Apple TV. Can it work with quick time or VLC player?

So I like to download my media from other sources that Itunes usually.....
Can I stream video from my Mac to Apple TV opening the "film" with quicktime or VLC player?
Or do I need to get the content into Itunes first to watch it on the main TV, that is connected to Apple TV?
Thanks.....

There is an alpha program (as opposed to a beta) called AirFlick here http://ericasadun.com/ftp/AirPlay/ which is suppose to stream vid from your mac to Apple TV. I've not tried it yet but have downloaded the program. I used her other alpha program AirPlayer which works most of the time to stream video from iPhone/iPad to my laptop or desktop computer.
Here is her blog with a demo video http://www.tuaw.com/2010/12/20/airflick-turns-macintosh-into-an-airplay-data-ser ver/
Also not sure if it works with DRM vids.

  • HT201066 Does the screen record function work with quick time pro for windows?

    I am looking at purchasing QuickTime Pro for Winodiws (yes I will be getting a mac soon...) and I was wondering if the screen recorder function that is with quick time on macs is still available on windows?

    Screen recording is part of QuickTime X, not QuickTime Pro. QuickTime X is only available for Macs.

  • Bt Home Hub (fibre optic) can it work with my Time Capsule & Airport Express?

    I have just moved house after having no problems for years with my virgin cable I have now had to switch to Bt because cable is not available at my new address therefore I would like first and foremost to have my Time Capsule available to use as a hard drive, I am not too bothered about wi-fi as that comes from the bt hub, only thing is I am at a loss how the Time Capsule hard drive is not working. Also is there anyway the Bt Hub can connect/link to Time Capsule or even Airport Express.

    Your TC can be used bridged to the BTHub.. and plugged in by Ethernet.
    It is best to still use the TC wireless for the express to extend and you will find access easier.
    Always best to start with a factory reset when you do this.. The TC remembers too much from its last configuration.

  • HT201066 can I shoot in 16:9 with quick time?

    can I shoot in 16:9 with quick time?

    Neither QuickTime nor Photo Booth can make native recordings in 16:9 aspect ratio.
    iMovie versions after iMovie 5 can.  (Select 16x9 when creating a new project.)
    Software controls all Macs' inbuilt cameras.  For info on recording formats for some
    common apps, see http://discussions.apple.com/message/18535582   When comparing
    your Mac apps, use these relationships for Aspect Ratio ("16x9") versus Size Ratio (16÷9) :
    Aspect Ratio    Size Ratio       Application
        16x9             1.777778       Hi-Def
    1920x1080       1.777778       1080p Hi-Def
    1280x720         1.777778       720p Hi-Def (iMovie)
    1280x1024       1.250000       QuickTimeX (max)
    720x480           1.500000        FaceTime 
    1280x853         1.500586        Photo Booth

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - it looks like somebody has asked the hosts to remove your personal info from your post (it's not a good idea to post any personal info on any public forum).
    What do you 'stopped working and was closed, I can not work with him' ? What exactly are you seeing on the phone's screen ?
    If it's the activation screen and you can't remember your password for your account then see if you can get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com

  • Sharepoint list dataheet view error "Cannot connect to the server at this time. You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available"

    I have a List which is having around 14000 items in it.while opening that list in datasheet view it is giving error .
    Below is a summary of the issue:
    After selecting datasheet view beow error occurs:
        "Cannot connect to the server at this time.  You can continue working with this list, but some data may not be available."
        "Unable to retrieve all data."
        The item counts displays say 100 out of 14000 items.
    Exporting List to excel is giving only 2000 records out of 14000 records.
    Other Observations   -  
    This is happening to only one list on the site .There are other lists in the site whose no. of records is equal to 8000 to 9000.They are working absolutely fine without any error.
    Also, If I am saving this list as a template and creating another list with it ,then it is working absolutely fine with 14000 records,so the issue does not seem to be related with no. of records as the template list is working fine.
    I have checked the Alternate access mapping setting ,its fine.
    It should not be related to lookup,datefield or any other column as the list created from it template is working fine with all these columns.
    I checked below links also ,but doesn't seem to work in my case.

    I have spent two days to resolve this issue. Microsoft has released two KBs with reference to this issue...but are not appearing in search results at the top.
    I am sharing my finding.
    1. First install the
    KB2552989 (Hopefully you might have already installed it. The KB detetcts it and informs the user.)
    2. Then update registry by adding new key for data fetch timeout as mentioned inKB2553007
    These two steps resolved the issue in our environment. Hope it might help others as well.

  • Existing Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message on the iPhone after iOS 6

    After the IOS 6 update on my iPhone the Apple ID is not longer working with Face Time and Message. Each time I try to log in I receive the message that the password or the user is not right. But they are, because on all other devices and all other parts of the iPhone (iCloud, AppStore, iTunes) they are working. Other Apple IDs are working fine.
    What's wrong? Any idea?
    Thanks

    Blue
    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.
    Cheers

  • I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time  Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on  what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and  how to configure that disk

    I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
    Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
    what other
    external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
    how to configure that disk.
    A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
    Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
    Machine is not backing up my files
    on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
    is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
    the Fusion virtual machine.

    If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
    You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas  series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
    Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
    TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
    You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

    I have a printer epson TX210, but it doesn't work with my time-capsule. What need to do?

    What have you tried?
    You are going to get nowhere quick with the 6.1 utility in Mountain Lion if this is the only OS you have available.
    Look up how to install 5.6 utility under ML. At least then you can see printers. That is assuming you are trying to use USB.
    Has this worked ever on Mountain Lion? Did you download the drivers for that printer for ML?
    Plug it into a computer directly.. does it work? If it doesn't work locally it sure will not work via the network.

  • APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX

    APPLE TV DOES NOT WORK WITH NETFLIX, just a black screen and "Netflix is loading" message appears. I can´t even see Netflix´s home page or set up my account. Netflix is working fine on all other devices at home, but in Apple TV.
    I have tried the 8.8.8.8 DNS trick, the turn off procedure, the manual IP setting, but nothing....black screen still appears

    It started working.....!!!!!  (It seems someone back there is listening)
    I "forced" an upgrade, I mean it showed "AppleTV is updated", nevertheless I re-started the system using the "return to original configurations" option. Then it updated again by itself to a newer version....and started working perfectly.
    I have paired my apple wireless keyboard and it works fine, this way is easier to set up passwords or so (you can also do it with your remote).
    TIPS:
    I didn´t change any language or video quality configuration (scared to do so)
    I changed to ethernet (cable) instead of wireless
    My internet plan is 6 Megabytes (it was the same while it wasn't working)
    good luck!!
