Q: IOS 6 airplay problem

- I currently have a iphone 4 and a ipad 2 both updated to ios6. When i am trying to send a video (ie. youtube,netflix ect.)  to my apple tv 2 (from either device) it only plays the sounds (no video) this worked flawless before i updated to ios6. Any ideas?

 

On a side not airplay mirroring does work on my ipad 2 fine, just not normal airplay :/

    iHouseFreak,

    The iPhone 5 is definitely not working "flawlessly".  When I try to AirPlay YouTube videos, all I get is sound.  This is really ******* me off.  The ONLY reason I got Apple TV was to stream YouTube videos to the TV (my wife watches a lot of Chinese videos from YouTube and we often want to watch them on the "big screen" instead of the iPad).  It's like Apple sold me a car and then came into my home during the night and took back then engine!

     

    Yes, I know, there's Jasmine that can be used as a "workaround", but that's not the point.  iOS 6 takes away functionality people paid for!  First the crappy Maps replacymen...and now this :-(

    Well want to laugh? I found another  missing option in iOS 6, it's now impossible to download 1 music from an album in your iCloud music match! you are now forced to download a full album! same if you want to delete a song of an album in your device with iOS 6, you are forced to delete the full album!

    It was working very well in 5.1.1 with the possibility to take full album or just song by song, why Apple remove options to customers is beyond me...

    Well, this one is definitely a bug. Cant be understood nor explained in a different way.

     

    Hope this one (and all the remaining) will be fixed soon.

    can anyone point to a post allowing a 5.1.1 downgrade until 6 is ironed out?

    officially, I suppose it's just a hiccup. it was awesome before, the way all the devices work together seamlessly was why I am such a big fan.  unofficially , see y'all on the other forums that don't get censored.

    It's the app(s) that need to be updated.

     

    This is an Apple support communities and as such no one can speak to hacking a device. If that's what you intend to do then yes, you will need to find another forum.

    All,

     

    I have the same issue too with the YouTube app. I tried with the regular Google app and did a video search and to my surprise the Air Play worked for my youtube video via this Google app. It's just a matter of Google fixing this app, I'm sure we can expect an update very soon.

    well I upgraded my Apple TV 2, had to use MacBook not over the air and I believe most of the functionality is back. and vazandrew seems right it is app specific, if an app developer, PBS radio for example, wants to add airplay functionality are they allowed to? ie is it the developer who decides or apple, can't blame the app if apple doesn't allow?

     

    and yes I do wish I could revert my iPhone to 5.1.1 it keeps crashing I rue restored to iOS 6 as well, subject for another post

     

    one way to get some apps (PBS radio) (puffin browser) to airplay audio,  2 examples, is to start your PBS stream, double click The home button, Swipe to the right until you get to the music controls, Select airplay, And return to the app. It doesn't work on all apps that I found it works on Several.

     

    havnt tested airplay on the phone yet, but I expect it will work.

     

    Thanks to the member that posted the information about updating your Apple TV That seems to have solved my problems thanks.

    Apple releases the tools to developers and then it is up to them to implement

    I received my iPhone 5 today and I tested out AirPlay with ATV. Everything works perfectly fine exept Youtube. Clearly this is Google/Youtube app issue. Jasmine client works fine with AirPlay. I tested the maps navigation as well and it works very well in my city. The Maps does lack the details of Google maps but over time it will get better as Apple invests more money into it. It took google many years to get to where it is today in Maps. When it started out, just as Apple is today, it was as rudimentary as Maps is right now. Ultimately Apple will get it right. I actually like the Yelp integration in search because I get ratings and reviews immediately after a search in Maps. I have no regrets with iOS 6 now after having used it for a few days. Only Youtube AirPlay is the issue for me but I am willing to swalllow the bitter pill and use Jasmine until google updates its app. This is clearly a develpor issue not Apple issue.

    just realized YouTube is native to the Apple TV so why does one need airplay ? it was staring me in the face lol

    It is indeed native to ATV but it is easier to type search on the iOS device and then AirPlay. It is just faster that way. But youa re right that Youtube is inbuilt in ATV and you can seemlessly use it in there. Youtube is also part of many TVs (also Roku) these days so it is pretty much everywhere. It is a minor issue for me now. I feel much better now to see that we do have access to Youtube.
