Disk full error while watching live tv

[Ahwman]

Thanks for the advise Eric. That said, I will try to delete some apps before doing the nuclear option. The biggest nightmare of rebuilding an Apple TV is signing into all of the apps again. If I was certain it would fix the issue, I would most certainly do it. For now, I’ll try to free up some space. I’ve also set up an automation to power cycle my ATV every morning as a just in case…

@_Mike I don't see any diagnostics from you.

You're right - It was later in the evening and I didn't feel like dealing with it. Next time it happens, I will submit logs and let you know.

@eric Happening again tonight. Diagnostics submitted.

@_Mike it doesn't appear you're running the TestFlight beta.

Your Apple TV only has 84MB free. You'll need to free up more disk space to be able to have anything work:

@eric

When we've seen issues like this, sometimes it has worked to delete some apps on your system (in System Settings go to General -> Manage Storage). Other times it's required doing a System -> Reset on the device to completely wipe the disk and start over.

You can join our TestFlight beta program by visiting Channels — Beta Program from an iPhone or iPad and then downloading the TestFlight app on your Apple TV.

If you do not have an iPhone or iPad please email your Apple ID email address to [email protected] and we can add you.
