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.

  • 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.

  • 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  

  • 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.

    I'm currently testing the free trial.  Works pretty good.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Problems with streaming videos from Apple trailers

    I currently have QT Pro 7.4.5 and whenever I try to look at video trailers on the apple website a blank video feed appears with the grey playback toolbar thingy on the bottom. I can hear the audio but there is no video. In addition when I click on the high def. option the options for the various qualities of HD do not appear to me immediately, it is only after a few refreshes do the icons appear for 720 or 1080. Can you help me out with both or one, thanks.

    There is an app called "stream to me" for the iPad that allows you to stream your movies from your Mac.
    I bought it and ot works well. I don't know if you have a Mac but if so, this could be a pretty good solution for you.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • Streaming video from iPad to Apple TV using Airplay

    Hey there,
    I have the following problem which I havent been able to fix. I have an Apple TV (2010 model) and the latest iPad which I use to stream videos on my TV using Airplay. Everything seems to work fine, I am able to stream and whatch movies on my TV using my wireless network.
    However, as soon as I purchased a movie and trying to stream it to my apple TV, I am only able to stream the audio through my Apple TV while the video is shown on my iPad. Both my devices iPad and Apple TV are updated with the latest software.
    Is there anyone that shares the same problem or have a solution to this? As I said, only when the movie is being downloaded while I want to stream it on my Appe TV, I am only able to hear audio through my Apple TV. As soon as the movie has downloaded, I am able to stream both audio and video to my TV.
    Thank you so much for your input.
    Sebastian

    I have just experienced the same issue with the same setup and its very frustrating.
    Wanted to watch a movie (Airplane 2), but couldnt find it when browsing directly on the Apple Tv, so switched to iTunes on the iPad, found the movie, and purchased it. I was thinking thatnwhen I purchased it, the movie would appear in my library and I'd be able to start playing it as it downloaded. I realised quickly this was not the case, and that it was just downloading on my iPad, so then I thought, well thats okay, I'll just start playing it on my ipad and airplay it to my Apple TV.... Which is where I met the same as yourself. Only the audio plays when trying to airplay a movie thats downloading. If I try to airplay mirror, I get the message ""the connected display is not authorised to play protected movies". Great.
    So I've had to wait for the entire move to download, and now it airplays from ipad to AppleTV. I also then had to do a Transfer Purchases from iTunes, to get the movie into my library. Not very intuitive really and very frustrating when I wanted to watch the movie quickly.
