MacBook M1 Pro Airplay to LG WebOS QNED TV not working

Im having this exact same issue with my 2025 LG QNED93, even after trying all of these steps:

• Switch to “Extended Display”, turn HDR off, set 1080p/60 (HDR/refresh rate mismatch is a classic cause of black screen despite “connected”)
• macOS firewall: allow built-in Apple services
• Reset AirPlay pairings on the TV + restart
• LG AirPlay menu: full reset + change code policy
• Change network stack on TV (IPv6 toggle) (Some LG users have fixed black-screen/mirroring bugs by enabling/disabling IPv6 in Network)
• Tested both Mac and TV onto 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz to see if video works
• Remove the TV completely from Home (HomeKit) (This resets the AirPlay/HomeKit trust relationship (certificates), which can get stuck per device type)
• Made sure date/time/time zone on the TV is 100% correct (auto)
• Turned off Quick Start+ on LG and restart

It's so odd how it just stopped working. It worked once (only one time).

Most likely a LG issue. I will be contacting their support team to hopefully get some help resolving the problem.

Although from what I’ve read in other forums it doesn’t seem like LG knows what to do about it. I’ll let you know either way.

Hey boss.

So I contacted LG Support team.

They rejected my case and said that since its working on other Apple products (iOS (iPhones and iPads)), the issue wasn't my TV - which of course is BS... as mentioned earlier I had already tried on several Macbooks, none of em worked.

When I got home from work today, my girlfriend told me that the TV had updated its software. Guess what - AirPlay is now working from our Macs as well. 😅

Not sure what to say tbh. Just glad that it's working now. Hoping it will continue working.

Did you try changing the INPUT on the TV to accept airplay input?

Otherwise, the TV will typically be locked on your cable box or antenna, and will not show anything else.

What is a Home Hub?

Is the TV set selected to show airplay input up on the screen, and NOT cable TV box input, Tuner input, or any HDMI input?

what source material are you sending to the TV set?

many streaming services restrict forwarding of their copyrighted streams.

are both devices in range of the same Wi-Fi?

Have you enabled the Firewall on your Mac? you will need to turn that off.

Are you using any VPN software? you will need to Un-Install that junk.

<< • macOS firewall: allow built-in Apple services. >>

As long as you are behind a router you control, the setting for the Mac firewall should be OFF.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough:

macOS-firewall = deactived, no VPN/proxy/filters active.

The Mac sees the TV.

What does LG support have to say about this?
