Airplay with AVPlayer?

Question

Is there any way to support AirPlay with AVPlayer? I know it can be done with MPMoviePlayerController, but I see no indication of AVPlayer support in the documentation.

Thanks!

but what about this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6021175/airplay-meta-data-on-apple-tv-from-app-avplayer-mpvolumeview smb did it. — Greg, Aug 31 '11 at 20:05
Did you get this to work? I am trying to use AVPlayer to play using AirPlay (without) mirroring and so far no luck. — Artilheiro, Aug 11 '13 at 20:44

It's not possible in iOS4, but will be in iOS5.

Hi Tom, thanks for the info -- do you have a source for that? – tba Jun 13 '11 at 03:01

Yes, the Apple Developer Documentation on iOS5 shows how to enable Airplay on AVPlayer. – Tom Nys Jun 15 '11 at 14:20

See: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AVFoundation/Reference/AVPlayer_Class/Reference/Reference.html

And specifically, set allowsAirPlayVideo to YES

If someone should stumble across this like I did, note that allowsAirPlayVideo has been deprecated in IOS 6 and replaced with allowsExternalPlayback. – emidander Dec 17 '12 at 17:01

allowsExternalPlayback does not showing AirPlay option. Any suggestion for me ? – Mitul Marsoniya Apr 06 '17 at 09:15
