AirPlay doesn't work with Apple TV home hub enabled

I haven't been able to use AirPlay from my iPhone to Apple TV for the past 3-4 months. Actually, no AirPlay devices in the house work (Apple and 3rd party). When I use a media application, such as YouTube and attempt to cast a video via AirPlay, the play/pause button appears to be unresponsive. Nothing plays. Screen mirroring works, but when full-screen videos attempt to handoff, videos never actually play.


After extensive troubleshooting (restarts, updates, restarting network equipment, toggling AirPlay on and off, etc.), I found that disabling Home Hub fixes AirPlay (which breaks my automations, as I don't have another hub). For whatever reason, disabling home hub also fixes non-Apple AirPlay connections (such as smart TVs with built-in AirPlay).


Has anyone else experience this? What steps am I missing?

Apple TV 4K (1st generation)

Hello rytymusic!


I’m assuming you’ve already tried the troubleshooting steps found in: If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device - Apple Support?


As mentioned in the Support Article above, if you still have issues with AirPlay after trying all the steps suggested to you, please Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support.


I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!
