Streaming iTunes Movies thru Airport Express

Hi,
could not find an answer in earlier topics (hope I looked well).
I am wondering: is it possible to stream movies (from my hdd) that are in iTunes via AE to my audio/video receiver? It works okay with music but before buying one, can this also work with movies?

to do that, you need Airfoil.
if you decide to get the app, also see this: _*Preventing audio delays while watching videos with Airfoil*_.

  • Streaming itunes audio via airport express to TV speakers

    Using imac, itunes and airport express.
    I am trying to utilize tv audio component to play music as remote speaker using itunes and airport express.
    With the tv on and approriate component selected - no sound. If I turn off TV and then back on - I get about 3 seconds of music via airport exp connection then silent.
    Any suggestions?

    I have connected airex to a sony mfm-ht205 lcd tv/display. I have used the airex monster cables stereo to dual-rca connectors to connect to tv.
    The tv has 2 video and 1 component set of jacks. Each of these has audio red/white right/left jacks for audio cords (presumably the dual end of monster cable).
    With tv off and airex connected, when I turn tv on I get music from itunes (via airex) on tv speakers for about 3 seconds then nothing.
    Thanks for response.

  • What type of amplifier is best for streaming iTunes wirelessly via Airport Express?

    I have seen systems designed especially for computers, surround sound systems and traditional stereo systems with a receiver or integrated amp. I am just looking for clear, realistic sound reproduction for my 16,000 custom selected iTunes catalogue. My current amp is a five year old top of the line Yamaha receiver that has stereo and surround sound capabilities. I usually just use basic stereo for listening to music. It produces 130 watts per channel, and I only use it in a 12 x 14 office in my home. I'm just wondering if a true stereo amp would produce better sound and if you could really hear the difference. I just want some other opinions on this. I know all things are relative concerning sound issues, but am I just wasting my time trying to get any better sound than I already have?

  • Can i stream safari to my airport express?

    Can I stream safari to my airport express?
    3rd party software like airfoil is a posibility but I think its a bit odd that I, using a mac omputer and a mac airport extreme, need to buy software to connect these two. So is there an other way to fix this?

    Can I stream safari to my airport express?
    I assume that you mean: Can I stream web-based audio files to the AirPort Express Base Station? That is, audio files not originating from iTunes ... correct?
    If so, then (as far as your iMac is concerned) you already answered your own question with Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil. For iOS devices, you can use AirPlay with audio sources other than iTunes.

  • Trouble with iTune and multiple airport express

    Hi,
    I have a wifi network at home, a PC with windows XP and iTunes, and two airport express stations in other rooms.
    I can't figure out why iTunes sometimes sees the "other speakers" (ie airport express stations), sometimes don't, and sometimes sees only one of the two.
    The leds are always green on the remote stations, and they are seen in the airport administrator.
    Closing iTunes and running it again usually helps (but not always)
    Is that something anyone already experienced ?
    Thx for help.
    Nico

    It has been working fine for two days nows, and this morning : no express stations on iTunes...
    And they are neither seen in the Aiport Admin utility .

  • Itunes skips on airport express after upgrade

    I have been using Itunes wirelessly with airport express for years, not a single issue. Then I upgraded to Itunes 9.0.2 and at the same time I installed ther latest security update (I think 2009 006). Both updates were installed simultaneously.
    But from that moment on I lost the ability to use Itunes through Airport Express. It just skips every three or four seconds, stops, restarts, it's like going back to a vynil record with a deep scratch.
    Works fine with internal loudpseakers and with the jack out. It's just airport express wirelessly that doesn't work.
    Airport express firmware is 6.3, It is only connected to my hifi system. That is its only function. It is set as "join an existing network" and the existing network is fine. Airport utility reads it as functioning normally, and the light is green.
    What can the change be? Should I go back to Itunes 9.0.0?
    Thanks for your help
    antonio

    Hi,
    Ive had an Airport Express since i bought my copy of Leopard, it worked brilliantly for ages, but then skipping started. Yes im on the 6.3 firmware and yes im using Snow Leopard with iTunes 9.0.2. But ive been having this problem for ages. Loads of people are recommending getting a copy of AirFoil (which pays for itself to be able to listen to Last.fm) and even turning off IPv6 but now, after a couple of days using it.. back to normal.. skipping every couple of minutes for about 10 seconds..
    I cant help but think that theres a finite life for these AE devices, im sure Apple know about it (ive already put bug reports in via the normal channels) but its quite a bit of £ to spend on another one just to get the same result..
    Its a brillant product, but i think after very sparse use for a couple of years doesnt really mean you need to buy a new one.

  • AppleTV2 can't stream audio to my airport express

    Dear Apple Support,
    I just bought a brand new AppleTV2 (2nd generation) today and wanted to get my Apple setup just perfect - but AppleTV2 second generation dissapointed REALLY! You should definitely stick with AppleTV 1st generation.
    AppleTV2 can't stream audio wirelessly from to for example you hifi-system. This is REALLY a downgrade!
    I really hope that Apple's amazing development team will fix this as soon as possible via a software update.
    The baseline of this comment is:
    AppleTV 1st Generation can stream wireless audio to Airport Express.
    AppleTV 2nd Generation can not stream wireless audio to Airport Express - which is a MAJOR DOWNGRADE!
    Best regards,

  • Airport Extreme 802.11n + iTunes 7.1 +Airport Express = Disaster!

