Airplay mirrors everything except video

Apple TV 4.4.2 and Ipad2 - Mirroring seems to work with photos the desktop and everything except videos - they stream to the apple TV but don't mirror on the iPad. The Apple blurb about Airplay seems to suggest that videos should mirror and shows screenshots of Cars 2 being mirrored. What am I doing wrong?

What video are you trying to AirPlay.Websites and third party Apps need enabling before they will allow AirPlay of Video content. Some Website/App developers have not enabled their products, some simply haven't got around to it yet, others have stated that they won't be enabling AirPlay (likely as a result of licensing issues).
I have created a User Tip to list Apps that have been tested with Video Airplay, if you have any Apps that you have tested please leave details in the comments at the bottom of the User Tip or email me if you don't have commenting privileges.

Airplay mirroring not compatible with adobe flash player videos

anybody else have this problem with playing adobe flash player video via Airplay mirroring? The video freezes on me and the audio quits...

It is on OSX though. They are playing it from a laptop.
And AirPlay freezes quits and generally does not work well regularly unless you have an absolutely perfect network setup. I am assuming you are using WiFi. If you want to use AirPlay you will probably at least need ATV connected via a wired connection.

Can you block the onscreen keyboard of iphone while using airplay mirroring with apple tv?

i would like to use airplay mirroring for presentations but when logining into say youtube or email i do not want my keyboard being replicated on the big screen. Is there an option just to mirror everything except the keyboard?

mirroring size if perfect, i want to block out the on screen keyboard when loggin into something or any typing what so ever. This would be more for privacy when doing extended presentations where i would not like to go in, shut the mirroring off type my password into xxxx and then reapply mirroring to continue on with my display.

Airplay Mirroring between MacMini (without Monitor) and ATV

Hello,
i´m using the Mac Mini only as a Server in the storeroom. I did´t connect a Monitor to the Mini. If i want to change something on the Mini
i´m using VNC (iPad) or Screen-Sharing (iMac)!
Now i want to use the Airplay Mirroring function to stream video/audio to my Apple TV in the living room or Bedroom. I want to use some
streamingservices like HBO (in Germany it´s called RTL-Now.de a flashed based TV-Channel) or sometimes i want to use Safari on the big screen.
I only get the audio by Airplay Mirroring. The video signal ist bad. There are crazy colors on the TV (look the picture).
I try to solve the problem my changing the Airplay Setting (Resolution, optimize for ATV...). I changed the video settingt in ATV to auto but no success.
Do you have a idea?
Bastian

It only works when there is a Monitor connected to the mini! If not you see the result in my picture.
The question to Apple: Why?

Airplay mirroring no longer working for videos played in iTunes

After the latest software update for iTunes on my Macbook Pro, Airplay mirroring stopped working with my Apple TV from iTunes. I can still mirror anything on my Macbook display, except it won't mirror any video that I play with iTunes. All of my software is up to date. I've followed all the guidelines of ensuring that everything is connected to the same network, rebooting, etc. Is there a glitch in the latest iTunes software update?

Here is the compatibility table
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
You may want to also try converting using the Apple TV preset in Handbrake to see if that helps

Can't get video via Airplay Mirroring from iPad to TV

I am trying to watch NFL Rewind using my iPad2 through Airplay Mirroring to Samsung Smart TV but, I am only getting an audio and not the video.. Can someone PLEASE help me how to get the video?

Make sure the App you are trying to use supports Video mirroring some don't for copyright reasons.
If You can mirror your iPads home screen, then mirroring works and its up to the actual App to allow the mirroring of their Video source.

Airplay Mirroring: What is the maximal resolution for non-video content?

I want to mirror a Safari window from my Mac Mini (latest model) to a monitor using an ATV3. Whenever I do that the resolution on themonitor is rather limited. Is the Airplay Mirroring limited to 720p when the mirrored content is not a video?

It really depends on the display you are trying to connect with. I would contact the author of SwitchRes and let them know that, your Mac age, and model, and they might be able to suggest the proper setting.

Airplay mirroring between my MacBook Pro and Apple TV (1080p one) has always worked fine until now. I only sometimes get video but usually just audio. Has anyone experienced the same issue?

When using Airplay mirroring between macbook pro and apple tv I cannot see video, only hear the audio. Worked fine before. Any suggestions on what the problem could be?

I have the exact same problem. The picture is very slow, incredibly pixelated... and renders my apple tv virtually useless until this problem gets resolved. I currently have an apple tv 3, ipad retina, iphone 4s, and a 2011 macbook air. I use the apple tv almost exclusively for mirrored content. And this is definitely causing quite a problem for me.
I had been able to use this for presentations as well- but until this problem gets resolved - I may have to look for a backup solution/product. And I imagine that I'm not alone in this... Please get this resolved quickly!

Can I send live camcorder video from my iPhone 4S to Apple TV Gen3 using AirPlay Mirroring?

Our bar band just purchased a couple TV sets to hang on light stands at our shows... we'd like to walk around with a handheld camcorder or iPhone and send that live video to the TV sets.   We are thinking of using an iPhone 4S and an Apple TV... connect the iPhone 4S to the Apple TV (Gen 3) via AirPlay Mirroring... then walk around the dance floor with the iPhone 4S using it's camcorder and display that live feed to the TV sets.
Will this work?
Is there a better way?   The other option we were thinking would involve some kind of wireless video transmitter and receiver.
TIA,
RossInGA

Yes
Is there a better way?   More than likely your best solution would be commercial equipment, mirroring live images works fine around my home, but may not work so well in other environments. The iPhone also shows the camera controls, but then again that could be a desired effect.

