Air-Play functionality on IOS 8

Can you tell me, is it possible to revert from IOS 8.1.3 back to IOS 7 ?
With IOS 7 it was possible to stream a movie on the iphone and play it through the apple TV. Once playing, you could then come out of the browser and leave it playing while you used other apps.
The Air play functionality with IOS 8 is primitive in comparison ! Often, only the sound casts to the TV and if you do get the picture cast too, if you come out of the browser to read a text or such, it stops playing.
Please tell me there is a way to revert to IOS 7 ?
IOS 8 has ruined the Apple TV experience when used in conjunction with iphone!

Thanks for your reply. Having already done a little digging, it appears I am not alone.
With IOS 7, when you played a video in the browser there was a button in the bottom right window which gave you the option to play it on Apple TV. This button has now been removed and you must bring up the menu first. Select apple TV, then drop down the menu again. Seems like a step backwards having to perform a number of additional steps to perform the same function. Particularly when it appears to cause problems playing content.
I am blaming IOS 8 as there were never any problems with IOS 7. Now there are numerous issues with it.
Appreciate your input Lawrence. Thanks.

  • Native Air Play for MacMini without AppleTV?

    This question pertains to a recently-purchased MacMini, not earlier versions of the product.
    I want to project images from an iPhone or iPad to a conference room LCD projector using Air Play.  The most frequently recommended method for doing this is to equip the projector with an Apple TV. 
    However, it would be nice to occasionally access Internet content using the projector and a wireless keyboard/mouse--tasks not easily done using an Apple TV. 
    Can I equip the LCD projector with a MacMini rather than an Apple TV and still "Air Play" from iPhones and iPads?  Or does Air Play functionality presume the existence of an Apple TV?

    Likely this app:
    Reflector - AirPlay mirror your iPhone or iPad to any Mac or PC, wirelessly.
    Note it does not work with old iOS devices as stated in the Requirements section

    No, you can only airplay from iTunes (audio) using ATV1

    I have noticed an issue with utilizing the “stream” function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clearly see that storage has been reduced under the usage, yet under the “videos” tab it still states “No Data” the only way to delete what you have partially downloaded is to fully download the video, which is fine but there is no way to tell what videos have been partially downloaded (I.e which occurs a lot when your child switches between movies using the so called “stream” function). This becomes troublesome once the capacity of the ipad is almost met and you have no way to delete this data since you may have several videos that have started to be viewed (hence partially downloaded). Apple needs to somehow make it truly streaming or provide an update so the storage can be managed. The only way I have been able to remove partially downloaded videos is by doing a total software restore. (The video data that is in question when connected to my MacBook shows up in iTunes as “other”) if you have any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Here are the screenshots for what it's worth.

    '''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
    IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
    I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
    '''Again I have changed the setting for DNS servers back and forth several times to duplicate/verify the issue(s)... and the issues only happen with the opendns servers.'''

  • Air Play from my Apple TV can't been seen on any of my iOS devices?

    I've tried everything... Rebooting my router, rebooting my modem, restarting my Apple TV, changing the language on my iPad and nothing seems to work. Even though my Apple TV shows that it has a strong connection to my network and all of the other iOS devices are working properly, I can't get my Apple TV to been seen by my iPad2, iPad mini, or either one of our two Mac Book Pros.  I know Air Play works on my MacBook because I use it at work all the time for displaying on conference room displays, but our Apple TV remains invisible to all of the other iOS devices in our house. 

    make sure the required ports are not blocked in your router
    Well known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products
    and test by connecting the Apple TV by ethernet and the computer by ethernet
    and some routers keep ethernet, 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz as separate networks and one needs to bridge them in other for devices to talk
    and finally if you own the old aluminium Apple TV then it does not support airplay at all

  • My AppleTV will not play anything over Air Play.  Every other function works perfectly, and my Internet/router are working at top speed.  I can watch HD Netflix and YouTube but nothing via my iTunes library on my MacBook or iPad.  All software is updated.

    Every other function works perfectly, and my Internet/router are working at top speed.  I can watch HD Netflix and YouTube but nothing via my iTunes library on my MacBook or iPad.  All software is updated.  The AppleTV will recognize that Air Play is trying to do it's thing, but with music files it sounds like they're skipping and video files just load endlessly. 

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

    You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
    If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.
