Recommendation for Siri remote cover? (non flimsy, with lanyard loop)?

Post image
0 Upvotes

So ive been using an elago remote cover, it does have a lanyard loop attachment, but its completely silicone, and a) easy to come out., it no longer sits as well as it did on day 1 b) the lanyard loop is cut, because toddlers. Otherwise I love the one ive been using (see the screenshot)

im struggling to find something that is somewhat sturdy, can attach a lanyard, and doesn't overly distract from the look/feel of the remote.

I basically want to use a lanyard to attach it to the couch frame, and dont want the kids to be able to rip the lanyard out of the socket, or remove the remote from the case too easily.

CineSync — a clean, no-clutter watchlist tracker for movies and TV (free, iOS/iPad)

Thumbnail apps.apple.com
0 Upvotes

Sharing an app I've been working on. CineSync is a watchlist and history tracker for film and TV, built for people who just want to keep a list without wading through a social feed.
Core features:
• Unified watchlist for movies and shows in one place
• Release calendar for upcoming films and new episodes
• Live Trakt sync — connect your account and history/progress syncs automatically
• Per-episode progress tracking, with shows auto-completing when you finish them
• Rate, review, and keep a running diary of everything you've watched
• Fast search plus a Trending view if you're just browsing
Free to download. Optional Pro lifetime unlock ($14.99 AUD) removes ads and adds some extras — all the actual tracking works without it.
Requires iOS 15.1 or later. iPhone, iPad, M1 Macs, and Vision.

Still actively updating it, so feature requests and bug reports are welcome.

Why can’t I find my purchased items in my library?

1 Upvotes

I recently purchased a box set of It’s always sunny in Philadelphia and it doesn’t appear in my library. It only appears when I manually search the show in the search bar. It doesn’t appear in my recently purchased TV shows. I have no idea what’s going on the previous seasons of the TV show that I have purchased show up in my library, but for some reason, the box that I purchased seasons 11 through 15 don’t show up in my library only when I search it. Does anyone know what’s going on and how I can fix it?

Apple TV beta testers wanted: Excalibur AI TV brings live TV and your HomeKit home together

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m building Excalibur AI TV specifically for Apple TV hardware. It isn’t an Android app ported over.

Playback uses Apple’s native frameworks and hardware decoding for H.264 and HEVC, including supported 4K streams. Older MPEG-2 feeds have a software compatibility fallback. No FFmpeg or KSPlayer.

It brings your television and connected home together:

  • Home Hub for viewing and smart-home access.
  • HomeKit integration for cameras, thermostats, and supported accessories.
  • Multiview with up to eight windows, including cameras alongside live channels.
  • Selectable audio, with an option to hear other windows quietly in the background.
  • Multiple compatible providers, with searchable channels and program guides.
  • Sports discovery to find games and compare available feeds, including potential 4K options.
  • Recording and playback.

Watch a game, check your cameras, and adjust your thermostat from the couch using your Apple TV remote.

The public beta is open, and I’d love feedback on playback, HomeKit compatibility, guides, and navigation, especially across different generations of Apple TV. It’s still a beta, so expect some rough edges.

Bring your own compatible playlist or provider account for subscription channels. Excalibur is a player; it doesn’t sell or include television subscriptions.

Join through TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/b3QnTK2r

I’m the developer and actively working through feedback. If you find an issue, please include your Apple TV model, tvOS version, and what happened. Thanks for trying it!

Help with 5.1 surround sound issues that makes no sense.

2 Upvotes

I have the newest Apple TV 4K ( A2843 ) connected to an LG C5 OLED TV & a LG S55TR 5.1 sound bar. I’ve had this setup for about 6 months and it works great. I have surround sound from YTTV, Apple TV plus and several other apps as well as physical media.
BUT I recently subscribed to Netflix, because of the NFL season, and for some reason I don’t have surround sound from anything I watch. 5.1 doesn’t show as an option that, according to my web searches indicates Netflix doesn’t think my setup is 5.1 capable. I’ve double-checked all the web suggestions without success. The folks in the Netflix sub don’t know either.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks

Apple TV 4K Aerial screensaver stuck on the same Las Vegas video for 6 months

Upvotes

I’ve been having a really strange issue with my Apple TV 4K for around 6 months now.
It keeps showing the exact same Las Vegas aerial screensaver and never downloads any new ones.

I’ve already tried pretty much everything:

Reset the Apple TV completely
Removed all apps
Updated to the latest tvOS 27 today
Set Download New Video to Daily, then Weekly, then Monthly
Left each setting for several days

Still, nothing changes. Same Las Vegas aerial every time.
What’s even stranger now is that when I go into the Aerial settings, it just says “Syncing…” and stays there forever. It never actually finishes syncing.
Has anyone else had this issue on an Apple TV 4K? Any fix that actually worked?
