Apple TV and Phantom I

[ragwo]

Weirdness, nothing there either. 

I have this setup:

AppleTV (4k, newest tvOS) -> TV -> optical out  -> pair of silver phantoms.
This works fine. 
I can also choose to connect to the silvers directly from the AppleTV via Airplay. This also works fine.

airplay speakers to choose from, can come and go from apple devices, and it is usually network related.
Try to disconnect and reconnect to network from all involved, thus appleTV, Phantoms.
If this does not help, try restarting your router.
Sometimes routers block certain traffic and sometime between different network segments (if one is on wifi the other on lan) which can also hamper airplay.

Thanks for the tip. None av that really worked, but your tip gave me an idea, to disconnect the AppleTV from ethernet and instead try wifi. Then it showed up and works from the temp menu. So apparently, there is something between the wired and wireless network. Which is weird, because the wireless mesh router and the AppleTV are both connected to the same switch. But at least it works, thanks!

Are the main mesh node and your router both distributing ip addresses? Could be an ip address conflict causing your problems.
