My AppleTV 4k did an auto update to 14.5...its rendered all 3 of my nimbus controllers useless. Thanks! They are seen by system in Bluetooth and connected. None of the functions/controls work at all now.
So I was able to fix my problem. Here's what I did:
After that I can disconnect the headphones and the controller stays connected. Controller also automatically reconnects after sleeping and waking ATV.
No idea why this worked for me. Hope it helps others with the same problem. Also no idea if this is the fault of Apple or Steelseries, but it needs to be fixed. What's the point of an MFi certification program if the devices don't work as expected?
Agree, sorry. I was on the phone to Apple yesterday and the person said they would forward the report to engineering.
Just tried, worked for me too. Thanks God
I can’t get my apple tv (v14.5) to even see my nimbus+!
all of my ps4 controllers keep disconnected from Apple TV 2021 too. It is so frustrating, i cant play any game with the controllers anymore.
Uhm thanks, but maybe read the other comments first. Only step 5 is needed for a Nimbus+ and then step 7 will happen right away, no need for all the other steps.
Not helpful
How is that not helpful? So everyone has to go through proven unnecessary steps?
Maybe the other steps are needed when it's not a new apple tv and not a new nimbus+ but you didn't specify that.
My ATV couldn’t even see a Bluetooth controller prior to those instructions. Note it’s seen and paired with two devices. I’m done defending myself.
good day
Same here. Sad and disappointing.
Thanks, Paola, that worked for me.
Yep… same thing like everyone else.
Indeed poor testing... new controller nimbus+ new apple tv 4k and it doesn't work frustrating
Tried that doesn't work... in an act of desperation I even deactivated my iPad & clock which has bluetooth to no effect.
That worked, I had an old set of wireless headphones I used for jogging and once they connected the Nimbus showed in the list. Thank for the help.
The solution to the problem!
• Open the bluetooth menu on the ATV
• Put Nimbus controller into bluetooth pairing mode (does not show up in bluetooth menu on ATV)
• Put a pair of bluetooth headphones into pairing mode next to ATV (these DO show up in bluetooth menu)
• Select headphones on ATV and connect to them
• NOW the Nimbus shows up in the menu and I can connect with it. Controller works properly.
Cheers
