Jumpy video through airplay

When I stream video through my AppleTV, as soon as the Airplay kicks on, the video and audio quality become jumpy. It basically sounds and looks like everyone has the hiccups. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I've replaced my HDMI cable but it still happens, especially when the AppleTV hasn't been used for a few days.

your not alone I use to do airplay with my Denon avr1913. I would play all the music videos that were on my phone.
now all I get is audio. this is the only reason I bought apple tv. this really dissappointing apple better do something or I want a refund. I doubt they will respond to this. an they better not say it has to do with my internet speed either. everything still the same.

Does the new Directv App allow video through Airplay?

Anyone know if the new Directv app for iPad 2 allows video through airplay? I'm only getting audio when watching live TV and movies through the app. I found a few articles that indicated the app would allow videa through airplay, but it doesn't seem to be working. I wasn't sure if there was a setting I needed to change or something else I should be doing.

How did you import the photos?
Are the missing photos perhaps referenced? Then they cannot upload to iCloud.
You can check with a smart album, if you have any photos in the library, that cannot upload to iCloud.

ITunes will not play music videos through airplay

This is a specific user account issue. If I create a new account I do not have this issue. That being said I really want to solve this for my existing user login.
Music Videos (and tagged as such) play in iTunes fine.
If I select my AppleTV (which is listed as an airplay device). It completely ignores the selection and continues to play on my Mac. I am unable to play Music Videos over airplay.
When playing music I am able to select any airplay device and it works fine.
When playing movies I am able to select any airplay video device and it works fine.
If I change the Music Video tag to Movies it plays fine
If I change it to Home Videos it plays fine.
If I try to launch iTunes in safe mode it fails to play at all because of the lack of Quicktime support.
Obviously it's something in my ~/Library that is messing it up somehow.
The only plugin I have is AudioScrobbler.bundle and removing launching iTunes does not solve it.
I've tried recreating all of my iTunes preference files and that doesn't solve the issue.
It's maddening!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg

I have narrowed it down to the ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iTunes.(incredibly long hash).
Removing this file causes a new one to be regenerated and that solved nothing.
Removing the ~/Library/iTunes directory and the ByHost preferences file and rebooting did work temporarily.
There was only one plugin (AudioScrobbler.bundle) in the iTunes directory.
I was able to play a music video and select the AppleTV and then broadcast to it. This lasted last then a few hours and now it's back to the way it was before. Select the AppleTV is silently ignored.
Highly frustrating. I have a broke and fixed version of the com.apple.iTunes ByHOST preference file but doing a diff of the two is useless as most of the xml entries are long strings of hash values. No human discernable difference between the working and not working files. At this point I defintely want to file a bug report.

How do i play video simultaneously through airplay and on iPhone

Hi, I'm currently using an iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2, and i require playback of video via AirPlay to a projector from here and it works perfectly fine with a wifi plug-in bought separately. However, i wish to have playback on both the projector screen and my iPhone, but iPhone only shows a TV-out screen. My teacher says it could be a mechanism to help the phone save on energy during playback by choosing to only play the video through AirPlay and not on the iPhone Called Apple Support but i didn't really get the answer that i needed. Will this problem be solved if i used an Apple TV instead? Or are there existing third-party apps available that will help me achieve my desired effect?

It is stated that mirroring requires recent hardware (2011 or later)

However you can still use 3rd party solutions like Airparrot which do it via software

HT4437 Streaming videos from apps through Airplay

Hello,
I'm trying to stream video content through an app on my iPad through Airplay. Is this possible. I have an ABC app (which streams all their shows/programming), but I'm having a hard time getting the video images to come through. I can hear the sound. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple community.
The ABC app cannot be sent to the Apple TV via airplay, you need to use mirroring.

When I use AirPlay to mirror a video through my iPad there is a lag at times. Does anyone know how to improve this?

When I use AirPlay to mirror a video through my iPad there is a lag at times. Does anyone know how to improve this?

