Can't run Channels

FathaMike · February 28, 2025, 10:30pm

Been running DVR server on M4 Mac mini for a couple of months with no problems. Today, screen says “Preparing your TV”, then quits. Same thing happens on iPad. But on the admin page I can watch a program from Library/Up Next.

Yesterday when it happened I rebooted Apple TV and that seemed to fix it.

Today I’ve rebooted Mac mini, rebooted Apple TV, restarted the app, etc. No change. Can I reinstall Channels DVR somehow?

Search the App Store for channels and install the update shown

For iPad, you mean?

Wherever it is crashing. Your tvOS is running 18.4 which is a beta. You need Channels 6.2.1 to work with that beta.
