airplaydvdquicktimevlc
Hi have a Bowers & Wilkins Z2 which supports AirPlay.
When I see DVDs on my MacBook Pro I would like to stream the audio to the speaker.
Is there a way for doing it?
While iTunes provides an icon for AirPlay, the same is not true for QuickTime.
VLC 2.1.0 has a command in the Audio menu (Audio->Audio Device->Airplay) however it doesn't work for me.
This has been a common issue with the Zeppelin Air and upgrading your firmware should resolve the issue.
How to Upgrade the Zeppelin Air Firmware
You should check the firmware installed on your Zepplin Air. You can view the current firmware version on the screen of an attached iPhone and most iPods. Generally it can be found in the "About" section in the "Settings" in the iPod menu.
The latest firmware for your Zeppelin Air is available in the support section on the B&W website. Download the installer from their site and then follow the instructions found in the manual to upgrade the software via a USB 'B' cable.
Didn't help?
If this does not help can you please provide the following additional pieces of information: the firmware version of the software installed on your Zeppelin Air, the version of Mac OS running on your machine(s), the version of iTunes you are currently using.
The developers of those apps have blocked AirPlay video. Though the default is to allow video streaming, individual developers can make that call for their app. Older apps (before iOS 5) will all do it, as well many released after iOS 5 came out.
See the developer documentation, specifically "allowsAirPlayVideo" here.
Best Answer
Go to System Preferences → Sound → Output and choose your speakers. Lagging will probably make it unbearable, but maybe you can adjust video/audio sync in VLC.
