The AirPlay device “Apple TV” cannot be selected for audio output. Please verify your network settings and AirPlay configuration or select another device.

When using the Computers app on Apple TV that is using home sharing, which is completely separate from airplay or mirroring.

I'm not sure what the solution is. I have even updated to the latest Mojave 10.14.5, with no resolve. There needs to be a fix for this, as I have brought a lot of movies off iTunes unable to now AirPlay them to my TV from my MacBook Pro.

I have this problem too with a Apple TV 2, iTunes Version 12.9.4.94 and Mojave 10.14.4 with a new Samsung TV. I can play to my TV with Apple TV using Quick Time player but not using iTunes. Sometimes with iTunes I do get the sound but no picture.

I have also invested a lot of money in stuff I can no longer play on my TV. Looking to use alternatives in the future.

I have the same problem!! :( what I did was.... to change the sharing folder and play the movies from there.. and not iTunes!! & I can also open and play files from android devices ..

System preferences>Sharing> click File Sharing and create a folder to share into the network ... that's just a quick fix for now until they repair whatever the problem is they are having :)

To get over the same problem which was really annoying, I re-installed the Mojave 10.14.3 OS. Took me hours but now I can air play my purchased movies via Air Play on Apple TV 2. So now I can see G.O.T season 8 on a big screen instead of the using the computer.

Couple of points, I had a boot disk of Mojave 10.14.3 and an up to date Time Machine back up. Tip when restoring from bootable disk do select Partition the main drive (prior to install new OS) and select the older volume not the APFS volume, otherwise you will end up where you where before with Mojave 10.14.5.

Really fed up with Apple no backward compatibility and no warnings of problems with Mojave updates. Needless to say I shall not be doing another update.

Good luck.

I’m having the same error message when trying to watch anything from iTunes on my MacBook Air to my AppleTV 4th gen. I’ve turned settings off and back on, restarted everything, rechecked settings, and tried different networks. Nothing works. This is extremely frustrating. Why is there not a fix for this that actually works? Has anyone been able to find a way to watch purchased movies on the AppleTV airplayed from a Mac??

I don't have a solution nor does it seem anyone else. I am on Apple TV Gen2 and there seems no point upgrading to Gen4 if you experience the same problems. My only solution so far is to walk away from Apple and I now use Amazon Prime on my TV and watch iTunes stuff on my computer. Until Apple fixes this I will not spend a dime/penny with iTunes. In my opinion the only way to get any IT company to do anything is to stop supplying them with money. I may never return to iTunes for new stuff who knows.

The problem occurred after Mojave 10.14.3 and as far as I know you will have to go back and re-install the Mojave 10.14.3 OS. It will take some hours but you will be able to air play your purchased movies via Air Play on Apple TV 2.

Tip when restoring from bootable disk do select Partition the main drive (prior to install new OS) and select the OS X Extended Journaled volume, otherwise you will end up where you where before with Mojave 10.14.5.

Once 10.14.3 is installed, then migrate the last backup from Time machine.

This worked for me and I'm really pleased I can now Air Play all my movies.

Same problem. Thanks for the quick fix.

What is the solution to this? I have the same issue. I cannot play any of my movies since upgrading Mojave to 10.14.4.

Did you solve this? I have an Apple TV 3 and I can't get a solution to work either. Home sharing is playing audio but no video.

I am having this exact same issue. I hope there is a fix for this! I have a large selection of movies that I watch through Airplay and this would really suck if this does not work like it used to!

What quick fix ? I don't see how this has been permanently fixed at this point ?
