    Airplay is broken.  Many users (perhaps all) are having this problem.  It's a bad version.

    Home sharing / Airplay with the new Apple TV / iTunes update is just broke.  Only works for a bit unless you restart iTunes or disable / re-enable Home Sharing.  Use to work great until the last updates.  This is not a network (router, firewall, ...) issue - just a (bad) regression in Apples software.  Hopefully they fix this soon, hard to believe its been broke this long already.  The Remote app update also fails to connect to Apple TVs (but does connect to iTunes) for many people as well.  Poor QA all around...

    I'm having the same problem, just upgraded ATV2 to 5.0 and now I can't use Airplay from my iPad2. When I try I just get the spining clock timer.

     

    However the strange thing is that mirroring does still work.

    After i have upgraded my Apple-TV to version 5.2(6010.96) the AirPlay icon on all my iPhone/iPad devices has disapeared.

    The only workaround is to reboot the Apple-TV box. Then the AirPlay icon will show up for a couple of houres.

     

    Appel - please fix this problem ASAP!
