Anyone asks me for my opinion on the company or their products, I’m going to have to give a giant thumbs down. Have to say, this doesn’t do anything to encourage confidence in the Crestron brand. As soon as I uninstalled the software (didn’t even need a restart), Airplay and internet access were restored. Before uninstalling, AirPlay to my local TV resulted in a black screen on the TV and non-responsive internet on the iPad. Tap Connect to add the TSR-310 handheld remote to the Crestron Home system. I didn’t make the connection right away, but I believe the latest version of the software did something to the network stack on my iPad that broke AirPlay. IPAD is set to open on Crestron APP configuration page.
No luck connecting to the device in the classroom (perhaps the device was running old software? Shouldn’t keep me from connection though), but my iPad did stop Airplaying to my home TV. In this latest iteration, I saw a new logo and a recent update and hoped for the best. In the five years of trying out this app for streaming content from my iPad to the TVs in my classroom, I’ve never been happy with the process or result.
