When Apple TV 4K<\/a> launched last year, it had fans salivating. But not for the sharper picture or faster processor. It was the new Siri Remote that caught everyone\u2019s eye. Had Cupertino finally made a TV remote control that didn\u2019t suck?<\/p>\n

With its iPod-style scroll wheel<\/a>, the second-generation Siri Remote promised to make scrolling through content effortless. In reality, the scroll wheel turned out to be hard to use, and lacked support from third-party apps like YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t throw your remote at the TV just yet. When you get the hang of its quirks, the Siri Remote scroll wheel works surprisingly well. And you can use it with loads of essential apps, including Netflix<\/a>, HBO Max<\/a> and, of course, Apple TV+<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The sad history of Apple\u00a0 TV remotes<\/h2>\n

Apple doesn\u2019t have a great track record with TV remotes. The first model was widely criticized for being too small, with too few buttons. Next came the Siri Remote, with its trackpad and microphone. This wasn\u2019t popular either, because it was too fiddly and you couldn\u2019t tell one end from the other.<\/p>\n

When the second-gen Siri Remote arrived last year, it was supposed to solve all that. This complete redesign featured four buttons arranged in a ring around a circular trackpad. It looked like the iPod\u2019s iconic scroll wheel, but Apple called it the clickpad<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The clickpad: all new, but oddly familiar<\/h3>\n

The Siri Remote’s clickpad provides a surprising amount of functions for such a compact cluster of controls. Pressing the center button selects items, while the side buttons move up, down, left and right. You also can move around the screen by swiping the trackpad in the center.<\/p>\n

However, all this changes during video playback. Then, the center button becomes a play\/pause button, the left and right buttons rewind and fast-forward, and swiping left and right also moves forward and back. Swiping up reveals options like subtitles and languages while swiping down presents the info tab.<\/p>\n

So far, so good. It all works just as you\u2019d intuitively expect.\u00a0But what about scrubbing with the scroll wheel? That\u2019s where things get a little more complicated.<\/p>\n

What is scrubbing?<\/h3>\n

The term \u201cscrubbing<\/a>\u201d originates from\u00a0audio editing, where recordings used to be stored on reels of magnetic tape. Editors would manually turn the reels to move the tape over the playhead to locate sections of the recording. As the tape moved back and forth, it looked like the playhead was scrubbing it clean.<\/p>\n

These days, tape recordings are long gone. Audio and video are now stored digitally. But editing apps like Apple\u2019s Logic Pro<\/a>\u00a0still use the term “scrubbing” to refer to speeding up and slowing down playback<\/a> of a recording to locate the right spot. Instead of turning reels of tape, editors can now use USB jog\/shuttle dials<\/a>\u00a0(like this one<\/a>) to scrub through their video timelines.<\/p>\n

How to use Siri Remote scroll wheel for scrubbing<\/h3>\n

While the fast-forward and rewind buttons on the Siri Remote move at a predefined pace (2x, 3x or 4x<\/a>), the scroll wheel allows you to set the pace yourself, with the precise motions of your finger, giving you incredible control. This allows you to scrub, as if you were using professional editing software.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to do it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press the center of the clickpad to pause the video.<\/li>\n
  2. Lightly touch the circular ridge around the clickpad, but don\u2019t move your finger.<\/li>\n
  3. Wait for a small circle icon to appear on the timeline at the bottom of the screen. This indicates that you’ve entered scroll wheel mode.<\/li>\n
  4. Move your finger around the circular ridge of the clickpad in continuous circles without lifting it. Clockwise to scrub forward, counterclockwise to scrub back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How to use the Siri Remote scroll wheel.

    Why people think the scroll wheel doesn\u2019t work<\/h3>\n

    The most common complaint I\u2019ve heard about the scroll wheel is that the video jerks forward and then back as you run your finger around the ridge. But this doesn\u2019t mean the scroll wheel is faulty. Just that you haven\u2019t enabled scroll wheel mode.<\/p>\n

    If scroll wheel mode is not enabled, the trackpad interprets your circular finger movements as alternating between left and right swipes. And since these gestures mean rewind and fast-forward, your video keeps jerking back and forth.<\/p>\n

    The solution is to make sure scroll wheel mode is enabled before you start scrolling. You have to wait for the circle to appear on the timeline on your screen.<\/p>\n

    What if the circle icon doesn\u2019t appear on the timeline?<\/h3>\n

    If you followed the instructions above correctly and the circle icon doesn\u2019t appear on the timeline, that probably means the app you\u2019re using doesn\u2019t support it.<\/p>\n

    Six months after its launch, the scroll wheel is still not supported by a number of tvOS apps, including: Disney+<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, Amazon Prime Video<\/a> and NFL GamePass<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Unfortunately, there\u2019s nothing you can do about this. The good news is, it is<\/em> supported by Apple TV+<\/a>, Netflix<\/a> and HBO Max<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Why don\u2019t all tvOS apps support the scroll wheel?<\/h3>\n

    It\u2019s easy to spot if an app supports the scroll wheel, because it uses Apple\u2019s system video player. This is the software component Apple uses in all its own apps to play back video. Apple offers it to third-party developers to use in their apps, too.<\/p>\n

    It has a distinctively Apple look and feel that is easy to recognize. At the bottom of the screen, there\u2019s a white timeline with rounded ends (see screenshots above). The name of the show\/movie appears above it in Apple\u2019s SF Pro typeface<\/a>, aligned left. Icons are aligned right for subtitles, etc.<\/p>\n

    Apple recommends that third-party apps use the system video player \u201cto give people a familiar and convenient experience<\/a>.\u201d But sadly, not all developers follow this advice. Sometimes they choose to create their own video player instead.<\/p>\n

    Why don\u2019t all tvOS apps use the system video player?<\/h3>\n

    Apple\u2019s Human Interface Guidelines<\/a> made no mention at all of the second-generation Siri Remote until they were updated for WWDC22 last week. And even now, there\u2019s still no reference to the scroll wheel<\/a>. That means third-party developers who don\u2019t use the system video player have no way of supporting the scroll wheel.<\/p>\n

    At this point, you might be asking: Why don\u2019t third-party developers just use Apple’s system video player? There are two answers to this. One good, one bad.<\/p>\n

    The good reason is that some developers want to include features that are not supported by the system video player. For example, when you watch a live game on NFL Game Pass<\/a>, handy little icons appear on the timeline to indicate when there was a touchdown, field goal or turnover. But it\u2019s not possible for developers to do that using the standard system video player.<\/p>\n

    The bad reason is that some developers want their app to look like their brand, not Apple\u2019s. For example, Google gives all its iOS apps an Android aesthetic. In my opinion, this is prioritizing corporate pride over user experience. Not only does the video player look and work differently in these apps, but a core feature — the scroll wheel — is disabled.<\/p>\n

    When it works, the Siri Remote Scroll Wheel is great<\/h3>\n

    Given how political the choice of video player seems to be, I think it\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll ever see support for the scroll wheel on apps like YouTube. But in the apps that do support it, the scroll wheel is awesome for scrubbing through content. So if, like me, you spend a lot of time using Apple TV+, Netflix and HBO Max, it\u2019s well worth figuring out how to use it properly.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
