How to Get AirPlay on Roku with the Trimeplay Private Roku Channel

TrimePlay lets you watch many Movies and TV Shows from Airplay capable websites.

Roku now has their own version of Airplay for some of it's models, you can read more about this feature... here.

Unfortunately, it requires certain compatible mobile devices and is not always reliable. If you own an older Roku model, you are out of luck unless you try using the Trimeplay channel.

Trimeplay is a private Roku channel that is just what you need to get AirPlay enabled and working on your Roku with iOS devices running 4.2 or newer.

Disclaimer: Trimplay is an experimental and beta Roku channel. So it may not always work perfect. When we tried it with a newer iPhone it actually worked very well. This is not a replacement for true mirroring and will only work on websites that contains videos in an iOS compatible format. These are formats are only supported by iTunes such as mov, mp4, or m4v. It will not support AVI, MKV, WMD, DivX, XviD or Flash files like FLV or SWF.

If you want to play these files you have a couple of options. Use a NAS that is capable of Transcoding and use Plex. Or, convert these files into a compatible format that will play in iTunes.
