ronildoq Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Yes. Activate Beta on. Then click Software Update. That's it! [emoji23] Sent from my Pixel 4a using Tapatalk Got it, that simple. Thanks a lot. Been reading the wrong article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desray Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Got it, that simple. Thanks a lot. Been reading the wrong article [emoji2357] There is a difference between developer beta vs public beta. Developers will receive first but usually within a day or two, public beta will become avail. Hence my previous post stating, "...look out for a new beta coming soon."

ronildoq Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I see, so on beta itself there are two versions of it, one meant for the developer and one meant for public release. Got it! Thanks a lot ! Learnt something new today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronildoq Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Just loaded beta last night, and it works now atmos . For those attempting it the first time like me, there is also a need To Enroll your devices in the Apple Beta Software Program to get the latest public betas from Software Update. You must Agree to the Apple Beta Software Program terms and conditions if necessary, only after agreeing, will you see one more option to update to beta under system , software updates Then this beta software update will appear (circled in red) “ after signing providing consent” on the Apple beta programme with the link here https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/ Hope that helps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggie Howser Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 So I was experiencing very very loud popping when playing Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision on my AppleTV. I tried changing settings. And initially turning off Dolby Vision or Atmos would fix the problem but recently it’s gotten worse. I tried better cables. Nada. Made me think it could be a hardware issue. I happened to have a second Apple TV in the living room. Annoyed the missus in the middle of her Netflix Korean drama but swapping the unit took less than a minute. Brought the other unit in and plugged it to my HT system. Zero pops. Now I’ll have to bring the other one to Apple to get a replacement. Hope the warranty is still active.

petetherock Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Just to save you the effort of getting a replacement: I wonder if you have tried a reset? Or maybe check that the connectors are tight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie Howser Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Already did a reset a week back. Even changed cables while I was troubleshooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desray Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 (edited) Just a quick update. The YouTube app on my Apple TV 4K now supports 4K streaming at 30fps (no 60fps when I tried) sans the HDR. A check at the need stats confirmed that it's colorimetry support is up to BT709 only. Not sure whether it is due to the limitation of Apple's chipset not powerful enough (which I highly doubt it) or something else. Let's hope that we will eventually have 4K at 60fps and HDR support soon. I have also placed an order for a new Roku Ultra 2020 streamer box that supports DV and Dolby Atmos. The YouTube app confirm can support up to 4K at 60fps and HDR. Just don't understand why Apple can't. Edited October 16, 2020 by desray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kardtoon Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Has anyone tried the new duo HomePod spatial audio support for ATMOS on the Apple TV 14.2 OS? im wondering if it might be better sounding than my Sonos Beam soundbar. I could be tempted to get a second HomePod if it’s so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetherock Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Watch out on the repair costs for the new mini... it seems Apple is charging almost as much as a new unit stateside.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzero Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 hi guys! just got the apple TV 4K I find that 7.1 media is kinda lacking - my 4k netflix series seems to only pop the extra channels with the "ATMOS" movies or series Anyone have good files to share to test my new 7.1 system? Also - any good apple tv program to load these files? I downloaded VLC but im wondering what everyone else is using to play back clips on their apple tv?

petetherock Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Maybe I'm not following you.. You have a ATV and a 7.1 setup, and you want sound to come from all 7 surround channels that you are using? Depending on what amp do you own, you may need to turn on the pseudo surround modes to expand the soundtracks, which are using lossy 5.1 from the Netflix app. I don't recall any 7.1 native tracks from Netflix. Atmos ones are available, but not 7.1. Check your manual and see what surround modes are available in your AV amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted November 25, 2020 Administrator Share Posted November 25, 2020 Most of the content on streaming apps I've come across on ATV is 5.1. As @petetherock mentioned, depending on amp you may be able to upmix with your settings. As for apps for playing back local content, Plex, Infuse and Emby are the players of choice for most. Personally, I use Infuse on the front end with a Plex server backend. Ultimately I have ditched the ATV 4K in favour of a Zapitti Pro 4K though, which just does everything better.
