[iMore Question]

I have the airplay sign on itunes and can stream from there but dont have it in the task bar to enable mirroring . (I want to stream from FilmOn TV on Imac to my TV in the living room)
Can anyone help please?

If the film is in your iTunes library, there's no need to AirPlay as the AppleTV can play anything in your iTunes library directly if you've set it up properly.

I don't think streaming from a third party app to the AppleTV is possible except through screen mirroring? I know I only got the ATV2 as it could be hacked to run ATVFlash Black, which installs Infuse, and lets me stream media stored on a hard drive and not in iTunes.

But streaming from inside an app to an ATV, I think that's going to have to be mirroring.

I reckon that will need to be done my mirroring your iMac's display. Don't think you can stream from a third party mac app to an ATV any other way?
