Excellent! I just downloaded it and am testing it now. I will let you know how it goes. Many thanks!

The app for tvOS is now in beta also. If you are already enrolled on iOS you should just install it from TestFlight on the Apple TV (the apps are considered a single one), otherwise follow the link above on a computer for the instructions (it basically boils down to "enroll on an iOS device first"). If you are unable to enroll, just send me an email with your email at gt_at_iltofa.com and I'll enroll you via Apple's dev site.

Edit: I just discovered that the tvOS version is still "waiting for beta approval", but it should be out in a few hours, hopefully.

There is no beta build for Apple TV at the moment, it's a different app, even if Apple consider it the same (from the App Store and Testflight point of view). I hope to have one in the next week or so, it should appear automatically if you are in the iOS TestFlight, no need for an invitation code.

Hi BillG
I've installed the beta on my iPhone and it so far is working great. To install it using TestFlight on my AppleTV 4K, I need an invitation code. Is it possible to get one?
Thanks
Mark

The point (I'm the developer of the app) is AirPlay 2. What happens is that to support multiple speakers the system must cache some seconds (can be even 20) of audio between songs. With the current apps (this is an artifact of the way audio works in the current crop of iOS, tvOS, macOS apps) this time makes the OS think the app stopped streaming audio and so the app is stopped (because audio apps are allowed to run in background only when actually playing). 
So yes, keeping the app in foreground minimizes the problem that appears in this case only when the wifi network is really busy (because the cache time is so long that even the audio session is lost).
Only streaming to AirPlay 2 devices has this problem! "new" Apple TV, Airport Express, Sonos 2 and a few others...  streaming to bluetooth, earphones or speakers works as expected.
There is a beta build available for iOS that solves the problem, iOS 11+ only though. The link to the download is in another forum thread, but feel free to ask for it if needed.

I find that my iPad can AirPlay to the Apple TV just fine as long as the iPad screen stays on, but as soon as the screen is off, it stops at the end of the song.

Thanks. I was/am having the same issue. Will check out the beta.

I downloaded the beta app too and the music flows from one song to the next over AirPlay to my Homepod  just fine. Thanks!

Tried the beta app.

Confirmed that Airplay works fine - as Bill said it has missing features (to be expected) and was a little wonky (displayed sing / artist info was out of sync on occasions) - but playback using Airplay was reliable - nice to have Radio Paradise back through our living room sound system.

OK that makes sense.

The issues started around the time that the output device got an Airplay2 update.

I may try the beta version.

Thanks

Our apologies. There is a major incompatibility between our app & the latest Airplay2 code. 

The app should work fine on directly-connected audio devices, but not via Airplay. 

We're hard at work on a complete rewrite of the app. That's currently in the early beta stages (lots of missing features at this point, but basic playback should work).

You can sign up for that via TestFlight:

I've had the same problem. But it's only *sometimes* and I can't find a pattern or resolution for it. I stream via Airplay through an old Apple TV (not current gen) to my amplifier/speakers. Does anyone else know what might be going on here?

Love Radio Paradise for many years.

Everything worked fine until a few weeks ago  - IOS airplay now only plays one song and then stops.

Currently running IOS 12.1 and up to date RP app (issue started before IOS 12 and was also on IOS 11 in recent weeks)

IOS on the phone and Bluetooth (working out and car) works great.

Ideas?

Thanks?
