Can I stream video to my wifi TV with Windows 8.1 on a Retina MBP

I was able to do it once.  I was able to play video on my Sony HD TV from windows 8.1 in my 15" Retina MBP.  The next day, that option disappeared.
How can I do it again?
What do I need to do?
I know I can do it with my Apple TV with itunes.  But I want to be able to do it outside iTunes.
I know it can be done.  I have done it once.  But I could not figure how to do it again.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Has anyone streamed a video in windows 8.1 under boot camp?

  • Problem viewing streaming video in some wifi networks, but not others

    When I am at work (university), I can not view YouTube videos or video streaming from news sites such as cnn mobile on my ipod touch 2g.
    <m.cnn.com/videos.jsp?ckey-cnn)06#__1_>
    When I called Apple support, they had me reset-restore. I still had the problem. I went to the Apple store Genius bar and the problem no longer existed, the videaos downloaded and played from both sites!
    But at my diner and at work, I get the message, "This movie could not be played" in a popup box with an OK button. The same message appears if I use the YouTube application. I click on any video, and the same popup appears. In Cnn the popup is preceded by a shaded capital Q that looks like the blue Quicktime Q; in Youtube the pupup is preceded by a YouTube icon in gray with the "Tube" surrounded by the rounded rectangle, their icoon...
    At the Apple store the popup never appeared, and the videos downloaded and played.
    I have no trouble playing movies I have downloaded from iTunes.
    I did not have this problem when I initially got my iPod Touch, and I think it appeared after one of the last two system upgrades, but I am not sure.
    I am curious that it the problem happens at two places, my diner and at work.
    The speed of my wireless work network, as judged by the ipod app speed test is 9915 kbps download and 6971 kbps upload, so plenty fast.
    The first time I noticed this issue was with the application "At Bat Lite" which also won't play video highlights at work.
    I do not have WiFi at home
    Any thoughts about what would cause this lack of functionality apparantly only at some networks but not others?
    Oh, one more piece of data: at work a Macbook will play YouTube both on ethernet and using wifi...
    Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions,
    Paul

    It seems I have two networks available at work, one is behind our firewall, and I login to it. This is the network that I can't view streaming video. There is also a "Guest" network that I don't need to login to. This one works with the YouTube and the news site videos.
    Thus, I conclude there is a setting that WiFi network administrators can invoke that specifically can block streaming video on some protocols (whatever the ipod touch uses) and not others (whatever the Macbook uses). But the same router hardware supplying the Guest network does not block these protocols. Presumably this has to do with security on one side of the firewall(?)
    Anyway, apparently outside of the WiFi controls available in the ipod touch settings.
    Weird...

  • How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
    Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

  • How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?

    How can I stream video from my laptop to apple tv while doing a different task on my laptop?  I want to be able to stream a video to my tv while browsing the internet or working on writing on my laptop. Thanks

    You would have to use airplay within iTunes then, unless you want to use 3rd party software (ie Beamer)

  • Windows 7 and Apple TV- can't stream video

    Hi:
    I can't stream video from itunes on a Windows 7 pc, to Apple TV (3rd generation). The ATV is only a week old but has been replaced with no luck. When I try to stream video, an error message pops up: "An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device Apple TV. The network connection timed out".
    - the ATV is not the issue as it was replaced
    - I can stream audio and photos from itunes, but can't stream video (which is in the proper format for ATV)
    - I installed itunes on an old xp machine and video streaming works!
    - both the xp machine and the Win 7 machine are on the same network, so the router must be ok
    - all firmware and software is up to date and everything has been rebooted (several times)
    - the error happens no matter if it is a wireless or wired connection
    Since XP can successfully stream video and is on the same home network as Win 7 and we know that both the ATV and the router are working properly, it seems to me that there must be an issue in my Win 7 config. Does anyone have suggestions??? Thanks!

    This is what is happening:
    With an iTunes playlists of about 13,000 songs, one song will start playing (with a huge lag before the cover art appears); when the first song is finished, a second will start with the cover art for the first song still on screen. Eventually the screen goes to black, the time bar for the seconf song will pop up and after a few beats the art for both and first AND second song appear on screen together. A moment later, the audio cuts out, the screen goes to black againand eventially the AppleTV homescreen pops up. I've tried the fixes I've read about on this board; restarting everything (AppleTV, MacBook, etc), closing and reopening Home Sharing on the all the devices, doing a restore on the Apple TV, etc. Everything worked fine until I installed the update.

