TorrenTV doesn't work with MacBook Late 2008 via AirParrot

[apostols]

Hi,

I have a Late 2008 MacBook running OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks. I installed TorrenTV 0.9.4 but it doesn't work. Apple only officially supports Airplay in MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer) [0], which is why I used AirParrot, thats works perfectly with my Apple TV 3.

TorrenTV always say "Waiting for AppleTV" but never works.

Could it work with AirParrot?

Thanks you so much!

I dont think this will ever work. TorrenTV uses apple's library to stream media to the Apple TV. If you cannot natively stream media via Airplay to your device it won't work. AirParrot only mirrors your screen or extends the desktop as far as I know. It probably uses custom code, that is the "airplay part" is not the one apple provides but their own reverse enginered airplay library.

Sorry dude, but I think this is not going to happen.

New version 0.9.5 just released, it includes fix to this issue (#20) and also #15, #10 additionally:

• support for device names (thanks to @jamiees2)
• XBMC compatibility

It can be downloaded as usual from http://torrentv.github.io/

@Miladiir TorrenTV doesn't use apple's library to stream media to the AppleTV, it implements the Airplay protocol completely in Javascript and without any dependency with the operative system version or brand. So that it even works in Linux and Windows that doesn't have any relation with Apple's libraries.

With release 0.9.5 it works! Thanks you so much Carlos!
