QUOTE(capoi @ Jun 4 2021, 07:57 AM) Yes i just revisit a content which I knew previously got HDR and Atmos. I tried to Google and just found only 1 new article about this issue for new APTV 4K. I will try to refer Netflix support. Also New Apple TV 4K got labelling issue. This is known issue and wait Apple or Netflix to fix it. In main screen was label correctly, when you enter to play it play correctly (based on TV label change as LG TV will appear HDR or Dolby Vision logo when support video detected). But when you pull down the menu it label wrongly. All 4K HDR file was label as HD in pull down menu for Netflix. What title you known is 4K HDR but now not.

Title such Next Gent and many netflix original also. Already refer to netflix and they can do nothing. I make an appointment call with apple today at 10am. After read through apple forum, I understand the bugs only on the label. When you play the content, it will play HDR and atmos correctly. Then, relief for me.

The apps have in iPhone not means it is available in Apple TV, it depends the developer do for Apple TV or not. From official site, it seems only do for Android TV Box, not for Apple TV. https://www.tvbanywhere.com/This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Jun 8 2021, 09:55 AM

I think Apple is SLEEPING! Keep promoting Dolby Atmos and Lossless but it only appear at older device. - Apple TV 4K (release 2017) - can turn on
- Apple TV 4K (release 2021) - no option to turn on
- Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max (release 2020) - no option to turn on
Screenshot in Apple TV 4K version 2017, this setting is missing at new Apple TV 4K version 2021 or iPhone 12 Pro Max.  This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Jun 8 2021, 02:06 PM

For me I can play lossless fine, but for high res lossless, the music stops when I lock the screen and resumes when I turn it back on Anyone else experiencing this issue? So far I’ve only found Coldplay’s the scientist to be high res lossless

Wait it appear in my iPhone 1st, then I will test it out. Now cannot test as I just check the song you mentioned but Apple TV 4K only show as Lossless and Apple TV 4K only support up to 48khz.

Are you planning on getting iOS 15 beta ? I think Apple silently fixed it. Now I try High-Res Lossless no longer facing song stop when screen lock. I found another album is Hi-Res Lossless. You can playback it as Hi-Res Lossless or Dolby Atmos for this album. This post has been edited by Andrewtst: Jun 9 2021, 08:15 AM

My ATV 4K 2021 seem like got an issue with Bluetooth. It can't detect my Dualshock4. Need to call apple tomorrow and I hope somebody is there. I'm not sure whether they close due to MCO. I need them to replace my ATV.

Once it's paired it should work from normal usage distance.

You can use DNS based geo unblockers which works well on ATV. I feel that it is better solution than VPNs and easy to deploy. Sometime you can get lifetime subscription for a fixed fee. I have been using one for more than 6 years.

 Hello guys. I’ve ordered my Apple TV a few days ago. Would like to confirm if it’s normal to go through two customs clearance points? Also, it says it’s waiting for import licence and that I should contact dhl if I had not been contacted by them yet Is there anything I need to do?
