Back in the stone age when I used macOS there was an app called Beamer for this [1]. Then it got competition from AirParrot [2].
And now this, apparantly.
Maybe it should be a feature included in macOS itself?

- TheJoeMan 2y agoI wish the feature could be rolled into VLC.
- bdhcuidbebe 2y agoSeems highly out of place to me. In macOS and linux it’s in the a/v stack.
- mft_ 2y agoThere's something similar-ish... if you have an Apple TV and install VLC, there's a feature that allows you to upload whole video files across your local network, and then play them directly from the Apple TV. It's a bit less conveient than Beamer used to be, but still good enough.

- mft_ 2y agoAnother past paying Beamer user here. I used it until it stopped working, didn’t update, then was bought by another company for redevelopment and incorporated into a horrendous subscription scheme, compete with hard sell sales. I’ve used VLC on the AppleTV since then.
