Apple TV2 streams any video format no jailbreak necessary.
Here is how:
1) Get AirVideo Server 2.4.3
Configure folder to share and start server.
2) Get Mac AirVideo Client 3.0(374)
Edit Servers -> name whatever, location IP Address of where AirVideo server is running. Then click save
Select server from main window and click connect.
3) Get AirFlick 0.30
With 0.30 you don't need to do anything as it connects to apple tv 2 automatically
4) With AirVideo Client select folder->file and then with edit servers panel-> Video press AirFlick Live Conver.
5) Usually you will get an Error. Press menu on the apple tv2 remote and press in Air Video Client the AirFlick Live Conver. Button again.
All done.
I just tried 30 files with different formats etc. and the streaming is just perfect!
Did I mention that when you say apple and perfect there's always a catch: The video controls are not really supported, no fast forward etc.
And I would also like to see a program that integrates as if it would be an itunes server and do live conversion in the process. Air Video to the rescue?
Also many people still have some Video_TS Folders that would be nice to play ;).
