Play video behind apps with AirPlay to AppleTV

When Yosemite was first spoken about by Apple, one of the stated "features" that excited me was that you would be able to stream video from your Mac in the background to AppleTV while still working on your normal apps in the foreground.
You could watch a movie using AirPlay while working on your Mac at the same time.
Any mention of that feature seems to have since disappeared now that Yosemite has been realised and I cannot find anything about it anywhere.
Is anyone able to advise if this feature is in the final release product and how you get it to work?
Thanks kindly
MacBook Pro OSX10.10

What are the other apps? Have you tried rebooting?

I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

I cant play videos on Facebook with Firefox but I can with IE. I am using Firefox 4.0.1

Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

You Tube not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update

You Tube and other sites are not playing video on Firefox with Adobe Flash after latest update for both. Adobe Flash is working on other sites but not You tube and those sites that may have embedded You Tube videos, I'm not sure.
Adobe Flash does not crash and no error message is showing. All that shows is a dark screen for the Flash video. Right clicking the screen shows only a non-clickable 'Movie not loaded' and the clickable link to the Adobe home page.
I have spent an hour trying things as suggested for past problems similar to this but none have helped.
I have sent sad face letting you know what I think of the latest update because of this which says pretty much the same thing as I have said here.
I have no further info but if I had some input and queries form you I might be able to provide more.

I'm not sure how to remove the 12.xxx version,. I don't understand why it is there, usually updates over wirte the old one as far as I know. I don't know where to find it.
pref .js deleted.
I could not find a user.js
I disabled hardware acceleration on one of them, not sure which and I don't remember how I did it but think it must have been on the flash.
No idea what protected mode is
no new profile, I've never done this.
Ok, did what you have said as much as I could. I have been fidgeting with things now for a couple hours. After doing a CCleaner and Registry cleanse, turning off and restarting the computer, the videos are now p-laying.
I would still like to know how to find and get rid of the duplicate Flash plug in though if you would't mind.
Thanks for the help.

I have no sound when playing video in apps like ESPN on my iPad 4

After backing up my iPad to my computer I have no sound when playing videos within apps like ESPN, etc. never had this happen before. I have the most recent version, iOS 7.1.1. Can anyone help me fix this problem?

In the Control Center I discovered the Mute button was on. I didn't even realize there was a mute button there! So I turned it off and now I have sound. Tah dah!

Is it possible to play videos or clips with the appletv from an Time Capsule direct without other hardware?

I want to play videos, movies and music-clips (either mp4, other formats or out of an itunes-db) on my appletv without using other hardware than the apple tv an the Time Capsule (except the tv ;-) ). Is it possible to stream direct from the Time Capsule? With other and even cheaper NAS-Storages is it possible, eg. with the ps3 ...Thanks for help.

The TC from the day it was introduced until today.. has got a bigger hard disk and gained dual band wireless.. but nothing substantial.. it is not a NAS and has never been more than a target for TM mostly laptops as any desktop Mac can have an external drive for backups cheaper and faster than TC.
Many people were disappointed that Gen4 was a nothing upgrade. it is just a Gen3 with a different wireless card. Don't know if there will even be a Gen5 as Apple seems to see Cloud as the answer for remote storage. I would not be surprised if it was dropped completely. But who knows.. Apple sure don't let any secrets out of the bag.
And for the AppleTV 3 there is no JB or other things possible at this moment?
Not yet.. we are awaiting as some major effort is being expended. There is a hack just recently for the ATVv2 with v5 of iOS.. so the v3 may not be far behind.. v2 are commanding high prices at the moment on ebay though.. near to double purchase price when they sold out before v3 arrived.. as people discover their TV watching plans are now in tatters. Or their library of movies is no longer accessible.

Is there a fix yet for Firefox so it can play videos on websites with "Hotlink Protection"? It's been 9 years now and still no fix.

