Hi. Guess what?
AirPlay / Screen Sharing has stopped working consistently for me, as well.
I have absolutely no idea why, but about two weeks ago, my AirPlay functionality stopped working correctly. Here's how it goes:
- Turn on the TV either from a cold boot or Fast TV Start.
- Select either Screen Mirroring or AirPlay on my iPad.
Alternately, on the TV, go to Settings > Apple AirPlay and Homekit, and hit OK. - At this point, it's a coin toss for one of the following to happen:
- TV displays AirPlay screen, then proceeds to stream / mirror from my iPad.
- TV displays AirPlay screen for a moment, then goes back to the menu.
Now, here's the thing. If I do a system restart on my TV, then it works alright. For a while. Guaranteed, it won't be long before the thing decides to be coy with me, again, and makes me restart it. I specifically disabled Fast TV Start in the hopes it would just "cold boot" every time I turned it on. Clearly, that is not the case, otherwise this wouldn't be happening.
You know, I had an issue with the background wallpaper being overwritten by some blank blob shape, last month. It seems like when that got fixed three weeks ago, this started happening. All without a single firmware update or anything. All I have to say, at this point, is "what the heck is going on?"
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, JoLiKMC.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We'd be happy to pass all of this information along to the relevant team so that your devices are included in the ongoing investigation of this issue. Thank you for bearing with us in the meantime.
We'll make sure to get back here if an update is available.
All the best,
EmmanYep. This is still happening.
It seemed fine for a couple days, but now, it seems like it's doing it at least once a day, again. What the heck is going on? The only thing I haven't tried, because I really don't want to, is a complete and total factory reset. I'd rather do what I can to help get this resolved instead of "giving up". (I even updated my original post with more information.)
Frustrating...
Thanks for keeping us posted, JoLiKMC.
We understand your frustration, and we are doing our best to get back to you as soon as possible. The team is working hard to investigate the issue, and we still haven't received any feedback.
We hope for your patience and understanding as we work on the issue. We will be sure to update you on this thread with further developments regarding the investigation.
All the best,
Chel
