Why did that work? The site was set to auto, but all of the available options were standards, 240p, 480p, 720p, 1080p. I selected 1080p, and all of a sudden it started working. Why would any of those not be supported on a AppleTV device?

I suspect this is DRM related. I've only seen that tiny red null sign when trying to stream from a www site that streams a few Cable News stations, surrounded by adverts, that people usually pay subscription fees to view.


My Apple TV 4K refuses to play these 'pirate streams' via AirPlay (initiated from MacOS or iPadOS), whereas the native AirPlay 2 receiver on my LG TV cheerfully played it.

Still stuck with 🚫. Just from one particular App on my Apple phone that has worked fine for years until earlier this year.

Tried the suggestion provided above - changing the TV resolution settings, re-started Apple TV device, no luck. On my phone, there does not seem to be an option to change the settings in the App I am trying to stream from but Apps and websites stream just fine.
