That is all streamers including the shield (I think there is some non widely used streamers with more support). Although profile 7 or 8 will play in hdr ok, might even play in a Dolby vision container depending on software.

Yes it does. Profile 5 plays perfectly. Infuse plays profile 5 and 8 perfectly, usually Plex is just a few months behind infuse.
No streamer really supports profile 7, don’t fall for fake dv where it’s just hdr played in a Dolby vision container.
All that said, if you have a good tv the difference between dv and hdr is very minor. So much so that the best tv doesn’t even have Dolby vision.

I have the old model (64GB) and the new 2022 128GB model being used in different rooms, and I genuinely do not see a difference in day-to-day media consumption. Of course this may change in 1-2 years time, but I wouldn't hesitate to jump on the old one, especially if on a budget. It still works fabulously.

The only difference is new one supports Apple Music karaoke which is the only reason I got new one lol, for the usb c port which doesn’t matter for me.tdotishome wrote: ↑ I have the old model (64GB) and the new 2022 128GB model being used in different rooms, and I genuinely do not see a difference in day-to-day media consumption.

I use a Smart DNS service and it routes the traffic according to the service/app used. Try Windscribe’s Control D (can route D+ to Canada) or SmartDNSProxy (D+ is sent to US but includes a VPN).heartbug18 wrote: ↑ Any VPN apps are available on tvOS?
I’ve created a Canadian, US, and UK Apple accounts to download apps and the Smart DNS takes care of the rest for traffic routing.

Does anyone know if you can have separate volume for the airpods as well? Meaning I have my own set volume for my airpods.
And my wife has her own volume for her own airpods.
Or is it all connected and just the same volume, whatever you set the tv to?

nplayer is like $7 life time, and infuse is $13 a year, I have been using nplayer for 7 years now, if I use infuse, it will be 13 * 7 = $91.... and it is NOT experience? and you bring the teen burger meal? how about a steak dinner? then infuse can charge $100 year making it not expensive?edifonzo wrote: ↑ It's $13 per year for a pro subscription, that's one Teen Burger Meal. And it should work through family share, so 6 people can use it. It has an active forum and devs who are focused on this one ecosystem. The lack of my personal effort to trouble shoot this across multiple people is very much worth the $13. I tried Plex on the atv but it would not play files reliably, granted I did not test it out very much so I will give it a other shot.
Doesn't seem too expensive to me.

This post is the first time you have shared your preferred app, and with such passion. Nplayer seems like a good option and worth a try for the price. I am not sure it works for me as I cannot find any support online like a forum or a subreddit that shows that anyone has set Nplayer up as a Plex client. But for local files it seem like they are many people who recommend Nplayer.lightmeup wrote: ↑ nplayer is like $7 life time, and infuse is $13 a year, I have been using nplayer for 7 years now, if I use infuse, it will be 13 * 7 = $91.... and it is NOT experience? and you bring the teen burger meal? how about a steak dinner? then infuse can charge $100 year making it not expensive?

Depending on when you started using Infuse, you could have a one time lifetime subscription like I do. It is still a great player with the yearly subscription model.lightmeup wrote: ↑ nplayer is like $7 life time, and infuse is $13 a year, I have been using nplayer for 7 years now, if I use infuse, it will be 13 * 7 = $91.... and it is NOT experience? and you bring the teen burger meal? how about a steak dinner? then infuse can charge $100 year making it not expensive?

This! I use Getflix smart dns service. Apple TV allows you to change your DNS server ip address making it very simple to get access to BBC, CH 4, ITV streams from the UK. You just need to create a (free) UK apple id to download their apps.shopper-X wrote: ↑ I use a Smart DNS service and it routes the traffic according to the service/app used.

I also sub to Peacock, Hulu and Paramount+ from the USA. Google TV and Roku don't allow you to change the dns server ip. You would have to do that at your router.
The Great Pottery Thrown Down season 6 starts tomorrow on CH 4!

I have 5 Apple TV 4K at home. Some are the 2017 first gen and some are the 2021 one. All my videos are in my office’s late 2015 iMac 27. Everything’s smooth like butter. No plan/need to upgrade anything. Talk about long term value.
I got two of the 1st Gen one from Kijiji for $40 each !
I’ve tried Google TV 4K when it was on sale for $49.99 and I bought two. Returned within a week. The experience is night and day.

I had all 3 Gens 4K ATV, I also got 4K Gen 1 from 2017, I got Google 4K TV for $40 as well( I don’t hate it , it’s good bonus, but I hate the browser on it , you have to use mouse&keyboard , and very sluggish) on 4K ATV the browser experience is way much better, I just use remote click 2 buttons it’s good to go, if I want to input website I got notifications on my iPhone immediately. I use browser &youtube on Atv 90% of my time.) I’m curious why you bought very old ATV Gen 1? I sold atv Gen 3 for $40 , 4K Gen 1 for $110 before Christmas.Chuttt wrote: ↑ I have 5 Apple TV 4K at home. Some are the 2017 first gen and some are the 2021 one.

I have 4K movies in google play movies but it only plays FHD in youtube in this ATV 4K, same in iPhone 13PM.
I have gen 1 and 2, and tempted to get another gen 2 64GB because I can get it for only $122.96