Everything looks good except videos (AVI files)

Hi,
Everything looks great on my macbook pro except videos which look horrible. The worst is videos I take with FlipMino or Kodak Zi8. They look fantastic on my destkop PC, but on my macbook pro, they look abismal.
The colors are ugly, the video is grainy, the greens have terrible color noise. It looks worst in Quicktime (with Perian and/or Divx installed) than in VLC, but VLC looks bad too.
Flash videos on the web are much better. Not as good as my desktop LCD (HP f2105 monitor).
Any ideas? Pictures look AWESOME...
Also, in bootcamp, win7 installed, all colors are somewhat off.
Any ideas?
Many thanks.

Well i cant tell you exactly why the AVI movies are like that for you, but i would suggest that if every other Movie format looks good, i would suggest converting it to a different format. If you have QT Pro you can do that easily as well as iMovie.

AirPlay Mirroring from 10.8 Won't Start Sending Video (or Audio)

This question may have been answered, but searches for me keep coming up with people who don't have the AirPlay Mirroring icon showing up in the menu bar, which isn't the problem I'm having.
In my case, the Mac is compatible (latest-gen Air, 10.8.5), and the Apple TV (3rd gen, latest software) shows up in the list in the menu bar and Displays pref pane (as well as the Sound Output pref pane).
However, if I select the ATV, the Mac's screen resolution will change to what looks like 1080p with no corresponding response on the ATV (I have it set to conference room mode), and the right side of the menu bar and Displays pref pane both hang on a beachball for a consistent period of about 15 seconds. After a fixed timeout, the AirPlay Mirroring request is cancelled and the Mac goes back to the default resolution and no mirroring setup.
A smiliar thing happens if I select the ATV in the Sound Output pref pane--no sound from the ATV, and the pref pane hangs on a beachball for a while before eventually switching back to the internal speakers.
The devices are both on the same WiFi network, which shouldn't be overloaded or have any interference, but it is a corporate network, so I'm assuming that there is some port or protocol being blocked that is interfering with the actual mirroring connection even though the discovery is working okay.
My question, then, is:
1) Is there anything I'm overlooking that would cause this to work?
2) Assuming no, does anybody know what port might be blocked that would cause this behavior? I want to know what, specifically, I'm complaining about when I go to the higher-ups in the IT department to try and get it bypassed.

Hi felix69,
Welcome to the Apple
Discussions
iChat uses ports above port 1024 and consequently
like an On-line game needs these ports enabled in the
modem and any router you have..
iChat also uses the Quicktime Streaming speed and
this needs to be set to 1.5Mbps/T1/LAN in System
Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab
Can you tell us what you have done so far ?

Cheers

OS Mavericks has disabled Airplay mirroring on my Mid 2010 MBP, on all apps except iTunes. WHY???!!!

A major function of my computer has now been disabled - not because the MBP cannot run it (as proven by Mountain Lion and current iTunes functionality) which is now, in my opinion, rendering the 3 year old computer 'not fit for purpose'!!
I can't even stream the BBC iPlayer from safari onto my v3 Apple TV!!!
(one of many things I could do with OS Mountain Lion)
Apple, please rectify this quickly.

Hello Liam,
It sounds like you are not seeing the AirPlay mirroring icon on your MacBook Pro after upgrading to Mavericks. I found an article with steps you can take when you do not see the AirPlay icon. I recommend reviewing the full article and specifically steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring:"
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

Airplay Mirroring shows only black screen on ATV

I have a mid 2011 MacBook Pro and a 3rd generation Apple TV. When I installed Mountain Lion a couple of weeks ago and tried out Airplay Mirroring, it worked fine.
I wanted to try it out again today, but it doesn't work anymore. When switching to Airplay Mirroring by clicking on the icon in the menu bar, the Apple TV turns black and I am getting the color wheel on the MBP ever time I get to the menu bar. The Airplay Mirroring button is unresponsive and the only way to get the color wheel to go away is to restart the MBP.
I've already restarted the Apple TV multiple times, as well as my Time Capsule.
When streaming videos from within iTunes using AirPlay, everything works fine. Also AirPlay Mirroring from my iPhone works fine.
Anyone have any suggestions what could be the cause of the black screen and MBP crash?

Just chiming it that I have the very same problem. I bought an AppleTV yesterday. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 (Is that Mountain Lion, or Lion? Whatever, it's the latest OS. Stop with silly names Apple - just versions OK - I digress). I have 2.7 Ghz Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM. So, I am within specs for AirPlay mirroring.
So, it mirrored once fine. I logged out of the MacBook and into another account, and it would show a blank screen on the TV. Thought it might be something with parental controls or something, so logged back into my account, and now all we get is a blank screen. Reboots of the AppleTV do nothing. Went ahead and installed the latest firmware on the AppleTV.
All other AirPlay devices work fine. I can stream from my iPhones.
This is so not like Apple to have such a buggy feature shipped with a device. I probably wouldn't use it that much, but don't put it in there if it doesn't work right. There are several threads on this topic, so it's not a unique problem.
Also, Photostream for AppleTV is poo poo, too. Another topic.
