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?

Whoops. Forgot to reply with what u have tried. I have restarted both devices, I’ve checked network connections, I set screen mirroring to never allow and then back to prompt.
