 10.0.1 beta can be obtained by connecting the Apple TV to a computer with a USB-C to USB-A cable and downloading and installing the software from a registered developer account via iTunes or Apple Configurator. Once a beta profile has been installed on the device through iTunes, new beta updates will be available over the air.

No obvious outward-facing features were discovered in the first three tvOS 10.0.1 betas, so it's likely the update focuses on bug fixes and under-the-hood performance improvements to address issues discovered since the release of the first version of tvOS 10.

Single sign-on, a feature that will allow Apple TV users to sign in once with their cable credentials to access all live cable content included in a cable subscription, does not appear to be included in this beta and will be introduced in the future.

tvOS 10 brings improved search, expanded Siri capabilities, a new dark mode, a Continuity option for using the iPhone for text input, automatic download of universal apps, easy access to live TV, and more.

I was having issues with my remote, my swipes wouldn't always work, I felt like I had to press buttons twice for it to register. I unplugged the apple tv for a few seconds and plugged it back in. that seemed to reset and fix everything for me. worth a try if you haven't already.

Forgot to remove beta profile.

But has anyone had issues with Disney Anywhere movies not showing in iTunes? My kid is not happy some of her movies are not there. Lol

Thanks,
Sometimes I am unsure if it is only my ATV4 that is screwed up. It looks like in this case I am not alone.

Do you mean restart? or reset to factory? Randomly resetting to factory would really suck.

Mine does a "short" restart. Example, I will be on YouTube, and I click on a video to watch. Sometimes the ATV4 automatically goes back to the home screen. If I click back on what I was doing, in the example YouTube, then it is like I just opened the App after a restart.

To clarify, it sort like when an app crashes on your iPhone and goes to the home screen. What happens to mine is the screen goes white for a sec and then back to the home screen. When it does, the top shelf is empty and reloads after a few seconds.

I am regretting having updated my Apple TV 4 to 10.0.1. Not only I see more lag (like when double clicking the "home" button to show the open Apps) but today I tested the Plex App and image stutters and you get clicks and pops with the sound. It may be also in combination with an update to my MBP to 10.12.1 but I doubt it. Trying to stream a movie with Beamer 3 into the Apple TV brings the same result. It is basically unplayable.

Have any of you had a similar experience?. Is it possible to roll back to 10.0.0?
