This video will break down Reflector 2 and review the app's best features. Reflector 2 is a screen mirroring receiver that acts as an Airplay and a Google Cast hotspot. Reflector 2 has the ability to livestream your mirroring session (Mac/Windows versions only) along with voiceovers and a webcam directly to Youtube with the built-in broadcasting option.

Videos and music can be mirrored (or airplayed) to any device running the Reflector 2 app. There are some exceptions to this due to some existing issues which I've gone over in detail below.

►Additional Testing:

iTunes - Windows and Mac:
Airplaying from iTunes (Windows) to Reflector 2 (Mac Mini) worked without an issue. I had the same success Airplaying content from iTunes (Mac Mini) to Reflector 2 (Windows).

Airplaying music or videos from iTunes did not work on a Fire TV stick. All Android devices I tested (Fire TV stick, Kindle Fire: 5th Gen and an Android smartphone) had issues with the Airplay option.

Google Cast:

I used the 'Google Cast' app to screen mirror my Android phone into Reflector 2. All sound from my phone did mirror onto my computer as well. Pretty sweet!

Screen mirroring with AirParrot 2:
While running Reflector 2 on all devices simutaneously (Android smartphone, Fire TV Stick, Kindle Fire), I was able to screen mirror my laptop to ALL THREE DEVICES at the SAME TIME! Even all sound coming from my computer was mirrored to the 3 devices. If I had more HDMI inputs, I could have tested this on 2 more devices at the same time (Apple TV and Chromecast) which I already covered in another video. In other words, I could have possibly mirrored my laptop to all 5 devices at the same time. That is really impressive!!

Chromeplay - Airplay to Fire TV or AppleTV from Chrome (Advanced users):

This is an *experimental* extension available on Github for Google Chrome and may not work as intended! While this extension works on an AppleTV without any major issues, Reflector 2 users should know that you may inevitably run into a problem using this extension. The first few seconds of a video will be airplayed after pressing the Chromeplay button, then the video will suddenly end. I will post a workaround that works only for short videos. Any video beyond the 5 minute mark seems terminate prematurely, so don't expect this to be your favorite Chrome extension just yet. I have contacted the Chromeplay developer to see what can be done about these issues.

Chromeplay workaround:

Once you have Chromeplay installed, go into the options menu and make sure the "AppleTV hostname" is the hostname or IP ADDRESS of your Fire TV or Fire TV Stick!

More information will be added as I continue testing Reflector 2 on different devices and in different ways. If there is ANYTHING else you would like for me to try that wasn't already discussed, please let me know.
