AirPlay Launches Then Returns to Home Screen

I have recently been experiencing this problem. I've restarted my Mac and my Roku. I've unplugged my Roku. I've restarted my modem and router. I had no problem with it before, but now the black screen with AirPlay shows up and it goes back to Home Screen. Meanwhile my Mac will stay in mirroring mode as if it's connected to Roku. It's really quite frustrating.

    Welcome, Marixi​ 

    From what you've described, it seems you're experiencing an issue where AirPlay briefly appears but then returns to the Home Screen. Thanks for trying out the initial troubleshooting steps—we appreciate your effort. Let’s gather a few more details.

    • Have you tried using your Mac with a different Roku to see if the issue still happens?
    • When did the issue start?


    Looking forward to hearing from you!

      It does the same thing with my iPhone as it does with my Mac. I'll try to restart the system again. I've tried that several times.

        Thanks for confirming the issue occurs on both devices and for trying the restart again. Just to clarify—have you tested your Mac with a different Roku device to see if the issue persists? Please keep us posted on how the restart goes. If possible, sharing a video of the issue would also be very helpful.