    Airport Extreme has the network with iTunes broadcasting to Airport Express stations round the house and as much internet as I can handle. Then we get the 7.1 iTunes download.
    I can still broadcast the music but the load on the network with 7.1 is crazy... if I try a bit of browsing with Safari I can wait up to a minute for a page refresh. Turn off iTunes and the page refresh reverts to blink and you miss it...
    So I'm now happily in the position where I can't listen to music AND browse the internet... errrm Apple... are you listening???
    I use a MacPro 4gb RAM, with upgraded wireless to 802.11n, to broadcast iTunes. Network was set up on Airport Extreme. Airport Express plugs all clients on the network.
    Airport Extreme / Mac Pro / Airport Express   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    errrm Apple is not here. Other users are though. Are you asking for help? There might be other users here in the user-to-user technical help discussions who can help you with your problem.

  • Cannot Print Wirelessly thru Airport Express

    I've seen this question before w/o an answer. I installed Airport Express, works beautifully and instantly like all Mac stuff. I can print ok from my iMac wirelessly thru Airport Express to an HP Photosmart 8450 connected to the Airport USB port. Then I try to print with my legacy machines (3 IBM Thinkpads w/ Win XP) wirelessly...it just doesn't work. I followed the instructions in the Express manual, created the port connection, etc., nothing. If I connect the USB cable directly to the Thinkpad it prints ok. I checked in the list and the printer is supported.
    I've tried to find an answer for this for days. I know many people go thru the same. Hints? Thanks

    Have you tried installing Bonjour for Windows?

  • Can't connect itunes to my remote speakers thru airport express

    After having updated the latest itunes 7.3 my itunes does not recognize anymore my remote speakers and does not connect to them.
    Have resetted my airport, to no avail. still, itunes does not recognize it.
    please advise what to do as it is very annoying, when you make updates that your old configuration stops working.
    many thanks
    marwan

    I had the same problem. It used to work without any problems but then stopped for no apparent reason. I tried resetting and hard-resetting the Airport Express (AX) many times, but no success. Plus the Airport Utility would never show the Airport Express once I configured it to join the exisiting wireless network (in my case a Airport Extreme).
    Anyway finally this worked for me:
    1) Hard-resetting the AX
    2) Start Airport Utility and find the AX. But instead of going throught the guided steps to set it up, double click on the AX symbol and to set it up manually. Yo will see 5 icons in the meny bar - Airport, Internet, Music, Printers, Advanced.
    - Airport --> Base Station: In give it any name and password.
    - Airport --> Wireless. Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network. Select it below and the appropripate security settings and password.
    - Music --> Enable AirTunes. Leave the rest alone.
    3) Click Update. Close the window and wait until the AX restarted. (solid green light)
    4) Let the AirPort Utility rescan the network.
    5) Restart your wireless base station/router (as I said, in my case Airport Extreme. If you have another base station you may have to do it manually)
    6) Start iTunes and presto you will see the remote speakers
    7) Let AirPort Utility rescan the network. Presto, you see both the AX and the base station.
    My setup: MacBook OS 10.4.10, Airport Extreme and Express, HP with WinXP Pro. Can also stream music form iTunes on the HP.

  • Cannot hear my remote speakers in itunes thru Airport Express?

    Anyone have this problem, I set up my Airport Express last week and everything worked correctly. I was able to set up a network, print and listen to music wirelessly. However, over the weekend since installing itunes 8, my remote speakers wont work with the airport express. i keep getting (unknown error -15000} and my speakers seem to make a crackle. Im still able to get to the web, and print on my AE. Ive checked all the problems, everything is plugged in, i reset up the network, used the airport utility, the AE is still in the same place , it has not been moved. At bottom of itunes, it says it will play music thru AE and not computer. Please help If I cant play my itunes wirelessly, my new macbook is almost useless.

    i'm having the same problem, there used to be an icon in the lower right hand corner to connect to my airport express and it doesn't exist anymore, i tried shutting down, unplugging and plugging the airport express back in, but i still have no option to send music to it. any luck with yours?

  • Stream music/radio via airport express' but not using itunes

    Hi,
    I currently have 2x airport express in different rooms and I stream music etc from my itunes to them (via my airport extreme basestation). Is there any way I can stream net radio or music from other apps to it? E.g. I'd like to listen to the bbc radio player on my stereo, but it is only connected wirelessly to my airport express.
    Being able to do this would make my mac experience near perfect!
    Thanks!

  • Sound of movies purchased in the iTunes store via Airport Express?

    Hi!
    Yet another question: I regularly rent movies at the iTunes store and enjoy viewing. However, some movies, particular those with an emphasis on music, I prefer to get the sound via my stereo equipment which has an Airport Express attached.
    I tried with Airfoil but this was very unsatisfactory since the sound is 1 to 2 seconds delayed from the movie - very annoying. I am almost sure that there is a way to feature the movies' sound from iTunes via the stereo sind this also easily possible with music via iTunes .... Any clues?

    Look in your Airfoil help file to learn how to use the Airfoil Video Player, a free accompaniment built right into Airfoil. It's a simple video player that enables you to play video on your Mac and transmit the audio to remote speakers in sync! Note that because Airfoil Video Player delays video to sync with remote audio playback, it's recommended only for use in conjunction with Airfoil.
    You can find Airfoil Video Player right inside of Airfoil, by selecting it from the Source menu at the bottom of the main window.

  • I'm having trouble with internet radio thru Airport Express with itunes 7.

    The new itunes 7 is working okay for me except for one thing. For some reason I have a buffering problem between my computer and my Airport Express when I feed internet radio to it. Playing it through my computer speakers works just fine. Normal itunes music files seem to be okay either way. This started happening when I installed itunes 7. I have reset the base station and it hasn't improved things. Is it just coincidence? Anyone got any clues?
    Powerbook 15"   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Same problem here. Some streams are playing correctly and others play in a strange manner, like a mix.
    I also got this problem with iTunes 7. I hope that Apple will fix it in a future update so that I can listen to every station over my Airport Express.
