Q: Siri always wants to play music!

Siri always wants to play music even when I am looking for movies or TV shows. And since I have lots of movie and TV soundtracks, she always seems to find something in my iCloud library to play instead of bringing up what I want to watch.


How do I tell Siri to search for a movie or TV show and NOT look through my music library?

    Search for movies and TV shows in multiple apps at once

    Use Siri (in select countries) or the Search app to look for movies and shows across apps on your Apple TV (4th generation). You can search by title, genre, actor, and more. With Siri, you can also refine your search as you go.

    When you look for content with Siri or the Search app, Apple TV checks these content providers, with more coming soon:

    • United States: Movies and TV shows in iTunes, HBO GO, HBO NOW, Hulu, Netflix, PBS, PBS Kids, SHOWTIME, SHOWTIME Anytime
    • Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and United Kingdom: Movies and TV shows available on the iTunes Store and Netflix
    • Other countries and regions: Movies in iTunes

    To look for content in one app at a time, just open the app and use its own search function.
