New iOS upgrade on Macbook Air (A1 chip) no longer allows me to stream Netflix to my Apple TV I can't use my remote for my AppleTV because I only have one iPhone and there is now way to connect the remote app on the iPhone unless you have a second iPhone connected to the network to navigate from. And now when I turn on my AppleTV it shows me a screen promoting AppleTV and their shows for the first 30 seconds before my Screen Sharing from my Macbook Air (A1 chip) connects. It will bring up and pair every site from my Macbook to my AppleTV . . . except for Netflix. Both screens just go black while the audio plays on the TV. Seriously getting very annoyed with Apple these days. Bring back Steve Jobs.

http remote access not working (VLC 3.0.12 on tvOS 15.2) I have been a very happy VLC on Apple TV user for a number of years, most often using the remote playback interface to upload movie files onto the Apple TV for playback. I have just tried to do this again, with the latest version of VLC 3.0.12 for tvOS 15.2, and it no longer works. I am able to launch VLC on the tv and navigate to the Remote Playback screen, where a valid wifi IP (192.168.0.10/5 GHz) is displayed, but when I try to browse this URL on a PC or Mac connected to the same wifi, the browser times out before connecting. I have tried across multiple machines (Windows 10, macOS 12.1) and across multiple browsers for each (Firefox, Chrome, MS Edge, Safari) and the same behaviour occurs - time outs before connecting. I have also tried the alternative URL (http://Living-Room.local) and unsurprisingly this also does not work. Is there a setting hidden away in tvOS 15.2 that I need to tweak to allow http (not https) URLs to connect? Or is this a standing issue with web connections or with VLC 3.0.12 in particular?
