Apple Seeds First Beta of tvOS 15.1 to Developers

Following the release of the tvOS 15 update yesterday, Apple has seeded the first beta of tvOS 15.1 to developers.

Apple TV tvOS 15 Feature
Developers can download the new tvOS 15 beta by downloading a profile onto the ‌Apple TV‌ using Xcode.

Other than new releases, tvOS updates are often minor in scale, focusing on under-the-hood bug fixes and improvements rather than major outward-facing changes. There's no word yet on what's included in tvOS 15.1 update, but we'll update this article should anything new be found.

Apologies that this isn't part of tvOS, but I can't believe Apple is sticking with its new onscreen-menu design for the :apple:TV app, with captioning and audio options popping up adjacent to the timeline instead of dropping down from the top. It's impossible to navigate between using the menu and scrubbing—plus we really don't want a different GUI than every other app's. Give it up, Apple.

It’s funny, because people spend more time on Apple TV than all the other Apple products combined yet it gets the least attention. There’s SO much they could do with the interface, imagine it zooms out from whatever your watching to show a live version of all moving channels then you could hover over each to zoom in a little to het audio the zoom all the way in when you select it… stuff like that. It could be so awesome and it stead it’s so boring.
