Is it possible to record the video feed out of the Apple TV’s new capability of using iOS device camera to see the video feed on Apple Music? (lemmy.one)

(Longest question ever, I know)

So I’ve been playing around with the new feature on tvOS to use my iPhone camera to see oneself on the tv screen when singing along Apple Music tracks. But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to record what’s on the screen.

Is it even possible? If so, how?

Thanks.

It's possible - yes, but it's usually not easy due to DRM issues.

The Quicktime Player app on the Mac can record the Apple TV screen - you need to connect a Mac to the TV using a USB cable. There might be DRM in the music video which will disable that feature. It will probably need to be a relatively expensive USB cable, cheap ones are unlikely to run at high enough bandwidth.

You can buy a "HDMI Capture" card for a desktop PC - such as this one: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/decklink/techspecs/W-DLK-39 but that's also not guaranteed, again DRM can disable it.

There are likely ways to get around the DRM, but I don't know much about htat.
