Apple TV playback or AirPlay stops randomly
My Apple TV stops randomly during playback of any video, e.g. YouTube, Netflix or even when using AirPlay. Also this happens with iTunes Match music.
For example on Netflix when watching a film, randomly the video will stop and Accessing Netflix will appear and then the film selection will load. This happens when the video appears to be running at 1080p, so doesn't seem to be caused by a drop in speed.
My internet is pretty fast, 150Mbps fibre optic. No other device, iPad Air 2, iPhone 6, Xbox Ome, Sony TV, iPad mini 3 etc etc has any issues.
i've tried the following to resolve the issue:
- Restart
- Reset all settings
- Restore
- Restore using iTunes and mini USB
- Use non GHZ Wi-Fi
- Use 5GHz Wi-Fi
- Use Ethernet
This all seems to have stemmed from around iOS 7 and has gotten worse with iOS 8, to the point I barely use the Apple TV.
Here are details of the model and OS:
- Apple TV Software: 7.2
- Model: A1427 (MD19LL/A)
- OS Build Version: 8.3 (1/F69)
Is there anything I can do to resolve this?
AppleTV 2, iOS 8.3
