Apple Seeds Second Beta of tvOS 15.4 to Developers

[MacRumors]

Apple today seeded the second beta of an upcoming tvOS 15.4 update to developers for testing purposes, with the software coming two weeks after Apple seeded the first tvOS 15.4 beta.

Developers can download the new tvOS 15.4 beta by downloading a profile onto the ‌Apple TV‌ using Xcode.

tvOS 15.4 adds support for captive Wi-Fi networks, which means that an iPhone or iPad can be used to connect your Apple TV to networks that require additional sign-in steps, such as in hotel rooms.

The update introduces an "Up Next" queue directly to the video player to make it easier to get from show to show when you're watching television. It lets you select your Up Next queue without having to go back to the Home Screen.

tvOS 15.4 also brings a new volume button that's accessible from the video player, and "Tap to Navigate" has returned as an accessibility option. Spatial audio controls have also been redesigned.

For the love of all things, please fix the library issue in the TV app for large libraries. "It's been 84 years..."

It's getting more and more annoying the closer I get to 1k movies

I'm at about 1800 movies myself. For being the premiere space to view movies and TV, the TV app has been nothing but a frustration. You'd think Apple would've fixed this issue years ago but here we are. Like, why punish those who have fully invested into the ecosystem and consistently spend money at their store(s)?

I just want to view my purchased content with ease.

I guess at this point, those with the Library tab still loading within the TV app should consider themselves lucky. Mine hasn't load in forever. If left loading it will just showing list of family members only. So frustrating.

HomePod is more responsive and sounding better than ever. Keep up the great work, Apple! 👏

The iTunes Movies and iTunes TV apps don't have the issue, just the library in the Apple TV app is my understanding.

This was released as a Public beta more than a hour ago.

agreed. I am sure some Product Suit at Apple choses to ignore it because large libraries are an edge case bug. But, this edge case is where Apple’s largest customers live. They are hurting the people who spend the most.

My fear, and expectation, is iTunes and the movie and tv apps are gone next fall, and we’ll lose access to our purchases. (Selecting individual content doesn’t always work.)

what amazes me is the library works on the Mac. Just use that same code for AppleTV. the level of neglect is just so infuriating.

The Atmos bug still isn't fixed.
