Apple TV2 4.4.3 bug with TV Show Artwork

After the latest updat to 4.4.3 my Apple TV2 no longer show episode artwork for shows. I have a large collection of TV Shows I converted from my DVDs and have individual screen shots for each episode. In the main list it chooses one episode and the artwork from it repsresents the show for that season. However up to this latest version, when you went into the season and scrolled Episode by Episode the artwork would change with the description. Now that no longer works. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Thanks.

Sadly I just discovered this same issue with individual tv show artwork no longer displaying on my Apple TV2 after updating to 4.4.3 just a day and a half ago. I was so happy when (around 4.x) they finally had gotten Apple TV2 to display individual artwork for each of the tv shows I had applied it to... now its no longer working again. Sigh. And optical audio still keeps cutting out / dropping completely with both version 4.4.2 and 4.4.3. Hopefully BOTH of these issues can be fixed quickly with a new software update release.

Can I make apple tv2 work on an HDTV with component connections using an HDMI to component converter?

I bought an apple tv2 and hooked it up through an HDMI to component converter then to my HDTV as it does not have an HDMI connection. When I turned it on, I got the start up screen x3. Three of the start up screen all across the display. Is there any way to make it work? Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'd strat by restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds. It may however be the converter, compliant converters won't let you watch HDCP protected content and probably won't support scaling either.

Apple - PLEASE fix the graphical bug with Dock and Stacks! PLEASE!

Using popular Mac games such as Diablo II, Freeverse's Wingnuts, Ambrosia's Aperion, and Blitwise's Super DX-Ball (as well as a LOT more) results in a common graphical glitch with the Dock and stacks, making fan stacks totally useless until I restart my iMac. Killing and relaunching the Dock doesn't fix it. Only restarting my Mac temporarily sorts it out. This is a highly annoying bug most often set off by games that Apple STILL hasn't fixed as of 10.5.3. So I let every developer (who I do not blame, BTW) know whose product results in this bug, in the hope they will apply pressure to Apple. Leopard has been the buggiest release since 10.1 IME and Apple is taking there sweet time about crushing such crippling bugs. Suffice to say it's really ******* me off.
Here is a screenshot from another 24" iMac afflicted by this bug after running a game:

Notice the open stack is just grey bars. The icons and names are not
showing.

Apple TV2 is not working property

Hi Guys.
I have just two weeks with my apple TV 2 and it drives me crazy.
I have my apple TV2 connected via wi-fi with a Base Station Apple Router. When I'm trying to watch some movies (HD) it worked perfect but in many cases it doesn't, and some, times gives me an error that suggest that I have to try to connect to my Mac later.
I made all the updates: for my Itunes, my Mac, the Base Station and the Apple TV2. Other thing that I tried was connect my Apple TV directly to my Base Station and nothing.
Can anybody tell me what to do? Is there a specific configuration that could be recommended for de Base Station and de AppTV2?
Regards,

Ok... this is the answer for the moment!!!
Everyone has the same problem as I do. The only way I found to solve it was to restart my "Base Station" router and then remake the wireless router connection with the Apple TV 2.
It's a shame, but in my case it worked. I guess that would be the procedure from de moment until APPLE make some important update to the software of the APPLE tv.

Slideshow bug in 4.2.1 when pushed using AirPlay to Apple TV2

Anyone else found this bug?
(after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1 and Apple TV 4.1)
If you enable a Photos slideshow on the iPhone and change the custom transitions/photo lengths, everything plays fine on the iPhone 4 as expected. However, now that you can stream to the Apple TV2 using AirPlay, there is a bug in the 4.2.1 software. If you start your Photos slideshow on your iPhone, then press the airplay icon (top right of the screen), it streams your slideshow to Apple TV2. Great news! However, the issue is that the pushed slideshow only shows photos using the dissolve transition with 2 second intervals between photos, regardless of your user defined slideshow options. As soon as you disable the AirPlay and go back to the slideshow on your iPhone, it plays fine using your custom settings.
Am I crazy, or is anyone else finding this using the iOS and Apple TV2 updates today???

I have an ipad running ios 4.2 and my slideshow only does the shuffle with repeat and either 2 or 3 second (not sure which one it is) show time. Rebooted, changed the settings, etc. But still stuck with those settings when running the slideshow.

Apple TV2 with B

I have a pair of B&W MM-1 connected directly to my Samsung TV. Now I am considering buying an Apple TV2, but I cannot figure out the right way to connect my MM-1s.
What is the appropriate way to connect them if I:
Still want to be able to use the MM-1s together with my TV.
Want to use the Apple TV2 for playing music through my MM-1s using airplay without turning my TV on.
Do not want to move cables around all the time.
Can I somehow take advantage of the USB-port in the speakers?

Airplay on iPad has just stopped working with Apple TV2

As of today, Airplay on my iPad with Apps that were working (eg TED, ABC iView) transmitting video and sound to Apple TV2 has ceased working. When the Airplay logo on the iPad app is pressed it remains white, not changing to blue as it normally does.

