When tvOS 27 is released later this month, Apple TV users will gain an overhauled Podcasts app. The new version includes Apple’s new video podcast streaming technology.
However, eagle-eyed users may notice that the upcoming software update removes one feature that may be missed after updating: support for shows followed by a URL.
Podcasts on Apple TV 4K gets a big update that removes a niche feature
As mentioned, Apple TV 4K is adding support for streaming HLS-based video podcasts in the Podcasts app in tvOS 27.
This follows the same feature coming to iOS 26.4’s Podcasts app on iPhone and iPad. The Mac also supports HLS video shows in macOS 27 Golden Gate.
