Having issue using Airplay with iPhone

Jump to solution

I have a Roku 5115x that is updated to the most recent software version and my iPhone is not picking it up for screen mirroring. I’m afraid perhaps my tv is just too old, but on the off chance it’s not what am I doing wrong that it won’t mirror?

 

I have it set to prompt, the phone and tv are both in the same network, I have restarted both devices, what else can I do?

Re: Having issue using Airplay with iPhone

I’m having the same problem.

im trying to watch NASCAR through airplay from my phone, but for some reason, whenever I connect that channel (or other channels) it won’t show the race.

The TV I’m airplaying it to is relatively new (bought in march 2020) so I assumed it should work, but ever since June I’ve had the same problem: it doesn’t connect.

I don’t have peacock either, so that makes this even worse.
