    Hey Dodaron,

     

    It sounds like your Apple TV has a setting enabled to require either a specific code or a password to AirPlay to the Apple TV. For either option, you can set it here:

    Set an onscreen code

     

    Use this setting to require a specific code to AirPlay to the Apple TV. When an AirPlay-enabled device attempts to connect to an Apple TV with Onscreen Code enabled, enter the passcode shown on the TV into the device that’s attempting to connect to the Apple TV.

    • Settings > AirPlay > Onscreen Code > On

     

    Set a password

    Use this setting to require a password for AirPlay-enabled devices to connect using AirPlay on the Apple TV. Use this setting for devices that will need permanent access and you only want to enter the password once.

    • Settings > AirPlay > Password > [set password]
