Q: Apple TV Gen 4 - Siri and Music

I thought there was an advertisement that enabled music search through Siri?

That is the main reason I bought one.... Hope there is an update coming!

    Hello there, Harvey.

     

    It sounds like you may not be in a region where Siri may not be currently available for use with your Apple TV (4th generation). The following Knowledge Base article provides more information in regards to using Siri:

     

    Use Siri on your Apple TV (4th generation) 

     

    Here's where you can use Siri

    Siri is currently available on Apple TV (4th generation) in these languages and countries: English (Australia, Canada, UK, US), German (Germany), French (France), Spanish (Spain), Japanese (Japan).*

    {...}

    *Siri availability varies by country and language. Apple TV (4th generation) ships with the same remote everywhere. In countries and regions that support Siri, the remote is called Siri Remote. Elsewhere, it’s called Apple TV Remote. Siri works on either remote as long as your Apple TV (4th generation) is set up with a language and country 
    that supports Siri.

     

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

     

    Cheers.

    Thanks for the response. Siri does work for other areas like the weather. Message given when a music search is done - "Sorry I can't help you with music"

    Hello again, Harvey.

     

    Thanks for the follow up and additional clarification on the issue you're experiencing with Siri. The following article provides a bit more information in that regard:

    About search

    • You can use the Search app to find Apps in the App Store. Siri doesn't search for apps in the App Store.
    • At this time, the Search app and Siri don't search music.
    • The Search app and Siri don't search Home Shared libraries.
