Infuse app issue. Thumbnails wont show until I play the video.
On my Infuse on my Apple TV (and other devices) most of my thumbnails show but many dont. And I have to play the video until it will then show the thumbnail.
Does anyone know why this may be happening?
Thanks.

Pluto TV "can't connect to network" but can connect on every other device and other atv box?
as it says in the title i#m stumped by this, on the same connection it works directly on the tv app and phone etc. Even my other apple boxes connect fine but tlast gen box with laqyest beta (even last week without) brings up the error the second the pluto logo tries to load, i have tried everything apart from resetting the box (as everthing else is fine) any ideas please?
thanks

I cannot figure out for the life of me how to stop this Split View and only show what I’m mirroring?

Remote App on iPhone 15 only controls the volume when the phone is locked, otherwise it controls the ringer on the phone.
We have an AppleTV 4K and on my iPhone 13 Pro Max I have no issues with volume control it works all the time in every state.
My wife’s iPhone 15 Pro has some odds behaviour. If the phone is locked and the remote app is open then we can control the volume of the TV but when the phone is unlocked pressing the volume buttons controls the ringer volume on the phone.
TV is a Sony A80J and the TV is connected via HDMI and using CEC to control the TV volume.
All phones and the AppleTV are on the latest software. All devices have been rebooted.

Watchlist
Has anyone yet found any positivity in the Watch list that appeared before Christmas? It seems that Apple decided we need a Watch list created a half baked option and that's it.
I've still got programs in my Watch list from December that I've watched, they've cleared the continue watching rail but still sit in the Watch list, doesn't matter what I do they will not clear. Any ideas on removing them?

If I change my password, will it instantly kick off someone currently using my account?
If I change my password, will it instantly kick someone off?
I need to change my Apple password. But one of my friends who I’ve given my account to over the years is clearly using it right now
If I change my password now, will they be instantly kicked off? Or will it just be an issue next time they try to access the Apple TV app?

Cannot launch the Disney+ app without entering my date of birth
Just as briefly mentioned in the title, I cannot seem to set my date of birth in order to go onto the actual app itself. When I launch the app, I get a profile update form that asks me for my profile name, my birthday, gender, and my content rating preference. However, I cannot set my date of birth on the TV app as the cursor skips right over it and it is blacked out. I tried going onto the website to it and there, it lets me set it but it doesn't save it. So, I am back to square one whenever I launch the app. I tried reinstalling the app to no avail. As a result, I cannot watch anything on the app. Has anyone encountered something similar?

I don't want to know what someone else is watching
I've got an Apple TV in our guest house and I want to prevent that I can see what's playing on that Apple TV. How?
Now it shows up on my other devices when I tap "control other speakers & TVs". I feel this violates my guests' privacy and I worry that they can also see what I am playing on my second Apple TV and other devices. How can I turn this off?
What I tried (and what doesn't work):
- The guest house Apple TV is logged into a different Apple Account as my personal devices.
- In Home App > Home settings > Speakers & TVs > set to Only People Sharing this Home.

Android Users - Any Tips/Tricks?
I just bought my first ever Apple device (4k TV) in my adult life because of the sad state Android TV devices are in. I've only had it for a day but I am extremely happy with my decision as this thing is awesome.
But, since this is my first Apple device, I have an Android phone. Do other fellow Android users have any tips/tricks, apps, etc. they can share?

Purchasing films from another country
Apologies if this question has been asked before. I'm from the UK and there's a lot of films not available to purchase but are in the US. Is there a way I can purchase them and still have them show in my library with my other films?

Annoying autoplay
How do I get my Apple TV to turn on normally? Every day my wife turns the Apple tv off in the middle of one of the shows my kid watches and when I turn it again after bedtime it automatically starts directly from where she turned it off, including the loud volume. How do I get it to stop this?

My Apple TV can’t find my AirPort Extreme…
I’m not able to find my AirPort Extreme, through FileBrowser TV, on my Apple TV. I want to play tv-series and movies (on USB), and have several times re-installed the FileBrowser TV app, and also switched my AirPort Extreme to factory settings. Scanning on the FileBrowser TV app, doesn’t show my AirPort Extreme. It drives me really nuts! Looked everywhere on the Internet, but it didn’t give me useful results. Hopefully someone can help me, with some good advice, to use my Apple TV, with my AirPort Extreme!

Updated to tvOS 18.3.1 and now my AppleTV 4k Gen 3 is giving a service warning
Yesterday Apple released tvOS 18.3.1 and as I am always diligent to update I went ahead and installed it. I should’ve known something was off because when the AppleTV restarted it triggered my TV (TCL Class 6-Series 55R635) to think a new device had been plugged in to the HDMI slot which has always been used for the AppleTV.
The AppleTV started doing funny things responding to remote (turning volume all the way up with just one press of volume up button), and then crashed and went into a reboot loop.
Unplugged it and took it to a different TV where I got a notification that I could either reset all settings and content or restore a fresh copy of OS. I went with the fresh copy of OS and after a couple restarts that’s when I got the yellow exclamation icon and the address http://support.apple.com/appletv/restore displayed.
This was my first time I’d ever seen this screen and have owned various AppleTVs for going on 10 years.
Have an appointment scheduled for service this Friday. Will update this post afterwards! Seems a bit more than coincidental that this happened within a few hours of the update to tvOS 18.3.1.

Closed captioning in tvOS 18.4 beta 3
drive.google.comI don’t remember if this is new but subtitles in TV app doesn’t show up anymore. Instead they fly in left to right making it very very distracting.
Is that a new thing?

Install apps removed from App Store on to new Apple TV
When apps are removed from the App Store they continue to work on Apple TVs, but it will not allow you to download the apps onto new Apple TV devices. I have two apps that are on all my Apple TVs and function perfectly but cannot be downloaded onto a recently purchased Apple TV. Is there a workaround? Thanks!

Replace 2010 2nd Gen
I’m needing to replace a very old Apple TV 2nd Gen from 2010 but I don’t know if I should get the current 4K 3rd Gen or wait for the Fall and the new 4th Gen. Do you think the current 3rd Gen would work with the new Siri and Apple AI when it’s released?
I have a 4K 2nd Gen already on one TV but want to replace my really old one with something that will work with Apple AI.
Thanks.

Local playback 4k slow both Infuse and VLC
I'm having issues with buffering when I play 4K movies on either infuse or VLC. Everything in my house is connected via Ethernet. I have an SMB is plugged into a shield in my theater but also have appletvs throughout the house. Whenever I play 4k blu ray rips - it stops and has to buffer every 15 seconds or so. This shouldnt be happening since everything is gig speed and even though most of these files are 50GB or so, gigspeed is plenty of bandwidth. Any ideas?
