VERY useful, thanks. Will be using it next conference. FYI, it also allows playing vudu.com videos on the appletv. You have to start the video on the ipad, hit the bookmarklet, and then start the movie again.

It’s awefully slow. Otherwise awesom device. Would pay to make it faster.

Hey Jason,

Worked perfect for me, thank you for posting this!

I also tried it on the iPad2 but to no avail. The iPhone worked perfect but once someone calls you it closes it out (obviously). It would be sweet to somehow get it working on the iPad that way it isn’t interrupted by calls.

Thanks again!!

I have updated the bookmark code and I think I have it working so that no editing is necessary. Thanks for everyone who helped to point this out.

You were right with that, I had not noticed it. I have updated the code so that it should now let you copy and paste directly into the bookmark. Let me know if you have any other problems.

Amber, Benjamin was right… I have updated the code, although it looks the same, try to re-copy and paste the code into the bookmark and see if that works for you.

I had the same problem as Amber above and noticed (even after trying the paste-in-notepad trick you suggested) that looking closely at the URL of the bookmarklet, the apostrophes had been replaced with three ‘%XX’ codes. I followed this process to fix the problem:

- Open your bookmarks
- Tap ‘Edit’
- Select the bookmark you created
- Tap the URL field (the one that starts with “javascript:”)
- Scroll in the field, if necessary, to the command “createElement”. It *should* read “createElement(‘script’);”, but in my case the single apostrophes were replaced by three sets of “%XX” codes. Remove those codes and replace them with single apostrophes.
- Scroll to the right and find the “e.src=’http://bendodson.com/bookmarklets/ios-airplay.js?’ ” section, replacing the codes in this segment with single apostrophes.
- Tap “Done” to save your bookmarks.

At this point, I returned to the Conference video page (I closed the page and reloaded it to refresh it) and followed the instructions in the post; this time, when I selected the bookmarklet, the video area *did* visibly refresh, and sure enough, moments later I was greeted with MoTab singing on my 43″ TV.

It’s worth mentioning that I have an iPhone 3GS and this trick works just fine. Thank you SO MUCH! Music and the Spoken Word is on now, and it looks and sounds great. I’m hoping the bandwidth doesn’t choke up at the top of the hour when the rest of the world logs on.

The problem Amber is probably having is this page is rendering the single-quote marks as special characters. When they are copied from here and pasted into the bookmark editor, they are esacped to be safe for URLs, which breaks the bookmarklet code. You can fix this by pasting the bookmarklet into notepad, changing the special quotes into normal single-quote marks, then copying and pasting that into the bookmark editor.

Alternatively, Jason, you might want to put the bookmarklet code in your blog post in a code or pre block, which would avoid the problem with special quotes getting copied.
