strangely, a reboot fixed it, partially. The icon showed up but I wasn't able to get anything to stream to the tv. Wifi seems really screwy for me..losing connection often. I'll have more time to mess with it after work I guess.
AirPlay is NOT going to work unless the video source is in a streamable, iOS compatible format. Thus, no Flash-based video, no WMV, no Silverlight, etc. which means that a lot of internet-based video is not going to work. In fact, it seems logical that only H.264/HTML5 video will work over the internet. Also, the issue with the iPhone camera video MAY be that the recorded format is not in a stream-compatible format (maybe, don't really know, but that does seem to be a major omission).
Over the last weeks it seems that I've been one of the few voices of reason about AirPlay video compatibility. Many (most?) were proclaiming that it would just work with everything, I said not likely and we'll have to wait and see what does and does not work. I'd be overjoyed if a lot of video sources and apps did work with AirPlay, but I think we need to temper our expectation -- Apple never claimed that it would work with everything.
One of the more interesting class of apps to test will be the video transcoders -- Air Video, StreamToMe, Plex, etc. Has anyone tested one of those?

That's really disappointing and frustrating.
I guess it's time to get that Crystal HD card I bought working with XBMC in my ATV1.
hmmm hopefully this changes, from what I have looked through it doesn't seem like AirPlay requires a specific API, it may just be that an attribute needs to be added or changed in video streams in apps to get it to work. I have a feeling an update will come out soon to make a lot of apps compatible with AirPlay. AirVideo had an update a day or two after VideoOut becamse available for apps.
Yes, if that it true then it really doesn't add much if anything over what you could do with the previous versions of iOS. However, I'd expect that after some of the third-party apps are updated that we might see better compatibility (at least one could hope).
I get it -- sarcasm noted. But actually, I am "right" most of the time.
In any case, the AirPlay situation is still too early to call. I'm just saying that we should be a little reserved in both our expectations and criticism.
Not seeing anything at all. When I go into the different subheadings I see them, just not on the main home screen.

Hehe good man.
Im looking forward to some good third party update over the coming weeks.
At the minute i'm pretty much 'allowed' to stream whatever was in my library, which funnily enough, ATV lets me do anyway.

Not sure about stutter. I'm at the second tv episode from iTunes(HD) and haven't see it yet. Will continue to test. Talked with Apple a few times about it and as of last satursay, they don't seem to be able to replicate that. He wants me to test my atv at the Apple store.

I haven't had a chance to update my ATV2 or even iPhone yet but what iPhone apps are video streaming on the ATV2?
I guess what I'm getting at is that I'm wondering if there is any chance I can stream my iPhone Sunday Ticket app to my ATV2?

Hmm yeah but the issue seems to be that iOS compatible videos which can stream and play on iDevices cannot be played over AirPlay. iPlayer for one example: the videos are in H.264 specifically so that iPhone/iPod/iPad can play them.
You are a legend. Perhaps one day I will be as cool as you

Didn't Steve jobs himself tell us that we would be able to play any video content from our iPad on our atv?
