qt 蘋果應用程序

Apple’s?TV app, which recently appeared on iOS devices and Apple TV, is meant to help users discover and watch shows across an?increasingly expanding lineup of television channels, as well as iTunes movies and shows, in one central?app.

Apple的TV應用程序最近出現在iOS設備和Apple TV上，旨在通過一個中央應用程序幫助用戶發現和觀看越來越多的電視頻道以及iTunes電影和電視節目。

Apple continues to pursue its goal?of?being a television content provider, though that?hasn’t quite?gone according to plan. The TV app (formerly the Videos app) would appear?to be an important tool?towards achieving this goal, but does it actually have what it takes to make that happen?

蘋果繼續追求成為電視內容供應商的目標，盡管還沒有按照計劃進行。 電視應用程序(以前稱為視頻應用程序)似乎是實現這一目標的重要工具，但實際上它具有實現這一目標所需要的一切嗎？

電視應用程序的工作方式 (How the?TV App Works)

The TV app is virtually identical on iOS devices and Apple TV save its appearance, so we’re going to largely stick with screenshots from the iPhone throughout this article. If there are any differences between the two platforms, we’ll make note of?them.

TV應用實際上在iOS設備上是相同的，Apple TV保存了它的外觀，因此在本文中，我們將主要使用iPhone的屏幕截圖。 如果兩個平臺之間有任何差異，我們將記下它們。

The TV app consists of three main components: Watch Now, Library, and Store, as well as an additional Search feature.

電視應用程序包含三個主要組件：“立即觀看”，“圖書館”和“商店”，以及附加的搜索功能。

The TV app on Apple TV: different platform, same result.Apple TV上的TV應用程序：不同的平臺，相同的結果。

When you open the TV app on your iPhone or iPad, you’ll see your Library, which displays?items that you’ve rented and purchased from iTunes.

在iPhone或iPad上打開TV應用程序時，您會看到“媒體庫”，其中顯示了您從iTunes租借和購買的物品。

On the Apple TV, the default screen is the Watch Now feature, which seems intended as a sort of “TV Guide”,?though it really doesn’t work that way. More on that in a minute.

在Apple TV上，默認屏幕是“立即觀看”功能，該功能看起來像是一種“電視指南”，盡管實際上并不能這樣工作。 一分鐘內可以了解更多。

If you have other Macs or iOS devices with iTunes Home Sharing enabled, they?will also appear on your Library screen (such as our MacBook Air in the screenshot below). From there, you can access?content you’ve added through iTunes on those devices.

如果您有其他啟用了iTunes Home Sharing的Mac或iOS設備，它們也將出現在“媒體庫”屏幕上(例如下面屏幕截圖中的MacBook Air)。 從那里，您可以訪問通過iTunes在這些設備上添加的內容。

Tap on the Store tab, and you can download TV channel apps (like ABC or HBO Go) as well as?buy content like movies and TV shows.

點擊“商店”選項卡，您可以下載電視頻道應用程序(例如ABC或HBO Go)以及購買電影和電視節目等內容。

If you want to download a TV channel app, it will open the App Store on both iOS and Apple TV.?The TV app consolidates finding apps into one place, but this was never an issue, especially on Apple TV where the App Store makes quick work of this process.

如果要下載電視頻道應用程序，它將在iOS和Apple TV上打開App Store。 TV應用程序將查找到的應用程序整合到一個地方，但這從來不是問題，特別是在Apple TV上，App Store可以快速完成此過程。

?

Buying or renting?content is a little better, in that?you don’t need to leave the TV app (left). You can, however, also buy or rent movies and shows?from the iTunes Store if you want (right).

購買或租借內容要好一些，因為您無需離開電視應用程序(左)。 但是，您也可以根據需要從iTunes Store購買或租借電影和節目(右)。

Finally, the last tab is for searching for content, especially iTunes’ library of?movies and TV shows, which you can then buy or rent as shown above.

最后，最后一個選項卡用于搜索內容，尤其是iTunes的電影和電視節目庫，然后您可以如上所示購買或租借它們。

You can’t use the Search feature to find TV channel apps, but?you can (though it isn’t at all obvious) find TV shows, which you can then use to see which apps you can view them in.

您不能使用“搜索”功能來查找電視頻道應用程序，但可以(盡管并不明顯)可以找到電視節目，然后可以使用電視節目來查看可以在其中觀看的應用程序。

If you don’t have the needed app,?the App Store will open for you to download it.

如果您沒有所需的應用程序，則App Store會打開供您下載。

If you’re looking for a specific TV channel app, however, you will have to?search for it using the App Store or perhaps happen upon it in the Store.

但是，如果您要查找特定的電視頻道應用程序，則必須使用App Store進行搜索，或者在商店中找到它。

現在，電視應用還不是很好 (Right Now, the TV App Isn’t?That Great)

As useful as the TV app could be, in its current form it’s somewhat?reminiscent of the?now-extinct Game Center?app: it just doesn’t seem?like Apple thought it all through completely. It feels unfinished and sparse, and most content providers are still doing their own thing.