How come Firefox still hasn't come up with a fix for it to be able to play videos from websites that have "Hotlink Protection"? The error "Video not found" always comes up. This has been like this for almost 8 or 9 years now. (I'm probaby off by a year or two). Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari, etc... all have no problem whatsoever and can play the videos easily.

Applecare on the phone is torturous, I spent an hour getting redirected back and forth between 3 different departments each saying "This isn't my area, you need to talk X department" or "why did they send you back to me?" Then you get disconnected.
The nearest apple store is about 2 hours away. If I'm near it again, I'll stop by. I was just hoping either the problem was patched or someone online knew how to fix this infamous problem yet.

Playing video in labview with some basic information output for my program.

I'm trying to program something similar to NI's product DIAdem CLIP in LabVIEW. A program that synchronizes test data with video. I'm trying to find a decent video component that gives me basic information about what is being played.
My first thought is to use Windows Media Player 10 w/ LabVIEW ActiveX container. I'm a little confussed as to what I'm doing with it, however. I can't find any information about Windows Media Player 10 in the Class Browser.
All I really need is:
Input:
1. The file for the embedded media player to play.
Output:
1. The framerate of the file being played.
2. The current frame.
I think with that I should be able to put a marker in my data graphs that indicates where that data correlates with the playing video.
Thank you for your input!
-Nic

Your best source of information regarding the Windows Media Player object model is MSDN. I've only done a little bit of playing with Windows Media embedded in LabVIEW, but enough to know it was a pain and not worth the effort. NI has a KnowledgeBase article that indicates you will probably need LV8. In terms of your specific query regarding position, you should take a look at the "Controls" object in the object model, as that has properties I think you're going to need.

How to play video repeatedly and with no audio

Hello all,
I use the following code to play video in Flex:
public function startPlayback(event:CairngormEvent) : void
     if (model.nsDemoRemotePlay != null )
                               * Stop and close previous NetStream.
                              var demoStopStreamEvent :VCDemoStopStreamEvent = new VCDemoStopStreamEvent();
                              CairngormEventDispatcher.getInstance().dispatchEvent(demoStopStreamEvent);
                    nc.connect(null);
                     * Setup NetStream for playback.
                    model.nsDemoRemotePlay = new NetStream(nc);
                    model. nsDemoRemotePlay.receiveAudio( false );
                    model.nsDemoRemotePlay.client = this._responder;
                         model.videoRemote = new Video(model.videoRemoteWidth, model.videoRemoteHeight);
                         model.videoRemote.attachNetStream( model.nsDemoRemotePlay );
     model.nsDemoRemotePlay.play("assets/videos/Demo.flv");
I have two questions:Could anybody please help me in answering these.
1. Is it possible to play a video without audio? I used receiveAudio( false ) with NetStream object. But audio is still there.
2. How can I play a video play repeatedly? I want to play video repeatedly and stop it only when a Stop event is fired.
Thanks.
roshni.

NSObj.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
public function netStatusHandler(event:NetStatusEvent):void
     switch(event.info.code)
          case "NetStream.Play.Start" :// your code
                                                     break;
          case "NetStream.Play.Stop" :// your code

HT204291 Cannot get audio on hbogo app with airplay

Unlike most users of hbogo with airplay I get video but no audio when streaming to my 3d generation apple tv. I have tried every speaking setting I could find on the
TV but to no avail. I am trying to use the TV speakers because there are no external speakers attache.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    5.    Restart your router.
    6.    Restart your mobile device.

Need video recording app with control over microphone sensitivity

Everybody is talking about sharing video's but it looks like nobody is making those video's while I hear nobody talking about Recording video's.
I record now and then at concerts. I have the problem that while I record an video the incomming sound is to loud. When you replay the recorded movie the sound is sounding like the distorition effects of an gitar, to loud.
Does anybody know an video recording app for the iPhone 3GS where I can adjust the strongness of the incomming sound?
Regards,
Ton van Leeuwen

The audio was likely distorted bacause the phone is designed for recording local voice sounds, not loud constant concert sounds, I'd guess that any audio compressor or automatic gain control present in the phone simply gets overwhelmed by the lack of normal speech patters present in a loud concert. I dont think a third party microphone would help.
The video orientationis set when you press record, so if you hold the phone in portrait when you start recording and then turn it to landscape and make the video, when you play this back on a computer, the video will be on it's side. The phone does not autoswitch while recording. The difference between the two modes is pretty obvious but if you are striggling to work it out, shoot a couple of brief tests in each mode and watch them on your computer, not on the iphone.

