Silver Screen For Mac

Being able to watch media content stored on your Mac from your Apple TV will eliminate the time you spend transferring data. This way you can have all your videos available in no time, no matter which device you choose to use.

Silver Screen is a minimalist status bar menu application that takes things a bit further: you will also be able to control the streamed video from any device that comes with a web browser.

Simply install Silver Screen and specify the media directory your would like to use (it must contain the movies you want to stream). You must provide the Apple TV password.

From the Silver Screen status bar menu you can easily open the Media Browser which will be launched in your default web browser. There you can browse all the video content included in the user specified media directory. In the Media Browser Settings panel you can view all the Apple TV devices that are available in your network.

The Media Browser web address can be accessed via the web browser of any device connected to your network and can be used to select the video you want to stream to the Apple TV and control the playback. You may also use the Apple TV remote to play/pause, rewind and fast forward the video.

What’s more, Silver Screen provides support for DTS and Dolby Digital surround sound, can work with subtitles and can handle multiple audio tracks. Additional features include the fact that it can remember where you left off, even if you are using a different Apple TV device.

To sum up, Silver Screen is a simple status bar application that can be used to stream videos from your Mac to your Apple TV and you can control the entire process from a web browser.
