AirPlay No Longer Working

I use Plex to stream through an Apple TV using AirPlay. Plex app shows the spinning loading wheel but nothing plays. Screen Mirroring still works but AirPlay is broken.


I’ve reset all devices with no success. Could it have anything to do with the latest iOS update? Both Apple TV boxes I’ve replicated it on are a few years old.

In order to have a true comparison I would suggest testing with another video source. If that also works then it indicates that the issue may be specific to Plex. You could then try force quitting the app as well as reinstalling but if it persists you may need to reach out to them for investigation.


If you have an Apple TV HD or 4K then you also have the option to use the native app directly on the Apple TV.