Thanks for tip. Rebooting iPad fixed it. Apple TV seems very sensitive to connection issues. I have normally have no issues with my iMac, iPod, iPad, and Airport Express connections

Apple TV2 Sound problem with LG PLasma TV model42PG60UD

Hi
I Purchased an Apple TV2 last week and have been unable to get sound on my LG PLasma TV Model # 42PG60UD and need help. There is sometimes a little static noise. The actions I have taken so far to resolve are
Tried Apple TV in 4 different HDMI slots on TV
Confirmed cable I was using was OK by testing with DVD Player, DVD recorder, X Box, WII. Sound and picture OK on all
Tried 2 other HDMI cables with same results as above
Unplugged everything so only Apple TV was plugged in to television.
Altered audio settings in Apple TV and television as per other discussions on this subject. Dolby on/off/auto. 16 Bit. Dolby or PCM on television.
Confirmed Apple TV2 OK by testing on another television.
Tried using optical digital cable from Apple TV to television.
Apple tech called me to run through and could not solve and suggested i return the unit.
The unit works well. Can play video, view youtube, watch trailers, watch photo slideshows from Itunes etc just cannot hear anything.
Any comments appreciated on settings, configuration etc
Regards

It may be an incompatibility with the TV - as the tech suggested if it's only 2 weeks old try another.

IPhoto with Apple TV2 on HDTV?

IPHOTO is organized but can it be seen in the same organized way with Apple TV2-HDMI to HDTV?

Just open up iTunes on the mac with the photos you'd like to see on ATV2. Click on the "Advanced" menu, then on "Choose Photos to Share...". From there you will be taken to a menu where you can select which albums you'd like to appear on ATV2.

Are all tv's with hdmi inputs compatible with Apple TV2?

I am considering purchasing a new TV. My older model Sony TV, even though it has an HDMI input, is not compatible with Apple TV. Do I have to take my Apple TV to Best Buy and plug it into every TV I look at to determine if they are compatible? Does Apple publish a list of compatible TV's?

I receive an errror message telling me that my HDMI connection is not HDCP compatible. I contacted Apple Support, visited my local Apple Store (with my Apple TV2), and bought new cables...nothing works. I cannot watch Netflix or stream movies I have purchased from my iMac onto my TV. Very frustrating.

Is the Apple TV2 compatible with the video processing unit DVDO edge

Does anyone have experience with the DVDO Edge video processor http://www.anchorbaytech.com/docs/pdf/DVDOEDGEDatasheet.pdf
Is it compatible with the Apple TV2?
I would like to correct the aspect ratio problem that I have when displaying the Apple TV2 image on a 4:3 high resolution LCD projetcor.

I have had no problems with the ATV2 and my Edge, or any other HDMI source and the Edge.

After applying update my apple tv2 will randomly go to a black screen that lasts for a few seconds. When it gets back to normal after a few seconds it acts like the video never stopped since its farther along in the timeline. This happens with all video content wether its from Netflix or streaming from my iTunes library

You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for a 30 seconds. If that doesn't help try using another HDMI cable.

Home Sharing with Apple TV2 Broken After 4.2 Update

It looks like I have some company with at least similar issues. This is very frustrating and support was no help.
ATV 2 worked just great with Windows 7 64-bit and iTunes library until the 4.2 update was loaded. Now ATV 2 keeps telling me to turn on home sharing on a computer but it's already on and iTunes is running, I'm using iTunes 10.2.1.1 and Apple TV2 with latest update 4.2 (2060) and connection over WIFI. Home Sharing is enabled on my computer and ATV2 using the same Apple ID and password. I can get to YouTube and the iTunes store from my ATV 2 without issue.
I've attempted many solutions from what I could find online but no luck:
1. Turned off/on home sharing on both the Apple TV 2 and in iTunes (multiple times)
2. Re-entered my Apple ID and password on both ATV 2 / iTunes
3. Restarted iTunes and ATV 2
4. Restarted the DSL modem/router (ZyXEL PK5000z)
5. Turned the firewall completely off (Norton Internet Security - firewall is off in router)
6. Restored ATV 2 over WIFI
7. Reinstalled iTunes
8. Changed my Apple ID and password then reset in iTunes and ATV 2
9. Renamed my itunes library
10. Disabled QoS upstream/downstream protocol in my DSL modem/router
11. Restored ATV 2 through USB connection in iTunes. This worked for a few minutes but after I turned off ATV 2 and later tried again it was back to it not working...
Any other ideas?

Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

How manage to get my apple TV2 working with a nas like buffalo live with iTunes server?

how manage to get my apple TV2 working with a nas like buffalo...

ATV2 should browse shared iTunes libraries in the same network.
Problem started when ATV only supports Apple home sharing.
I agree it would be nice if it worked with these NAS based iTunes servers but it doesn't, so if that's a necessity you would be better off looking at a media player from someone else and not purchasing DRM protected incompatible content from iTunes.
AppleTv 1 did not use home sharing and it didn't work with NAS itunes either.
We really need an Apple branded NAS that could home share, either that or they need to license the technology to 3rd parties, but frankly I can't see either happening.
Running a computer 24/7 is not ideal and one area where AppleTV1 was better in that you could store content on it's internal drive.
