Airplay no longer working on iTunes 11.1.3 Windows 8.1

I have a PC connected by ethernet cable to a router, which is sending a wireless IPv4 signal to an airport express on my home network, which is in turn connected to some speakers. I also have an Apple TV connected to the same network. Airplay worked fine in the previous version of iTunes, but since 11.1.3 airplay no longer works properly.
On a fresh reboot of the PC & opening iTunes, the airplay icon appears, and airplay works as normal. However, after an arbitrary amount of time (usually between 3-10 minutes) the airplay feature becomes unresponsive, and the only way to remedy it is a fresh reboot of the PC.
However, I can play music from my iPhone through the Airport Express to the speakers, and I can mirror audio from my macbook through the AE to the speakers, but iTunes can't see anything with airplay (no speakers, no Apple TV) and the remote app on my iPhone iOS 7 can find the Apple TV, but can't find my shared library on the PC.  So it's not a proble with the AE, or with the router.
Other PC users with a similar issue who are connecting to their router by WiFi have reported a that turning off IPv6 appears to be a usable workaround, but I can report that it does not work for me when connecting to the router by ethernet cable.
Also, the Airport utility can see the AE after a fresh reboot, but again after a few minutes it can no longer see the AE.

yes this is happening to me....
Same scenarios..

  • Airplay no longer works with iTunes

    Airplay no longer works with iTunes 10.6; try to stream to speakers connected to Airplay device--use to work fine. Now, in iTunes, the icon in the bottom corner actually says 2 speakers, as it should, but when I open it it only shows speakers connected to computer directly. I have tried re-installing the AirPort utility and configuring it in every which way. I have tried turning off IPV6 in the network. Nothing seems to work.

    I noticed this too and think it's by design. The new master volume slider in the AirPlay window is set at the highest volume in your list of speakers. Drag either the master volume or your external speaker slider to max, and you should get normal volumes out of your Airport Express speakers.
    Unfortunately, the volume slider on the iTunes window seems to be the master volume now, rather than just the volume for the computer. So if you mute the computer using that slider, you mute all speakers. To mute just the computer, you have to do it though the AirPlay speaker list now. Unless I'm missing a preference setting somewhere... thought there used to be something in iTunes or Airport Utility that let you toggle this behavior, but I don't see anything now...

  • Home Sharing no longer works between iTunes and Apple TV.

    I've been through all the forums, tried all the solutions provided and I have come to the conclusion that Home Sharing just no longer works between iTunes on a PC and my Apple TV.  Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed or should I list my Apple TV up on eBay?  (along with my iPad, iPod, and iPhone, since all system no longer sync together as before.)
    My issue:
    My iTunes library is no longer listed under "Computers" on the Apple TV.
    The airplay icon no longer shows up in iTunes. (Version 11)
    I cannot play music/content from my iPhone or iPad via remote that is stored in my iTunes library through my Apple TV. 
    I can however play music/content that is stored locally on my iPhone and iPad through my Apple TV.
    My firewall settings are allowing access to Apple TV.
    After logging into my router, I see no issues there.
    I've logged in/out, turned home sharing on/off, de-authorized/authorized, and restarted my PC, Apple TV, and Router.
    All devices are logged into the same iTunes account, and are on the same wireless network.
    Time for a solution Apple.

    If you turn off wifi on your  Computer and connect it to the apple tv using an ethernet cable can you see your library under computers in Apple TV.
    If yes the issue is with your wifi not the Apple TV

    iTunes Home Sharing Not Working
    Not working and sometimes when it is working, it cuts out in the middle, or when you click on the computer name, the focus goes away from the library.  In other words, really weird.
    What it is
    iTunes has a feature called "Home Sharing" - it basically allows you to share your entire or part of your library with other instances of iTunes in your home network.  It requires you to login to your iTunes account on both computers.  A typical scenario is to enable Home Sharing on your desktop machine and then access the library from your iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Mac, etc.
    In my case, I have iTunes on my desktop machine running Windows XP in the attic with Home Sharing enabled and then I access the library from my Macbook and Apple TV, depending on what I want.  How to use Home Sharing can be found here.
    Symptoms
    Home Sharing machine not showing up in Apple TV or the Macbook
    The Macbook home sharing not showing up on my desktop
    Home Sharing working intermittently
    Connections getting cut of intermittently
    Usually, restarting iTunes or the desktop computer will make things work.
    Sometimes, restarting the Macbook or the Apple TV will make things work.
    The "working" doesn't last long
    The FixOn the desktop computer where the Home Sharing is enabled, I disabled the "QoS Packet Scheduler" from the network connection:
    Open Control Panel
    Open Network Connections
    Right-Click on your connection (in my case, it was "Wireless Network Connection 4"
    Select Properties
    Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler"
    Click OK
    Restart iTunes if necessary
    After doing the above, Home Sharing worked like a charm.  

