It’s not just the AppleTV app that loads your library slow. My local share using Home Sharing loads painfully slow as well. I’m almost to the point of switching my local library over to Plex, but I just don’t want to deal with the artwork changes. All of my files use  Apple’s 16x9 image. Plex uses the old movie poster style for artwork. 

This. If one was paranoid, one might think it deliberate it is so unApple like in usability. Maybe apple wants you to us its cloud storage and ATV for movies and shows.

the other thing is that getting home video onto iOS is pretty painful. You airdrop a video to an iPad and try and getting it in the AppleTv app. It default goes to photos.

I have a mixture of both local media and iTunes cloud based media. I was using Finder to sync media to iPads. I’m now using Waltr Pro to sync it. As for the TV app on the AppleTV, it’s my hope that they integrate local media and cloud media in the TV app on the AppleTV, similar to how it’s done on Mac OS.

It’s not just a HomeKit Secure Video bug, it’s a HomeKit camera bug. My Nest Hello (connected using Starling Home Hub) has the same thumbnail issue as my native HKSV Eufy cameras.

I’ve enabled this, but I’m not clear on what I should do with it next. 

Go to the Home app, then Home Settings, and then tap on Wi-Fi Network & Routers. It’ll show you your connected routers and all devices/hubs that are connected to HomeKit. You can enable HomeKit Accessory Security and choose what level of security you want for each device/hub. For example, I bought a cheap HomeKit enabled smart switch from eBay. I absolutely do not trust the manufacturer (if there even is one), so I chose “restrict to home”. The switch itself doesn’t need access outside of my local network in order to work in the Home app.

For me, it’s more like a notifications issue, not just a messages notification issue. I’ll miss notifications from multiple apps. Text messages, Outlook e-mail notifications, game notifications, etc. Nothing will alert me on my Apple Watch. Nothing alerts me on my phone. I will just pick up my phone and there will be a bunch of notification banners on there with no alerts whatsoever. Did a complete wipe of my iPhone 12 Pro last weekend and started from scratch. That didn’t solve the issue. Decided then to install the beta profile and installed iOS 14.3 RC. That still didn’t solve the issue.
