caradoc 0 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 This particular AppleTV is used specifically for a spectrum kid, and it'd be really nice to reduce the screen clutter by hiding or disabling "Next Up" for her user account, and save the extra navigation to get past that row of never-used icons.

Happy2Play 8242 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Have you looked at User Home Screen settings? Settting-Home Screen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iaincaradoc2 0 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Yes, we've looked there. Server version is 4.7.3.0, AppleTV app is 1.5.9 (0). There's no toggle to simply turn off the "Next Up" display row that we've been able to find anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3269 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Not using AppleTV, but assuming it behaves as other client apps: do it in WebUI, Settings>Home Screen as suggested by @Happy2Play, remove "Next Up" section (so you'll get combined "Continue Watching" row) and AppleTV will inherit that selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but Apple TV requires an app restart to refresh the home screen settings (section visibility changes) Edited June 22, 2022 by vdatanet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iaincaradoc2 0 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 That removes it from the Home Screen. "Next Up" is still showing once any given TV Show or Series is selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3269 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 There is no option to remove "Next Up" row from Series level. Server version 4.7+ did remove it in several client apps, guess AppleTV still hasn't caught up. As a sidenote, interesting how ppl find its usage differently, I was VERY irked that that row got removed from Web App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iaincaradoc2 0 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Understandable. I prefer having "Next Up" on my account and devices, but for kids on the autism spectrum (like my daughter) it's just a whole lot easier to remove options that confuse them and force them to scroll or click any more than absolutely necessary.

I can only assume that eventually it will be removed from AppleTV app, in line with other client apps - unfortunately it'll remove it for your account, as well.

Iaincaradoc2 0 Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Well... I'm pretty sure I can tolerate it being removed from my stuff better than the kiddo can deal with having it stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
