Airport express video

I have recently gone wireless and I love my airport express, it is awesome being able to stream audio to my stereo. I can't wait til apple implements video streaming too, I can see it now, everyone of my dvd's on my 10 terrabyte hard drive being able to stream a movie to any tv in the house and a rf/bluetooth remote control to access my itunes video player straight from the tv. the future looks bright for apple :):)

Satya,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
I suggest going to a Blog or Forum to talk/inquire about future products. Here is a User tip about discussion future topics in Apple Discussion by A. Brody.

HT201335 I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but stream the sound to my Airport Express linked speakers. However re Airplay icon doesn't show up in iTunes when playing the rental video. Is there a way around that?

I want to watch an iTunes rental video on my MacBook Pro but AirPlay the audio to my AirPort Express linked speakers. However the AirPlay icon isn't available when arching the rental video in iTunes. Is there another way? Do I need to but an AppleTV? I don't own a TV, hence why I want to watch on my MacBook Pro.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
With or without an Apple TV you can't send video to one device and audio to another using AirPlay.

Can I stream videos using airplay to appletv2 and play the audio thru stereo using airport express?

I have apple tv 2 connected to my HDTV. I am streaming VEVO videos from iphone to ATV2. Would like to play the audio through my sony stereo. Would love to do it wirelessly if possible. Can this be done? Would airport express connected to stereo make this possible? If not what are my options.

The only input ports I have on the stereo is a dmport, auxillary and headphone jacks. I really would like to do this wireless. If, instead of appletv2, I had google tv which VEVO uses could the airport express be used? Seems like I recall reading somewhere that using 2 of them created a wireless connection for audio. Is that right?
Thanks for any advice.

Video playback while using airport express

For some reason I can't view music videos on my computer while listening using external speakers with my airport express. Is there some setting I'm missing? Thanks for the help

This bug has gotten worse in 10.5.7, now the attempt to play a music video while using AE speakers results in a iTunes authorization request. No matter how many times you try, it will not authorize to play these protected videos while AE speakers are selected as output.
I talked to Apple Support and they were unaware of this bug. They directed me to a kb article that talked about authorizing using the admin account and this did not resolve the problem.
The only fix is to deselect the AE speakers.
I have logged a bug report with Apple for this issue.
I think it would help if others logged the bug as well if we want to get it fixed. We should be allowed to use AE speakers for this type of playback in any case.
Best regards,
JP

If you had an AppleTV 1 this function was available - you could play a movie or music and send the audio to any available Airport 'speaker'.
AppleTV2 lost this useful function.

Apple TV2 airplay audio (via Airport Express) works well with music, but won't work with any video.

I have an ATV2 and Airport Express connected to speakers all connected to the same network. It all works with music, but won't work with any video audio. In my ATV's settings I've selected my AirPort Express speakers. It works for music, why not everything else? Is there a fix or work around?

Netflix is first on that list...What I mean is, if there is a feature that allows for a wireless audio connection to the Apple TV, why wouldn't the developer allow it. To keep me from enjoying a more convient connection? I can have the same listening experience on a wired connection...

Problems streaming Destinos videos once Airport Express installed

I just added an Airport Express and an Apple TV to my home iMac. (The Airport Express is my only "router".)
Everything works great except one problem.
I can no longer watch a series of 30-minutes lanuage videos (Destinos: http://learner.org/series/destinos/watch/index.html?ep6 ) on my iMac without restarting each video every 5 minutes and them jumping to the point it last froze to continue viewing the remainder of the video. Suggestions? It feels like some kind of buffering problem.

i have an airport express that was working fine
wirelessly with the green light sustained and
everything was fine until i had to put a password on
my wireless router to keep unauthorized users from
slowing down my connection. i am using a linksys
wireless-G router and once i installed a password the
airport express isn't recognized by the computer and
there is a yellow light blinking instead of a
sustained green light. how do i fix this problem?
Did you add a WEP password, if possible use a WPA password instead.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Is it Possible to stream video off of my macbook pro to my apple tv2 but stream the audio to my airport express?

I know you can play music over multiple speakers but is it possible to play video on an apple tv and the audio that goes with that video on an airport express at the same time? It would be nice to have some better sound then my tv speakers while watching movies.

i haven't used Airfoil (or Airfoil Video Player for that matter) to stream movies but it ought to work with TV - at least that's what the developers claim. and you are able to select multiple remote speakers so the audio can be sent to TV and AX simultaneously (mute TV to have sound via AX only).
the only problem is content from the iTS:
Because it is impossible to control playback of DRMed iTunes Store videos, they can't be played with Airfoil Video Player
anyways, there is a (albeit limited) trial version available so it won't hurt giving the app a go.

Will there be a AirPort Express-base station, AirTunes that handles Video?

Will there be a AirPort Express-basstation med AirTunes that handles Video?

Nobody here knows as this is a user to user support forum. Speculation about future or possible Apple products is not allowed.
One product which can handle video which is available now is Elgato's eyeHome.
http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=products_eyehome
EyeHome allows you to access the digital content you have stored on your Mac - photos, music, video, movies - and enjoy it on your TV and home entertainment system. EyeHome features an easy-to-use and remote-controlled TV interface. From the main menu's list of "EyeTV" recorded television, "Movies", "Music", "Pictures" and "Web", you can simply access your library of digital content.
My eyeHome is connected to my Airport network via an Airport Express in WDS mode and it works really effectively.

