Re: [OS X] AIRPLAY not showing up in Mountain Lion

Only works with Macs 2011 and above

Thanks for the quick reply.

What a rip off. :-( There is no hardware issue/bottle neck preventing it from working just fine.

Yes there is. Your Mac does not have a processor with Intel QuickSync (hardware h264 encoder/decoder). So it would have to use the general CPU to do the compression, which would ruin system performance.

You should still be able to use AirPlay for audio.

I have a 2011 13" MBP, installed mountain lion lastnight from the Appstore, all good. I noticed Airplay icon is only showing up when connected via cabled network connection. When using wireless, no airplay icon.
Dont despair everyone, maybe this is a bug?