  • How can I stream video from a P/DVR to my Mac

    Hi, How can I stream video from a Motorola dcx3400m P/DVR to my Mac? I have tried a Slingbox but the audio is out of sync witht the TV and it drives those watching on iPads or on the iMac in another room NUTS.
    Is it possible to use a TV tuner of some sort. I've looked at the eye TV thing but I live in Canada/USA region and the eye TV products all seem to be for Austrailia or the UK. The one product that might work is a DVR and I don't need to pay for that as I already have one.
    HELP!
    Jeff

    If your Mac has an audio input jack you can connect the output of a cassette machine to it (3.5mm stereo jack required). However many don't, so you will need a USB audio interface - Roland make a range. Alternatively you can buy cassette decks with a built in audio interface.
    You will need a program to record and edit the input: Audacity is free and is often bundled with USB-enabled players.

  • How can i stream video from mac os x 10 using roku to my tv?

    how can i stream video from mac os x 10 using roku to my tv?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X can't write in NTFS disks. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party app like Paragon for NTFS, being this application the best one to write in those disks.
    Another option is to format the external disk in FAT32 or exFAT on a PC, so you will be able to read and write in Macs and PCs without having to use third-party apps. Do it on a PC and copy the files of your external drive to the internal disk first

  • Can you stream video from itunes using 1st generation appleTV

    can I stream video using itunes on my PC and an appleTV(1st generation)?

    AppleTV 1 works differently.
    It has a sync/share mode and sharing (streaming only) modes set up by pairing the unit with iTunes on computers using the Settings>Computers menu.
    The first sync and share connection is for one itunes library and allows you to sync compatible media to the unit's hard drive as well as stream the rest seamlessly if itunes is runniung and the drive has filled up - this media is accessed under My Music, My Movies etc.
    Sharing libraries stream only and are accessed via My Shared Movies, Music etc.
    Yes, Handbrake is a video converter that has AppleTV presets - use AppleTV1 preset or a simple universal Apple preset.
    See:

    ATV1 does not understand Home Sharing or video Airplay.

  • How can I stream videos that come into my imac directly to my AppleTV and then my TV

    how can I stream videos that come into my imac directly to my AppleTV and then my TV?

    Or... you can just use a 3rd party solution.
    Best solution for streaming audio and video to your Apple TV from an Mac or Windows PC... without using iTunes... is Airparrot. You can screen share your Mac to your Apple TV. It even lets you select your overscan/underscan and video quality.
    Download it and install. It shows up in your system tray. As long as you are on the same network as your Apple TV, just right click the Airparrot icon and select Apple TV as your Airplay device.
    http://airparrot.com
    Then hook up your wireless keyboard and mouse and plop on the couch for some supersized web browsing.
    It's 20 minute sessions for the free version, $9.99 for full and can gift to someone for $4.99 if you buy for yourself.

    can i stream video from an hd camera to an ipad?

    It would depend on the camera, and the software, there are items like airparrot, drone camera, or video surveilance cameras that have ipad apps for viewing. A great deal more research is in store I'm afraid.
    Google the following for an example

    If you are using your phone as a hotspot for you to connect your iPad to for streaming then YOU will be charged for data... not your carrier.

  • Why can't I can't stream videos or attach documents/pictures to emails

    About 2 months ago, I started having problems w/ Firefox. It started that I couldn't attach a document on my email. Then I noticed that I could no longer stream videos on websites such as Hulu. I still can't stream videos and when I try to attach a document to email, I get a red warning saying the document did not attach. I had to go back to Internet Explorer to perform these actions.

    I don't know. They play just fine on mine. Haw are you trying to view them?

    After installing ios 6 on my ipad 2 I can't stream video off Netflix and when I try to it locks up my router is there a fix for this?

    After installing Lion the system won't recognize the G-Tech External drive via USB, but reconnected to Firewire and works okay.  Have an Apogee duet that needs the FW port, so really need to get the drive connected via USB.  Appreciate any assistance.

    Can I stream video from my Iphone 4 to a regular flat screen tv?

    The mini-Displayport is for output only — you can't feed a signal into it. I suppose there's a chance that this ability may become available through the Thunderbolt port in the 2011 and later models, but we'll have to wait and see.
