HT4352 stream videos to apple tv from PC

How to play videos dowloaded on pc to apple tv, wirelessly?

I keep my videos in iTunes. Well when I say that, it's not quite correct.
If I have a number of short clips that have been (say) taken on my phone along with photos, I may just leave them in iPhoto.
However I generally edit most of my video into a single video event with titles etc etc, these I put into itunes. I use genre and playlists to organise them. When someone wants to watch the movie of our (say) 2002 vacation for example, they'll find it in movies, which is where I suspect everyone else, besides the person doing the organising would expect to find them.

How can i stream video over apple tv from Macbookpro?

I can stream video(youtube) off my Iphone, but not Macbook. On my Iphone an icon shows up for some video streams that allows you to select appletv to stream the content to tv, but I don't see that same Icon when browsing and playing youtubes or video on my macbook.???

Unfortunately with that speed you are not going to have a good experience with HD streaming. I would make sure everything is set to stream SD. Go into the settings - iTunes Store and you can switch there for any purchases/rentals made through them.
If you use Netflix (or other streaming sites) go into your account(s) and see if you can switch to a lower quality stream. I know Netflix has that in place.

WARNING! NO other video player BUT itunes will stream video to Apple TV from ipad

Despite the lists and others telling you otherwise...you only get audio . NO video.
I have ipad 2 with 4.3.3.
The only option you have is to update to ios 5 and mirror. Which is less than ideal, and also gets a lot of interference from other networks.
A truly dissapointing limitation of this technology, as itunes is very limted in playing different video formats.
Just a heads up if your thinking of getting an apple tv 2 for this purpose.
I spent the money and now just have a useless 'netflix' player.

Unfortunately I'm just an unpaid volunteer just like everyone else here who tries to help other users.
I have several Apple TV's at work and at home and they all work as expected. In testing various problems raised by other users I am able to deliberately introduce interference and replicate the problems that some face, however interference is your problem not Apple's if you don't set up your network to avoid interference, there is nothing that I or Apple can do about it.
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.
I note from that list that VLC streame (the paid version) is one such app that does work with AirPlay.

Can I stream video to apple tv and sound to airtunes at the same time?

Does anyone know whether I can stream video to apple tv and sound to airtunes (airport express) at the same time? I am trying to build a setup where I watch the video via a projector (connected to ATV) and get sound from my hi-fi system which sits on the opposite side of the room.
Has anyone tried that? Would it work?
Thanks!

Not controlling things from AppleTV 2
AppleTV 1 used to be able to output its audio to an Express AppleTV cannot.
Maybe using Airplay from itunes/idevice.

Apple TV streaming videos but not music from iTunes

My ATV (latest updates) will stream video (and audio from that video) from my itunes on my MacBook Pro, but no music from the music section of itunes. I'm not on a VPN or anything. I can see the ATV option from itunes and I can select it for a split second, but then it defaults back to the computer speakers with no sound ever going to ATV. My ipad and iphone stream perfectly well to my AppleTV. My accounts and home sharing are all set up OK. Music is currently checked and playing on Mac. Why will it stream video (and the audio that is with the video), but no songs?
Thanks for any suggestions!

If your ATV is connected by wi-fi, switch it to an Ethernet cable and see if that solves the problem. If the wi-fi NIC is failing it will start dropping the network connection at random and that will cause it to drop out of iTunes.

Streaming videos through apple tv

Since the upgrade to iOs8 I cannot stream videos to my tv through appletv. If they work, it crashes a few seconds into it.
Also, the little icon on the bottom right corner of the video where I would choose which device to play the video on (phone, and other apple tvs), is gone. Do we have to go to settings and enable air play every single time?
I want that icon back.

I am having the same problem. Since the IOS8 Upgrade,I have been unable to stream videos without it crashing every few minutes. Nothing else has changed. Same router, same devices all with the same wiFi connection. Most of the time when it crashes and I finally get it to start again, the video always starts from the beginning again, very annoying. Before the upgrade.... no problems at all. I also checked out the link to resolving issues with airplay etc. and nothing there has solved this problem. I hope Apple will address this problem and come up with a fix. I love my Apple products, but love them even more when everything works properly

Streaming content to Apple TV from Late 2007 MacBook Pro without AirPlay

What is the method of streaming content to a third-generation Apple TV from a late 2007 MacBook Pro? This Mac doesn't support AirPlay.
If this feature is not supported by Apple, what are some third-party options?

Software to Stream Video to Apple TV

Does anyone know if there is any software (Mac or PC) that will send the streaming video I am watching to the Apple TV? Airfoil does this with audio content without the need to go through iTunes. I am wondering if there is a comparable application for video.

Actually, I found a Windows based software that will. When I want "wrong" I will know where to look.
Don't take anything said in these forums personally. The lack of civility and bad manners that occur a bit too frequently here can be discouraging otherwise. Some people are just clueless when it comes to manners and decorum in a public discussion.
If you found Windows software that will allow Internet video to be streamed to an ATV, I'd be interested in hearing about it.

Watching ESPN3 Live Streaming Video on Apple TV

Can I view live streaming video (such as an ESPN3.com broadcast) on my Apple TV? Basically I want to know if Apple TV can display what is on the monitor of my MacBook Air on my TV.

Try this service out: http://www.playon.tv/index.php
I'm currently testing the free trial. Works pretty good.

How do I rotate CBS app video on Apple TV from iphone 5?

When I play a show on my iphone 5 and airplay it to Apple TV from the CBS app (which doesn't rotate on iphone 5), the image is sideways. How do I rotate it on Apple TV?

