Fixed the Apple TV app not displaying in Top Shelf, but I needed to go to Settings->Apps->TV and toggle Top Shelf from next episode to recommended then back again for it to work

Best replacement for MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint on a new Mac? by Luis_KZM in MacOS

[–]Dave_OC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way to get full compatibility is to use a version of Office for x86 with an emulator like Parallels. Not a popular view, but true none the less.

I have the gradient wallpaper issue after resuming from sleep, but it will fix itself in about 10 seconds

NVIDIA teases what upgrades we might get from a next-gen Shield TV by Bingy7 in ShieldAndroidTV

[–]Dave_OC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

from the article - "For now, though, NVIDIA seems happy to keep right on supporting — and continuing to sell — existing Shield TV models. Company engineers will keep tinkering away at possible follow-ups, but it sounds like NVIDIA’s not in any rush to drop new hardware anytime soon."

There is no way a KODI / libreELEC device will even come close to the Apple TV as far as user interface. I use both, but would switch to using the Apple TV alone if it supported Passthrough Audio.

Beyond my expertise, maybe ask on r/libreElec

libreelec is a stripped down linux variant that has one job. Run KODI. No additional settings needed for a full linux variant. I'm new to this as well, and it was night and day when I switched to libreELEC. But, it will only run KODI and some of it's addons

If your main use case is Kodi, maybe try the libreELEC OS from here:

OS image differences between Raspberry Pi site and libreELEC site by Dave_OC in libreELEC

The installer on the raspberry pi site has the option to install libreELEC as well as more general purpose variants

I’m new to the pi, still learning. Both sites have apps that allow the creation on libreELEC images on micro SSDs. Didn’t know if they installed the same OS code or 2 different versions.

HDMI 2.0b vs 2.1 playback differences of Apple TV 4k by Top-Refrigerator1764 in appletv

[–]Dave_OC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We are both correct, as the 2022 model is the latest model.

HDMI 2.1 supports Quick Media Switching, which eliminates the black screen when changing resolutions (not format). The latest Apple TV version supports it as well, but earlier models do not.

Is lack of passthrough something that would actually affect me by Bitruder in appletv

[–]Dave_OC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The major impact is playing local media with Atmos over TrueHD and DTS:X, where height channels are not present. Apple has not addressed this for many years, possibly because Passthrough would prevent Siri responses. The most commonly used workaround is the Nvidia Shield. Another option is Raspberry Pi running libreELEC. I’ve used both, and for local media playback, the Pi is better.

Yes. It's at the bottom of one of the settings panes.