How to play videos in JSP with the helping of StoreProcedure?

and more,how to converse the avi,dat,mpg,mov,wmv format into rm format??

Under "General" in iTunes Preferences, does "Play
Videos in.." allow you to set the playback of videos
as you desire?
kind of. It does spawn a new window, which is great (thanks!). But it seems to be at a lower resolution - does iTunes compress further or display at lower res? What is the function that people are supposed to be able to use to use iTunes as a media center to watch movies?

Unabled to stream video from iPad with AirPlay

I'm having some difficulties getting video to stream from an iPad to my 2nd generation AppleTV over AirPlay. The iPad is able to stream audio just fine, but does not stream video through the built-in Video app.
When selecting to play the video to the Apple TV, the iPad screen stops playing the video and changes to the Gray screen that says the video is playing to the AppleTV, however it is not playing to the TV.
Both devices are running the most up-to-date software revisions. I have tried plugging the AppleTV into the router via ethernet cable to ensure that it's not a wireless problem, but this does not change anything. The only possible reason I am able to think of is that the wireless network these devices are using are not connected to the Internet.
If anyone else has suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks

I'm running iTunes on my iMac, using an Airport Extreme, and two Airport Express's..one configured as a repeater, and the other as a remote speaker. I'm using an ATV1 running 24/7 as an audio server, broadcasting music to the Airport Express. I have an ATV2 in my bedroom connected to the big screen there. That's the one that does not forward video from my iPhone 3GS to the ATV2, ONLY audio? Is it possible, that the system can't support the ATV1 running AirTunes w/remote speakers, AND AirPlay on an ATV2 simultaneously??
BTW, I found that the song title that popped up in the title box happened to be the tune that my iTunes on the iMac happened to be sitting on (wasn't playing though). It put that in the same box on the screen as the Movie title I was playing from the iPhone 3GS over AirPlay? Sure that's not a bug?

TNT app with airplay?

I have the TNT app on iPad 3, it will stream for a bit on Apple TV but then I get the loading error, however, I'm able to finish watching on my iPad. I only seem to have this issue with this app and not with Amazon or Netflix. Any suggestions?

This is the only way I've found that it works. This order:
1.) Turn Apple TV on using ipad or iPhone's control center AppleTV selection (without mirroring)
2.) Open TNT App and select live feed or show it begin playing.
3.) Once show begins to play, open up Control Center again and select mirroring option.
This should do it. I've consisting gotten it to work. The only problem is that all my notifications show while I'm watching and if the app should crash or if I stop the app for any reason, I have to turn off the Apple TV and start over again. Not very user-friendly. Also, I found that ipad mirroring from that app doesn't go full screen with it, but iphone mirroring does.
I'm running IPad mini and iPhone 5s.
Hope that helps.

Issue playing videos in iTunes with Windows 7 x64

Hi, hoping someone can help.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and have installed the latest version of iTunes. I have around 150 HD movies stored on my PC, which were previously from an iMac I owned. Whenever I play one of these, the video keeps stuttering and dropping frames then freezing etc. Now, the issue is not with the files, as they play in WMP and VLC perfectly fine. It happens in exactly the same spot in the videos everytime they are played. My CPU reaches 100% then drops to 0% as the freezing is happening. It appears as though my CPU cannot handle the files, yet they play fine in another player.
I was wandering if anyone else is having this problem, it's incredibly frustrating because I love iTunes as a media manager.
Thanks.

Try reset winsock and see it will fix the issue.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:
