![]() ![]() The raspberry pi is connected to my network via ethernet cable, as my computer is as well. perhaps something not setup correctly on Kodi? I thought just enabling ZeroConfig and Airplay was all that is needed.įYI my version of Kodi is Isengard (15.1) and I have Windows 10 on my computer I am trying to broadcast. It seems that the different programs I have tried never can connect so there must be something I am consistently doing wrong. I am of course open to other programs but my question is not focused on that aspect. In AirParrot's case, the connecting icon just spins for hours with no connection happening. However, whenever I actually connect they always fail. Every time they search on my network for supported devices, they do find my raspberry pi listed as "Kodi". Restarting your router and modem is a good way to fix temporary issues with your home network. I have tried a few different programs, including AirParrot 2 which appear like they should work across a plethora of devices. AirPlay relies on Wi-Fi, so if you're having network connectivity issues, this might be the reason why your AirPlay isn't working with your Roku. PlayOn doesn't support mirroring the entire screen though and only does video windows. I have successfully played videos over apple airplay using PlayOn software from my computer so I know the apple airplay part works with at least one piece of software. I have Kodi installed on a raspberry pi that is connected to this TV. ![]() I'm not suggesting they dont exist, just stating that they have no meaningful market impact.Īgain, Roku will likely include WPA3 (and IPv6) support (probably at the same time) at some point in the future, once the WPA3 standard has settled more and SoC support solidifies (which both their and Roku TV manufacturers' hardware products can take advantage of), but that wont happen until this fall at the earliest (with the release of OS10.1/11 and new models), and likely not until fall 2022.What I am trying to do is mirror my Windows 10 screen to my TV in another room. I dont know/know of a single person/consumer (you even bought the Roku TV not knowing/caring enough beforehand) refusing to buy a wireless networking device because it "doesnt have WPA3" support. ![]() Not sure what you mean by "compliant with WiFi standards" - clearly Roku devices are "WiFi compatible" - but Roku devices arent WiFi Certified, nor will they ever likely be (same for their competitors). Yes, Roku would have to provide OS-level support, but since they dont WiFi certify their products, there is no rush to include the support (a Roku TV manufacturer would have to demand it, and they would only likely do so only if they wanted to WiFi certify their Roku TV).įinally, WPA3 isnt very secure (re: Dragonblood et al) and is still a WIP (Work-in-Progress), which is another reason there is no great rush to include support for it: So if a product isnt WiFi certified, WPA3 support is entirely "optional" (discretion of the manufacturer), which is (one reason) why so many products are still sold without it. Regardless, since Roku doesnt make Roku TVs (the manufacturers do) and since WiFi certification only certifies hardware units, the Roku TV manufacturer would have to certify their TVs (and thus have to meet WPA3 certification requirements). WPA3 (a WiFi Allliance standard) is a requirement for WiFi certification as of July 2020 (and optional prior to then), but Roku doesnt WiFi certify their products (nor do their competitors), so they dont have any real impetus to include WPA3 support (nor do their competitors). Microsoft Windows is not WiFi Certified). WiFi Certification involves hardware products - not software (e.g. You can also choose who can stream content using AirPlay to your Apple TV: Everyone: Anyone can see and stream content to your Apple TV. From here, you can give your Apple TV a unique name and assign it to a room so you can easily identify it when you use AirPlay. Airplay is another option for mirroring iPad / iPhone to Roku TV. On your Apple TV, go to Settings > AirPlay and HomeKit. Roku's entire contribution is licensing the RokuOS software to the (unknown) manufacturer. With AirPlay 2, Roku customers can stream, control and share their favorite content. Roku did not make your TV - it did not manufacture the constituent physical components nor assemble them. What's even stranger is that you are inclined to agree with them. Claiming the hardware or unit as a whole isnt their responsibility is a pretty brazen false claim, especially considering its their manufacturer's warranty that covers the device - not Roku's. ![]()
