We all know the AirPlay feature that came with iOS 4.2, this wonderful service that broadcasts what you watch on your device (movies. YouTube clips or photos…) on your TV screen, which means more space to see what you want directly from your iPhone, iPod or iPad. This service has saved us a lot, especially in terms of buying another connection to be added to your device so that you can connect it to your screen .. We do not want to talk about the connections and cables and their problems, and it is enough that the transmission of these media is via the wireless network and without any connections! Well ... the service is really great, but what do we need to do .. You need an Apple TV .. Yes, you need an Apple TV! You place it on top of the TV to receive video files and pictures from your device without wires.
Don't worry, we won't make you buy the Apple TV now, thanks Apostolos Georgiadis and his team Activating AirPlay service on a computer using Windows is now also available :) and even without a jailbreak..!
Then all you have to do is download some programs and files, and to start it:
First The computer (compressor) must have the iTunes and Quicktime program from Apple. You can download it from here ITunes And from here QuickTime
Second We must have Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and it can be downloaded from Here
Third Bonjour Print Services For Windows should be downloaded from the Apple website, and you can download it from Here
Fourthly Download a program AirMediaPlayer It is the most important program to download from Here
After downloading all the previous programs, we run the AirMediaPlayer file after removing it from the ZIP
And now we open any video from the iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, and we notice the appearance of a small figure next to the video control tools, and we click on it and choose the name of our device (your computer)
like this picture
And there is another video that shows you the whole process
Notes :
- In order for this service to work, your devices must be connected in one network .. I mean that your connection in the network that connects the computer and iPhone with each other in one network is important (connection to the Internet does not work in this case and is not needed)
- This method is suitable for Windows XP, 7, Vista and even bAnother program for Mac
- This method is very easy, as I relied on the Bonjour Print Services For Windows tool that secures a connection point between the computer and the iPhone in one network (and this tool is used for the printing process only!) And then came the role of AirMediaPlayer, which used a software code that was able to illuminate the iPhone or iPod Touch or The iPad is connected to the Apple TV, but it is in fact connected to Bonjour Print Services For Windows, as we said before.
- This method does not require a jailbreak or even download any application on your phone
