I’ve just got a feedback from one of my TV programme provider that the content can not be airplayed by PPM since “this is not an authorised AirPlay2-enabled device”.
I can foresee my experience is only a tip of iceberg. Can I ask if there is any plan for Philips to enable AirPlay2 or even get the authorisation from Apple?
Yes we plan to add official AirPlay 2 support down the line. --> but this depends on whether Apple wants us to make any hardware changes or burn a key in the factory. If it’s a software-only feature then everyone will get it. If it requires hardware change or key-burning, we can’t add it. We are in initial stage of contacting Apple regarding this.
receiver yes, we already discussed with them 2 months ago. Let us resolve the current issues then we will work on the Philips Hue, Sonos, Airplay 2 and other services
@aero you are one of the lucky bastards who dont have sound touch 10 - they will never push airplay2 support to us - been promising for almost two years
Airplay 2 support would for sure help for streaming from Apple devices! Maybe also to help to not need to Use the HDMI port for some users! (Beeing able to use Horizontal Keystone adjustments as it’s SW/App based)
Also Netflix and other apps would be great to stream via Airplay 2 to rhe PPM!
@Philips_Support_P, just checking-in on this quickly. Any news from Apple on whether AirPlay 2 support can be offered as a software only feature? If it can, is there an approximate timeline on when this might become available?
How is it going with AirPlay 2? Must be some updates by now. This should be a priority for Phillips as there is many IPhone users who also wants their Phillips TV to have all the futures the competition has and more.
