Streaming video from PS4/XBox1/Bluray player to iPad

I was trying to figure out a way how to watch a video that's currently playing on a console or a bluray player and have the video also show up on my ipad.  Is this even possible without an AppleTV?

I have an original iPad and Apple TV 2G. I would like to play movies from my iPad, via Apple TV, on my TV. When I start a movie on the iPad, and select Apple TV from the drop-down on the iPad, I get audio from my TV but no video. What is the correct setting on Apple TV to get video?
What app are you using and what AirPlay icon is available? Basically, it is the app and how it is programmed that determines whether or not you can AirPlay both audio and video or just audio to your TV2 device. For instance, the Videos app with let you AirPlay both audio and video content but Netflix, Air Video, and HBO GO apps will only let you AirPlay the audio portion of your content. This also holds true for web site multimedia content. Depending on how the site is programmed, a few will allow the AirPlay of both audio and video while most currently only all audio. If only a "speaker" icon is available, only audio can be AirPlayed. If a TV icon is available, then both audio and video can be AirPlayed.

    can i stream video from an hd camera to an ipad?

    It would depend on the camera, and the software, there are items like airparrot, drone camera, or video surveilance cameras that have ipad apps for viewing. A great deal more research is in store I'm afraid.
    Google the following for an example
    can you connect a go pro to an ipad and capture the video

  • Is there a way to stream video from an external camera to the iPad? Ultimately, I would like to have an app to annotate content and save video and stills. Thanks

    Hi - I am completely new to the iPad apps world (other than as a consumer). My current laboratory workflow takes live analog video from a high quality camera mounted on a microscope, passes the composite signal through a digitizer and displays the digitized stream via USB with a program on my computer. I can watch, resize, and capture stills or video segments from the live video feed. I have good solultions to accomplish this for both Mac and the PC.
    What I would really like is to get that live video on an iPad in the context of an application where users can capture still pictures and short video segments of the streamed content, annotate them with descriptive observations, and search in a  database for comparable images. Is there an existing technology that would allow me to handle at least the video display and capture aspect around which a specific app could be built? I am new to iPad so I have no idea how to do this. Everything I've seen is about watching pre-stored video programs that are already  on the Mac. Thanks so much.

  • Why can't I stream videos from my iTunes to my appletv/ipad anymore?

    I have updated all the software to the latest versions on all the devices, but recently I am unable to stream any of my videos from my iTunes library under the "computers" app.  I have a MacBook Pro, appletv hd, and ipad 3, and I could only play videos on iTunes on my MacBook.  Songs are also unable to play, it will play a snippet, stop then play another tiny bit, sort of like its streaming extremely slow.  It won't stream hd or sd videos.  I've tried resetting the modem/router, restoring the appletv, and nothing seems to work.  Also, the weird thing is that i am able to stream to my xbox videos and music without any trouble, i only get the problem trying to stream to other apple products.   Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Dont know if i made it clear in the previous post, but it used to work with no problem, it's just recently that this has begun to be a problem.  could it be the latest updates that are causing the problem?  the only thing ive been doing differently is i've begun transfering my dvd collection to digital copies to stream through itunes.  the digital files are ones that itunes recognizes and worked before.  is it possible to have a library that is too large and slows down the streaming?  i tried using airplay last night, with the same results, the loading wheel just spins forever.  the AppleTV can find the itunes library, and all the files on it, but they just dont play. 

  • IPad Air and streaming video from local network

    Hello everyone! I'm a new member and a new Apple device user.
    I come from Android and honestly my experience wasn't negative or bad, but I was kind of sick of the look and feel of Android. I decided therefore to try something new, fresh and so well spoken of: the iPad Air (16 GB WiFi only model).
    However this is not a review or anything so let me skip directly to the issue: streaming video on a local network.
    In Android this is a basic thing, you can do it in several ways with several app over different networks (SMB, FTP, SFTP, DLNA (UPNP), etc.). The first thing I did is to try the FTP streaming with VLC: suffice to say that after a second it closes itself (the video, not the app), and this happens with all the videos. I've been searching for a working alternative but so far I found only paid apps. I cannot pay for something I'm not completely sure it is going to work. Free alternatives of paid apps are extremely limited (i.e: no audio or even no network streaming).
    What I need to know is this: is it possible on the iPad Air to stream video from a local network (preferably SMB and FTP) without any sort of conversion or transcoding? What I would like to stream are video in 720p or 1080p, sometimes even 15 Gb Blurays. Files are either in mkv or mp4 format. I also always use subtitles.
    Please let me know if this is possible.

    you need to get apps from app store which does upnp and the likes there are plenty
    you can do anything the app support but you can't use the normal build in movie player to play from smb or ftp
    but search app store there are likely support for at least smb not sure about ftp it's a pretty old std which would result in transferring the whole file rather then streaming
    start by looking for vlc in app store and then go on to upnp and smb use search

  • Can't view photos or stream videos from websites on iPad 3

    When I go to a website with safari, I can't stream video or view photo galleries.  It tells me that I need adobo flash player.  That is not supported for this device.  How do I see photoographs or stream video from websites??

