Apple TV won't play movies at home since I've updated for TV OS 10.0. Before the update has never had a problem streaming the content of my iMac on the Apple TV. I have no problems of dissemination of content on the internet.
Equipment:
Apple TV 4th Gen - TV OS 10.0

iTunes v. 12.5.1
Restart all the facilities, I had the same problem yesterday

Nice day! My new Apple TV 4th gen: video stutters/pads several times when connected in bluetooth for headset Motorola S9 - HD. Normal play time before the start of the stuttering/buffering is about 15 seconds. The headphone stops also in stuttering. After that the buffer of spinning button stops, all goes back to normal until the next cycle. This happens on all video activity of any source. If I disconnect the headset in the bluetooth settings, everything is completely OK. This is a brand new Apple TV 4, with the latest updates. This stuttering also occurs when of the Air Airplaying of my iPad, or if playback purchased iTunes movies.
The main reason for the purchase of this 4th Apple TV:
1. availability of the App Store of Apple TV.
2. ability to connect his bluetooth headset and ensure the privacy of the other
3. the beautiful screensavers.
4. menu main display and interface.
5. Siri Remote.
Others have run into this problem? Is it known to be a workaround?
Thank you very much for your time.

I wanted to add to my previous question that I tested the speed of the WiFi using my iPad Air in the same room with the Apple TV 4. Used SpeedOf.Me Lite and went up 23 Mbps download and shipping.
Should have mentioned this in the original post.

Can't play music bought on the cloud on Apple TV (4th gen)
I just started to use the Apple's music, and when I go to my music on my MacBook Air and iPhone/iPad, I can play anything I added whether through Apple music, music purchased from the iTunes Store or my own music that corresponded via iCloud music library.
On my Apple TV (4th gen), however, I can't play the purchased songs. Apple and my own songs music songs play fine. But if I choose one of the purchased albums, the screen does is display the album artwork for every song Flash by very quickly, but does not play anything.
Someone knows how to fix this or if this is a known bug?
Thank you!
You can try to reboot the device, and then disconnect the store and insert it again.

IPHONE 5 C WON'T PLAY VIDEOS
Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.
- Press and hold the sleep/wake button
- Press and hold the Home button
- Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.
Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings
If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.
Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

Apple TV 4th gen: Photo app does just not for me
Hi all
I have a brand new Apple TV 4th gen 32 GB. The application Photo (photo stream in particular) does everything just for me.
Most of the photos is not synchronized (iCloud icon). What is ironic, is that the 'photo stream' will display the last picture took from my iphone.
It is very annoying because it's the app more interesting to use on a large television screen.
Could you please share your experience with this application?

HI I have 4 th from the 3rd generation gen aptv. I mainly use mine for my works of fantastic music as Iam a subscriber of Apple's music, I normally use the photo as a slide show app while the music plays. However I paid extra monthly void exrra I cloud storage for my 10 k photos, I was disappointed initially only heard photo stream photos photo enforcement and not my 10 k photos, which Canberra played on my iMac iPhone and iPad, but since finding that it did not work to my satisfaction, I did the following. I shared my pictures via I share with myself in cloud and spent a lot of s of time to select and put pictures into Albums or Rome Corfu etc. and shared albums now appear on the aptv. My biggest problem now, it's how many photos is repeated on the slideshow, I know there is a possibility of not repeating the pictures but I find if I select that for some reason any he may play 5-7 photos, then come back to the main menu, curiously this also happens if I use my VAC flckr the same thing happens a few times, he plays a round of photos over and over again and then all of a sudden it changed for a new batch. I can only hope Apple will address this issue later with an update, I would like to see the photos on the aptv app as it appears on my iMac phone etc, I asked this to Apple. Aside from that Iam enjoying this very well compared to the older generation, Yes, I bought plane finder app for my phone that I view somes and today I discovered that I can download to the Aptv very happy but still more happy if the patch on the side of the photos of it.

Not able to install apple tv 4th gen as home hub
Updated to iOS 10 yesterday. I was looking for installation up to the ATV 4th Gen as a home hub, but it is not allowing me. It works very well to set up the ipad pro as the hub, but not the ATV, which is running TVos 10, and Yes 2 verification step is on. Everyone knows about this problem? Apple is aware?
Hello. Have you seen this cannot create Apple TV (4th gen) as Home Hub?

Unable to set up Apple TV (4th gen) as Home Hub
I updated my iPhone to iOS 10 5s yesterday and today I updated my Apple TV (4th gen) to tvOS 10.
But I can't configure my Apple TV as a hub in the home on my iPhone app - the Automation tab in the hub said "Make Apple TV (4th generation) to the center of your House...» ", but offers no possibility to do so.
I found this article:
Automate and remotely to your accessories HomeKit - Apple Support
Who says:
- On your Apple TV, go to settings > accounts > iCloud and make sure your Apple TV shows connected HomeKit.
But there's nothing HomeKit this page of settings on Apple TV. (Yes, my Apple ID has two-factor auth enabled.)
Does anyone have this working? Any tips?
Thank you
Martin
Same question here, but with 6 s iPhone more and iPad 9.7 Pro.
No "HomeKit" option under iCloud as instructions indicate there should be.
Only reference HomeKit that I could find anywhere was under "Privacy", with the only option being "Reset configuration" or something like that. Who comes to HomeKit forget all my devices.
Have activated two-factor authentication, then out of the iCloud, Apple TV, and back in. No luck. Tried to reboot several times, still nothing.
The Apple TV is clear my HomeKit Setup, because the use of the thing "Reset configuration" has had an impact on what I see on my iPhone. So I think this could be a bug in 10 TVOS. Very annoying that it breaks the new Automation features in iOS 10.

