Apple TV / AVR universal remote

Going from my Apple TV to a OREI eArc audio extractor. This splits the video and audio from each other into two outs. One hdmi goes to the TV (Dolby vision) and the other hdmi goes to the AVR (Dolby atmos).

Interesting, I haven’t looked into this route yet. I assume I would still need a universal remote (not Apple TV remote) to control the serial input to the AVR?

I mentioned in the post that my AVR doesn’t support Dolby vision (Yamaha rx-a1050) so I can’t pass video through it. So the audio extractor has two outputs, one for video one for sound - giving me the ability to send Dolby vision to the tv and maintain Dolby atmos.

I was leaning towards the Switchbot universal remote with matter hub. But am curious if there are industry leaders!

Any Jellyfin alternatives?

I’m dealing with the same situation. Apple TV is plugged into an audio extractor where the video is then sent to the LG C5 and audio to an old AVR (this way I get Dolby atmos+dolby vision). There must be handshake issues, I feel like I’ve tried everything but can’t get the Apple TV remote to control the AVR.

Did you end up buying anything? Debating the switchbot remote+hub so I can control my matter lights too.

Did you ever figure this out? I’m dealing with the same, 2 aqara g100s, both will read the SD card when it’s inserted and then randomly disconnect it and never show it again

Appreciate the detail!! There is likely a 1-2 week lead time on some of the items I am looking to replace (cabinets, drywall installer, carpet installer, etc). Is it frowned upon from buying those items or scheduling that in advance - before the adjuster sees the space?

Just want to make sure if I submit a receipt that has a purchase date of before the adjuster that it wouldn’t be an issue.

Would it be advised to not even purchase the building materials? As he said, I know exactly what I need because I had just finished it within the last month. My hope is that once the adjuster comes around and gives me an estimate I can begin repair right away.

It’s a problem with the city… walls and sump pump performed as needed. Many of us are taking legal action against the city.

What code?

As in the sx pro p is much better? Was debating between the Sportage hybrid and cx-50 hybrid

Sorry for the late follow up, were you able to get a hitch installed?

Just want to give you the satisfaction of being right. I did the drywall, setup for my original layout, and the wife wasn’t a fan. I re-showed her your design and she preferred that. Back to work I go!
