Whenever I play YouTube via AirPlay to dCS bartok , , , , picture and sound does not sync.

Welcome to the forum! Yes - just turn the buffer setting in Mosaic to off. This can be found on the Device Tab.

Hello Phil~

I have another question regarding YouTube playing via AirPlay to Bartok.

When trying to play a YouTube video clip in a YouTube app on an iPhone 16 Pro Max,

It wont play. Youtube Music app which has video clips will play but not the Youtube app videos.

Any thoughts ??

Hi @F488GTB

I may be wrong but offhand I THINK that some apps have limitations on whether they allow audio playback through external devices or not …

And after listening to YouTube streaming should i turn on again?

Personally I would turn the buffer back on after watching videos and movies.

After turning off the buffer at the Mosaic app, everything worked like a magic.

now I have a slightly different problem, whenever I turn on my system~ Bartok will not connect to my network even if I wait for a long time to connect. Bartok will only connect once I turn off the main power switch at the back of the unit and then turn it back on.

Any suggestions to troubleshoot this issue.

Thank you again in advance.

Bartok sounds phenomenal !!!

Hi Jake,

When you say that the Bartok will not connect to your network do you mean that Mosaic takes a long time to find and connect to your Bartok unless you power cycle it?

If it is that the Mosaic app takes a long time to find and connect to the Bartok then if you look at the front panel Menu → Information → Unit Status menu (when the app is trying to find it) then does the Bartok have an IP address and if so what is it?

If you then type in the IP address of your Bartok into the address bar of a web browser do you get to the Bartok’s web interface?

Sounds like a YouTube app–specific AirPlay hiccup rather than your Bartok. I’d try updating the app, toggling AirPlay on/off, or restarting both devices since that often clears it. If YouTube Music works, your connection is fine, so it’s likely just the main app acting up.
