When viewing content (mainly apps that use apples native player Infuse, Netflix, etc.) the playback randomly stops/app crashes and I get:
AirPlay
Unable to connect to “<Unknown>”
Ive disabled AirPlay on the Apple TV but still get this error. Could this be a multicast issue on my network? I’ve replaced the Apple TV but still have the same problem. The Apple TV is connected via Ethernet.
Apple TV 4K (2nd generation)
Same issue but happens only when I first turn on the AppleTV device. When I hit OK the message repeats and the "<Unknown>" is replaced by the AppleTV device name. This started happening only recently, after automatic upgrade to tvOS 18.3. It's as if the AppleTV is trying to AirPlay to itself, which makes no sense.
Same issue. Happens when I’m watching on multiples atv apps. Usually it happens when the content is paused. Crashes the app completely, or just closes out the video being watched and often resets my progress.
Yep, same, get it in Apple Music, just randomly pops up.
I did a factory reset and don't run other apps in the background, still get this behaviour.
Not sure if there is an Airplay setting to circumvent this, but this just looks like a bug.
I get this error when listening to Apple Music. It's very frustrating. Playback stops and the error displays.
Same here - happens when I pause Infuse quite a lot, usually coming back from screen saver - app appears to be force quit as a consequence
Apple TV keeps trying to connect to unknown
