AirPlay from MacBook to Sony Bravia TV

Hi,

I am trying to connect my MacBook and iPhone11 to my Sony Bravia TV to stream videos and Sky Sports etc, but the airplay function on both the phone and MacBook isn't picking up the TV.

I have the latest versions running on both devices but still no luck.

The Chromecast for the BT Sport App works fine however.

Any advice would be great.

Thanks

Martin

Hi Martin,

 

Have you tried a factory reset?

 

Best wishes,

M

On which Bravia TV? Is it airplay enabled?

Worth exploring what? If you don't know it should suffice you write the model...

And you have the latest Pie firmware?

Thanks, I'm not sure if the TV has the latest Pie firmware?

How would I check this and if its required how do I download it to my TV?

Thanks for you help.

In the link I put in the post there are detailed instruction on how to check it and how to install it from the web if the TV does not recognize that a new version is available
