As far as we know it will do, but we won't know for sure until it's released and we can do some testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopedogg88 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I've used the Intrinsic driver at several client sites - have emailed them a few times regarding tvOS 15 support, no response. So I'm guessing they are having difficulty making the driver work or something. Unfortunately that doesn't help me or all of my clients who are calling/texting me asking why their Apple TV control is broken and asking for a refund...

Can you advise your email address or which email address you've been trying to reach us on? We reply to all emails and support tickets so either our reply is going to your junk mail folder or you're emailing an incorrect email address for us. As per the email sent out to all our dealers at the end of August, tvOS 15 uses a different protocol so requires a completely new driver, and we therefore advised dealers to tell customers to remain on tvOS 14 or below to ensure control continued uninterrupted using our tvOS13/14 driver. If you didn't receive this email it's likely you either opted out of emails from us or it was delivered to your junk mail folder, again, if you can provide your email address I can double check this. Our tvOS15 driver will hopefully be rolled out to our beta testers this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per DM have sent you an email. I've checked with our Support Team and they did receive your email but as it was a gmail email address with no company name given they wrongly assumed you were an end user and therefore not eligible to beta test - apologies for that error. Just to confirm, it's always best to submit a support ticket on our website and not email us. If you email with a support query you will be asked to submit a ticket before we can address it. Our support platform ensures our full Support Team have access to the full audit trail and all the details they need to assist you. It also ensures the query is received as you get an email to confirm we've received the ticket (which was the issue in the last case). Hope that helps!

Amr Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Am just dropping after a month now, are we ever going to see the new tvOS 15.1 driver or we go else where? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crustyloafer Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Just use Jesse Smith’s awesome IR driver and issues like this just won’t happen. I’m a big fan of IP control whenever possible but there are some products I just wouldn’t trust it to not get broken and this is one of them.

Cyknight Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Agreed. Nothing against the developer, but Apple is just one of those companies that are historically too experimental in their APIs and software for something like this to be reliable. And without mini apps as an option (or even a Roku style channel option for app launching) there's just no real value in the IP drivers (this one or C4's own) vs IR drivers beyond a hard to perceive faster reaction to up/down/left/right I like getting rid of the clutter or IR wires too - but I like not getting phone calls on things like a source control not reacting even more The only time I get a call on an AppleTV not reacting to commands is when a client buys a replacement ATV and the IR location on the AppleTV has been moved again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furthermore, I seem to remember reading that the TV button was IP only and never had an IR code. These missing features made IR control impossible for us as those features get used very frequently.

Is this still the case? I'm not super familiar with some of the detail settings as I don't use an ATV personally (and thus also can't test right this moment) but I believe those two functions are in the driver, under guide and info (maybe * or # - again can't check right this moment) If they're in fact not there - then yes perhaps an IP driver is needed. But if the IP driver constantly requires 'work' or some sort ... well than to me it becomes a limitation of the device. Like I said, I PREFER IP over IR as a blank statement - provided it's a consistently WORKING driver. If it doesn't then I'd look at alternative devices or setups for the function desired, vs trying to make a device work for the desired function (just as an example, if you want 3 users for an appletv at each of 10 TVs, it may make more sense to have 3 apple TVs centrally with a switch and they're named after the user). In an ideal world this isn't required of course...but unless you find the portal to that world jimbones and jmb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I went back to the Apple remote, not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
