I have documented a few quarky ways to get true airplay from most of my video apps. Anyone have anymore and want to add to this list?
Starz and Encore apps are the most finicky I have noticed, but this method gave me true airplay on both. Here are the steps:
Step 1: Turn off unrestrict premium
Step 2: Login to your Starz/Encore account and press play.
Step 3: While movie is playing, double click home goto settings app and turn Unrestrict back on (buttons on are- mirroring, fake home status, override one) then double click and go back to the app. At this point it should prompt you to login again, so log back into your account.
Step 4: Play the movie and then hit the airplay tab and movie/show will do true airplay. This is the only method I found working.
NBC, WatchABC, AMazon Prime:
Turn on in Unrestrict premium and make sure the only BUTTON on is Override 1.
HBO GO - If you are Jailbroken on apple TV and airplay does not work, this is the method.
Override 1 is only button on, then goto app and start a show and then turn the airplay on, do not have mirror on before hand or it will not work.
Streaming apps that do not require JB I have found:
Hulu Plus, A&E, B10 network, Tosh-O, TNT, TBS, NETFLIX, Vudu website on Ipad.
I can't seem to get Flixster, CBS App, DIRECTV APP, TWC APP to do true airplay. Has anyone got those to work? Mirroring with an Iphone 5 does work pretty well though.
