A new tweak in Cydia for jailbroken iPhones provides a quick and easy way to enable AirPlay video streaming support in third-party apps, a feature that Apple didn’t include when it added support for AirPlay in iOS 4.2.
AirVideoEnabler will enable streaming from Safari, and any third party app. This is a feature that many expect Apple to include in a future update, but is currently restricted to the YouTube.app. A video of the tweak in action is below.
You can download the tweak now via the following repository within Cydia: http://cydia.zone-mr.net
Another tweak called AllPlay with similar functionality will be hitting the Cydia store soon via the BigBoss repo. You can try it out if you have issues using the AirVideoEnabler tweak.
Note: Some users are reporting the tweak doesn’t work particularly smoothly with certain apps such as Hulu.
