Re: Airplay Issue - Roku device returns to Settings when Airplay is launched

I am seeing this issue now.  Can't do a screen mirror or Airplay.  Can't setup Airplay.  iphone does not recognize my Roku.  Noticed it today when trying to Airplay The Masters.

Re: Airplay Issue - Roku device returns to Settings when Airplay is launched

 It was working previously.   Now when I go to settings I click on apple airplay and HomeKit, the airplay logo shows and then it goes back to tcl roku tv settings.  

tcl model 65R635- serial number X00300N32LWF

roku tv A114X

software version 10.5.0 build 4210-88

this started this week after the Tv restarted on its own. 
The device can be found via airplay on devices but they cannot connect to the tv.  And I can’t check to see if airplay is turned on because the airplay and HomeKit settings do not show.

Danny,

the issue happens every time you try to launch the Apple airplay and HomeKit app. It briefly displays a black screen with Airplay in white letters then immediately returns back to the settings menu. 
This is my 1st attempt at using the airplay (unsuccessfully) on this device.

@KingDad  I own 3 TCL Roku TV’s and Airplay works great using my iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 15.4.1. Did you fully read this article? Have you restarted your Roku TV and phone?

@Ello2022 

Yes I have read the article you reference. Roku's support staff has informed me they are aware of the issue described in this thread header and their engineers are working on the issue. Point being, it's not the user's inexperience or improperly connected devices. The issue is with the Roku software itself not launching the Airplay app. Setup screen.

I'm sure on your T.V. when you select Airplay it redirects to a new screen with some drop down menus. Our issue is that we do not get this screen. Instead of being redirect to an Airplay setup screen it simply goes back to the T.V. settings screen.
