YouTube AirPlay from ipad 2 with iOS 6

Since updating to iOS 6 on iPad 2 and iPhone 4S I can not airplay YouTube to ATV3. There is no you tube app for ipad right now either. I tried from safari on ipad and there is no Air play icon available. When using the iPhone app for you tube on either iPhone or ipd it says to enable mirroring. This is not a good option. I know the ATV3 has a native YouTube app, and it works great, but I miss being able to use air play from my devices. Is this a google not implementing air play in their app?

Which does return us to the real problem, AirPlay with full HD. I think YouTube, or Google, is just not interested in offering support for AirPlay. Apple TV's YouTube player it's the only good alternative with this device. If you want to add comments, likes, dislikes and messages then you are better off using the website. Use the desktop version for YouTube for AirPlay if you're using an iPad. You can go to m.youtube.com in the iPhone and should be ale to AirPlay.

I appreciate your comments, but my problem with iPad2and AirPlay is narrowed down to how Vimeo files are archived on Mikeslessons.com website. The weird thing that I previously stated still stands : iPhone5 can Airplay these archived movie mp.4 files , but the iPad cannot. So Apple still has conflicts with Vimeo movie files and how the iPad 2 or iPad 3 can read them them. I believe this happened with the upgrade to Mountain Lion IOS.

If someone can solve this riddle, your thoughts and comments are appreciated. Until then, this is an issue unresolved.

The network is not the issue. Apple needs to rewrite their script files for Airplay so they work with with buffered Vimeo mp.4 movie files. Vimeo is headquartered in New York and I have emailed them but no response. All other Airplay function work great! I love Airplay for playing Pandora, iTunes music and QuickTime.
