AppleTV doesn't show storage use

Post by paulbates »

I've had my HDHomeRun since last November. I set up the DVR service on a Windows 11 home workstation at that time and it works. I've used the DVR with the HDHR app on a firestick and an iPad Pro. In both those cases, going to settings and devices shows the HDHR device and HDHR Storage with the percentage storage used.

I got an AppleTV 4k and installed the app. It works very well, with the exception of the percentage of storage used doesn't show. The 2 devices are there but the right side of the storage bar is blank/blue color of the bar.

I can get that info from the ipad so its not urgent, but I'll be using the AppleTV more now, wondering if its a problem for anyone else.

It just hasn't been added yet. The Apple TV version of the app is basically a recreation of the normal app, because Apple won't let us use our normal UI (web-based) on tvOS. All of the features on Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, etc, have to be recreated for Apple TV (and Roku).

Thanks Ned

I appreciate that the app is so consistent across platforms. How the app otherwise works on AppleTV is a better experience than on firestick or windows. About the same as on iPadOS. Apple TV renders 720p shows on my Samsung TV better, using the whole screen.

Great job on that consistency!
