Apple’s brand-new AirPlay video streaming functionality is good… unless you wish to make use of it in the non-Apple app. For whatever reason, Apple is restricting AirPlay video to only the initial party apps right right away, as well as not even all of those (Safari is left out, for instance). Interestingly, Apple actually built a functionality in, it’s just not enabled. Thanks to a little “spelunking” work by TUAW’s Erica Sadun, it was detected which the singular line of formula is all that’s necessary to spread a feature to any app which relies on Apple’s MediaPlayer framework, together with VLC, AirVideo, as well as even Safari. Now Zone-MR has built the penetrate called AirVideoEnabler as well as put it on Cydia, permitting you to bring this functionality to your own jailbroken iPad. For a hack-averse, let’s hope Apple catches up in functionality soon. Check out the video of AirVideoEnabler as well as Erica’s strange hack in action after a break.
