Most people won’t care, but Apple today updated its Apple TV device to include YouTube support
It also updated it with a couple of other useful extras at the same time. You can now select the appropriate iTunes Store for your country to make sure the “iTunes Top TV episodes” and “iTunes movies” options don’t appear unless you’re in the US because you can’t buy bloody anything from the iTunes Store unless you’re in the US.
You can also sort things by date, which is helpful if you don’t name your files properly or the cocking useless Apple TV sorts things out of order.
How about a “play stuff that’s recorded in some format I might actually have” option, Apple?
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
