I was curious that if you have apple TV and an amazon prime account. Could you call up a movie on your laptop, or now Ipad and them mirror it to the apple tv, onto a big screen?
and if you could I'm sure this would take an large amount of bandwith, propoably poor video quality or choppy?
PowerMac, OS X Mountain Lion
I was able to stream Amazon videos via my 2012 MacBook Air through my AppleTV using Mountain Lion's mirroring feature. It ws a little choppy - not sure if it's my network or Mountain Lion. Amazon now has an app for the iPad, Amazon Instant Video to stream videos to your iPad. However, Amazon has the mirroring to the AppleTV feature turned off on the iPad.
You can now Mirror on iPad via Amazon Video App & it's NOT choppy! Crystal clear. (when I try to do it w/ Chrome browser on my MacBook Pro, it's choppy)
You stated that amazon prime has air play mirroring turned off for the ipad. Can you state the reason and is there a work-around for this. Any other examples of mirroring on ipad being turned off.
Thank you,
Dick
That's Amazons decision not Apple's, I suspect it's because of the license agreement with the studios, yes, many other content providers do the same thing.
Your solution is to purchase and rent from iTunes.
Definitely choppy using mbpr + latest atv. Only tested with hd tv episodes so far. I assume the same goes for movies.
Thank you for explaining what may be the only alternative.
Thats a very costly solution. I wish Apple would finally get a monthly subscription program i.e. Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime.
I am streaming from my iPad via HDMI. You can get the necessary cable/adaptors at the Apple store. Works great.
airplay mirroring with amazon prime?
