airplay

I thought some might find interest in this recent project of mine. I have two of Apple's long-discontinued Airport Express (v1) devices that I've used over the years to stream music from my Mac or iOS devices to two different bookshelf systems in the house via WiFi and the AE's analog audio out...

Hi, I have an old Apple TV 3,1 running 5.3 that is not working with Catalina 10.15.7 for airplay. Just wanted to see if anyone had any ideas. I'll be jailbreaking it in the next few days and will post updates if I get it working. *Update...

Alright, I have no idea where to ask or where to post this so I made an account just for this. Hopefully, we can figure it out! I have a late 2013 MacBook pro it is currently on Catalina. I also have the 2018?2019? iPad pro that's updated fully. My friend was showing me how to use airplay to...

I have this ATV3 that I use in my home office *only* to stream via airplay audio/video to a non-4K TV with a soundbar. typical use is airplaying Spotify or AppleMusic from an iPad or use TV as 3rd monitor for my iMac (2nd monitor via thunderbolt). especially in this latest scenario I often...

I have two second gen. Airport Express configured to join my (non Apple) wireless network. Their only use is as AirPlay audio outputs. The units themselves function fine, (confirmed by playing audio from my iPhone), but I am now unable to switch audio output to either of the boxes from, for...

I have 3 homepods. 2x in my living room as a stereo pair 1x in my office when I’m in my living room i say “hey Siri play *song” music then starts playing on all homepods. I can’t get it to stop doing this. Every time I ask Siri to play a song or radio it plays everywhere. Even after i...

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this or it’s a basic question - I’ve googled but can’t find the answer. If I rip a cd at a high bitrate (say, Apple Lossless) and load it directly to my iPhone 11 Pro, then send via Airplay to an Airport Express connected via optical to an external DAC...

Hi. I have an airport extreme and airport express. I use VLC on an old iPad connected to a projector at one side of the room, which uses airplay to stream the audio across to the other side of the room to the airport express connected to a Sony BDV-E370 via an optical cable. The best I can get...

I am considering adding some HomeKit accessories to my sailboat. I currently have a HomePad on it which I can use offshore with AirPlay, but I’m wondering if I can use wifi enabled smart stuff without any internet connection. Can I set up a local network that isn’t connected to the internet, but...

I recall seeing a smoke/co detector that also allowed the speaker to play music via AirPlay. I cannot recall which brand. Any ideas or suggestions? Currently have Nest models which are fine but wouldn't mind upgrading.

✅ Resolved: The 10.15.4 Supplemental Update resolved the problem. Since updating to 10.15.4 I can no longer use my iPad in Sidecar mode or over AirPlay, as the color profile rendering distorts as soon as the second display connects. Manually choosing different profiles shows momentary...

Anyone else experiencing issues trying to Airplay from Music App on Mac with the iheart stations? Anything else from Music plays fine to my AppleTV which I have connected to a AMP, but when I try to play an iheart radio station it only plays through the Mac.

Are there any tricks to get Airdrop in an older MBA (mid-2011 High Sierra 10.13.6) to actually function properly? Wife and I both have same Mid-2011 MBA running strong, so no need to upgrade. These MBA's have always had Airdrop listed under Finder Favorites, but it's rarely worked properly. I...

I captured a video to show the behavior (follow the link above; this shows it failing on my iPhone and working on my iPad) This has been a problem for several versions of iOS13 now (strangely it works fine on iPadOS), and it is driving me insane. I tend to cast video from YouTube to my AppleTV...

Hello, how are you doing? Since a few days a random Apple TV shows up in the list of output devices for sound on my Mac. Now, I was already wondering why my AV receiver showed up in the output devices without me connecting my mac to it but I figured that it is because it is connected to the...

Hi, My MacBook Pro is connected to Sonos Speakers via AirPlay. Unfortunately, every time when my Mac goes to sleep and wakes up again, it changes the internal speaker as default speaker. Is there a way to force my Mac to always use AirPlay speakers as default speaker? Furthermore, is it possible...
