I'm using cloudFront lambda to encrypt urls and AVURLAssetHTTPHeaderFieldsKey through md5 token to decrypt it with AVPlayer.
The problem is that AVPlayer is working fine but when trying to cast the video with AirPlay, it flashs for a second then nothing is casted.
Thanks,

My handoff/airplay devices are iPad Pro 2020(iPadOS 14.2),iPhone X(iOS 14.2),MacBook Pro2019 (Big Sur11.0.1) and apple tv.
iPad Pro and iPhone X can detect handoff from each other;But they both can't detect handoff from MacBook Pro(Big Sur11.0.1).
Same case in airplay. But it can detect apple tv.
I've tried all troubleshooting in all devices.

The isMuted - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avsamplebufferaudiorenderer/2866177-ismuted and volume - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avsamplebufferaudiorenderer/2866179-volume are used to set volumes of player.
I tried to mute audio playing by setting isMuted to true and volume to 0.0. it doesn't work when the HomePod is the audio output device using AirPlay, but if it works on iPhone speaker output.
How should I mute the audio when using AirPlay device as audio output?

Hi,
I'm having problems getting the correct reported status of an AVAudioSession when using AirPlay. From what I've read, I should be able to query the portType from AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().currentRoute but when AirPlaying from the device I'm using, the output seems to be Speaker. When I test with bluetooth, the correct value of BluetoothA2DPOutput is returned. Is this intentional, or am I doing something wrong?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
I am experiencing problems with homekit scenes which include audio playback.
For example: Homekit scene: Play music on sonos in the kitchen. Change color of lights.
Whenever this scene is triggered, while my 2 Apple TV's are sleeping, one of them turns on and also turns on the TV via a HDMI-CEC signal. This shouldn't happen when the Apple TV is used as a AirPlay Proxy.
Does anyone else experience the same behavior on tvOS 14(.2)?
This bug is present in tvOS 14 and 14.2 beta. tvOS 13 didn't had this bug.
My current workaround is: Disable Homekit hub functionality on one of the Apple Tv's
Disable the CEC connection on the remaining Apple TV

I have a plan to develop an iOS app which will offer streaming videos to TV devices using Airplay and Google Cast protocols. Once video will be playing on TV, user could leave my app and do other things with the phone (writing emails, listening to the music, etc.) and video will still be playing on the TV. In the meantime app needs to download and prepare next video in the background and once first video ends, start streaming next video. This could go on for many hours: while user uses his/her iPhone for other tasks, my app should be active in the background and constantly download and stream videos one by one (kind of a never ending playlist). Videos that will be streamed have only picture and no audio.
Based on my research and understanding I think that way to achieve this is:) Turn on background modes in Xcode project capabilities and select "Audio, Airplay, and Picture in Picture". This will enable my app to work in background.
) Set category of AVAudioSession in my app to AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback and it's mode to AVAudioSessionModeMoviePlayback. This will enable my app to constantly process new videos in background and stream them to TV.
I am not sure if this is correct way to implement my requirements. Testing showed that it works as required, but I am not sure if it is ok to use AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback category, because app actually doesn't have any audio playing, just videos without any sound. I am worried that there could be problems in Apple app review process.
Does anyone know or have experience with such scenario? Is it ok to use AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback category in your apps for videos without audio? I couldn't find anything about it in Apple documentation.

Apple Mac Mini computer with the new Apple Silicon M1 processor and Big Sur 11.0.1, I try to connect it by Airplay to duplicate the screen, the computer detects the TV but when I press the Airplay option, the Sony television turns black with the screen and nothing is seen nor duplicates anything.
With the same television a week ago I was using a Mac Mini from the end of 2012 and it worked perfectly.
Today with another Macbook Air computer from 2014 and an iPhone from 2018 it works perfectly.
I do not know if it is a problem with the new Apple chip or that the television needs a new update for this new processor.
Anyone having the same problem? or do you know what might be happening?

Hi All,
Our VP recently purchased the newest Macbook Pro - it's running the latest version of Big Sur.
Each time he tries to airplay to a Samsung TV it immediately signs him out.
I tried:
Resetting network settings on TV
Resetting Paired devices on TV
Rebooting Computer/TV
Making Sure Computer/TV were up to date
I am able to airplay from Cellphone to TV
Thank you for the support.

When will the Airplay issue be resolved in Big Sur. I cannot use Airplay anymore to connect to my Samsung TV. It just says 'Off' under Display Settings and cannot be changed

Would it be possible for Apple to explain why you decided to remove the option to make Airplay speakers the default output? If it's for legal reasons then it will most probably never come back so I'll return my Apple TV which I puchased exactly because I knew it would allow me to play everything (not just some specific apps) through my Sonos Play 1 speakers. Thank you

We have a theater with wired surround sound. To use Apple TV we have the 4K Apple TV airplay audio to our older Apple TV because that one has the audio output that connects to our surround sound system. When Apple removed the audio output on the 4K we had to find a solution & it’s worked great until 14.2 pushed through. We have tried looking under the settings and no longer there. We also tried the upper right button on the remote as others found their devices under the Airplay there. Our Apple TV is not there either though. We can use our iPhones to the old Apple TV and Airplay but the Apple TV 4K can not see it. Any solutions for us? What are people to do who don’t have tv’s but existing projector theater setups? We’ve lost hours on this issue. Would be very helpful to still have an audio output in future devices as not everyone uses wireless. Right now neither Apple TV are any good to us without audio & are looking at switching away from Apple - want to get these working if possible.

I am using extended screen on my MacBook Pro with Max OS 11.0.1 (Big Sur) - lately upgraded.
The error: in MS Teams, when the other participants are sharing their screen, I cannot see it (but Teams application clearly switches) - this worked before the update to Big Sur
Minecraft: Education Edition (I've installed after upgrading to Big Sur): window stays gray (standard background color in dark mode).
Both issues are not present, when I use the external screen as screen duplicate.
The external screens, I have tested with: an old appleTV via airplay
a newer appleTV via ariplay
a HP27 screen via docking station (Minecraft not tested on this one)
If I start either of those programs BEFORE I extend my screen, everything works fine.
I guess you can call it a bug in Big Sur?!?!

My Apple TV is detected using AirPlay in Big Sur but it is not being detected in Xcode nor is it being detected on the Apple TV. Anyone else having this issue?
I need to deploy an app I am developing to the Apple TV but can not since I am running Apple TV 4K HDR

I have just been with Apple support for almost 4 hours, with screen shot support from a senior advisor. Side car is not working, My Ipad Pro with current operating system and Macbook Pro with current operating system will not connect in sidecar. The senior Adviser has told me that "unfortunately" This is a known issue and that I will just have to wait for Apple engineers to fix this in an OS update, with no ETA of when this will occur. My question is: Is there any work-around for this issue? (like rolling back my OS to an earlier version). I specifically bought this Apple equipment for the Sidecar function.
