How do i use Peer-to-peer AirPlay discovery and playback?

Problem solved. I have a third generation Apple TV - not Rev A. The model number, A1427 in printed on the bottom of the Apple TV. The model number of the Rev A is A1469. I'm out of luck, sadly.

The reboot worked, as I couldn't select "Airplay" after the software update. I thought it had to do something with the firmware on my AV receiver, but that didn't change things. After the reboot, everything worked. Thanks!

I had the same issue but it seems the airplay option has moved out of the app and into the OS. It is available for any (?) app through the control center now.

I am having the exact same issue, I have an Ipad mini and two atvs, I can't figure this out at all, can anyone help? Thanks?

From what I can tell, this is essentially vapor-ware. I can get it to work intermittently. Any downloaded iTune movie will not play, apparently god-forbid, we play a movie that we legitimately "bought" and Apple does not trust us to play it on our Apple device unless they can see it playing. I am about over all of this stuff. It does not work as advertised.

Of course 2 minutes after posting this, it started working. I have bluetooth turned off on the Apple TV now. The wifi is on but not locked into a network. I do not even have the wifi on, but not connected to any internet connection. I am not sure if there is some handshake or what that needs to happen.

Well, it might have been nice if Apple had actually checked to make sure it worked. This is two hours I will not get back in life. Earlier today I called AppleCare and they did not even know what I was talking about. Nice huh?

After another hour I found that you have to enable the airplay feature on the apple tv, then activate the wifi then bluetooth on the ipad. I got an unknown error 3 when trying to play a movie from the iTunes store. I guess they crippled playing the movie unless you are in contact with the iTunes store. This was a waste of time and effort. Very disappointing. Why have mobile features if you cannot be mobile?

Steve, you could try doing what I did. I zoomed in using my iPhone camera and took a picture. Pretty expensive magnifying glass but it worked. There is nothing in the menus that would indicate which version of ATV one might have. The use of the ATV without a network would be a great idea if they would have either tested it to make sure it worked, or they would have told us the magic formula on how to make it work. Until they do that, you likely are not missing anything. Good luck.

Sounds kind of crazy, huh? Have you figured this out yet?