  • AirPlay no longer working reliably on Snow Leopard

    I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8 with latest patches installed, including iTunes 10.6.3. Mac Mini with 8GB RAM. All components connected to home network via wired Ethernet (no wifi involved). Components use fixed IP addresses.
    I've been using AirPlay with my AVR very reliably for couple months to play music using Home Sharing. I have also ATV as well as AE, which I've used for whole home audio setup. It's awesome and I've been very happy with this setup.
    I've had the system unplugged from about middle of April 2012, and replugged in the middle of July. No changed components, and with no hardware changes in the home network. Since then however, AirPlay no longer works reliably.
    The symtoms are as follows:
    1. I start iTunes, get the AirPlay icon, select the AVR destination, playback works fine
    2. On the AVR, I switch to another audio input (like ATV, or PS3), which obviously makes iTunes to stop playing the music
    3. From this moment on, iTunes is no longer able to play music to _any_ of the AirPlay destinations, i.e. not to AVR, not to ATV and neither to AE - if I hit Play button in iTunes, no error is displayed, just the song position in iTunes doesn't advance, and no sounds comes out of the remote speakers; if I switch to local (computer) speakers, it works
    If I Quit iTunes and start it again, it again works, until AVR source switch. For sure, this makes for mighty hassle to the extend it's barely usable at all.
    The problem can be triggered any time, happens always - there is no difference, if the triggering sequence is run after several minutes or after several hours of playback.
    I've tried several obvious steps to fix this, but none has made any difference:
    1. before switching audio source on AVR, stopped iTunes playback, either directly in iTunes or via Remote app
    2. networksetup -setv6off hint from forums, for WiFi and Ethernet
    3. tried downgrade of iTunes to 10.6.1 via Time Machine
    4. switched off firewall on Mac Mini
    5. connected Mac Mini with the AVR directly via known working cable (ruling out switches and any cable faults in between), also tried to connect them to the same network switch
    I've also tried to run tcpdump on the ethernet interface when the iTunes is in the non-working state, and indeed there is no network traffic between mac mini and the AVR. Apparently iTunes doesn't even attempt to send the data to the AirPlay device. I see that there are several multicast packets sent by the AVR during this time, apparently some kind of Bonjour stuff.
    Any hint what might be wrong, or another idea how to fix this? Was there any known-buggy AirPlay update to Mac OS X during the period?

    Okay, so tried one more thing and found the culprit - the problem no longer appears after I switch off 'Allow iTunes audio control from remote speakers' preference in iTunes. Apparently this problem happens due to an interaction between the AVR (Denon AVR-1912) and iTunes.

    You're welcome.
    Going back to your original post:
    5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

  • HT4437 airplay no longer works...

    Hi
    I have a bad wifi connection in the house so bought a powerline netgear booster- the signal is now much better but airplay no longer works. Airplay is set up with speakers throughout the house (wired in) with panels on the walls in different rooms to switch it on and off . After reading up on things I thought it may be because our devices playing the music are now on a different wifi network than the airplay. Can anyone confirm this for me and let me know if there is anything I can do to rectify the problem... PLEASE.
    Thanks. x

    They do need to be on the same network.

    Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

    When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

  • Why does airplay no longer work using my ipad and apple TV

    After the installation of the newest iOS for both my ipad and iPhone air play no longer displays video thru my Apple TV, it does give me the ability to listen to the sound, but does not display the video. All systems are using the latest software.

    Hulu plus an Amazon block their content from being used with airplay. However the video app with either your own videos or iTunes video should work correctly, is this the video app that you are referring to.
    If indeed airplay does not work correctly with any of your apps..
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • Sharing iTunes between user accounts no longer works in iTunes 10.4

    I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.4 (80). Still running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    I have two user accounts on my MacBook Pro and my iTunes Media folder is shared i.e. /Users/Shared/ITunes/iTunes Media
    This has always worked with no problems but since upgrading to iTunes 10.4 I can no longer see my iTunes content from both accounts.
    First time I opened it after the upgrade it just presented me with an empty library. I eventually managed to see my iTunes content by deleting the iTunes library and xml files and relaunching iTunes. However when I quit and switch to the other user account I can't open iTunes - it keeps telling me that the library is locked or I don't have access to the files.
    I have to keep manually resetting permissions on the iTunes folder & subfolders in order to be able to launch it but even when I manage to open it from the second user account I just see an empty library again.
    I always used to be able to just quit iTunes in one user account and then launch it from the other; no permissions changes required. Now it just doesn't work.
    Please can someone offer advice or is this a known issue with the 10.4 release?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I've been trying to do this same thing. My wife and I share one computer and she has her own login account to check email etc. I moved all the music, movies, videos to the shared folder. We can now "share" that music without having two iTunes media libraries. However, I want to remedy the situation of adding music from different accounts, adding and deleting playlists. How do I have that type of library data automatically get updated from account to account? I've asked this question in it's own thread about a week ago and it got buried with no responses or solutions.

  • ITunes Match No Longer Works With iTunes 11.1.4.62

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.1.4.62 for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit, my iTunes Match no longer works.  It insists that I pay for another subscription even though I have a valid subscription already.  Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue?  What can I do to remedy this problem?

    So I'm guessing that there is no fix for this error?  I see that this patch has caused complete disaster for not only me but for lots of other people as well.  Tell us how to fix our issues or release a new patch!

  • Why do podcast album view links no longer work in iTunes 11?

    I've recently updated to iTunes 11, and now the podcasts I have that contain links no longer work. What can I do?

    Duplicate your copy of iTunes 10.x before upgrading to iTunes 11 (or restore it from a backup) and use iTunes 10.x to listen to (and in particular access the links in) podcasts. Further, file a bug with Apple that these links don't work when the album art is displayed in the album art mini-player.
