So LG will get Airplay 2 support. Video and audio. Gonna be interesting to see if the Eclipse is getting the SW update. Still haven't got the new 5.80.10.

I suspect he is referring to the newly announced LG's, gaining Airplay 2 and Homekit support.

Be very interesting to see how AP2 is implemented on the newly announced TV's - i.e. will there be any restrictions on what content can be redistributed?

I can’t remember anyone talking about ‘redistribution’.

You can stream to it, like to any other AP(2) receiver/ATV.

I suppose, that ‘redistribution’ of other sources/app would need a much deeper integration in the OS.

Correct me if I am wrong, however...

Yes, and that deeper OS integration won't happen on the Eclipse (or at least extremely unlikely).

Same question as on the other thread - AP2 being added to the newly announced LG / Sony / Panasonic etc - will everything playing on the TV be distributable? Or will there be some restrictions. 

The natural response from many will be "why would anything be restricted?" - I get that of course, but we're dealing with Apple here, let alone other content providers (be those native TV apps for video and music streaming), so who knows.....

If there are no restrictions, then some may feel NL is not quite as necessary.....

Not saying I'd be in that camp, but some may be.....

From what I'm understanding the AirPlay 2 integration is 'receive only', the only ability the TV has is to play the content that is pushed to it by an Apple-device. The source can only be iOS/tvOS/macOS-based.

So I guess there will (for now) be no streaming of e.g. sound of native LG/Samsung-apps to AirPlay2-speakers.

WiSA-based wireless Dolby Atmos audio.

It's only the first thing we've seen.

Airplayed (just for testing) music to my Essence the other day.....while reading, researching on my iPad.

Worked well.......untill I came across a website that aimply took over the stream - I found more of these.

An app that I use for resizing pics did the same.

AirPlay sucks! (Unless you use one device for airplaying music and another one for reading etc.)

I am definitely in the NL camp with you.
