Use soundbar to stream video to Apple TV

Hello,

I have a projector with an Apple TV 4k connected.

My idea is: if I buy a soundbar with Airplay, having HDMI ports in, could I stream from the bluray player to the soundbar to the Apple TV with Airplay?

Something like:

  • Bluray player ---- HDMI ---- Soundbar
  • Soundbar ----- Airplay ---- Apple TV
  • Apple TV ----- HDMI ----- Projector


Thank you!

Fabio

No, that will not work. Soundbars that support AirPlay, are AirPlay receivers (and audio only), not senders.
