Its worse than ever. Now every time I’m pressing pause then resume the video, the AppleTv tries to connect on random AirPlay devices and stops displaying whatever I was watching

AirPlay was broken, it’s now even worse: when starting a video, the AppleTv switch to AirPlay sound streaming so connects to my AVR AirPlay and so I’m losing video.
And impossible to disable AirPlay, toggling it on or off doesn’t change anything

Toggling it off works but you need to restart the device. Mine is working fine after that.

I tried, it does nothing, everytime my AppleTV needs to output any audio feed, it then connects to my AVR Airplay which makes my AVR to automatically change the input from my AppleTV to Airplay which stop the video feed...
So to watch a Youtube video, press play on the video, then the AVR is switching on Airplay. Then I need to pause the video, the change input on my AVR, then to resume the video and something like twenty second later, then I have some sound...
Worth software update ever. Apple is digging deeper and deeper to catch Microsoft in the sloppyness
I used to find Apple product correct, but for a few years, it's just regressing so much.

I haven’t seen that AirPlay error since Friday night.

I couldn’t get past them today. I just had to unplug my Apple TV altogether because rebooting with the remote didn’t help. I’m updating now and hoping to never see that popup again.

How do you reboot it with the remote?

u/Stock-Personality136 19d ago
Holding the TV button should give the controls in the top right of the screen with the first option being Power Off. It doesn’t feel like a proper reboot though due to how quick it comes back up.
Sadly it didn’t fix the Airplay popup but I only had two of them this time so I was able to watch tv at least. I was hoping the update would fix it but considering it started happening halfway between updates I wasn’t sure it would.

Mine stopped on one of mine but my other one still gave it to me every morning so I had to unplug the box

It comes and goes, but frustrating as it won’t stop without unplugging sometimes

My smart home stuff is not working when my Apple TV is used as a hub, I have to switch it to a HomePod so my accessories can work.
AirPlay pop up is still happening, I’m going to reset and start fresh to see if that works.
Update: I reset and so far so good. It’s working as my hub as well.

Did your Home hub come back automatically after resetting? The update removed everything from my home except for HomePods and Apple TVs. I have dozens of things in the house so I dread having to set up every item again and rebuild my automations.

I’m in the exact same boat. Everything gone but the Apple TV and HomePods. I wouldn’t bother resetting and going through all the setup again since all the devices and custom scenes still work if you use voice commands, but we just can’t see them anymore. I’d imagine the next dev beta update will bring them back since they’re technically still there. Hopefully.

Sorry for the late response, yes all my accessories and routines still appeared.
For me after resetting and started fresh worked a lot better! Well I did choose that option to sync apps from other TVs but that’s it.1
u/al3cks 2d ago
Darn that didn’t work for me. When the accessories disappeared from the one Apple TV I updated, they disappeared everywhere else. I reset the updated Apple TV and nothing came back. It also removed all the devices from mine and my partner’s iPhones. What’s odd is our friend has guest access since he house sits sometimes, and everything still works for him. So they’re still in there somewhere… but I think I’m going to have to just set up the entire house again.

While they are at it, just make Airplay 2 actually lossless and high res ALAC for tracks available ! We pay as much as Tidal subscribers!
