Everything NEW for Apple TV in tvOS 18! beta 5

[@svendegroote1940]

What about audio passthrough ? That's all I really care for ...It worked prior to tvOS 11.4 then they removed it. Bring it back for those DTS-X, TrueHD, Atmos ... tracks so our receivers can do their job properly !

[@alphaj9]

I wonder why they’d remove something like that. I do admit that audio coming from it does seem superior to what comes from my tv but not quite on par with unfiltered signal being decoded by my receiver but close.

I hope Apple joined the advanced audio system-is behind the times. I wonder why they are so reluctant to upgrade audio?

One thing we need is audio passthrough

Hi, I updated my Apple TV 4k to the beta 5 version, unfortunately, it didn't support Dolby Digital which means my AVR is not changing the formats automatically and the TV is showing the PCM format only not in Bitstream. However, other OTT box networks are doing properly and supporting the Dolby Digital format. Please help me in this regard.

earned a new subscriber. great video.

@@T7RAP thanks. I got a lot more Apple TV videos coming up

Great Video!Have you ever requested for the movie library in Apple TV app to have a sort option? I always ask it but Apple never adds it. IT is the only platform that I know of where you can't sort your digital library, which in this day and age is pretty disappointing.

no 21:9 support?

Do you advise me to purchase a Apple tv at this moment. I'm not sure, but I believe the next generation will come only in 2025. Is that true?

All those features sound great, but I'm still frustrated that we can't set a passcode on our user accounts. It's really annoying that anyone can switch to a different user account without any verification. It would be much better if each user could set up their Apple TV to their own preferences, like app arrangement and settings. This way, when you switch to your account, everything is just the way you like it. Additionally, it would be awesome to not have to go back into settings to turn off parental controls every time I want to watch TV after the kids have been using it. Please allow us to set parental restrictions on a single account! This feature is already available on other devices, so there's no reason it shouldn't be available here too!

I’m not sure what Apple doing but it seems I can’t get the iTunes movie info even if I long press. It always gives me to watch on Disney plus and for example kingdom of planet of apes it will say 4K hdr 5.1 and there’s no way to get iTunes info.
