Using both Apple TV & Airport Express in syncI thought that when I use Airplay to stream my iTunes library from my iMac, I would be able to hear the same output from both my Apple TV and my Express. It's not happening.
I am using the remote app on my iphone.
On the iphone I see 2 icons; one for the Apple TV and one for my iTunes library.
If I select the iTunes library, I get output from the Express.
If I select Apple TV I get output from the Apple TV.
But never from both at the same time.
When I select my iTunes library, I can see that both units are available as speakers, but it doesn't work.
I have checked that both units are on the same network.
Anyone have any ideas what to check next?
Thanks

All I can tell you is that it does work for me.
If the AE and TV are using the same receiver then most likely you can't listen to two inputs at the same time.
I use the Apple Remote on my iPhone. When selecting the icon for outputs I can select the AE and TV as well as my iMac.

and guess what - now it works for me!!!!
I hope it remains stable, but it does seem to be a bit hit and miss.
I have been reading on the web about how it is best to use wired connectivity for streaming, as there can be too many factors which can make a wireless set up fail.
