Does anyone know what "Auto" does in the subtitles setting via the drop down menu while watching a iTunes movie.

I get a choice between off, auto and on for subtitles.

Thanks

My Apple TV 4K died..... Luckily I can just Airplay my movies to the tv. Tried calling Apple but they don’t offer mail in service for Apple TV ? and I would need to take it to a store which tbh I cannot be bothered with as it’s Birmingham which is a pain. Crap result from Apple tbh seeing as I have over 600 movies I have purchased but they were pretty useless.

Apple TV app is available on my LG C9 now.

Works good too not so annoyed my box died now....lol

Only issue I can’t seem to access movie special features unless there is a different way of doing it with the app ?

I’ve had it on my Samsung tv for a while, it’s not too bad.

Any idea how or if you can access the movie special features ?

I haven’t figured it out yet, quite annoying as when you click on a film in your library, it just loads the film straight up.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Yeah I have had a good play around and cannot find a way to access them tbh I’m not sure you can which is not ideal. Hopefully it will be added in an update.

 

[Broken Hope]

Is there no way of accessing chapters either on the TV app? You can on an actual ATV.

Don’t think there is not on my B9 app I can see.

Got to say that Apple TV’s own shows, especially ‘See’ are probably the best quality streams I have seen. Anyone know the bitrate?

They've been tested up to 50Mbps I believe....meant to be very high.

Can someone who uses Plex on their Apple TV clarify something for me? I use an external amp and most of my content is DTS-MA. However my amp is only configured as 5.1, so there is no Atmos. If I play such a film using the Apple TV instead of my NVidia Shield using pass through, am I right in saying that I get no difference in quality, the only difference is I lose the Atmos bits (which I don't have) and the receiver light doesn't show up?

https://support.plex.tv/articles/212072167-audio-configuration-guide-plex-media-player/

As you might have read at the top of this article we strongly recommend that you use the audio decoder that Plex Media Player is using. The reasons for this are many:

• Plex Media Player handles PCM better. Features like can only work with PCM as there is no way to resample encoded data, and the worry about needing exclusive audio access is not there.
• Some operating systems (like Mac OS X) can not passthrough some audio formats, so issues will arise.
• If you enable passthrough for something that is not 100% supported on your device, you may just get noise, or silence.

So in short; when using decoding the only drawbacks are the lack of the extended Atmos data bits, and that your receiver will not light up the TrueHD light. Don’t worry, though: even if the pretty light doesn’t go on, you’re still getting identical sound!

I watched IT Chapter 2 last night and I had the Apple TV set to Dolby Digital 5.1 rather than don't change and to be honest it sounded as good if not better than when using the Shield. I've just tried another couple of films on don't change and again, the audio is perfectly fine.

I'm asking as using the Apple TV suits me more than using the Shield.

Shame the YouTube App is unusable garbage.

Ever consider that the app will be updated once tvOS 14 arrives?

It’s a perfectly usable app in the meantime.
