One possibility is that the website has blocked airplay. If you know how to inspect the webpage and you see the following in the video player tag it means the web developers have explicitly blocked airplay:


x-webkit-airplay="deny"

I am using an Apple TV 4k 2022 software tvOS 16.1.1 (20k80). I am attempting to airplay and/or mirror from an iPhone 13 Pro Max software 16.1.1 When I attempt to airplay and/or mirror I get a blank black screen on my television with a red 'prohibited' symbol: circle with a diagonal slash, same as original question in this thread. Fox Sports 1 app will not work, other media apps will not work. YouTube works.

Usually I can mirror shows just fine. But if I change the usual sequence of turning the function on I get the red prohibition sign as well. And once it's there it won't go away. I may log out, unplug etc. but the circle will be there. A few weeks later, when I try again, it suddenly works again. Strange, eh? My cell as well as the apple box are always up to date.

This is really puzzling: it works and then it doesn't and then after some abstinence it woks again.....

I don't know what you mean by settings/video audio. On the iPhone or on the Apple TV? And exactly where in those devices?


I tried changing the resolution on the Apple TV to 1080p, and that didn't work. On the iPhone, if you mean change the resolution in the app that is playing the video (in my case SVT), there is no option to change the resolution. Is there another place to change the resolution on the iPhone?