就目前的電視應用而言，它的實用性使其在某種程度上讓人想起了現已滅絕的Game Center應用：蘋果似乎并沒有完全想到它。 感覺未完成且稀疏，大多數內容提供商仍在做自己的事情。

First, there are the TV channel apps, which should be?an integral part of the TV experience. Because channel?apps are separate and need to be downloaded from the App Store first, you end up with are a lot of individual apps taking up space on your iPhone or iPad.

首先，有電視頻道應用程序，它們應該是電視體驗中不可或缺的一部分。 由于通道應用程序是單獨的，需要首先從App Store下載，因此最終會導致大量單個應用程序占用iPhone或iPad上的空間。

On the Apple TV, this is fine—these channel apps are one of its?primary?purpose, and they?work pretty well. But on an iPhone or iPad, it’s clunky and cluttered. Worst of all, you can’t access all or even most of your downloaded apps from the TV app. Instead, you have to open the individual app from your home screen.

在Apple TV上，這很好-這些頻道應用程序是其主要目的之一，并且運行良好。 但是在iPhone或iPad上，它笨拙且混亂。 最糟糕的是，您無法從電視應用程序訪問全部或什至大部分已下載的應用程序。 相反，您必須從主屏幕打開單個應用程序。

Furthermore, channel apps that do work with the TV app aren’t exactly numerous (Netflix is notably absent), numbering among a handful out of all that are available.

此外，與電視應用程序兼容的頻道應用程序并不是很多(特別是缺少Netflix)，在所有可用的應用程序中都占少數。

?

Then there’s the Watch Now feature. Using Watch Now is unsatisfying?and doesn’t have a coherent feel to it.

然后是立即觀看功能。 使用“立即觀看”令人不滿意，而且感覺不連貫。

For example, if?you want to connect a channel to TV, you first have to sign in with the channel, then quit the TV app and restart it. Only then will it (maybe) recognize the newly signed-in app and allow you to connect it to the TV app, but you won’t know until you actually download the channel app,?sign in, and perform this ritual over and over, which gets old really quickly.

例如，如果要將頻道連接到電視，則必須首先登錄該頻道，然后退出電視應用程序并重新啟動它。 只有這樣，它(也許)才能識別新登錄的應用程序，并允許您將其連接到TV應用程序，但是直到您實際下載該頻道應用程序，登錄并反復執行此儀式后，您才知道這一點，很快就變老了。

As you can see in the screenshot on the left, only a handful of apps actually connect to TV (that’s 5 out 13 that we tested).

如您在左側的屏幕截圖中所見，實際上只有少數應用程序可以連接到電視(我們測試了13個中的5個)。

Thankfully, it?is a bit more streamlined on the Apple TV, which automatically asks you if you want to connect an app to TV when you first use it.

值得慶幸的是，Apple TV上的程序更加簡化了，Apple TV在首次使用時會自動詢問您是否要將應用程序連接到電視。

As we mentioned, the Watch Now feature is meant to be something of a guide for your iOS device or Apple TV, but it really doesn’t work that way. A real TV guide will show?you what’s on every channel. You should be able to tap on a channel, and then ideally, access channel?content directly from the guide.

正如我們提到的，“立即觀看”功能旨在作為您的iOS設備或Apple TV的指南，但實際上并不能這樣工作。 真正的電視指南將向您顯示每個頻道的內容。 您應該能夠點擊一個頻道，然后在理想情況下直接從指南中訪問頻道內容。

Out of all the content featured across our five apps that actually connect?to Watch Now, we were only able to see a smattering of offerings. For instance, check out the screenshot below. This is what we’re shown when we tap “See All” Hit TV Shows. Seriously, that’s it: five shows. Keep in mind we’ve connected five channels to the TV app, on which there are dozens of programs.

在實際上連接到“立即觀看”的五個應用程序中精選的所有內容中，我們只能看到少量的產品。 例如，請查看下面的屏幕截圖。 這是當我們點擊“查看全部”熱門電視節目時所顯示的內容。 說真的，就是這樣：五個節目。 請記住，我們已經將五個頻道連接到TV應用程序，其中有數十個程序。

This will likely improve as more apps are connected to the TV app, but one has to believe that more would be represented?here.

隨著越來越多的應用程序連接到電視應用程序，這種情況可能會有所改善，但是必須相信會有更多的應用程序在此出現。

Thus, if you want to see everything that’s playing on Fox and FX, as well as HGTV, DiY Network, or Food Channel, you need to actually open up the relevant apps individually and look.

因此，如果您想查看Fox和FX以及HGTV，DiY Network或Food Channel上正在播放的所有內容，則需要實際單獨打開相關應用并進行查看。

Then,?there’s the?“Up Next” feature, which is just plain odd.?First of all, Up Next?lets you pick up where you left off.?This means?opening up a?TV channel’s app, picking something out, and then stopping it. Only then will it appear under?Up Next, which would be more accurate?if it were named?“Continue Watching” or something like that.