    Jenpre.... keep your head down in that hurricane, and good luck. I hope it moves away soon for you all.
    When I say "more modern", from what I've read many sites recognise that Flash can be a problem on mobile devices (phones and tablets) because it's very power hungry. So, if I understand things correctly, many sites are putting up html5 versions, which is supposed to be much easier on computers / devices. Quite oftne when I go to a site on my iPad it auto-diverts to the "mobile" version of the site, and I haven't found a single case where I can't see a video. To be truthful, even if not directed to a mobile version, I don't have much trouble with any of the sites I visit..... I can see most videos and pretty much all graphics, the same as I can on my Mac, which does run Flash.
    Still, I'm sure a computing expert will know much more.
    Good luck in that hurricane....
    PS... there are quite a few good hurricane tracking Apps you know....

  • Streaming video from phone

    I want to stream video from phone's cam to a server.
    I found MMAPI, with RecordControl I can:
    try
    Player player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video ?encoding=gray8");
    player.realize();
    RecordControl rc = (RecordControl)player.getControl("RecordControl");
    ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    rc.setRecordStream(output);
    rc.startRecord();
    p.start();
    //Thread.currentThread().sleep(5000);
    rc.commit();
    p.close();
    catch (Exception e)
    this way the video is in "output" only after "commit()", then I could send it. Is there any way to have real streaming??

    What do you understand with "real streaming"? Do you refer to frequency of transmission? The real time streaming is "not so real". If you put a small sleep time you will get a higher frequency and it will simulate a "real-time" streaming. To speed up your transmission, use UDP protocol instead of TCP, because media streaming in all techs is on top of UDP.

  • When ever i try to view a streaming video from a website I now get two of the same stacked on each other in same panel where one video should be view, what is wrong?

    When ever I am trying to view streaming video from websites, such as CNN or ESPN or You Tube, I now see the same video stacked twice in the panel where it used to only show by itself. I think it happened after the last updates to Firefox and Flash Player, but not sure what was changed to create that effect?
    == URL of affected sites ==
    http://

    First of all, Firefox support SUCKS! I am looking onto Opera or Chrome.
    Here is my solution. I have WinXP 64 bit with a Nvidia card. I had the same issue and all I had to do is update the video drivers and it fixed the problem. Try this out.

  • Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps Internet

    Hello. I've Apple TV 3rd gen and MacBook Pro 2013 all with latest updates. AirPlay works fine till I don't start streaming videos from YouTube. After that AirPlay icon from MacBook menu bar simply disappears. Could some help. I'm using 2 Mbps internet connection.

    Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
    I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
    Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers  like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
    Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
    It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
    Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

  • 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)

  • Is there a way I can stream video from my 2012 AirMac to the Apple TV using airplay and at the same time stream the audio to an air speaker?

    Is there a way stream video from a 2012 MacBook Air to a TV using Apple TV and at the same time steam the audio to an air speaker. Also the same question but using an ipad

    You can try one thing. Follow these steps:
    1. On your Mac, turn on AirPlay Mirroring and connect it to the Apple TV, so audio and video will stream from the Apple TV.
    2. Turn off the sound of the TV where you have connected the Apple TV.
    3. Then, make sure that you have turned on the AirPlay speakers. Then, open System Preferences > Sound > Output, and choose the external speakers, so sound will stream from these external speakers.
    This should work correctly

  • Streaming video from macbook pro to apple tv

    Hello, I understand that you can use airdisplay to stream the whole desktop view to the apple tv. However, I've found that its extremely laggy when I play videos that way. When I do, the video and sound is always off by a second. When I stream using my ipad or iphone to play videos that never happens and runs perfectly. Is there a way to just stream videos from sites like youtube for the mac like the iphone and ipad?

    Yes, forget streaming that way, .....the ANSWER youre looking for is the APP BEAMER

  • Streaming video from Macbook Pro to 46 inch LCD

    I am trying to stream video from my 13 inch Macbook Pro to my 46 inch Samsung LCD TV. I am using a HDMI cable to a DVI cable to attach the computer. When I play videos from iTunes, the picture looks great, however when I am streaming video from an internet site such as Netflix, the picture is not great (it almost looks pixilated). I am wondering, is this an issue with my computer (video card, etc) or does it have to do with my internet connection (I currently have the lower DSL connection)? Is there any other way to make the picture look better? Thanks for your help.
