Staff Blog / Fresh New Features on Apple TV
All you hardcore Apple TV lovers are in for a treat — we're peeling the wraps off a bushel of sweet new features. Because you know what they say: An Apple TV feature a day keeps the doctor away! (They do say that, right?) Anyway, here’s what’s fresh off the tree:
Continuous Playback
Want to watch videos with no interruptions? No problem! When you’re done with one video, we’ll serve up another. Just sit back, relax, and feast your eyes.

Expanded Search
In addition to searching for individual videos, you can now forage through Channels, Groups, and People. It's never been easier to find videos suited to your taste.

Related Videos
Video detail pages now feature a selection of similar videos for your consumption. Scroll down to find videos uploaded and liked by the video's creator, as well as any Categories, Channels, and Groups that the video has been added to.

Learn more about the many wonders of Apple TV here. And remember, we're not just on Apple devices — Vimeo is everywhere!

Cool stuff!

I love watching Vimeo on my Apple TV. I queue stuff up in my watch later bin, then enjoy them on the big screen when I have time. YouTube's AppleTV presence is a joke in comparison.

I think vimeo might be the best part about apple tv!

I really appreciate this update. There are few things that get me more inspired than some of the creativity I'm seeing on Vimeo these days, and the access via ATV is critical.
Roderick Peterson Plus
Totally groovy feature additions! Gear it up for those Apple TVs (the Sharp made panels) supposedly coming in the future. Can't wait to watch Vimeo grow even more!

Sweet :-)

As the web integrates with TV the divide between the two diminishes, isn't that wonderful for the film maker in us all. Glad to be part of and promoted by Vimeo for Apple TV, thanks Vimeo and community! :)

The vimeo application on Apple TV was already pretty darn good. Love the new updates. The vimeo experience on Apple TV is really amazing, if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it.
Thanks for keeping it awesome, vimeo.

I can't sing in my Apple TV and I can't Search too. I tried my email and password here and it worked. So I don't understand why I can't sing in vimeo on my Apple TV. Can anybody help me? Thanks!
Antero Kataja
@rnorbi72: there can many reasons for this, but I would first try to eliminate the most obvious. How about changing your vimeo password something that is extremely easy to type from Apple TV, just to make sure that password is correct. How about your account name - have you remembered to use full e-mail address (with domain name)? Sorry if these are too obvious, but I have had some problems to type these with AppleTv.
rnorbi72
Thanks! But I tried everything and it didn't work.

When will these features be available and how do I access them?
Brad Dougherty Staff
They're available now. To get continuous playback, just hit the play button when you have a thumbnail selected.
eg design Plus
All I seem to be able to get anymore is "related videos." Scrolling down (clicking "down" on the Apple TV remote, right?) just beeps. I can't seem to get to author's uploads, etc. Any ideas? Thanks!
Jonah Garoutte
Same for me..
Mutual Moon Productions
That's awesome! Apple TV + Vimeo is one of our favorite ways to entertain guests.
Derek Davis Plus
I just got an Apple TV the other day, and I absolutely love the Vimeo app! Fantastic work, but never settle! Please keep improving it as much as possible.

Far out!

Is Vimeo available on the older Apple TV (2years ago-Hockey Puck) or only the one that came out a couple of months ago?
Kevin Anthony Plus
I'm pretty sure it's available on all the smallish black models (AppleTV 2 and AppleTV 3) But it's definitely not available on the much older, larger white and grey model.
MARATHON Plus
Looking forward to the Continuous Playback option, finally it's a true "Channel"

Anyone else not seeing this update reflected on their ATV2?

I'm in Canada if that matters.

I'm not seeing it, and I'm in Canada too

thank you Vimeo! one more BIG reason to watch. AppleTV + Vimeo = Luv
Noe Campos
Really, it's wonderful, but...
WHY it doesn't works in AppleTV in Brazil? My son brought me an AppleTV as a gift. When you log it in an account located in USA, it works fine. When you try to log with a Brazilian account, it EXCLUDES Vimeo!
WHY? And HOW to solve it?
Philip David Morgan Plus
When I first saw Apple TV demonstrated at Best Buy, I was disappointed by how poorly it handled searches for videos that I had put on Vimeo (even with keywords I knew by heart). I am still set on a Roku box, but I hope the upgrading of the Vimeo app for Apple TV will make things so much easier for everyone.
David Crompton
Nice Work! Thanks!
MARATHON Plus
Just wondering if there's an easy way to view the Vimeo Awards Finalists continuous on the Apple TV? Should i work with a collection / group / playlist? Sometimes i really miss a keyboard.. Any ideas?
Peter Steeper
I keep getting Vimeo not available on AppleTV. It's been that way for several weeks now.
Peter Steeper
I had to remove Firecore to get Vimeo to work.
Justin Gaskin
Just picked up the latest Apple TV version and the Vimeo app is easily the best thing about it! Hopefully there will be more of a full blown app down the road so we can track stats and use Vimeo more professionally on it.

Bought Apple Tv 3 for my living room, Love the Vimeo App is a killer design, smooth, fast, HD, access my whole entire videos and watch all the greatest vimeo creators on tv , not the laptop full 1080p.
Keep the hard core work hopfully to see some new stuff on the app.
Jacory Brady
how do you make continuous playback work on the apple tv? i can't find a way to turn it on anywhere, and can't find any clear instructions!
Jacory Brady
nevermind, figured it out. kept trying to find an icon or something on apple tv vimeo and finally realized you just hit the PLAY/PAUSE button on your apple tv remote to play a video. this starts the continuous play.
before, i would go into video details and hit the play button from there. but going that way only plays that single video.
now i'm trying to figure out, is there a way to skip to the next video?
Marketing Department Plus
Jacory thanks!
Finally got my "aha" with what you wrote above. I too was pressing "ok" instead of "play" from the playlist i created. now its continuous play!!
Yeh :)
Jose Calleja
Thanks Jacory!
Simon Brown
yeah -- continuous play is not that obvious, but it's very freakin' essential
Adityo Maltais
what about in Taiwan?
Aliyar Taravati
Do these features only work in the US? I'm in Canada, and I can't get the continuous play to work. Also, the Vimeo app on my Apple TV 2 does not look like the screenshots on this page.
Shane Barker
Why can't I see who I'm following through the vimeo app on the Apple TV?????
Anytime Tennis™ Plus
