There isn’t! (at least not compatible with my hardware) …
I have to live with the fact I have had to turn off all updates and my Apple TV 4 is as useful as a door stop now… please for the love of God stop rubbing it in!
I thought the 4th Gen Apple TV (aka “Apple TV 4” aka “Apple TV HD”) is compatible with tvOS 14. Also… based on all information I can find, support of Plex on tvOS goes back to tvOS 12 (in case you cannot or don’t want to update your Apple TV).
Therefore not sure how your Apple TV is holding you back from updating your server…
Server cannot be updated… apple TV updates cannot be turned off… it updated so now it doesn’t connect to any of my servers (all at 15.1 the last version that works on my hardware)… so the Apple TV is as useless as a brick is for streaming as it was purchased solely for running plex. Fortunately (for the moment, after a support call to Roku) my Rokus have not updated or I’d be throwing the lot in the bin. (iphone and ipad updates also disabled.)
While this is apparently too late for you… you can disable automatic app updates for tvOS apps (so maybe as a heads up to everybody who’s getting into a similar catch as michellesullivan):
- navigate to
Settings>Apps - click on
Automatically Update Appsuntil the value next to is showingOff
you know I wrote my own OS… but I didn’t find this … will check it exists because I went through every setting and did not find it… however, that’s a diversion… the ‘server update available’ is the rubbing it in I now have a $300 brick…!
No diversion… I was just answering to a different part of your post.
It’s unlikely Plex will remove the update prompts. While you consider it a nag others might still appreciate to be reminded that they’re running an outdated platform that is no longer supported (by Plex, from your previous posts also by BSD) as this could well result in a security concern. Before writing off your streaming devices you can get a new NUC for the same money and solve the source of your update misery – but that’s just my 2 ct and I certainly don’t intend to re-open the discussions you’ve had with others earlier on this matter.
No known security issues here - unless of course Plex 15.1 has any issues…?
The FBSD 9.3 compatibility layer might of course, but as that’s in a jail just for Plex that is un touchable unless Plex is hacked.
… 4 Rokus to throw away (or find an alternative to Plex of course) and an Apple TV 4 comes no where near to the cost of 96T of storage so I think I’d not replace that… Id stick in an old Mac Mini to do the front end, but they don’t have fibre or dual network connections…
…and no not much point in re-opening one of the old threads it was pretty clear someone was clueless in previous discussions when they suggested that using the compat9x compatibility layer to enable running at 11.x version on top of my kernel would solve it… VERY clueless (it works the other way around - something compiled for 9.x will run on 9.x, 10,x, 11.x, 12.x by adding the compatibility libraries - which is how I have it working here… however I diverged from 10.x too much to make a simple compat layer for 11.x or 12.x will take me another year to get that up.)
