Yes, it works with air video. The only thing not working is fast forwarding/reversing...

Does Air Video work with high bitrates and 720p/1080p mkvs? When I tried it didn't work but maybe it will now with updated AirVideoEnabler. I downgraded my ATV to previos version as I need Plex to work either on ATV or via Airplay, hence I cannot test it now.

I haven't tried it with mkv files yet, don't think it recognises them as movie files though, so I'd be surprised if it worked.

Will try tonight when I get home.

Great, thanks mate. I am going away for 2 weeks over Christmas and was just going to take ATV and iPad to stream movies via Air Video app from my home PC and AirPlay them on ATV.

damn... as soon as this happens, I'm jailbreaking... (again). I thought I read somewhere that someone was making an app for it.

Is this on an iphone or an ipad?

With Airvideo app and airvideoenabler tweak, it's working great on iphone (I streamed mkv files 1080p "almost" without probs on my 3GS) but it doesn't work well at all on iPad, which is... Kind of weird actually, isn't it?

I was wondering why I am having problems with the iPad and others reported various apps working... I was happy to jailbreak my iPad as I pretty much never rebooted it in the last 6 months but a bit wary of jailbreaking iPhone as I cannot suddenly find myself somewhere with a phone which won't boot.

There is a custom app somewhere and apparently Cydia app is coming out soon to enable this:

Sometime in the next day the app Air Home Video should be in Cydia. All 4.2.1 can airplay any movie in photo library to the 2nd Apple TV. In the iPad it will show Saved Photos instead of Camera Roll.

Thread is here together with a link to a custom app for Airplaying Camera Roll videos: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1054371/
 
The app to stream videos from camera roll to apple tv via airplay is in fact out now. It is called air home video, and is on thebigboss repo
 
Is this still available?

Can you still get airvideoenabler? I added the repo, Cydia.zone-mr.net and nothing shows up, is there another repo to get it from? Is it not compatible with 4.2.1?

It's showing up for me when I do a search for it in Cydia. However, I haven't downloaded it yet because I wanted to get some more recent feedback about it first. It looks like most of the discussion took place in Nov/Dec when the tweak came out, but I was wondering if work is still being done on it?

With iOS 4.3 coming out soon, which is supposed to have more robust AirPlay support, I'm wondering if it's worth checking this out yet?
