Problem with Airplay through QuickTime to Samsung smart tv

Mortenlm — Sat, 21 Sep 2019 15:18:03 GMT

Does Samsung series 7 smart tv with airplay support airplay through QuickTime on Mac?

it works fine if I directly mirror then screen, but if I try the airplay function through QuickTime then it only shows the connect screen on tv and the movie won’t start in QuickTime on the Mac.

i have succedeed with typing the connection code and normal mirroring works fine

I have noticed the same problem. When streaming through my old Apple TV, I found that playing directly from Quicktime (rather than mirroring the whole screen) provided much, much better streaming. Would be nice to see that feature supported natively by Samsung.

I have the same issue with my Q90R TV. Mirroring the screen is so laggy. I would really love to see direct video playback support on the TV.

I have the same issue on a UE55RU7400 airplays just fine using youtube etc but won't play anything through quicktime player, really frustrating as most of what I want to airplay in the first place is through that particular player and all I get is the black airplay screen. Looks like are have to go back to using my apple tv box which kind of defeats the whole point of having airplay on the tv in the first place.

Same issue with

QN82Q60RAFXZA

I just have a 'connect to Samsung' screen my iPhone works perfectly, screen mirroring on all devices, seems like it may be a quick time issue, when I first used the TV it worked with QuickTime so I might need to back date my QuickTime, I'll report back if I have any luck.

Update, I used AppleTV app on my iMac and it plays as a separate display without mirroring, reinforcing the fact its QuickTime at fault here, Catalina won't allow you to change Quicktime Player version so I'm not sure what else to do. I opened the .mp4 in the AppleTV app and thought this was a solve but an error message came up saying it can't be streamed to this device. So close

The fact AppleTV stopped the stream due to file format made me think it may be a proprity restriction, I tried a movie I took on my iPhone and that didnt work so its not that either, I tried Quicktime with .mov and AppleTV app, neither worked

Exactly the same problem, glad I've narrowed just to QuickTime as the screen mirroring or separate screen AirPlay option works just fine but I imagine it's bandwidth is even higher considering it's sending all the pixels from the desktop which are unnecessary. Let's put this as a QT problem.

Any solutions to the problem?

What I ended up doing was downloading

Elmedia:universal video player

this had airplay built in so I just bypassed QuickTime. I didn’t post as it’s a workaround that costs and I’m sure there must be a better solution. Good luck.

I suggest trying Elmedia:universal video player for free and then investing $14.99 if it works, it plays many more files than QT, it has many more codecs and on some movies it can apply subtitles. And I’m pretty sure I can use my apple remote just like QT, I can check this if you need me to, just let me know. Worth the money in my opinion especially after spending $3k on a TV, it was minor in comparison.

Can you stream to Samsung TV using Elmedia? I just purchased the Elmedia and it detects my Samsung TV as Airplay device but doesn't stream anything to it - the spinner keeps spinning only

Same problem here. Trying to stream QuickTime Player from MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014) to Samsung Q60. I can mirror the screen using AirPlay, but doesn't work from QT. One thing I noticed: The AirPlay selector in QT shows my TV as "Samsung Q60 Series" while the TV is asking me to choose "Samsung Q60 Series (43)." I get the two screens shown below but when I hit play nothing happens.

I have the exact same issue and have been searching high and low for a solution. I initially thought it was the ISP/router with an issue. I can stream from safari, and mirror but can't share via Quicktime. Alas I'm sure I used to before I moved, and changed interest providers. Not sure if that is something to explore.

It's driving me mad, and seems like a bug.