Rotate the TV.
Seriously though... how does the image appear on the iPhone, portrait or landscape?
Keep in mind, not all apps support AirPlay Mirroring and this may be the result of the way the app developers coded to app to discourage users from doing Mirroring without blocking it entirely.
Also, ensure that Portrait lock is not enabled on the iPhone in Control Center.

Having a problem streaming video, but not audio, from Amazon Prime through Apple TV.

I get the audio fine, but no picture when using AirPlay for Amazon Instant Video from iPhone or iPad. It worked before. I have AirPort Extreme and great connectivity.

The app likely does not support AirPlay... contact Amazon and find out.

Can I stream through my Apple TV from my Android phone?

CCan I stream from my Android phone to my Apple TV

You can only stream from your mac using iTunes. You can't 'push' video from a website for example.
For the home-sharing. Is your computer on and running iTunes? Are the videos in the correct format?
It needs to meet the compatibility of the ATV
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 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
In iTunes you need to go to advanced - choose photos to share, if you haven't done so already.

Unable to Stream Video on Demand files from NAS on latest version of AMS 5.0.3

Hi,
I was hoping that someone could assist me.
Our organisation has recently purchased Adobe Media Server Standard to deploy to two Windows 2008 R2 servers (core edition) to stream flash content (video on demand only) which is resident on NAS storage.
I have considerable difficultly in streaming content from NAS and from the literature I have read and the configuration I have done it should be possible.
The steps I have taken to attempt to get this to work are as follows:
Installation
- Installed AMS 5.0.1 on both servers using the default TCP ports and Apache was not installed as part of the install
- Both AMS instances upgraded to the latest release AMS 5.0.3
- Windows Firewall on the servers disabled (we use hardware firewalls) and TCP connectivity verified by using telnet to connect these servers on 1935 and 80
Initial Configuration
- As we only will be using video on demand I removed the live, livepkgr and multicast applications from the /applications folder. Vod is the only application remaining
- Using the videoplayer in the /samples/videoplayer we were successfully able to view the sample streams
Configuration to stream from NAS
- I modified the VOD_DIR in the ams.ini file in the /conf folder to reflect the NAS location (\\{nas FQDN\sharename}
- Our NAS share has NTFS permissions applied and our AMS servers are joined to Active Directory. I created an AD account that had membership of the group that had read rights to the NAS share.
- I then reconfigured the AMS windows service to Log on with the AD account (as per the install guide: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/configadmin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119f2925 e64-7fc7.2.3.html)
Issues Experienced
- Whenever I change the AMS windows service to use an AD user (and not the Local System account), the service will run for only a short time (time often varies) before the service stops. In the application event log the AMS (Core) component
logs the error "Failed to create process mutex".
- The issue experienced is similar to a previous post by an FMS 3.5 user (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650522)
Troubleshooting:
- To rule out a permission issue, I confirmed that the AD user created could actually read from the NAS share
- I also gave the AD user read/write permission to the AMS install directory. I have also added the AD user to the local admin group. Still get the "Failed to create process mutex" error and service stops.
- We created a test share on the NAS that had no restrictions set (everyone full control) and reconfigured the ams.ini to use this. The service still stops.
- I reconfigured the ams.ini back to the default path (local storage) and attempted to start the AMS windows service with the AD account. The service still stops which seems to confirm the issue is not related to the NAS storage/permissions itself
- I gave the servers machine account from AD read/write access to the NAS shares (both test and live shares) and reconfigured the AMS windows service to use the local system account. Whilst the windows service remains stable and runs,
streams do not work
- I have been testing using rtmpdump and a player (http://osmf.org/configurator/fmp/):
- With the player the player connects and the stream remains in a "buffering state"
- With rtmpdump we get the "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" error. The stream definately exists. I have the rtmpdump log file but not sure how to upload it to this post
- The above issues/behaviour is experienced from both servers
Workaround:
- The only way I can get NAS streaming to work is to map the NAS share as a network drive from the server
- On the same server I then stopped the AMS windows service and started AMS as a console application (ams.ini is pointing to the NAS location)
- Streaming then works however this is not an exceptable workaround for a enterprise server that will be streaming content to the Internet. Having to rely on mapped network drives and console applications is certainly far from ideal.
Should it be possible to have the windows service run under the context of another account and to be able to stream without then having to have a mapped network drive?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Jason
UPDATE: to add further, I have just tested this on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard edition with the full UI and I get the exact behaviour/problems as documented above. The issue I am experiencing is not related to the fact I am using the core edition of Windows.

HI,
I have managed to address my issue and get this working!
When reconfiguring the AMS service to use the AD account you MUST also reconfigure the Adobe Media Administration Server to use the AD account.
This mismatch in accounts was causing the mutex issue and stopping the AMS account from running. Read access to the NAS and log on as a service right on the AMS server
was all that required for the stream from NAS to work.
If any Adobe staff read this thread - can I please request that the section on "Mapping Directories to Network Drives" in the "Configuring the Content Storage" section of the help guide (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/configadmin/adobemediaserver_5.0.3_config_adm in.pdf) be revised to be clearer as to what windows services need to be reconfigured
to support AD authentication
Thanks
Jason

Is it possible to stream Video to Apple TV (via Beamer with no real audio output) and at the same time stream Audio to an Airplay compatible device? (Bose Soundtouch)

I currently have the following set-up:
Ipad Mini Retina (with Airplay)
Beamer without proper audio output (picobeamer)
Bose Soundtouch (with Airplay)
Apple TV (3rd Gen)
When I stream a video via the Ipad, I either have the sound on my Soundtouch or Video via the beamer. Is there an option to have both at same moment? It really looks like I cannot have both at the same moment?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, you can't split the Airplay stream as you would like to.