Can't initiate video conference in iChatAV (using airport express)

I have a variation of a problem with starting video conference in iChat via airport express - did read previous posts to the subject but did not find a solution yet.
The problem is: I can't initiate the video conference with my new intel core duo iMac - but I can have one, when the user on the other side initiates it.
I assume this has to do with port forwarding on airport express, since I also have an older iMac G4 which until now was connected to the internet via Siemens ADSL modem C010-I(ethernet) and it worked just fine.
My firewall is off.
I tried to forward ports 4099, 5190 and 5193 (as suggested by www.portforward.com) but that didn't seem to solve the issue. Any other ideas, please?

Hi Reed,
If the modem routes then there is a chance it is doing DHCP as default if you have not changed it.
You can check by connection direct to the modem with your computer and then doing this:
Go to System Preferences > Network.
Select Built in Ethernet in the second drop down.
Select the TCP/IP tab
If the IP listed below the Using DHCP drop down appears the same as when you go here then the modem is in Bridge mode. If it appears to be in one of these groups:
192.168.xxx.xxx
10.xxx.xxx.xxx
or 172.16.xxx.xxx through 172.32.xxx.xxx then the modem is routing.
The Airport does DHCP by default as well.
You do not want two DHCP servers.
This can be turned off in Airport Admin Utility found in Applications/Utilities
Log in to the Airport in the samll window and then go to the Network tab
Deselect Distributing Addresses if the modem is routing.

5.2 update does not send audio from video played via Apple TV to AirPlay-enabled speakers and devices or AirPort Express.

I just updated my Apple TV to release 5.2, which is supposed to give Apple TV the ability to "Send stereo audio from movies, TV shows, and other videos on Apple TV to AirPlay-enabled speakers and devices (including AirPort Express and other Apple TVs)." Problem is, this does not seem to be the case.
I have two AirPlay enabled devices:
1) Bose SoundLink Air
2) AirPort Express
In the Apple TV menu, I selected Settings, AirPlay, Bose SoundLink Air. I then played a video; the audio from the video played from my projector's speakers - not from the Bose speaker. I then went back to Apple TV's Settings/AirPlay and selected "Airport Express" (which connected via an aux cable to a speaker)...audio continued to play over my projector's speaker. I can, by the way, play audio on both the Bose and the speaker connected to the Airport Express if I select either of them from the AirPlay menu.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the 5.2 update not working as described?

No. But, are your speakers only connected to the AE or are they also connected to an amplifier?
You would need to use a Toslink cable to go from the Apple TV to the speakers/amp.
I don't use this or know a lot about it, but it is wildly popular, inexpensive and may be of help:

Audio stream from airport express while watching a music video on laptop

Hello,
Can anyone help with instructions to have the audio portion of an itunes purchased video stream across the airport express while the video plays on the macbook. It seems to work fine with all of the music files but in trying to watch a video i purchased the audio will only play through the macbook. Any help is appreciated

Hello ehende2. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Sorry, but you won't be able to do this as this is a limitation of iTunes/AirTunes.
(ref: iTunes: Movie sound does not play through AirTunes)

Airport express and choppy streaming video

I am running AX with a DHCP router from my service provider. Up until recently I watched streaming video (Adobe Flash Player) with no problems. Now the video seems to stutter and have to rebuffer often and it seems to happen when Airport is "Looking for new Networks". This means the video stutters every 30 seconds or so. Is there any way to avoid this? My connection does not actually drop, it's just the streaming video that gets broken up.
So far I have tried to
manually stick to one channel
reset the airport express to factory settings (which actually helped a bit; stutters from every 10 seconds to every 30 seconds)
fiddled with interference robustness
Any suggestions?
AC

I'm not sure of the exact length restriction, but I have used a 100' cable with my AirPort Express Base Station (AX) to connect to the stereo and it worked just fine.

AirPort Express - watch video in itunes with SOUND via AirPort Express?

Ok I read it is only possible via Airfoil...
Sorry to bother you guys - no idea how to delee this...
Hello everyone!
I was overly excited to receive the airport express 802.11n Wi-Fi
and everything works wonderfully. But some trouble arose non the less:
The reason for the wireless AirPort was to allow projecting Videos via a Beamer on the wall
and have fantastic sound, even though the soundsystems are standing elsewhere.
But when opening itunes (it works with normal music just fine) and starting a purchased video there,
there is no way I can choose the external soundsystem to be used to generate the sound.
This drives me nuts! It would be really silly to not be able to use a soundtransmitter by apple
when watching a video by apple's itunes, wouldn't it? That makes no sense.
Please tell me there is a way to make it work....
Thank you for your time and help!
Lia

Apple does offer an option that does both. It's called the Apple TV.

Cant stream video sound from ITunes to stereo via Airport Express

I'm using a PC with wireless (Centrino 802.11g) with Itunes (Latest release 7.0.0.70) and for some reason the sound from Itunes video will not stream wirelessly to my stereo connected to my AirPort Express.
When the video is embedded in an Itunes playlist of MP3s, the sound will work fine through the AirPort Express with the MP3 tracks, but will toggle over to the PC speakers for the video.
Any ideas gratefully received?

Airtunes actually only support MP3/AAC audio streaming from iTunes. That's too bad for video.
The things is, even with other Airtunes streaming software, the streaming delay is such that the song will be off by a few second from the video. I guess Apple have choose to do not stream video sound until this may be resolve.
Therefore, I'm not aware of any solution to this issue.
