When I began the new season of a show I was watching on Netflix, an audio description of the show suddenly started playing. I have searched high and low trying to figure out if it was AppleTV, Netflix, my remote (Harmony), or my TV (a Sharp Aquos) that suddenly decided I needed that feature. So far, no luck. Does anyone have a solution?
Incorrect, but thanks for playing. This is not a subtitles issue - this is an audible, audio description issue. I can't even find where I would turn such a thing on, and searching online about audio descriptions suggest that Netflix doesn't even offer such a feature. It seems like perhaps this is something Netflix is close to rolling out, but the Apple TV software can't reflect its availability yet, so these glitches are occurring. My issue doesn't occur every show I watch either; it's temperamental.
Just talked to Netflix customer support. Looks like it's a Netflix issue, not an Apple TV issue. And it didn't sound like they were aware of it so they were reporting it to their tech team who was checking it out. Sorry, not really a fix but at least they're aware of it.
I Figured out how to turn it off. Push the up arrow when the show is playing then hit select. It will be on subtitle. Push the Up arrow and then arrow over to the right to audio. arrow to the bottom English selection. Hit enter and the audio narration will turn off.
I have been having this issue with a couple movies that I bought through itunes. By pressing and holding the OK button down on the remote it brings up a screen where you can look at chapters in the movie. At the top there is a list for Chapters, subtitles, Audio and Speakers. I checked subtitles and they were already off. I then chose audio and there were two options for English.The one selected was English (United States) AD, where as the other option English (United States) was not selected. I selected English (United States) and this has fix the vocal narration problem I was having with this movie.
you can turn off the audio description using your apple remote. While the movie is playing, press the upper arrow button, a screen will appear, hold down select button, then scroll over to audio and select "English"o
OK i figured it out. If you are watching Netflix on your Apple TV, during the episode or whatever you're watching...press the ENTER key once to pause the tv. The Circle in between up, down, left, right. Then HOLD DOWN the center button for one second and a subtitles box will appear. You'll see Subtitles, Audio, Speakers. Select by pressing UP and RIGHT to the AUDIO section. There, it should say English and English - Audio Description. If Audio Description is selected, simply toggle to Audio>English...Press Enter. Problem is solved. No idea why this started happening all of a sudden but this will correct it.
Select show>Pause show with circle/enter/pause/select button> Hold down the same button for One second while show is paused>New Window appears>Toggle to Audio>Select English (it will be set to English Audio Description) if you're having this issue>Press enter button again on English (no audio description) and you'll be set.
This solution worked for me, held the center button down on Apple TV remote, then "subtitles" "Audio" options popped up, and sure enough under Audio, English- Audio Description was turned on, to fix the issue I just clicked on English.
Powerful new capabilities come to Apple Vision Pro just months after its U.S. release, including a new way to turn favorite photos into spatial photos, new gestures for navigating visionOS, and more ways for developers to take advantage of spatial computing
CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA Apple today previewed visionOS 2, a major update to Apple Vision Pro that introduces a powerful way for users to create spatial photos with the images already in their library, intuitive hand gestures to easily access important information at a glance, and new features for Mac Virtual Display, Travel Mode, and Guest User. Vision Pro users can quickly and easily find their favorite spatial photos in the redesigned Photos app, manage information across all of their accounts with the new Passwords app, access new privacy tools in Safari, and experience new capabilities in popular apps, including Apple TV and Mindfulness.
With more than 2,000 spatial apps designed for Apple Vision Pro, and more than 1.5 million compatible iOS and iPadOS apps, visionOS 2 enables developers to take further advantage of spatial computing with new tools, and makes it easier to create all-new app experiences that are more volumetric and shareable.
Capturing spatial videos on Apple Vision Pro and iPhone 15 Pro allows users to bring special moments to life and relive them as though they are back in the moment. Later this year, Canon will offer a brand-new spatial lens for its popular EOS R7 digital camera to capture gorgeous spatial video, even in challenging lighting conditions. An update to Final Cut Pro will enable creators to edit spatial videos on their Mac and add immersive titles and effects to their projects, and with the Vimeo app designed for Vision Pro, users will be able to upload and share spatial videos for others to discover and enjoy.
visionOS introduced a revolutionary spatial interface that users control with just their eyes, hands, and voice. visionOS 2 makes navigating Apple Vision Pro faster and easier for users to access key functions with new hand gestures to get to frequently used features like Home View and Control Center. New gestures allow users to see important information at a glance, like the current time and battery level, and perform actions like adjusting the volume.
Key Apple Vision Pro experiences have been enhanced in visionOS 2. Users can now personalize their Home View by rearranging apps and placing them wherever they want, including their compatible iPhone and iPad apps. Travel Mode adds support for trains, so travelers can experience their favorite apps on the go and even dial in an Environment like Bora Bora to transform their physical surroundings. For those moments when a user wants to share their Vision Pro, a family member or colleague can be added as a Guest User and have their eye and hand data saved for 30 days.
Developers have already built amazing app experiences for Apple Vision Pro that take advantage of the unique capabilities of spatial computing across a wide array of categories. visionOS 2 includes new APIs and frameworks that help developers take their apps even further by making it easier to create apps and games that are more volumetric and introduce new shareable experiences. HealthKit also comes to Vision Pro, giving developers new ways to create innovative health and fitness experiences that take advantage of the infinite canvas in visionOS.
1640 LLC, developer of the app The Museum That Never Was, is using new volumetric APIs in visionOS 2 to make it easier to add more immersive 3D objects to its app and new ways for users to interact with their content. New tools like TabletopKit enable developers to quickly build shared and collaborative app experiences centered around a table, like board games or a manufacturing workstation. GRL Games is using TabletopKit to create Haunted Chess, a murder mystery board game where players use 3D chess pieces and holographic cards to help solve the mystery. These apps work great with spatial Persona for shared experiences never before possible.
Enterprise developers are already building world-class visionOS apps for everything from training and simulation to project design and management. New tools in visionOS 2 enable developers to extend capabilities in the healthcare, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and other industries. Developers including Scandit AG and TeamViewer are using new APIs like Barcode Scanning and Object Tracking to help organizations further improve day-to-day operations.
Apple Immersive Video is a storytelling format that leverages 3D 8K video with a 180-degree field of view and Spatial Audio to transport viewers to the center of the action. The Apple TV app is home to a growing slate of Apple Immersive films and series, including Adventure from Apple TV+ and Alicia Keys: Rehearsal Room. Later this year, Blackmagic Design will launch the first-ever commercially available camera system, and an update to its post-production software DaVinci Resolve Studio, to support Apple Immersive Video, giving professional filmmakers around the world tools to create remarkable stories with this ultra-immersive storytelling format.
