AirPlay Multitasking?

[clivo360]

I had an Apple TV third generation and used airplay frequently. When airplaying a video, it would stop airplaying if you started another video or came across a website with embedded video or sound.

Do the newer Apple TV’s still have this issue? My Chromecast streaming doesn’t get interrupted by anything, which is great.

Depends on what device are you talking about. But in general, that was never appleTV limitation, but the sending device's.
Are you talking about Mac or iOS device?
Mac also never really had this, unless you were mirrroring your entire screen.
Latest iOS version already provides autonomous playback for music: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...v-without-tv-turned-on.2105536/#post-25807335

it would depend on the bandwidth on Wi-Fi wouldn't it ? Mac or IOS connected this way
Chrome cast wouldn't get interrupted because it 'hands off' to the device and keep streaming even though the phone is off

Would depend largly on Wi-fi signal.

Ethernet is always going to be better
