Sorry but unless apple releases itunes for the iphone I don't see this happening, and you will never be able to play unencrypted drm'd videos.

However

Why bother,

Sure itunes is cool but its not the only game in town.

There are serveral alternatives:

Open source daap servers discoveralbe by (dns-sd) aka bonjor and able to stream mp3's from your itunes playlists.

Open source and commerical upnp servers, discoverable via sddpd discovery.

So there are plenty of ways to get the undrm'd content you see on appletv to the iphone, just need someone to right an app.

And like the old att commerical says: YOU WILL -- well in a few weeks anyway , when we release our alpha on sourceforge.

feel free to post this url to other sites, we want exposure, we want developers we want the iphone to be the priemer mobile streaming platfrom.

Somazltan. That's a great idea. I'm currently doing it with a linux server, but it makes a lot of sense for the apple tv to be the server while it sits and idles all day.

Would this work:

1. Somehow get darwin streaming server on the Apple TV
2. Liteweb server or preferred server software on ATV
3. Convert your videos to the right format
4. Make sure its connected to the internet
5. Create a webpage with links to your files
6. Point Iphone to the ip address of you apple tv or webaddress and presto

I'm a newbie so bear with me.

Great Idea!

If I set my iPhone on top of my AppleTV, the AppleTV should be able to display the Movie playing on my iPhone.

From 3.5 inches up to 42" HDTV - automagically!

DO IT!

Easy! get a webserver going for any directory of H.264 videos encoded to the iphone spec (all ipod videos should work). The built in safari will launch quicktime and play it with the ipod video controls. its *slick*

The biggest hurdle to such bidirectional streaming is the fact that iPhone does not have 802.11n wireless, just 802.11g.

I'm much more excited about hacking the services so as to enable SSH, web server, ftp, and file transfers.
