Opnsense with Airplay on LG TV

Hello everyone

I am a new user in this forum. I have the following problem and that is that I can not get my Airplay to work. I bought a new TV LG OLED65C27LA. This has Airplay integrated.

My network is set up as follows.
INT-NET: 192.168.1.0/24 VLAN 1 (default)
GUEST-NET: 192.168.2.0/24 VLAN 2
The Opnsense firewall is connected to my switch. On the switch is TV, PC and a Unifi access point connected. The ports from the switch to the firewall and the access point are in trunk mode, because I still have a guest WLAN. My iPhone is connected to the internal WLAN. When I try to stream to my TV via Airplay, the TV is not found. Specifically, it only works in the Youtube app, nowhere else. Could this be a bug or do I need to configure something else on the Opnsense firewall. Everything is in the same VLAN.
iPhone and TV are up to date.

Thanks for the tips and advice.

Hi,

I am really new so bear with me.

I found this:

AirPlay does not require any configuration to be able to find compatible devices on the network, thanks to [DNS-based service discovery], based on [Multicast DNS], aka Bonjour.

https://openairplay.github.io/airplay-spec/service_discovery.html

If anything is messing with Bonjour it won't find the devices.

If I lead you on a wild goose chase, I am so sorry, haha.

But I personally would start there.

Everything is in the same VLAN.

That implies it is not related to the firewall. All traffic stays within the same broadcast domain and IP subnet which means that no packets should reach the firewall. Does your switch allow port mirroring? If so, use that to capture traffic from your AP to your TV and Wireshark it to look for clues.

P.S. is Wiresharking a verb already? :) https://www.wireshark.org/
P.P.S knowing Apple this may be (partially) borked on anything other than Apple Tv
