Airplay with Mountain Lion not working?

I'm pretty sure the seed notes said that AirPlay is not working with current software on apple tv.

Is it too early to see if airplay will beam 5.1 audio over? This would mean no more handbrake!

According to The Verge, it current streams stereo audio over airplay.

Thanks for the tipoff. Shame about that but it's still a great feature!

omg - stereo...

Hopefully they seed a beta update for AppleTV that enables it.

They will more than likely release a 1080p version of apple tv soon which hopefully supports 5.1 or even 7.1 audio as well

For me, the Airplay icon doesn't even exist. I guess this has something to do with my Airport card not working, which is kinda stupid since I'm still connected to the network via ethernet. Any advice how to enable it, even if it doesn't work (yet)?

EDIT: To enable AirDrop on ethernet, you simple type: "defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1" into Terminal. I believe something similar will activate Airplay too. Am I right?

Also, sorry for double post.

Myself and a group of a few other developers have concluded that AirPlay Mirroring doesn't work on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor for the time being.

Tried it with an MacBook Late 2009 (Core 2 Duo) and an 27" iMac with an Core i5, same problem on both of them. So the processor does not seem to be the reason.

I hope someone will find a solution within the next days, Airplay Mirroring would be a nice feature...

Video

Here's a video of it working. You'll need Beta 2 for ATV to get it going, it seems.

Yep, turns out 5.1 beta 2 makes it work. It works really well!

Please help

This is by far the most anticipated feature I was hoping to see, but I can't get it to work. I can't even give me the option to select Airplay. I have 3 Apple TV's running the latest 5.1 Beta 2. They show up in iTunes, but don't on this...What am I doing wrong. Is wireless not supported? Do I have to plug in HDMI? I'm lost and would love some help...please!

I have even tried on my MacBook Air and I get the same dang problem!

I am not getting the icon either. If I force it on in System Preferences -> Displays, I just get the "Open Display Preferences..." option. I just updated my AppleTV to 5.1b2 - at least I think I did - it reports 5.0(4047.1). I am running the ML preview on an 11" Late 2010 MacBook Air, so maybe there's something to the Core 2 Duo theory.

I don't think that's it, here is what I have.

I heard you need the second gen i series processor with the display technology onboard the chip itself to use it. Can someone with a second gen i series processor try it. I have one but don't have ML.

For those that it work with, is it stable or does it get many erros while Airplaying? Am thinking about upgrading to Mountain Lion.

Hey There guys

I'm running Mountain Lion on iMac late 2009(i5 quad core 2,66ghz processor) but i can't see AirPlay Mirroring in the Monitor panel. It was the top model of Late 2009 mine iMac so it should have the right requirements for ML.

I've tried both on Parallels and Fusion, and I get the Same problem.

I also have a mid 2011 MacBook Air 11"(the latest one,with i7 dual core processor, 1,8ghz). I've tried here with parallels and fusion. On parallels I can see airplay mirroring in Monitor preferences. But now i have a problem.


I've installed oon my Apple Tv this software: AppleTV2,1_5.0_9B5127c_Restore.ipsw

When i go in preferences i Get on firmware: 5.0(4032.1)...

I have seen a video on youtube of a guy running airplay mirroring on apple tv but he get 5.0(4047.1),as someone told before. Is my apple tv firmware wrong? If so,where can i find the right one? It should be 5.1b2.

PS: When i start airplay mirroring from macbook air,i have a green screen on my tv. Do you think it could be a problem from Parallels/Fusion or Apple Tv firmware?

Well i installed ML on my iMac mid 2011 earlier today and OS 5.1 beta 2 for AppleTV. AirPlay worked pretty good on my 46" samsung LED tv with almost zero delay! Very nice indeed. Had no errors at all

When i read in apple tv settings i have on firmware 5.0(4032.1).

What about you? How did you install ML? Parallels,fusion,boot camp or other way? =)
