BillOatman 263 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Can anyone verify if CC works [well] with the Apple TV client for both live TV as well as recordings. I have a hard of hearing friend who is heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem including Apple TV, and want to know if I can suggest this to her yet or not. Thanks!

BillOatman 263 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 Thanks, I knew that much, which is why I'm asking if it works now or not for this specific client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillOatman 263 Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 In case anyone else is interested, I found someone outside of here that uses Apple TV with Emby and he said CC does work in the beta client. So presumably it will be available in the next client release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelqwe 188 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I use the beta client on my Apple TV, and I do not have CC on live channels or recordings. I have to use CCExtractor on recordings to get subtitles extracted from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillOatman 263 Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 OK now I'm confused again. Thanks for the input. I'll double back with the other person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution BillOatman 263 Posted July 7, 2019 Author Solution Share Posted July 7, 2019 Thanks @@samuelqwe . The other person thought subtitles and CC were the same thing. So the answer seems to me that AppleTV client does not support CC yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelqwe 188 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 No problem. AFAIK the only platform with CC support is Android TV/Fire TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillOatman 263 Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 No problem. AFAIK the only platform with CC support is Android TV/Fire TV. Yeah I have a Shield and it worked fantastic when I tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
