Hi,

I am unable to find how to Airplay videos that don’t have the airplay icon. In control center it only allows mirroring not airplay. How to airplay in ios12?

Thanks
 
I'm only downloading pb5...
I'll try airplay in a few mins -which has been working fine.
[doublepost=1533659170][/doublepost]I can airdrop an existing video from photos to iPad Pro and replay via iPad Pro.
Pb5 tonight complete

Airplay isn't a top level control any more. Long press the media control widget, then hit the little icon at the top right of it. You'll find all available airplay and audio output targets there.

Nice one I was asking myself where airplay icon was to test a video for OP ☺️
 
Struggled to find it myself at first but, once you know its there, its kinda logical for media targets to be in the media control.

Any idea why my ipad isn't a traget media player
Similar to OP I can airdrop to iPad Pro though not airplay to iPad Pro -Apple t.v. +Sky q boxes are only 3 Targets.
Interesting iPad Pro 10.5 isn't listed

Always been the case that iOS devices can't receive Airplay streams. That might've made sense at one point but now seems like an odd omission imo with phones and iPads with decent speakers.

I think the Airfoil app can help you stream from Mac or PC to iOS but I don't think there's any (non-jailbreak) solution for iOS to iOS Airplay. I could be wrong there though.

Thanks, finally worked after I powered off the iPad and powered back on.
