When streaming with screen mirroring active, audio comes through but no video. When I turn off mirroring, the video appears. This happens when streaming Netflix, Prime, recorded programming on my cable account, etc The only exception seems to be youtube videos. I have turned mirroring on/off repeatedly and checked that firewall is off.
Ideas appreciated!
Thank you,
MacBook Air 13″

It sounds like you're having trouble mirroring content from your device. We can help.
More than likely the reason is due to Digital Rights Management, or DRM, of the content you're trying to mirror. Content that is protected under DRM generally gets filtered out, and cannot be shared except in the manner the content owner allows.
This would explain why you can see YouTube videos, which are shared by individuals, but not be able to see shows or movies which are owned by studios who make money by offering the content through their streaming services.
If you still have questions, you can connect with Apple directly using either http://getsupport.apple.com or if you're in a region without direct support options, you can also Contact Apple for support and service.
Hope that helps.
Take care.
