Is it possible to filter device list displayed in AVRoutePickerView?

Our iOS app supports video streaming. We use AVRoutePickerView to give users an option to stream videos on their TV devices using Airplay connection.
Videos that we stream have some specifics that make them work without issues only on Apple TV. However there are TVs from other vendors (LG, Samsung, Sony, ...) that also have integrated Airplay support and they also show in the AVRoutePickerView.
Is there any way we can filter what AVRoutePickerView displays? Ideally we would like AVRoutePickerView to list only Apple TV devices and not other TVs.

How to allow airplay with Bluetooth for AVPlayer?

I have an app which is using AVPlayer. It can cast video to apple TV by Airplay when they are in the same network, but if I set apple TV and iphone in different network, the airplay via bluetooth doesn't work well. The screen will flash once and play on local device. Any idea? Thanks

Select output device with MPMusicPlayerController

I have an app where you can choose from your itunes library which songs you want to play (MPMediaPickerController and MPMusicPlayerController). That works without any problem.
Is there a way to show and select the output devices (iphone or connected bluetooth speaker)?

Enabling AirPlay for IOS application

Hi I am developing IOS application in which I am showing HLS videos in my application. I want to enable Airplay option for my application.
I tried it in following way :
_moviePlayer = [[MPMoviePlayerController alloc]
initWithContentURL:url];
[_moviePlayer setAllowsAirPlay:YES];
But it is not showing Airplay option for my application. I checked it once I start playing video (my player appears on screen) in my setting AirPlay option is not coming up.
Is there any other setting needed. Need Some help. Thank you.
You have to sender and receiver and also same WIFI network then AirPlay is display on iPhone of your screen to access the Control Center. otherwise the AirPlay symbol is not display on Control Center.
To use AirPlay, you need these:
1. iPhone 4 (or later), iPad, iPad mini, or iPod touch (4th generation or later)
2. For videos or photos: Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)
3. For music: Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers
Use AirPlay
1. Connect your iOS device and Apple TV or AirPort Express to the same Wi-Fi network.
2. Swipe up from the bottom of your screen to access Control Center.
3. Tap AirPlay.
SNEDER : iPhone 4 (or later), iPad, iPad mini, or iPod touch (4th generation or later)
RECEIVERS : Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers
Note : SNEDER and RECEIVERS to the same Wi-Fi network.

ipad airplay mirroring to multiple airplay receivers (specifically for videos/pictures)

my client asks me to develop some app for real-estate presentation which has the following features:
1. The seller can have their ipads connect to the projector wireless over wifi.
2. The seller can broadcast the screenshot of some other ipads to the customers's ipads.
For feature 1, I can have a apple TV and airplay mirroring the ipad screen to it, then have some HDMI-VGA adapter for the connection with the projector.
For feature 2, I can also install airfloat to make the ipad an airplay receiver. I can also airplay mirroring the screen of the seller's ipad to the customer's ipad.
As for as I know, it seems to be no way to airplay mirroring the screenshot of one ipad to multiple ipad airplay receivers.
So I'm wondering how can I airplay mirroring one screen to many ipad airplay receivers?
How about you use airview or airplay receiver like in this link? It seen like we need to solve some problem to use.

Another one is you can use this SDK. It has screen sharing and gesture sharing from one device to another device. It seen quite good.

Our rPlay airplay mirroring software implemented the features you asked. rPlay acts as Apple TV, you can mirror ios devices to it, rPlay can also duplicate displays to other rPlay devices, the result is one ios device sends its screens to multiple devices.
We are also develop viewers for mobile devices to receive rPlay displays.