Apple TV (4th Gen) and HomeHub
Literature of Apple is a little sparse on the practice of setting up Apple TV (4th Gen) as a Homehub. They say
- On Apple TV (4th generation): implement authentication two factor for your Apple ID. Then go to settings > iCloud and check that you are connected under HomeKit.
That's all. Thing is there is no settings > iCloud and check if your connected. Is there a home App for Apple TV? I'm missing something here.
"
Too bad, that it worked. You must go to your iCloud account and HomeKit appears. It should be activate 2FA then in the AppleTV go to settings > iCloud > your iCloud and home account is displayed.

Help with Apple TV (4th gen) ADCOM receiver.
I'm trying to connect my Apple TV (4th Gen) to my receiver with basic cable AV (sound). I have an Apple TV to TV HDMI. The audio input of the TV, I have the AV cable connected to my output of receivers. I can't understand why the sound is still coming from the television and not sound surround. Thanks for any help!
Note:
My TV is a Sony kdf-e42a10
My receiver is an ADCOM GTP-600
It's a little tricky because of the age of your components.
You should connect the plug the ATV HDMI to TV. You then connect the stereo audio output TV at the input of the receiver. (Your description reversed entry and exit.) You must then turn off the TV speakers in the TV configuration menu and select the right input on the receiver. You get digital surround sound with this Setup, but you could get Logic Pro.

Hello
I noticed that since a few weeks I'm not able to buy a movie more if:
-Set store account never ask for password
-Activate restrictions (set a password) and all buy "limited."
It works with the same configuration perfectly on my Apple TV 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation, where clicking on the buy button you are prompted to enter the password instead of having to enter your iTunes account password every time.
But on the Apple TV 4th gen, once I click the button to buy, I get the circle of rotation and it keeps just there, never ask the password so that the operation never happens.
If I disable the restrictions for the purchase of movies, I can buy the movie (do not ask for an access code and password)
If I put the password on all your purchases, I am also able to buy the film.
But still, if I set the password to "ask always", then enable password, set 'focused' purchases (so I'm in the best situation: should I get the password dialog box when I'm about to buy anything, rather than the full itunes password) it simply doesn't.
I tried: record / stop all accounts (not just the store, but also iCloud, gamecenter, home sharing, etc) - nothing
Also tried to restore the device and set up from scratch: nothing.
Apple TV 4th gen updated to the latest version of the software (tried to update, said: I'm updating)
And again, if I try to do the same thing on Apple TV 1st generation, 2nd generation, 3rd generation, they have all THE work. (Click on buy, get the guest password, enter my 4 digits, in fact)
The thing is that I am convinced that it worked before this nonsense.
I'm in Spain, and my account is linked to the Spanish bank
Any ideas?
I'm afraid that you'll just have to disable restrictions until the problem is resolved.

Netflix App on Apple TV 4th Gen - a lot of headaches
The Netflix App behaves strangely in the last days on my Apple TV 4th generation.
Most of the time it does not open, or says that the title is not available. On my Mac, using the same
connection Internet, Netflix stream like a charm.
In order to solve the problem, I uninstalled the Netflix app from the screen of the Apple TV to live an Odyssey
try to get it to download again.
Of course, it was after to try restarting or make the power cycle, including the disconnection of my router and my tv. The app would only partially download
and then stop the download. When it finally downloaded, it would play only a few episodes of a series of the season.
Some series would be broadcast at all, and a few other titles were available. A message code appeared:
"This is a problem when reading this article. Try again later or select a different element. Go to www.netflix.com/support to learn more
information. Can not play the title. Please try again later. Code:-11853. "Then I called Netflix and after half an hour of consultations in the House
They said that the problem was caused by a recent software upgrade made by Apple and referred me to Apple.
Again, Netflix works perfectly on my Mac, but on my Apple TV 4th generation is a puzzle. All other applications run well on my
Apple TV.
Has anyone else experienced this with their 4th Gen Apple TV? Solutions or suggestions?
Works fine on my system. Check that DNS is set to auto (- general - network settings). If the ethernet wifi, try. Test on another network.

This is not quite correct. Netflix is responsible for the application and all problems associated with, if there is a problem after an update it's because of something they need to fix.

Suggestions to improve playback of music on Apple TV 4th Gen
Finally using my 4th gen Apple TV to play my music via home sharing, but it is a step backwards compared to the 3rd generation.
To do some improvements of the user interface. My suggestions
(1) pull bar progression of track, essential now to pause the track to see how much time is left to play
(2) increase the size of the work. It seems much smaller compared to the old work on 3rd generation
(3) dark mode. The bright screen is hard on the eyes and comes with a darker version, esp when you listen to music in a room dark
(4) an icon to represent when you play music in shuffle mode
(5) maybe a track number indicator, I you are track 6 of 12 in the current album/playlist
all others?
All excellent suggestions. It seems that the interface has been designed to be 'simple' by removing all the information form the display. It should be an option to enable a more descriptive interface for those who want more than the names and cover art.
