Developer question. App for camera roll and airplay

Question

TUAW posted an [URL="http://www.tuaw.com/2010/11/24/apple-tv-hacking-spelunking-into-the-airpl ay-video-service/"]article[/URL] today about using the private API for streaming video over AirPlay which apple does not currently allow for 3rd party developers. AirPlay can only be audio for us right now. In it, the article shows a 1 line code for MPMoviePlayerController that can allow this for any video.
[CODE]self.movieController = [[[MPMoviePlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:CINDY_PATH]] autorelease];
[movieController setAllowsWirelessPlayback:YES];
movieController.view.frame = self.view.bounds;
[self.view addSubview:movieController.view];[/CODE]
My question is, how would one go about to write an app that can gain access to the Camera Roll videos, begin playing it, and put in this code to allow for streaming videos shot with the iPhone to the Apple TV2? I know that it can't go in the AppStore, I really just want something I can use personally to instantly put videos up on the screen of my 1 year old son. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Just installed and tested the updates for the iPhone 4 and ATV.
When airplaying videos from the iPhone 4 to ATV, all videos in the iPod App, videos section, can be airplayed with no problem. However, for videos in the "photos" app (ie: videos you've recently taken with your iPhone camera), there is simply no airplay button. The still photos have an airplay button, and can be airplayed to your ATV with no problem. But the videos cannot. This is odd and disappointing for me, because this was the feature I was most excited about: Taking a video of my 7-month-old son with my iPhone 4 at one point during the day, then airplaying it to the ATV to show my wife and others later in the day, without having to bother to synch my iphone to my computer, put the video into iTunes, and navigate to it on the ATV.
