Inside the parrot all i have is high medium and low button and frame rate. My apple TV 3rd gen has not settings for resolution either. My tv is 1080p though, and i have a macbook pro 2009 with air parrot 2.2 or whatever the latest version is. When mirroring, It still lags. I have tried settings that say “low (fast) on parrot, and frame rate 60 and slided it all over the place, nothing is working and whatever video i stream on safari still lags and is delayed 🙁 Please help.

I had a similar situation… and problem!
could find no others to post solutions on blogs etc!
so I thought i thought same situation what my problem was… my firewall and etc.was blocking it! and no search could find it either!

i am using windows 7.

i clicked windows button+e for windows explorer.

i clicked on the top bar where the address thingie is.
(to the right in blank space by my computer or whatever)

paste:

Control PanelAll Control Panel Items

in search, type firewall

click “allow a program through windows firewall”

then change settings.

firewall settings!

(make sure public and private are both checked and allowed, in addition to both checked etc!)

check allow all for airparrot. public and private. just open it when you need it. problem of first part was solved! (minus many hours of sleep lol).

—————

if apple tv won’t show up…
(searching for devices)

in apple tv look up ip address:
(make sure both signed up on same wifi)
settings>general>about
under IP Adress: remember the number.
ie:
###.###.#.###

type that no. into quick code on pc. voila!

connected. if still laggy connection, as i share with many roommates, buy a super router lol. i did:

Asus AC2400 RT-AC87U Dual-band Wireless Gigabit Router. lol. overpowered but incredible and works. but any u router should do.

. then problem solved and works incredible. wish someone else explaned a possible solution, having same problem this is what i did and it worked. wish u the best!

It was simple, elegant, easy to use, and worked beautifully. Now they only offer AirParrot 2, which sucks! It’s bloated, buggy, crashes, and barely ever sees your Apple TV unless you fiddle with it for like 30 minutes. The original product was great, why did they replace it with crapware?

Why would you do that? You can use standard AirPlay for Prime Instant via an iOS device…

Using Air-parrot I can mirror the video but not audio of my Amazon Prime Instant Videos. Airplay streaming works from borrowed IOS devices but they are not mine and cannot afford to purchase just for Airplay. Do you know if Amazon have restricted licences in allowing Airparrot to work? If so, you would expect those legal issues to restrict IOS Airplay but it doesn’t?

you must go to itune and make sure the airplay is check for apple tv for mirroring.

Forcing 720, downscaling my res, move computer closer – none of it works.
Sounds like it is a general apple device prob, more than an airparrot prob.
This is great for dias screening, or other where good fps is not required. Not even sound works smoothly, which I would’ve expected.
