iTunes 10.1 Supports AirPlay (Video), AppleTV Doesn’t
The other day marked an exciting update of finally getting the ability to use apples airplay for video. With the update of itunes to 10.1, the airplay feature now supports the new apple tv for streaming videos. The current issue is that apparently the apple tv does not support this feature. I will have to be unlocked via an update for the atv.
Why iTunes 10.1 was rolled out before the new apple tv update is anybodies guess. It could be due to iTunes 10 breaking compatibility with a lot of third party streaming servers such as freenas, and many others, and the need to get a fix out early for those users. Which as a side note version 10.1 does fix the issue of no longer seeing shared playlists from some third party server software.
Hopefully the apple tv will have an update soon to bring this functionality as well as fix a myriad of other issues that plague the new atv.
