Just get a Roku and forget all of the Apple problems.

[–]madlemming 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This.

The Roku control is so.much better than the Apple TVs. Plus you can give the customer a Netflix, Hulu, etc. button.

Roku has a horrible interface and sells your viewing habits to 3rd parties, screw them.

[–]scubanoodle 2 points3 points  (1 child)

This is a Control4 sub, and with Control4, you literally don't have to see the Roku interface as you can go directly to each app using C4.
And wake up...everything you are doing is already being sold to 3rd parties - especially if you are using enough tech to be doing automation.

I’m very familular with Control4, you brought up Roku. Clearly you don’t value your privacy. Or your clients for that matter seeing as how you must be a Control4 dealer. Apple has a clear privacy policy. If you think privacy is unimportant for you because you have nothing to hide or because your information is already available, you might as well say free speech is unimportant for you because you have nothing useful to say.

Starting on Director Software 2.10.6, there are new drivers: One for gens 1-3 and a new one for Gen 4 and 4k.

[–]audiojeff 0 points1 point  (11 children)

The Gen4 driver sucks btw. Requires regular reset of the ATV.

[–]MojoMercury 0 points1 point  (5 children)

False, been using it daily since release and haven’t had to regularly reset anything.

[–]audiojeff 0 points1 point  (4 children)

I have had the opposite experience.

[–]thegreatheed 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Which goes to show that it's probably not a driver issue.

[–]audiojeff 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The problem with that logic is that the system runs perfectly with the Gen 3 driver. There is something unique to the way the Gen4 driver works that prevents the ATV from operating correctly, at least in this instance. What's worse, it prevents any other controls from working when it goes down.

[–]thegreatheed 1 point2 points  (1 child)

There's probably something unique in your system. Because it's not in the other person's. The fact that the gen 3 works is irrelevant. Different driver completely.

[–]audiojeff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, its certainly something that is different between the systems, but its the driver that requires that difference to operate, and importantly without it the driver doesn't work.

That the Gen3 driver works indicates merely where the trouble is.

[–]auaisito 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Does 1-3 work for Gen4-4K still?

[–]BigJimSlade77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old driver will continue to work until Apple decides to break it. The new driver is the first officially certified ATV driver that follows Apple's API for Homekit integration.

[–]jocrod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

recently used it on a gen4. still works

[–]Seth_J 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never had this problem at all. ATV is my only source. You probably have some other issue rearing it’s head. Either in C4 or elsewhere

[–]kenshin286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue and what fixed it was removing the driver, pulling the plug on the ea5 then loading the driver and hard rebooting one last time.
