AirPlay won’t work with Sportsnet + app - Apple TV

I don’t have Sportsnet to test for you. I’m watching on cable.

See: Sportsnet AirPlay

Does the Sportsnet iOS app support Apple AirPlay?

Yes.

The Sportsnet app does allow you to stream your Sportsnet+ live streams via AirPlay.

You must however use the Airplay controls within the video player, and not using Screen mirroring enabled from the iOS Command Center.

Instructions:

• Open the Sportsnet+ section of the app and initiate playback of a live stream
• Tap on the AirPlay icon on the row of player controls (if you do not initially see the AirPlay icon try to lock and unlock your screen to see if the icon appears after the unlock)
• Select the Apple TV device you would like to AirPlay to
• The Airplay icon will turn blue once a successful AirPlay playback session has started

Assuming your ISP is still the same and you’ve already restarted your router, I’d buy a Roku just to eliminate the Apple TV. If it works with Roku, keep it, otherwise return. Sorry, that’s the best I’ve got 🤷‍♂️

Didi you subscribe to Sportsnet directly, or is it part of your pay TV package? For the latter, it might not work for non-mobile devices on internet connections from other ISPs/​TV providers. Just a thought.

I have used airplay or screen mirroring to stream Sportsnet from my iphone to a Samsung screen for a couple of weeks.

Now neither works. Any other App will work using screen mirroring including Youtube. The problem is Sportsnet specific.

There is an online advisory that you can’t use screen mirroring for Sportsnet. The help article states that you have to use the Air Play controls within the Sportnet app. That worked but only for a few minutes then stopped working ?
