No 4k (not youtube) after update tvos14

[Aidan04]

Hey guys, so since i updated yesterday to tv os 14, there is absolutely no 4k on my apple tv content.. Before i had 4k movies on vlc player I transferred from the mac and they were playing fluently. Now when i try to play them they are stuttering and stuck... checked the video settings and nothing changed as it seems.. it’s really frustrating 🙁

same problem here with youtube.while browsing I can see 4K titles marked but can't play in 4k just 1080p.
why?

Maybe the YouTube app needs to be updated to support this or waiting for google to flip a switch on their end?

the app needs to be updated, even it the OS supports a new feature, the individual app developers still need to code those features into their apps.

especially with the short time between when apple released the "gold master" (developer pre-release of final version) and when the final version was released to public. Typically they get a week or two, this time they got less than 24 hours.
OS changes can break apps in silly and unexpected ways, YouTube (and all other developers) need time to fully bug test their apps against the actual OS people will be using. otherwise their apps might have problems that didn't exist in the previous beta version of the OS.
And if they released buggy software, the outrage would be even higher than a late release software.

Apple also tends to add a few features in the final version that weren't in the betas that they wanted to keep them secret, like the new watch faces, which can alter the way things work. (watch faces should cause much of a problem, just an easy to see example)

I'm also not sure when apple starts accepting apps for the store that have been coded for the new OS.
and most probably wouldn't submit till gold master comes out, so there's probably a back log of apps waiting for approval. Although google probably has a bit more sway and can jump the line a bit.

The thing is, it’s not youtube here, it’s a movie that on the apple tv storage, that before played fluently and now it all stutters like a problem with the hdmi cable ( but of course it’s not, since it happened only after the update)

do you have your wifi separated into 2.4 and 5?

recently, (might have been after the update, not sure) mine switched to the 2.4 on it's own, and I was having issues with some apps.

Apple started accepting apps for the new OS on Tuesday night. It's true there's most likely a backlog, as I've only had about a dozen app updates mention new iOS features on my iPhone.

My concern is that I was previously getting a 4K option on my iPhone, and now I'm getting a max option of 720p, and thinking of the rumor that Google is going to make PiP on their app require a YouTube Red account.
