FlickVimeo

Description

Ever wanted a simple way to send Vimeo links to your Apple TV? This is a simple command line tool that leverages AirFlick to send the URL of an Apple TV compatable (h.264 encoded) video in the highest resolution available to the currently-selected Apple TV in AirFlick.

Installation

The best way to install FlickVimeo is with RubyGems:

$ [sudo] gem install flickvimeo

Usage

Run flickvimeo on the command line and pass it a Vimeo URL or ID:

$ flickvimeo <vimeo-url>

For example:

$ flickvimeo http://vimeo.com/18017106

Warnings

  • This is just a solution to a personal problem I've had — it may completely not work for you
  • This is OS X-specific — it uses AirFlick, so if you don't have that installed and running, you're out of luck
  • This may go against all sorts of Vimeo rules and may break any time they decide to change the format of the Javascript they use on their site
