According to the old the older Apple TV 4/3/2/1 supported video, Apple TV 4K might only supports .mp4 .mov .m4v video formats. As for 4K video, MP4 might be the best format.

Some 4K cameras can make 4K video files in XAVC S. To play these all kinds of 4K video files, you need to transcode the 4K video files to 4K MP4 for Apple TV 4K with a 4K Video Converter. Below is an excellent 4K v ideo converter you can choose.
