I have the iOS7 beta on my AppleTV. I use airplay to watch video from My MacBook Pro - however with yesterdays update all I get now is a black screen.
Anyone else having this issue?

Airplay not working with AppleTV

Yes. Many of us have the same problem.
For now, I'm using airparrot to do the airplay mirroring, which works with DP6. I wouldn't recommend it for video though.
But apple need to fix this. We shouldn't have to rely on a 3rd party app to do something that is built into the system.

Well now it's getting interesting.
So it's not universal?
My computer is the mba 2011, 11", mavericks dp6.
Could it be that apple are now restricting mavericks airplay mirroring to ivy bridge or haswell processors only?
If so, that sucks!
If this is the case, I would like to know why.
Apple allowed dp1-5 to do it on older computers with sandy bridge processors. Why not dp6?
I fear that this might not actually be a bug.

What if you set the AirPlay Display as a new desktop. Your case is a little different since you are using AirPlay, not AirPlay Display.
i dont even know what that means ^^ i just airplay my desktop to my tv so i can watch netflix using safari
i pick it here
and it shows like this
MacBook Pro retina
2,5 GHz i5
8GB Ram
Mavericks DP6
I've submitted a bug report.
I'll go back to dp4 if it is not fixed in dp7. I want to avoid that though because that would require a clean install.
Hmm. been using Air Video as our content is stored on a Windows based server, but will try my rMBP now.....It's not usually too long before Apple fix major bugs like this though.
Same here, Mac mini (Late 2012), base i5 model, 16GB RAM to Apple TV 3 running the latest release version, not the beta. (I'm not doing any development with Airplay, so I haven't bothered to test the Apple TV beta releases.) Trying to extend the desktop onto the Apple TV results in a blank screen and no evidence in the Displays panel that the extra virtual display exists.
You are one of the lucky ones then! I just get a black screen like most of the others. I'm on a mid 2011 MBA 13" with Mavericks DP6. DP5 worked as normal.
