Apple TV App on the Mac almost not usable

Hi,

I have a M1 Macbook Air and a M1 iMac. After updating to Mac OS Ventura I have noticed that the Apple TV App which comes preinstalled on the acs is almost not usable with VoiceOver. There is so much interacting and stop interacting with areas that are not lablet correctly that I don't want to watch whatever I wanted to watch there in the first place.

I don't know if that happened a while ago or if that is something new cause I did not use the TV App for a while now. But Iremember it being way better and way ore intuitive to use that one.

Music seems to get worse too but atleast the areas are lablet which makes using the app not fun but at least possible.

Any help on how to use TV efficiently would be apreciated. Thanks!

Best regards from Germany
Dennis

Thanks I actually didn't think about simply airplaying to the Mac. The only issue there is that AirPlay eats through the iPhones battery in no time. At least when I used it more back in 2019 it did. So maybe that has changed by now.

For me, especially with all the unlabeled sections, if I know what I want to watch, I usually perform a search by pressing Command-F to jump to the search field, typing my search term, and locating the content in the collection.
