Bug AirPlay Only sound since iOS 9

HEllo


i updated my iPhone 5 and iPad 4th generation yesterday. Since I did that, I have issues with AirPlay on my ATV 2. It's running on 5.2. I cannot stream video. When I do I can only hear the sound. Is it an iOS 9 bug ? I think so because yesterday on iOS 8, everything was fine...

Many 3rd-party AirPlay-Receivers like Kodi or Airtight (on Amazon Fire TV/Stick) have the same problem now being recognized only as audio receivers instead of video as they are properly with iOS8. Is there a customer solution for this or do we have to wait for every 3rd-party developer to update its AirPlay-protocols? Can they easily update?

FIXED. I had the same issue with ATV 2 and iOS 9 on iPad mini 2. The "Update" (from Apple TV) didn't work for me either, so I had to fully restore it to factory settings through iTunes. You have to disconnect everything from the back of your ATV, then, with a USB cable, connect it to your PC or Mac running the latest iTunes. I followed "Restore your apple tv in iTunes" here: Restore your Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) - Apple Support . This fixed the "audio only from iOS 9" issue.

IOs9 many problems. IPhone 6 Plus A1522;


- warm more than normal (ios8);

- Some apps show's to much problem to run, and compatible.

- My AirPlay don't give option to do the mirror;

- the first time to do a call, the olhar people in the Liane can't hear, like a Mute mode ( I had to reset the phone to do a call);

- Signal isn't stable, before the comum sinal was 4 pontos... Now, with ios9 2 or 3.;

- slow motion, the transitions among app Or to do some works, exemple to open a slide show at key note or numbers;


I'm really diasapointed with iphone 6 Plus with ios9. I don't like and don't recomend my friends or family to upgrade the software.

only problems, Now I have to send my phone to techinical assistment, spent my time and money to Go to nearly placar, without phone,...

Just to add to the noise - same thing - so glad I found this post even just to confirm that I haven't screwed up something with wifi, amplifier, television, cables, etc, etc. Upgraded to iOS9, now the Airplay symbol for my Apple TV appears different and when I use it, the video plays on the device being used to "send" it, but the audio goes to the Apple TV.


Updated Apple TV 2. Didn't work. Then did full restore. Didn't work. %^&*(*&^&*&*^!!!!!!!

With Notes it works on 6s if you Hard Press what you searched. By reading your needs for IOS Notes I did same thing for many years but then discovered Last Pass, I have since installed Last pass and store all my notes there. They are encrypted and appear on any device you have the app installed. This is also searchable. Just a suggestion.

Also Yes My Apple TV does not work any more but my iphone 6 with IOS 8 works perfectly.

Same problem. iPhone 5 with latest iOS 9.1 update.


Just did a factory restore on Apple TV 2. I did the restore through the menu and not by plugging device into iTunes if this matters?


ATV2 running the same 6.2.1 software as it was when I was having the issues before.


When playing video from safari, AirPlay cuts out when screen auto locks or manually locked. "Fix" is to turn off auto lock on phone which is a pain.


Any other ideas? Is there a difference between an Apple TV menu restore vs. iTunes restore?

I've got 50+ Apple TVs at my location and I was running into the same problem. If my devices were seeing the Apple Tv they were only doing audio. The fix I found is make sure your devices are all updated to the latest firmware. Then on the Apple TV change the name. I found that any device using numbers in the name, i.e. room numbers, would never mirror. After changing the name set the airplay to display an onscreen password. Restart the Apple TV and you should be able to mirror video now.
