Apple TV airplay video choppy

UPDATE:

So I used a new High Speed HMDI cable and that didn’t help.

I do notice the closer my phone is to Apple TV the better it is.

Which put phone further away from router.

By the way, in my original post it’s supposed to read “video SHOT with my phone”

So when I want to type **** the Autocorrect makes it “shot”.

And when I want to say shot, it autocorrects it to “****”. Story of my life.

Router is about a year old

Maybe 15months

Checked firmware, it’s up to date

Apple TV sand Router and phone all in living room within 15ft of each other.

Only thing on network is smart tv, and one other iPhone

Nothing else to speak of in the house to interfere that I can think of

Well no luck getting a report

I have a PC

The tried istumbler, that only works on Mac.

The netstumbler was trying to install weird stuff and I canceled it. Again, I have a PC and don’t wanna risk infecting my computer downloading something weird I’ve never heard of.

I connected the Apple TV to Ethernet and it was still doing same thing.

It’s almost like the Apple TV doesn’t have the horsepower to process video through AirPlay like that.

It plays ok. But when there’s motion or panning it hangs up and it’s jerky. Not smooth like it is on my iPhone.

I’ll see if I can try that. I’ve never fooled with home sharing.

I absolutely despise iTunes so I only use it when I have to.

Surely Apple can come up with a better idea than iTunes.

It’s such a pain in the *** to get a photo or video on your device.

You have to create s folder, sync phone with iTunes. Then if I want to remove it, I have to remove photo from folder resync. It’s ridiculous.

My work around for years on images has been email them to myself and then save image to camera roll 🙄

I wouldn’t have another phone, but I sure do wish apple would ditch the old method of intubes and sync for everything

Music always gets screwed up when I sync.

Also wondered if it could be a setting within router or something.

Like DNS or channel etc. Or changing the setting 802.xx setting.

I’ve read some stuff somewhere where people were changing that.

I just don’t know what to do once I log on to router

Ok, update:

I figured out it’s not the router at all.

I figured out you don’t even need the router to airplay from iPhone to ATV. I removed the network and issue still exists.

I have two issues

1) Optical Image stabilizer when video with iPhone and panning is jerky while airplaying.

Not sure why but it does. All other movement in the video is fluid.

2) Lag or buffering. If I open a video and click play immediately it hangs like it’s buffering. I think it has to load some video first.

But if I give it a minute it plays without hanging.

Also noticed once the video(from GoPro) has already played through, and I click play again it’s fine.

So my thinking is, the ATV4 hardware is borderline too slow for the high bitrate video to play through airplay.

Maybe the 4K version will be faster and smoother...

Still need to figure it why the iPhone video is notchy when panning only on airplay

So basically the internet speed means nothing?

Airplay connects to router and connects to device via router?

So the only thing that could interfere would be signal interference?

My Router is a Century’s link 802.11n router

Surely the router is capable right?

Also I did see where there was a fix disabling WMM. That made it worse on mine

Yeah I was thinking of trying Ethernet to Apple TV just to see if it helped.

Problem is, router stuck on one side of room, Apple TV and TV on the other. Won’t reach I’m affraid
