What AirPlay actually does
There are two flavours of AirPlay. Screen mirroring copies your entire iPhone or iPad screen to the target device. Media AirPlay hands the video stream to the receiver directly — your iPhone becomes a remote, the receiver does the playing.
Kanalo uses media AirPlay via Apple's AVKit. That's the right approach for IPTV: your iPhone doesn't have to keep the screen on, doesn't have to decode the video, and battery isn't dented by casting.
Starting an AirPlay session in Kanalo
Play a stream, tap the AirPlay icon in the player controls, and pick your Apple TV or receiver. The video shifts to the TV and the Kanalo player switches into remote mode. Play, pause, seek and channel switching stay on your iPhone. Tap the icon again to bring the video back.
AirPlay works for live channels, movies and series alike. It's a Pro feature — €4.99 one-time.
What can go wrong
Different Wi-Fi networks: your iPhone and the Apple TV must be on the same network. If your iPhone is on 5 GHz and the Apple TV is on 2.4 GHz but they share an SSID, it usually just works. If they're on different SSIDs entirely, AirPlay won't find the target.
Provider throttling: some IPTV providers cap bandwidth on live channels. Streaming to a big screen exposes that — but it's not something the player can fix.
Codec quirks: rare, but some providers stream in codecs Apple TV handles differently. In practice most streams AirPlay cleanly.
AirPlay vs Chromecast
Kanalo supports both. AirPlay is the smoother option in an Apple-heavy household. Chromecast is the fallback for TVs that don't support AirPlay 2. Both are Pro features.