Since I updated my apple TV firmware the other day to 4.4.2 (3160) My video streamed from my iphone 4s loads inconsistently, and more troubling, much more slowly that with the previous version of the software.
Since I'm not technically, 'mirroring' as you are, on it's face, doesn't seem related. I'm just throwing this out since after looking for comments about radical changes in airplay after this update, I couldn't find much on this.
Did you install this latest Apple TV update? For me it's an obvious difference. Previously I could start the airplay from my phone and not really have delays for loadiing or buffering. I don't have any other 'load' on my wifi or anything new that could be delaying the link from phone to airpay.
Anyone?.....

The video orientation is included with the video's EXIF data and the same for photos. It is that state of the art OS your computer is running that doesn't recognize or completely ignores the EXIF orientation data.
This link applies to photos but whatever Windoze application you are using to view videos should provide the same or similar.

Playing Slowmotion video over airplay does not work with ios update!!!!!

after upgrading last ios , airplay to shoot slowmotion video does not work.
I was expecting it to be fixed with recent update, but still not working!!!
I use it for education at my clinic - which is essential, and how come apple does not fix it at all?
or apple should give downgrade option at least.
FIx it, fix it, fix it!
Main purpose of puchasing ipad air2 was to airplay slowmotion video to big screen and i am quite disappointed with my purchsing ipad air 2.

As the original poster, I too had issues with my iPhone 4 (4.2.1) and Apple TV 2 playing nice. The Airplay icon was visible for music, and worked perfectly. However, when watching a video, purchased through iTunes, only the "audio" option would be selectable for Airplay. After updating the Apple TV software, everything works perfectly well. When watching a video on my iPhone and selecting the Airplay icon, one of the options is to play "video" through the Apple TV, not simply audio.
It would have been nice to know that my Apple TV needed an update when I updated my iPhone 4 to 4.2.1.

Can't get video via Airplay Mirroring from iPad to TV

I am trying to watch NFL Rewind using my iPad2 through Airplay Mirroring to Samsung Smart TV but, I am only getting an audio and not the video.. Can someone PLEASE help me how to get the video?

Make sure the App you are trying to use supports Video mirroring some don't for copyright reasons.
If You can mirror your iPads home screen, then mirroring works and its up to the actual App to allow the mirroring of their Video source.

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

How do you play a rented movie from my iPhone 4S to the TV through airplay and Apple TV?

I attempted to rent a movie on my iPhone 4S and play it through airplay to my Apple TV. I could not at any time view any video from that rental but could here the soundtrack. Is there some setting/adjustment that I failed to complete?

To answer quickly, you cannot move a rented movie from your iPhone to your computer (or anywhere else). You'll have to watch it on the phone.
Regards.

The sound from certain TV shows I bought on my iPad will not play through AirPlay on Apple TV.

I recently bought a couple of tv shows on my ipad. When I play them through airplay on my apple tv, only some play the audio while others do not at all. For example, Downtown Abbey plays perfectly (sound and video) while Homeland does not (only video). I am using an original ipad, and a new apple tv. Any ideas? I updated the software on the appletv and still nothing!

I've been having this problem since the new Apple Tv update. I wish Apple would address the issue but I've found out the new update changed my audio settings within the AppleTV. Go to settings>>Audio & Video>> then scroll down to the Dolby Digital setting and if it says ON (on,Auto,off) then switch it to Auto.. and presto you have audio again.. Found this out myself when I was about to rewatch the League season 1.. For some reason I orginaly had it set to auto but the new update changed it to On. Really getting sick and tired of Apple lately.

AppleTV 3rd - Update 5.2 (6025): No Audio through Airplay

Hi folks,
An acquainted of mine just updated his ATV to 5.2 (6025) and after that, no audio will play through Airplay.
ATV 3rd.
Samsung TV/ Display.
Performed troubleshooting:
1 - Restart/ Restore of ATV Software;
2 - Disabled Dolby Audio from ATV Settings;
3 - Put ATV to sleep, so it would be like a "SMC in a Mac"';
4 - Tried to research for downgrade links, which later on I discarded as a possibility (because I tested on a lab the Airplay with the same software 5.2 (6025) and it worked just fine. The only difference was the Display brand (LG in this case).
5 - At this point, the only thing I can think about is: HDMI is working for video (mirroring works properly with Macbook). I thought the HDMI might not be carrying audio signals.
Any clues or workarounds?
At the meantime I will suggest him a new HDMI cable.
Thanks.

Honestly, this is a WAG but try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
