Description of Issue

I cannot connect to the apple tv. When I try and add it in audio devices the code comes up on the ATV, I enter it in roon and click ok. The code remains on the ATV. Eventually it goes away when I try and play a track an new code appears on the ATV.

In air play I have tried with password on and with password off, with everyone can connect, and with only on this network connect.

Nothing I do allows a connection, and I really want one!

Is there anything else to try?

I don’t think Roon will work when using passcodes. You can try changing it to passwords or give unlimited access to anyone on the network. What doe your AirPlay settings look like on the AppleTV?

I have tried every combination of the settings. The problem is when I enter the passcode in Roon it’s not being relayed to the atv.

Setting Connection to Apple TV via Airplay fails -

Please try changing your ATV Airplay settings, and require a password. A) Open settings on the AppleTV B) Navigate to AirPlay and Homekit C) Tap on “Allow Access” D) Set “Allow Access” to “Anyone on the Same Network” E) Set Require Password to “On” and create a password D) Back out of the menu to the home screen F) Try to enable the zone in Roon. It should ask you for the password

Need to change it to use password instead.

Roon 1.7 fails with AppleTV device, due to Airplay Passcode prompts

Hello @Dean_Wette, In the AirPlay settings on your AppleTV, set the access control to require a password. Enter a password on the AppleTV when it asks you to set up a new password. Once you have done this, try enabling the AppleTV zone in Room again. When prompted, enter the password you set on the AppleTV. -John

Thanks all it sorted now. On requires password the atv was still offering the 4 number code entry. I factory reset the atv and now I was able to enter a password, just some strange bug out.