然后是“ Up Next”功能，這很奇怪。 首先，Up Next讓您從上次停下來的地方接機。 這意味著打開電視頻道的應用程序，挑選一些東西，然后停止它。 只有這樣，它才會出現在Up Next(下一個)下，如果將其命名為“ Continue Watching”(連續觀看)或類似名稱，它將更加準確。

Up Next does have some queue-like powers but you wouldn’t know it at first glance. In order to actually add items to Up Next, you first need to browse?a title you’re interested in viewing, tap the blue dot as shown squared in red, and then tap “Add To Up Next”.

Up Next確實具有一些類似于隊列的功能，但是乍一看您不會知道。 為了將項目實際添加到“下一個”中，您首先需要瀏覽您想要查看的標題，點擊顯示為紅色方形的藍色點，然后點擊“添加到下一個”。

Note also, this is also one way to open TV shows in their relevant?TV channel apps. Incidentally, you can also perform this trick from the Search feature, though it’s no more intuitive.

另請注意，這也是在其相關電視頻道應用中打開電視節目的一種方法。 順便說一句，盡管它并不直觀，但您也可以通過“搜索”功能執行此操作。

This could?be a lot more obvious. You know how we know this? Because this is how it’s done on the Apple TV. It’s difficult to understand why the iOS version can’t have a simple set of obvious buttons similar to?this.

這可能更加明顯。 你知道我們怎么知道嗎？ 因為這是在Apple TV上完成的。 很難理解為什么iOS版本沒有一組簡單的類似按鈕。

The whole Watch Now feature, and in particular Up Next, needs some serious work on iOS, and while it’s quite a bit more intuitive on the Apple TV, it still falters due to?that one crucial area: lack of app support.

整個“立即觀看”功能，尤其是Up Next，需要在iOS上進行一些認真的工作，盡管在Apple TV上直觀得多，但由于這一關鍵領域：缺少應用程序支持，它仍然停滯不前。

并非全都不好，但可能會更好 (It’s Not All Bad, but it Could Be Better)

While the TV app definitely needs more compatible apps, and the Watch Now feature could use some serious work, it’s not all bad.

雖然TV應用程序肯定需要更多兼容的應用程序，并且“立即觀看”功能可能需要進行一些認真的工作，但這并不全都是壞事。

The Library does?function as intended—a place to quickly access content you’ve already purchased or rented from iTunes. In fact, it’s a lot more slick than using the iTunes Store to see?your purchased content.

資料庫按預期運行，可以快速訪問您已經從iTunes購買或租借的內容。 實際上，它比使用iTunes Store查看購買的內容要流暢得多。

Additionally, the Store works well for easily for buying and renting?movies and TV shows, though the iTunes Store does seem?more extensive and well designed. You can also see a list of TV channel apps available, but?it makes more sense to just use the App Store, which has a better selection and allows you to directly download them from it.

此外，盡管iTunes Store似乎更廣泛且設計精良，但它可以很好地輕松購買和租借電影和電視節目。 您還可以看到可用的電視頻道應用程序列表，但是僅使用App Store更為合理，因為App Store具有更好的選擇，您可以直接從中下載它們。

So, there is some promise here, but right now using the TV app to view content really doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Why use it?when only a few channels are actually supported and you have to open most apps from your home screen anyway?

因此，這里有一些希望，但是現在使用TV應用程序觀看內容確實沒有任何意義。 當實際上僅支持少數幾個通道并且無論如何都必須從主屏幕打開大多數應用程序時，為什么要使用它？

Furthermore, the few apps that actually?work with TV aren’t fully fleshed out, nor can you see all of a channel’s offerings.

此外，少數與電視實際兼容的應用還沒有被充實，您也看不到頻道的所有產品。

Truthfully there’s nothing the TV app does on either iOS or Apple TV that you can’t accomplish with?the App Store or iTunes Store. But why, then, do we need another?app that doesn’t adequately bridge the gap between these apps or offer a suitable replacement to them?

確實，TV應用程序在iOS或Apple TV上沒有做過App Store或iTunes Store無法完成的任何工作。 但是，為什么為什么我們需要另一個應用程序卻不能充分彌補這些應用程序之間的鴻溝，或為它們提供合適的替代產品呢？

Apple clearly has their work cut out for them—clunky implementation, limited app support, and a kind-of?third-wheel feeling—it’s going to be some time before the TV app’s existence is justified.

蘋果顯然為他們完成了工作-笨拙的實現，有限的應用程序支持以及一種第三輪感覺-電視應用程序的存在尚需時日。

As things stand right now, however, Apple seems to have missed a?golden opportunity to get things perfect?right from the start, and what we’re left with is basically another app that most users will probably delete and forget about.

但是，從目前的情況來看，蘋果似乎錯失了從一開始就使事情變得完美的絕佳機會，而我們剩下的基本上是大多數用戶可能會刪除并忘記的另一個應用程序。
