from vlc to apple tv

Alley_Cat,

I agree. It's such a simple thing to incorporate. I think it has more to do with forcing people to purchase movies via iTunes rather than 'allowing' us to pop a DVD into our Macs and stream it to our ATV2. Absolutely absurd.

Interesting link MacDaddyJ.....

The software is a joke. When the software's own demo movie shows it failing to work properly one should be extremely cautious about even having it your mac

.....then please tell me how it got past Apple's watchful eye and onto the App Store?......

Firstly, there are plenty of examples of useless software in the App store, I don't believe the vetting is about quality but rather to make sure software doesn't breach the terms of use. Secondly, I wasn't aware it was in the App store, perhaps you'd show me where.

Of course it's an individual choice whether to use such software, I'm only pointing out that the people who created it openly tell you it doesn't work properly. I can't find the promo video they made that shows it not working properly at the moment, however it would be worth reading their own website to get the idea. I just feel if you're going to suggest solutions to users here, that those users should be aware of all of this.

Hi Nils -- I did it as you said. I installed stream to me. That works when it comes to streming stuff on my mac to m ipad. However when I hit the airplay button, only the audio gets streamed to the ATV2, not the video. Do you have the same problem? It can't be a matter of CODEC since I can't even stream JPG stills....

Hello Efrommi

Hmm. No I have never encountered that problem you´re experiencing. However, I´m not an expert on this. I might just have been lucky :-)

What I have encountered though, is that other AirPlay apps have intereferred with the Stream to Me app. What normally happens is that I get 2 seconds of video, it then shuts down and I get a message on my iPhone that another app is running AirPlay (or something). What i do, is to shut down alll the apps that might be sending on AirPlay (like Music, etc). This works all the time.

I´ve never had problems with CODEC or anything, sorry

Nils

Which software are you referring to, Winston?

Have you looked at AirParrot? Anyone tried it and got the audio *and* video to work?

You are a genius! That worked perfect!
