For a run through of AirFlick's capabilities, check out Sadun's video below. You can instead begin playback of a video from within the AirVideo iphone app, then go to the mac serving up the stream, and type "ps ax | grep ffmpeg", and grab the alphanumeric string following the -conversion-id flag. One extra little note: you don't have to necessarily download the unofficial Mac AirVideo client above. Paste that url into Erica Sadun's Airflick app and boom now your AppleTV can basically play any video you throw at it! Looking forward to someone streamlining the process into a neat little app. Inspect the stream by viewing the Movie Inspector (check the "Window" menu for Quicktime). Start playback of a video using live conversion from within this unofficial client, it should hand off the streaming video to Quicktime X. I'm testing out an mkv file right now, and it works like a charm!ĭownload the unofficial Mac AirVideo client here. Ok, by doing this hack, you can stream ANY video format sitting on your Mac to your AppleTV.

How to Add Live Conversion to Erica Sadun's AirFlick App Additionally, a friendly TUAW reader (called BC) has offered some advice on adding "live conversion" to AirFlick: So, if you own an Apple TV, and a Mac, check out this tool. It's called AirFlick, and it allows users to "stream data outside of iTunes," in any format, from a Mac to an Apple TV (2G) device.Ĭurrently, an alpha version of AirFlick is available to download from Sadun's site. You can find his instructions at the link. After creating AirPlayer, the Mac OS X app that allows users to stream content from an iDevice to a Mac computer, Sadun has developed another tool. Erick van Rijk figured out how to use VLC to transcode a DVD in real time so that Ericas AirFlick application could play it across to an Apple TV. TUAW's Erica Sadun has managed to make another AirPlay hacking advancement.
