I've got a 2nd gen Apple TV and I cannot get Airplay to play videos (recorded in the phone) off my iPhone 6. I can connect fine, and I can see the phone mirrored, but no video will play (mirrored or not). Have tried regular video (which might be a problem because it's at 1080p/60 and my ATV only supports 720p?), but also slo-mo video, which should be 720p/30 and should be playable on the ATV.

I've had tons of problems with it too. I pretty much only use an Apple TV for Plex. And it is hit or miss. I get errors all the time. My Chromecast is more consistent at 1/3rd the price. But I did also try playing back some videos I recorded onto the Apple TV and it wouldn't work.

When you buy a new phone you want to think you're adding features, not removing them. So it's a bummer when something that worked on your 3 year old phone no longer does. Hopefully a software fix coming.
