The AirPlay session has started but the playback quality is not stable

Steps	Guidelines
The playback quality is changing throughout the video	We are using an adaptive bitrate technology which will automatically select the best video quality depending on the size of your screen, your internet connection, your device and the video quality available on the selected video. If the video does not buffer at playback speed, the video will be downgraded to a lower quality to keep the smoothest playback experience.
Check your internet connection	Using AirPlay can require an important bandwidth depending on the content watched. Please check if your internet connection is stable, and if the available bandwidth isn't already used by other devices and applications.
