South Africa C4 user Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 My dealer tells me that he has updated my Apple TV driver when he was at my house today. I haven’t heard anything on these forums about a new driver,.. Are there any changes? Proper integration would be great... or am I hoping for too much?

anon2828 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Does it resolve play/pause not working in apps? example: play pause works fine when using the native movies or tv app, however if you for example use the NBC Sports app, the play pause button has no effect (does not work at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Try using the select button then for play/pause. Its up to the app developers to implement the proper controls. NBC isn't the only one with this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Theater Advisors Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 It does work for the most part. But there are idiosyncrasies you may run into. Like the Anon2828 did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not specifically tested on it, and there's a disclaimer that it's not desigend for use but it works fine for most scenarios, at least for most video purposes. There's even a knowledge base article about how to set it up as the interface is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you say is correct, but my understanding is that if you are having issues with it, support will not help, as the 4 and 4K are not supported. All of the c4 empoyees on the c4 programmers facebook group say the IP driver isn't supported for the newer apple TVs, everytime it comes up. And they all recommend Jesse's IR driver. So while the IP driver works for now, use at your own risk. I for one do not want to have dozens or more installs with an unsupported driver in them that could be broken at any time.

So stick to the slow driver In the end ANY driver could be broken at any time. Heck, a TV firmware update broke HDBaseT on Samsung TVs.....losing an AppleTV for a day or so MAYBE at SOME point ... I'll take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therockhr Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Any news on the official driver/integration mentioned awhile back? I wonder if Control4 is developing a new voice remote that would work with Siri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With ISE coming up next week, though, the odds are much higher that we may hear about at least something new in the C4 world (Apple TV related or not) very soon.

Not to beat a dead horse, but not sure how "It does work for the most part. But there are idiosyncrasies you may run into." makes it sounds like a 'dead' driver.

Nothing of the sort was announced - Apple announced they were working together with a few companies (of which Control4 was mentioned) to offer some form of integration. What that entails though was and is a complete guess. Not even clear if it was geared to AppleTV or Siri or something else entirely. No-one here I'm sure is against a new driver that is fully supported and maintained by both sides - and it is certainly one of the more obvious things to address, but if this is the case or not... Quote I wonder if Control4 is developing a new voice remote that would work with Siri. I hope not. Developing voice control in a remote seems like a step backwards at this point. Besides, locking into just ONE voice control 'protocol' inside their own devices doesn't seem like a great plan either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that I'm not particular for or against either method - indeed in most setups I actually have an IR hooked up to the AppleTVs and an IR driver in the project anyway. End user only 'sees' the IP driver because it's the one that reacts much better - but the IR driver is there so I can re-sync the IP driver remotely with the client's eyes on-site (or if things truly come apart switch to it). My reason for it being there is NOT because the 'driver doesn't work' - it's because Apple's current number 1 troubleshooting guideline is to restore everything to factory default...
