Is it possible to stream music videos through the Port when using Airplay.

Currently using iTunes to through my phone  to a Port and playing music through my hifii. I also have a Samsung frame TV and wondered on how I could stream the music videos to that whilst still playing through the hifi. I’m guessing it isn’t possible using the Port?

No. The Port is a stereo audio device, not a video device. 

It would be down to Apple to determine if you could stream audio to one place, and show video elsewhere.

Thanks for the reply Bruce.

I can airplay the video and audio to the TV but can’t play the audio through the port to the hifi at the same time. It’s almost like I'd need to split the source between audio and video. Hopefully it’ll be an Apple feature update one day😁

I suspect ‘splitting’ the streams was a request when AirPlay was initially released. Given that it didn’t show up in AirPlay 2, I’ve decided not to hold my breath, although things do change over time. Perhaps I’ll be pleasantly surprised some day ;)
