Passholders can AirPlay CIFF46 Streams films and shorts programs from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac computer to their Apple TV device.
These step-by-step instructions assume your Apple TV device is set up and ready to go.
- Make sure your Apple TV device is connected to your TV, turned on, and that the correct input on your TV is selected for the Apple TV device.
- As a passholder, you will first need to activate your passhodler account for the CIFF Streams platform. Instructions here.
- Once you have activated your passholder account for the CIFF Streams platform and are ready to stream, on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and from the most recent version of the Safari browser, login into your CIFF Streams platform passholder account.
- From the CIFF Streams platform, search for the film or shorts program's landing page on the CIFF Streams platform.
- Click the “Play” button to open the player and start streaming the film or shorts program.
- In the bottom right-hand corner of the player, click the AirPlay icon and choose the Apple TV device to cast to it.
- The player should now appear on your TV, and your device will display a message that says, "This video is playing on [device name]". If nothing happens, try tapping on your device screen and re-click the play button.
