What im wondering is if there is any way to do the same with the temp files that download from icefilms. So between beamer and airflick you can send most video file types to be played on the tv.
#AIRFLICK APPLE TV 3 MAC#
AirPlay isn’t just for Macs, iOS and Apple TV anymore, and with third-party speakers on the horizon and hacks coming from all over the Internet to extend its functionalities, we’re just waiting for Apple to open up its technology and make it available for more devices and setups. Hey guys, wondering if you could answer a question I had about using the apple tv 3. AirFlick works by transforming your Mac into a web browser, the same way AirPlay works on your iPhone or other iOS device. Several readers pinged Erica to let her know that they’re working on Windows support for this, too.Ĭheck out the videos below. For Mac-based files, AirFlick tells your Apple TV to connect to a local URL and serves the data that the Apple TV plays back. Substitute your own IP address and the actual index m3u8 playlist name.Īnother hack, also posted on TUAW, shows AirPlay running on a XBMC Ubuntu linux installation. That allowed me to pull off the core index file name (in my case, that was index_68c17927-5f43-4176-ba5e-7fc91b48b050.m3u8) and construct a URL to enter into AirFlick, namely MY_LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS:45631/live-playback-2.4.0/ INDEX_FILE.m3u8. Instead of using BC’s method (which appears on the earlier AirFlick post), I grabbed the m3u8 URL by temporarily streaming from Air Video on my Mac to my iPad. Apple TV (3rd generation) - Technical Specifications Size and Weight Height: 0.9 inch (23 mm) Width: 3.9 inches (98 mm) Depth: 3.9 inches (98 mm) Weight: 0. It requires some serious Terminal skills, but it’s possible.Īfter a little experimentation I was live streaming transcoded AVI files from my Mac’s AirVideo Server to Apple TV via AirFlick, as the video here shows. avi files using Air Video Server’s live conversion system, by copying the URL of AVS’ m3u8 playlist and paste it in AirFlick. Second alternative - AirFlick from Erica Sadun - allows you to make your Mac an AirPlay source so you can mirror its display to an AppleTV, just as if it was an iPad. First, TUAW reader BC managed to stream with AirPlay. It turns out, anyway, that AirFlick can do a lot more than “simply” allowing you to send video from OS X to the Apple TV. Together with AirPlayer (which allows you to send videos and photos via AirPlay to a Mac), it’s another great hack from Erica Sadun. It’s a standalone app that can send video files through AirPlay to an Apple TV 2nd gen running on your local network.
Missed Erica Sadun’s latest AirPlay hack yesterday? It’s a new Mac app called AirFlick that allows to send video and URLs (say, from ) from OS X to the Apple TV without needing to load a file from iTunes.
