    Did they fix the audio delay / passthrough eARC tvOS17 problem ? Can’t wait to set audio to Auto and not Dolby anymore.

    This version includes a new visual ‘On Screen Volume Control’ indicator. Does it work for anybody and if yes, what is providing the audio to your system, ie. is it a soundbar, A/V receiver, just your TV speakers, Bluetooth speakers or headphones, etc.?

      I’ve got a Samsung soundbar and as of this update, I was able to get the volume to work with my AppleTV remote! :)

      Works for my Sonos setup but you can’t disable the ODD on Samsung TV’s which makes it incredibly annoying unfortunately.

    I noticed with the update I can now control volume through the phone remote, where I never was able to before. That alone is a W for me

      I’ve been able to control volume through the phone remote for ages… like at least a decade.

        Yes I know. A lot of people have but again… It wouldn’t work for certain tv for some reason. Trust me I had tried everything prior to get it working and it never would.

    Apple TV FaceTime with iPhone 11 still doesn’t work for me. Black screen. Dissapointing.

    Damn it when will they give us an option to bitstream audio! There’s literally only one thing holding the AppleTV back from being the perfect A/V device and that’s it!

      Never. Apple is a walled garden. They don’t cater to pirates (even though you may rip your own blurays).

      Even if they do, the audience for streaming bluray remuxes are so small that it’s not worth bothering for a company of Apple’s size. The average user only uses streaming apps, they don’t even know or care about bitstream.

        They added support for the DV layer used by blu-rays in this release, so I don’t see why they can’t. And frankly streamers could benefit too from a bitstream option as well.

          Also, can you provide me with a source citing new DV layer support in tvOS 17.1? I can’t seem to find it on Apple’s website.

    Do you guys know if there’s a way around the fact that my iPhone always wants to control my Apple TV through the top control center thingy (iPhone 15 Pro). If I want to raise the volume on an Instagram video or something else that is played inside another app, it just keeps controlling the ATV instead. I have not found any good workarounds either…

    Sonos ARC and Sony tv. It completely broke my volume in an endless max volume or silent volume loop. I can’t watch anything anymore. I’m beyond upset. Switching settings or unplug re-plug doesn’t help

    Apparently having Beta Updates on means you don’t get any updates at all…just turned it off and now I am getting latest code.
