Thanks for the info. Can you try this:
please start the casting feature once by going to Settings > Screen Mirroring > iOS . This enables AirPlay, Google Cast and DLNA. After the first start, you can go back to the home screen, the casting feature will always be available in the future. Also make sure your PicoPix Max is connected to the same network as your phone or Mac.
In addition to AirPlay, Google Cast and DLNA, PicoPix Max also supports a 4th option: Miracast. It’s most often used for Windows and Android devices to cast the entire screen, and doesn’t require the PicoPix to be on the same network as your phone. To use Miracast, you’ll need to start this service every time you wish to mirror your device, by going to Settings > Screen Mirroring > Android .
And specially for YouTube, you have a 5th option: Link via WiFi or Link via TV Code . To enable this feature, open the YouTube app (SmartYouTubeTV in the current firmware), go to its Settings and select Link via TV code (recommended). Then you’ll be able to use YouTube on your phone to cast a video to the PicoPix.

Can I cast Apple TV+ from an iPhone/Mac/iPad to the projector?
Yes you can do so with the Wireless Screen Mirroring or HDMI
What is the difference between screen mirroring and Google Casting?
Screen Mirroring will duplicate your screen (smartphone, tablets, computers), and project it to the Philips PicoPix Max. Google Cast will simply send the content you want to play directly to the projector. For eg, if you want to play a Youtube Video or Youtube Original series, you can do so by going to your youtube app (in your smart device: smartphone, tablets…), play the content and press on the Cast button. Content will be played on the projector while you can do other tasks on your phone
If nothing helps, I guess it might just mean a defective device and you can write to support@screeneo.com , explain the issue and ask for a replacement.
