Apple TV New Features: Developer Demonstrates Apple TV 4 PIP Function

Apple updated Apple TV last year. The fourth-generation Apple TV with its new operating system has become "smart". However, many users report that when watching videos on Apple TV 4, they cannot browse the library or Using other applications is really a big pity. The function that the user said is picture-in-picture. For a smart HDMI streaming box, this seems to be a "must have" feature, especially considering that some iPads running iOS 9 support the PIP function.


However, it should be noted that tvOS is based on the iOS development system, so it is not surprising that sharing the same code at the bottom level, but Apple has disabled or modified some of the content.

Recently, developer @stroughtonsmith has modified an application on Apple TV 4 to make the picture-in-picture function successfully run on Apple TV, which has further improved the practicality of Apple TV.

The A8 chip of Apple TV 4 is enough to support the picture-in-picture function. It is really puzzled that Apple did not add this feature to Apple TV 4 natively.
