Since Apple TV can pair with a universal remote, the siri remote and the new 2021 siri remote that has the dpad on it, we need a way to distinguish between each unique remotes. Are there APIs for getting the details of the remote being used in tvOS? Reason for this is we want to handle separate logics in using the old vs new siri remote.

i want to integrate a interface to controll a Apple TV over my own app but i couldn't find any documentation about that. Can someone give me a hint?

These episodes completely break the way Watch Now works. Are there plans to allow a user to configure the AppleTV app to Ignore these "special episodes" within Watch Now? This seems to be a very simple but VERY impactful change to the way this app functions.

My Apple TV 4K-2 has the developer HUD enabled. I am unable to turn it off wirelessly. The Developer option has disappeared from Settings on the Apple TV so I can't turn off the Developer HUD. Xcode 12.5.1 discovery sees the device and says that it needs to be paired. Apple TV remote App and Devices says that is already paired. I pair it again in XCode. The device shows as paired on the Apple TV, but Xcode still just gives me the "Pair with ..." message. Same thing if I remove the existing pairing and try it again. Did a restart on the Apple TV but it changed nothing. Don't want to do a reset as there are a lot of settings that would be lost.

HI! I am developing a service for fans of movies and TV series. One of the features of the service is to view lists of sources where you can watch the film or series you're interested in. This includes AppleTV. Is it possible to access the AppleTV API with the ability to search for movies by title or by tmdbid or imdbid? For example for "Cars 2" I'd like to get a link https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/cars-2/umc.cmc.4qadx6arnfd0e5la03oodc4j1

Hi, I am trying to implement Sign In with Apple in Apple TV. The moment I click on "Sign In", I get a screen that says "A notification has been sent to nearby devices that are signed in with apple Id". However, when notification arrives in my iPhone, nothing happens on click of notification. In some days before, it worked, I can sign in with my Apple ID when tap on that notification, but now, the notification just disappeared and nothing happened Any suggestion or solution would be of great help. Thanks.

I've paired Apple TVs a lot of times but today I have tried on 2 devices and Xcode Devices and Simulators screen is not showing a device on left side of window, therefore I cannot pair. Help. Using Xcode 12.5.1 and Apple Tv 4Ks are updated to 14.7

The 14.7 update is causing some havoc with my Apple TV 4th Generation Apple TV. And it is driving me crazy!!! Anyone?

I have downloaded movies from iTunes to my iPad. I purchased them and downloaded them directly. When I plug the iPad into my TV via HDMI there is no data consumption at all over the WAN source. When I try to Airplay to an Apple TV 4K latest version, the same movie attempts to stream instead of playing from the local file. I am trying to understand why the Apple TV forces the downloaded movie to stream instead of playing from the local copy on the iPad.
