Airplay stops

No not really, however if you were to try your equipment on someone elses network in another location you will likely find it works just fine, which is why I believe it's YOUR network that has the problem. Yes others experience issues from time to time, although it's not as common as your ridiculous suggestion, some discover it was their networks all along, others like you refuse to accept this and so far as I know likely never resolve the problem because they are looking in the wrong place. Before I go let me remind you there are more parts to YOUR network than just the wifi.

What exactly did I suggest? Let me restate my main query: if my WiFi is the problem, why does it send HiDef video that needs thousands of times more bandwith, through every app on ATV perfectly, but can't Airplay local mp3's from iTunes when, iMac and ATV are on the same Wifi signal as the cable modum? (The cable modum IS the Wi-Fi, but I've tried with a separate Netgear Wi-Fi as well.) Again, I'd love to hear a reasonable answer.

I'll put it even more simply. How could a bugged-up network send Hi-Def video perfectly? What exactly would the difference be between cable modum source and iMac iTunes source. (Besides iTunes being broken. I take it back about it definitely being ATV. iTunes, though it's getting better, has been in feature bloat funkytown since I can remember.) If you answer that I'll issue a full apology.

One more question. Let's say there is an innate difference between how iTunes works on Wi-Fi that would be no problem if set up in another location. When all my other devices work fine with the Wi-Fi RIGHT HERE, how does that not lead to the conclusion iTunes is not up to snuff? Is making products comparably impervious to others in preventing interference not a responsibility of a design staff? But no, the onus is on us to work out all the problems they should have. Same way Apple puts out buggy / under-tested updates and uses first adopters as de facto beta testers. (Including an iOS update that fried my iPhone 4S's Wi-Fi antennae. Google that one and get back to me on how that's also my responsibility to work out. I found Apple's favorite solution: buy a new iPhone. If I wasn't dug in with Apple equiptment it would have been a Samsung.)

My humble advice: don't waste your time on deniers. iTunes and Airplay have always been full of bugs, inconsistencies and unexpected behaviors. But, as usual, with iTunes Apple prefers to use a nice make-up instead of radical surgery. The product has always been disastrous and the only change along all these years is the way it looks like but not the way it works. Lots of persons have the same issues you and I have explained but, still, for some persons is "a problem with your network"... It's a copy of the typical answer you get when calling for support to your cable or Internet company...

Airplay issues started with me when I added some homekit devices. iPhone X keeps cutting airplay from safari or just doesnt start from other apps. Good old iPad air works. Next iOS is going to focus on all kinds of bugs to be fixed I heard. Hope thats the case, because iP4 was the best Apple product and reason for me to go all in with Apple. Since that, every software seem to have problems. It just works should be the frase again asap...

Definitely Bug with update, Airplay use to work previously when locking iPhone. Now as soon as you lock or go to home screen air play stops.

Workaround is after Airplay, switch to other tab and then lock phone. This seems to keep Airplay working.

Note : If you receive text message Airplay will again stop

I was frustrated by this issue as well. My son found a post that suggested a different application was seizing the AirPlay interface when the iDevice locks. This appears to be the case - I stopped all applications that may have been running in the background and the problem has gone away. At this stage have not been able to identify the culprit app, but quitting all apps except the player you are trying to use seems to work.

Typical answer... “let’s blame the WiFi”...

And why do you suppose that is? 😁

Bugs? Or you are going to tell us that apple software is "free of bugs" too? Read the other posts and you will notice that the problems reported are not related to wifi issues...

Really???? Still blaming the network? As we say in my country, the worst blind is who doesn’t want to see...

Why does Apple TV stop mirroring after a couple of minutes on my iphone
