VEVO for iOS Updated with Full AirPlay Support Amid Rumors of Potential Apple TV App Release

by

vevoMusic video app VEVO was today updated to version 2.8 adding full AirPlay support, which will allow users to stream both audio and video to the Apple TV.

The addition of complete AirPlay support for the iOS version of VEVO comes just days after news leaked that VEVO would release a 24/7 music video app for the Apple TV.

VEVO's iOS app includes a catalog of 75,000 music videos from 21,000 different artists, plus a VEVO TV channel that plays continuous non-stop content, which is similar to how a potential Apple TV app will work. According to AllThingsD, the VEVO app could be released for the Apple TV as soon as this month. In the meantime, the new AirPlay functionality allows the app's full range of content to be broadcast to the TV.

VEVO is an iPhone-only app that can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link] There's also a free HD version for the iPad. [Direct Link]

57 channels and nothing on

I disagree. If you want white noise, by all means, get a cable subscription. The white noise is exactly what I dislike about cable TV. 57 channels and nothing on but re-runs and endless 'reality tv'. Besides, there's plenty of endless, mindless video on YouTube, that you can still watch via your AppleTV.

:confused: I have been using this app to stream to AppleTV for at least a year. Maybe it is less Buggy Now!
You can only airplay the music videos. In order to watch VEVO TV, you had to mirror your iPhone. This update just lets you do it all completely through airplay now.

The Apple TV app is def very close now! Excited!
