Configuration error - error code (-71163)

Hi,

when I’m configuring AirPlay 2 connection between Apple TV 4K

and iPad Air 2 (IOS11.4) by Bluetooth I’m getting this code error (-71163).

Does anyone know what this code error means?

Just figured this out! I got this error, too. But I bet like me, you had deleted the Home app from your iPhone? Reinstall the Home app on your iPhone and try to set up Airplay 2 on your Apple TV again. It just worked for me.

Hi,

Yes I know, but I wrote connection configuration and not the connection my phone with Apple TV by Bluetooth. This ”wizard” is something similar as a function when you want to connect the AirPods to your phone or ipad. The instruction how to do this is displayed on Apple TV screen: Settings->AirPlay->Select Room (second option).
