Why hasn't Apple introduced Airplay, not just Airplay mirroring?

Your youtube example is what I want. I'd like my Apple TV to be able access the original video stream.
I'd like to be able to beam the video stream, that I've come across on the internet (via Safari or Chrome) directly to my Apple TV. This can be down on the iPhone, so I don't know why this would be a problem for a full-sized Mac.

The reason why I want this is, that I often watch sports on my Mac, and when I airplay mirror my screen, panning shots and fast motion become almost unwatchable, even if I'm connected to the Apple TV via Ethernet. If I just watch the action on my mac screen, it looks perfect. Not jerkiness whatsoever.

Thanks.

Since there is a Utube app on the Apple TV why do you even want to airplay from the Mac. Just select the utube app on the ATV and go to the site you want.

Only the most recent Mac Mini has an HDMI port and other workarounds are kludgy and don''t work well.

How do you describe "Most Recent" my 2010 mac mini has an HDMI port.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.
Does this only work on Youtube? Is there any way to get it to work on streams from other websites?

Works with YouTube, Vimeo, TheOnion and some other HTML5-based players. You can also try enabling it in Incognito mode, if you get my drift 😉

The YouTube app on the ATV is garbage. The best way to watch YouTube and navigate it is with a Chromecast.

I get what you mean ;-)
Actually, I want to use it to watch StarSports.com, an Indian website (legally) streaming sports from around the world. I use it to watch English Football. I don't like watching games on my mac, and connecting it to HDMI is a bit of a pain in the butt some times, so a simple airplay toggle would be great 🙂

Thanks.
