My AppleTV 4K "Siri" Bluetooth remote forwards the configured 30s/click and backs up 7s/click on Channels Plus viewing app as it should. That touch screen remote, however, requires considerable focus to use so I prefer a Channelmaster CM7000 Apple compatible remote. Its fast forward and reverse behave as is to be expected on Netflix, Prime, and other apps, but erratically on CP. There's no indication of how far its forwarding or reversing and it often doesn't unless I'm careful to tap the key very, very quickly. The CM remote is IR rather than BT. It's sending NEC codes on those keys followed by almost instantaneous 0xFFFF repeat frames unless I'm careful to tap that key very rapidly. An old IR-based AppleTV remote sends a different code on that key but requires a long keypress to send a repeat, so it works perfectly. Do you have the ability to ignore consecutive repeat frames? NEC IR code has no other end-of-frame indication, so some timing assumptions are probably required.
You can go into the atv remote settings and turn off the touch pad function and it will just use directional tap. This makes the remote far less touchy and for some a more pleasant experience with the native atv remote.
Yes that was the first thing I did with mine. Did away with the touch feature. Cool idea but seemed too cool for the ease of use.
Thanks! I know I've been there before, but maybe my A1962 remote is too old? With tvOS 16.0 (20J373] and remote f/w 0x118, the only choices available for touch surface tracking are fast, medium, and slow. There doesn't seem to be a down tactile key either.
I see that is the older remote. I don't think you can turn that off.
I believe both of us were referring to this remote. I have never used the 1st gen remote.
Resolved by purchasing the newest Apple remote which can turn off the nuisance touchpad. Consider it a strike against the ChannelMaster.
Nice hope you like it. Also if you don't like how thin it is. There is a case for the remote. I got it about a week ago and really like it. It even has magnets in it. If you had something metal to attach to. But the case it cheap. $11 Also I removed the lanyard. I have yet to throw my remote at the TV lmao.
