Features, settings & updates

[Timba]

I have updated my new iPhone and Roku with the Airplay now added.  My phone now sees my Roku Ultra, but when sending a video to my Roku, it asks what Airplay code is being shown on my tv, yet no code appears on screen on the Roku.  What do I need to do to get that code to appear so I can connect to my Roku via Airplay?

@Timba 

Thanks for the post.

Can you go to AirPlay in settings and let us know what you see in there?

The settings should be
Airplay: On
Require code: First time Only
Subtitles captioning

About Airplay

If you see something different, can you please let us know what you are seeing?

Thanks,
Danny

Danny,

is Roku planning a new update?  I have confirmed my settings, confirmed the new software update (9.4), confirmed my device is able;  restarted the system several time, still no code on TV/Roku device.  It’s not working 

Thanks

AirPlay and HomeKit are two separate but related functions.

The QR code scanning is just for the HomeKit setup - since AirPlay is enabled by default, try just using the AirPlay function from your phone.

How do I use AirPlay to view videos, music, and photos on my TV?

Before you can use AirPlay with your Roku device, check that your Apple device and Roku device are on the same wireless network. Once they are, you can use the steps below to view content on your TV using AirPlay.

1. On your Apple device, find the video, song, photo, or podcast you wish to share.
2. Tap or click the AirPlay video icon in video apps, or the AirPlay audio icon in music and other audio apps.
   
   • 
     Note: With some apps, you may need to tap or click the Share icon before you will see the AirPlay icon.
     
     
3. Select your Roku device from the AirPlay menu.

Once playback begins, you can pause, fast forward, and rewind from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, or you can use your Roku remote. When you want to stop streaming with AirPlay, you can press the Home button on your Roku remote.

Having the same issue. “No usable data” when I scan the QR code. This is true on two different sets, with two different Roku units.
