Apple Seeds Fourth Beta of tvOS 16 to Developers

Fix the library tab in the Apple TV app or still a dumpster fire of neglect for Apple’s best customers?

Siri won’t even play stuff from my library, always directs me to a streaming service I don’t have, to watch content that I bought from Apple.

If they seriously want more services revenue stop pushing me to competing services when I’m already a customer and willing to buy more.

Actually I just answered my own question. Why buy my favorite shows to watch over and over when I can rent them forever and Apple takes a cut for signing me up?

With tvOS 16, the Apple TV will support Matter, an upcoming standard that will improve interoperability between smart home accessories from different companies.

I am very excited for Matter to launch later this year.

Another site says this beta adds support for HDR10+. Can anyone confirm that?

I'll let you know when the install finishes, my TV also supports HDR10+ so I'll be able to tell.

I hope this one doesn't keep disconnecting from my HomePod.

Agree it was fine before hopefully this beta will fix it.

Here is what the other site said was new in B4:

Today’s build is 20J5344f. Different from the other betas, developers need to download the tvOS 16 testing version through Xcode. Although HomePod Software 16 is available for a few developers, it’s not clear what the company is holding for its smart speaker lineup.

That said, here’s what’s new with tvOS 16 beta 4 as of now:


* Nintendo Switch controllers compatibility: tvOS 16 will finally support Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons and Pro Controller.
