AirPlay will not work with the old version of Apple TV. It requires the new Apple TV or some other equipment that can connects with AirPlay (such as audio equipment) that can play your digital files as AirPlay streams them from your computer.

How could you airplay a video to Apple TV from your PC?

It seems impossible. Actually this question has been solved for a while, I also had some experience of airplaying videos from Windows to Apple TV.Since Apple Airplay is based on a tech. named 'Bonjour agreement' of Apple, Inc. Windows users don't have the priority to use it. Google: bonjour license agreement,cant post link here.After taking a quick view on that, you may feel that there is still nothing for you puzzle. But we can find some information like 'Bonjour for Windows Building Agreement'. They don't offer a software for windows, you need to built one by your own, smart ass! It's just like someone gives you blueprint papers, bricks and all other requisite materials to ask you to build you own a house. That's damn hard. So is a software.It is just relatively hard, for a group of geek, that's is not that tough though. What I am using is a newly developed software - A video player named 5KPlayer. Google: 5KPlayer, cant post link here.''5KPlayer, with built-in AirPlay receiver, can help you free stream media (audios and videos) from iPhone, iPad, iPod and Apple Watch to Mac OS X and Windows PC. It is also an AirPlay sender for free streaming MP4, MOV, M4V, MP3 and AAC from iMac, MacBook and Windows 10/8/7 to Apple TV, AirPlay speakers and so on wirelessly.'' this is the introduction of airplay taken from the home page.Besides, Before airplay videos, you need to know one more thing: airplay has limitations of video formats. Only MP4, M4V, MOV, MP3, M4A and AAC are compatible. As for other formats like MKV, AVI, WMV, FLV, DivX, XviD, MPEG etc which are not supported by iTunes, AirPlay fails to handle either. You may need to do a video conversion before airplay. (Handbrake - A free Video Conversion ) Google: Handbrake, cant post link here.OK, if all things above set, now you can start to airplay, there is a tutorial about how to airplay videos from Mac to Apple TV. But it is also a good reference for windows users.Copy � 5kplayer.com/airplay/5kplayer-stream-film-video-from-mac-to-appletv.htm


How do you put skype on the Apple TV from iPad 3?

The current Apple TV is a closed system and cannot add apps, other than those provided by Apple. You can use Airplay mirroring to push the video and audio of the chat session on to the Apple TV. Both devices must be on the same wireless network. Click on the box with the upturned arrow and select your Apple TV.
