Sharing screen from iPhone to sky glass

Just got new sky glass (2) and want to be able to share screen (or cast) from iPhone to TV. It looks to go through the process and produces a code to put into phone. But when we enter the code on phone (we've tried 2 phones and an iPad) nothing happens. 
we've switched on and off, rebooted etc.

@Jo338 You shouldn't need a code to AirPlay from your phone to your Glass TV, assuming both devices are on the same WiFi network.

 

On your iPhone's Home Screen, swipe down from the top right hand corner to reveal Control Center. On here should be the Screen Mirroring button:

Your should then get a list of devices you can AirPlay to, one of which should be your Sky Glass TV.

 

Assuming this works you should be able to use AirPlay within individuals apps such as Music, Podcasts etc.

Sadly that doesn't work. When we press the screen mirroring and select the TV it brings up a code (looks like this can be set so you only do it once). But entering the code does nothing....

Maybe try an app refresh (in the settings) also check your airplay settings on your phone and you are on the newest Apple software update 

 

also worth rebooting you iPhone 

press and quickly release the volume up button

press and quickly release the volume down button 

press and hold the side button until the phone switches off and you see the Apple logo 

 

nb the app refresh can take a few hours to complete in the background

Hi I have recieved my gen 2 65" today and I'm going through it all and I have the exact same issue. My iOS devices are seeing the Glass but when you go to connect the code just doesn't work.

Just to confirm i can select Airplay when the Glass is doing something else etc and it then brings the code up. This means it's talking to each other

Sky glass not allowing set up on iPhone

Hi, 

 

recently got my new sky glass gen 2 today and trying to set up in the home app on IPhone and everytime I add it it always fails, it doesn't allow me to screen mirror from my iPhone or airplay any music, I've made sure devices are connected to same network etc multiple restarts and still having no luck. When trying to screen mirror I enter the code as shown on the sky glass and my my just doesn't seem to do anything I have to keep re entering the code multiple times, is this a sky glass issue or an iPhone issue? Thanks!
