I cannot stream anything from my phone (iPhone 12, iOS 16.6.1), or my computer (Mac Studio, macOS 14.0), to my Samsung Q90 TV (late 2020) using the Apple TV app on the TV. I've always had this problem with this TV, but up till now I've eventually been able to get a movie to play. Usually by starting the movie, then turning on screen mirroring, after which everything worked fine. But now, nothing will stream to my TV from any of my devices – home movies, downloaded videos – no matter what I do.
All of the movies are in the correct format (see attached info from QT Player for an example of a movie that won't play). They play without problem on my Mac, iPhone, and iPads (with screen mirroring turned off). As far as I can tell, these video and audio codecs are supported on Samsung TVs.
I also have a 3rd-gen Apple TV connected to this TV, and it won't play anything either. It used to.
The only success I've had is using the 5K Player app on my Mac. It plays the videos and works with screen mirroring on. Only problem, my computer is nowhere near my TV, and running up and down 2 flights of stairs every time I want to pause it is not an option (for me).
I've found LOTS of threads on this topic, but none of the solutions I've found are helpful. Does anybody know what format will actually work on a Samsung TV, if any? Is there any macOS app that can convert my movies?
