Airplay from iPhone to AppleTV disconnects when screensaver starts

The topic says it all.

iOS 15.4.1

tvOS 15.4

Anyone have a solution other than deactivating the screensaver?

My Apple TV box is on tvOS 15.4.1 since about a month. Update your Apple TV - Apple Support


Are you using AirPlay for audio (music), for video, or something else (e.g. photos)? Is the streamed content local to the iPhone, or from an online source?

The screen saver should not start when AirPlay is in progress. The idle timer should start after AirPlay has stopped (i.e. the screen saver should then start minutes later).


Try restarting the Apple TV box.

If the issue persists, contact Apple Support.
