I like to use the top shelf to quickly access most recent recordings when first turning on my Apple TV. Problem is that the top shelf currently keeps disappearing. It will show back up randomly like it did this morning but then after opening and closing the app a few times it will disappear again. Is there a setting I may have wrong to cause this? I know top shelf used to work perfectly about a year ago but has since been buggy on me.
Similar findings here but I only started seeing Top Shelf items appear randomly in the last week or so. Prior to that I did not have any luck with Top Shelf.
Apple TV 4k (tvOS 18.4.1) & Channels Beta
It seems to break if you have a lot of channels. But recently it started working for me randomly too, and shows Up Next entries atleast.
@Fofer did it change for you in the last week?
Nothing's changed for me in this regard. No matter what I try, nothing shows in the Top Shelf for Channels, whether "Up Next in Top Shelf" is enabled or not. I'd be happy if I could just see what's playing now on favorite channels there, but it's been empty for quite a long time now.
AppleTV 4k (tvOS 18.5) & latest Channels TestFlight
Heres another data point. Im still on tvos 18.3, but have using recent test flight betas.
I have been seeing the top shelf working fine with or without up next…..
I just updated the testflight beta to the latest update, and so far im still seeing perfect performance with top shelf with latest testflight beta.
Ill report back if i notice top shelf flakiness with tvos 18.3.. at some point Ill update my apple tv 4k 2nd gen, to 18.5, but ive been holding off for other reasons.
Plex changed their client UI and its horrendous, so ive stopped any updates on my ios and apple tvs to avoid this..
