Q: Airplay icon disapears and comes back every minute

Since 10.11.4 Airplay icon disapears und comes back, disapears...(every minute) when the Apple TV 4 is in standby. If i turn on AppleTV 4 there is no problem. The Problem is, when AppleTV4 is in standby, Mac OSX is searching all the time i think.

Airplay modus is off. (Mac i7)

My problem is to watch TV with my eyetv. In the standby case of the AppleTV4 it is stuttering every minute when the Airplay icon disapears or comes back.

Think a Bug in 10.11.4 or tvOS?

    First, open System Preferences -> Displays, and make sure that the option "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" is ticked. If it is ticked, untick and tick it. Note that you can also try choosing your Apple TV there next to "AirPlay Mirroring" to check that it shows up correctly.

    Thank you for your answer.

    But this is not the problem.

    If the Apple TV is in standby-mode or off, the airplay icon disapears and comes back all the time.

    Think is a always searching for the AppleTV. AppleTV on and the problem is gone.

    Unticking "Show airplay icon" in System Preferences is no help, still the same problem.

    And if the AppleTV is off, i can't watch with my eyetv controller TV on the Mac, because the picture and sound is stuttering all the time.

    Just tapping the AppleTV on, the problem is gone on my Mac.

    Very strange.
