Airplay won't fast forward only goes to beginning of video

When I stream via air play, I can’t fast forward the video? It just go back to the beginning.

Yes I think everybody had the same issue around August, and still no problem-fix from @Apple. A temporary solution: go to settings>general>airplay & handoff>automatically airplay to TVs>never. Now you can mirror your video and fully control it from your iPhon or iPad (fast forward, rewind, continue watching from where you stopped, etc…) but your device has to be on all the time which is battery consuming.

While I appreciate AzizAlmarji's work-around, it's frustrating that this issue is now marked "Solved"!! It is definitely NOT solved. I have a variety of Apple devices... AppleTV's (4K, 4K Gen2, HD), TV's w/Airplay 2 support (Samsung Frame, Sony Bravia), iPhone XS, iPad Pro, MacBook Pro (2020), this Airplay problem appears to happen between ALL devices! (ALL devices are on the latest firmware/software.)


Frustrating that this has gone on for 2 months now, and NOTHING from Apple, not even recognition that the problem exists.

Interesting that you found something that DOES work. When I discovered the issue one day, I went to a variety of sites/providers (including… APPLE) and experienced the same issue across all. So unless the variety of providers are all sharing underlying software/infrastructure that ALL changed at the same time, I still expect it’s an Apple issue to acknowledge and resolve.


Still… silence. Nothing.


I can no longer sing praises of the Apple ecosystem or purchase Apple products (e.g. AppleTV’s) for myself or holiday gifts. Such a shame when a strong company starts losing it.
