IIyama Touchscreens and Airplay via iiShare being erratic (needs TV reboot or device WiFi cycling)

[pete]

We've had Iiyama touchscreens for a while now (easily 4 years).

 

Apparently anecdotally the Airplay option (via iiShare app on the TV) has been troublesome for staff trying to connect to the TVs for $indeterminate time (few months) and we've been trying to work out why.

 

We know it did work without issue during install and at least in September 2025 it was working.  We've made no changes in VLAN/switching/routing configs that would inhibiti connectivity during that time.

 

Airplaying to an Apple TV works on all the devices below.  I don't think it's the Airplay implementation on the tablets/laptops.  TVs have an ethernet connection on the same VLAN as the devices using AirPlay.

 

We're still in the testing phase but so far:

 

• iPad Air M3 = erratic behaviour when connecting via iiShare AirPlay.  Rebooting the TV allows connection (and connect/disconnect cycles) but it isn't a long-term fix.
• iPad Gen 8 (base model) = One iPad (same firmware and age as the others) connects flawlessly every time.  Four other other iPads only connects after the TV has been rebooted.
• Macbook Air M1 = erratic behaviour when connecting via iiShare AirPlay.
• Macbook Air M4 = erratic behaviour when connecting via iiShare AirPlay.

 

All of the above can reliably connect if we use the EShare App's AirPlay functionality on the TV.

 

Has anyone else come across this?

 

cheers
