Youtube from my mac to Apple TV

Is there a way to stream youtube videos from my macbook air to my apple TV like I do with my iPhone?
I know there's this new feature on Mountain Lion but my old MacBook Air doesn't support it. I was hoping there was another software that would do this...
I stumbled uppon Air Parrot but it's laggy because it tries to stream the whole screen... I was looking for an approach just like youtube or any video on my iPhone and Apple TV.
I know (but never tried) iTunes has a way to stream to Apple TV but I was looking for a simpler solution: I'm watching a video on youtube and wanted to see it on my apple TV from my old MacBook Air.
Any possible solutions?
Thanks...

The only solution I could find for this was

Has mixed reviews though, make sure to check the requirements as well

  • Can I stream video from my mac to apple tv the same way my ipad or ipod does?

    I just got my AppleTV hoping to stream video to it from my iMac.  I'm seeing this is possible with mirroring, but there was a ton of lag between the computer and tv, and the sound and video would skip horribly.  I plugged the ATV into our ethernet and that has helped tremendously, but there is still some visual lag and skipping going on with the video, noticable enough to drive me crazy when watching something like a movie. 
    However, I noticed that when I stream the same video to ATV with my iPad, it uses a method other than mirroring; the video is greyed out on the iPad with the ATV symbol on it and sends the video to the tv instead, and it plays seamlessly!  I wish I could say this is the solution to my own problem, but most videos I wish to watch are in a flash format, which does not work on iPad and I would therefore need to use my iMac instead.
    So, leading back to the title now, is it possible to stream a video on the iMac without using mirroring, such as how ever it is the iPad and iPod are able to do it?
    My iMac is the newest model currently out I believe.  27", i7 intel processor.  The AppleTV is also the newest generation I believe.  I just got both barely two weeks ago from the store here.
    Any help is appreciated, let me know if you need any more information.
    Thanks!

    I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
    As Keithjammer indicates, the TV2 does not "mirror" your screen as the platform's video interface does. Instead, the TV2 device is a wired/wireless remote multimedia player. As such, it only plays files in a compatible compression format. To do what you want it to do would require your platform to first compress the screen audio/video data to a compatible format and then stream it to the device in real time.
    I've set everything else up but cannot figure out how to display my laptop screen onto my TV.
    Yes, only files can be streamed. You can, of course, capture your screen audio and video data to a compatible file and then stream the file to the TV2 device.
    ...except from both London Drugs (where I purchased it) and Best Buy (where I double checked).

  • How many hard drives can i stream from one mac for apple tv

    Hi a newbie to all this ive got a 500gb external hd and running out of space but am looking to buy a 1tb but i want to set it up as im using both hard drives so i get 1.5tb as this is a cheaper option for me is this possible and how
    many thanks for your time

    You need to turn off the option to copy content to the iTunes folder in iTunes preferences, then when you add new content to iTunes you will need to place the content on one of the HDDs and then drag and drop it onto iTunes from a finder window.
    Or you can alternatively leave the "Copy" option on and simply press the Alt-key when dragging and dropping content to momentarily suspend the "Copy" of the dragged content to the library. (I.e., iTunes will gladly manage both copied and non-copied content as long as you do not move or delete the non-copied files at the Finder level after adding them to the iTunes database.)

  • Streaming video from mac to mac and from mac to Apple tv

    I just purchased a iMac i7 with Snow Leaopard. Until now I were able to stream video from my MAC to Apple TV and to my other MAC wirelessly.
    From my new iMac I cannot stream. Not to Apple TV (via iTunes) or from MAC to MAC.
    A bit annoying when it worked fine before I got new hardware and soft ware.
    Network is through a Timecapsule. I can still stream video (720p) from my Powerbook to my Macbook Pro (Leopard).
    This be a iTunes 9.1 issue also.
    Anyone else had this kind of problems.

    Some people forget that AppleTVs do not appear automatically in new iTunes libraries, especially if they originally configured it once a long time ago for another library.

  • App for streaming from network drive to Apple TV?

    I'm looking for an app that can do several things. There are apps that I've downloaded and paid for >:-( that do one or even tow of these things, but I want to:
    Stream movies (of different file types) from a network drive (WD MyBookLive) to Apple TV, via an iPad.
    There are apps that will stream any filetype from a Mac to apple TV, but they need certain server software running on the Mac, so no good for me with my network drive.
    There are also apps that will play any filetype on an iPad, streamed from a network drive. But these won't stream to Apple TV.
    Is there something that does both, that doesn't require special software on the drive?
    Thanks!

    That's a shame.
    thanks Rudegar

  • How to play youtube from MAC to apple tv

    How do I play youtube from MAC to apple tv?

    In short, you cant. Older macs dont support airplay to apple tv's due to hardware restrictions. To do so you need a mac thats around mid 2011 or newer.
    However goolge Airparrot as there is a $10 app that you can purchase that enables compatabilty with older macs. I have never used it, and there are some performance issues on older machines. It will eat your processor performance and some macs may have choppy video results.
    As a note the reason only newer macs are airplay compatible is because their GPU's have onboard H.264 encoding capabilties that airplay uses, whereas older macs dont so using airparrot relies on the processor to do the encoding.
