VEVO for iOS Updated with Full AirPlay Support Amid Rumors of Potential Apple TV App Release

Wait....this is new?

I have been streaming video from iPad to Apple TV with the Vevo app for quite a while. What is new about it now?

I was about to say the same thing. I've been streaming videos from the Vevo iPhone app to my apple TV for months. Not mirroring, but with the dedicated Airplay button in the app...

Huh?

I have been using this app to stream to AppleTV for at least a year. Maybe it is less Buggy Now!

I've been streaming Vevo from my iPhone and iPad to the Apple TV since last year.

Waiting for the aTV app so I can have a real MTV channel.

Meh, all their videos are on YouTube anyways...

You can only airplay the music videos. In order to watch VEVO TV, you had to mirror your iPhone. This update just lets you do it all completely through airplay now.

The Apple TV app is def very close now! Excited!

This is the kind of move Apple needs to be making to get AppleTV closer to a full alternative to traditional TV. It's currently missing "white noise" kind of content. TV is successful because it's a dumb activity. You sit down and don't need to think about what you want to watch.

I cut the cable years ago with the original AppleTV but what happened is that I just have the tv off most of the time now. I don't want to think about what I want to watch sometimes, and I miss that from cable/broadcast tv.

The VEVO app will help but other types of ongoing pre-curated content need to join in. Live sports and news will complete the requirements for a full TV replacement.

Apple is clearly putting effort into expanding the diversity of content and the timing matches up with these content deals and apps getting lined up ahead of an Apple television launch.

57 channels and nothing on

I disagree. If you want white noise, by all means, get a cable subscription. The white noise is exactly what I dislike about cable TV. 57 channels and nothing on but re-runs and endless 'reality tv'. Besides, there's plenty of endless, mindless video on YouTube, that you can still watch via your AppleTV.

Vevo is new to me but I just checked it out.

This is the future of TV where all your favorite channels are apps. Content can be played on any of your devices on demand or -- for the veg-out, serendipity factor that comes with curated content - streamed. I don't always want to trawl through YouTube.

No more subscribing to the gateway mafias of cable or satellite, subsidizing channels and content you aren't interested in.

As for Vevo in particular, Would be nice to see a vaster catalog with all the classic videos from the 80s. Maybe even a nominal fee for ad-free experience.

So now it supports "full AirPlay support" versus just "AirPlay support" that users are reporting already works. Cool...
