Jason (Third Jason here),
We too have been getting the lean-on from faculty and staff to bring the
ATV experience to the classrooms and conference rooms.
To reiterate what another poster asked, your app is just allowing the
iDevice to publish the remote ATV to itself locally, right?
My question is, does your app have all of PSU's ATV devices hard-coded
into it or served up from a website that your app code connects to?
Is the app simply taking static DNS names or IPs of ATVs and publishing
them locally as they are selected in the app thereby forcing the iDevice
to resolve them on the network and enumerate them?
I hope I have the concept right. If that's the case then building a
simple website that filters by user role, schedule, etc and lets one
connect to any ATV on the fly would be great. I suppose you could still
require PIN entry on the ATV to restrict access to folks within viewing
range.
Anyhow, it sounds promising and I for one am looking forward to the code
release. Thanks for such a cool effort.

Brian,
We should have the code available next week. We just need to clean up our
Github repository. We are currently distributing the app under our iOS
Developer Enterprise Program to all of PSU through an easy web site download.

Any chance you'd be willing to share that app? My iPad is jailbroken, so I can
sideload it.

We took a slightly different approach to solve our issue with the
AppleTV specifically at Penn State. We do have a Doceri deployment
but recently we have released a PSU Airplay iOS enterprise app to
allow mirroring to AppleTVs w/o having bonjour enabled. Since I saw
this topic come up I thought it was a good time to share.
That's a very impressive solution, good thinking.
Thanks!
If interested you can find out more on a recent blog entry I wrote up
on the specifics.

on-enterprise-wireless-networks/
So the app advertises the Airplay service over the network, but only
the device it's running on sees the advertisement because you have
multicast disabled?
That's correct. On an earlier revision we were doing SSID detection and only
broadcasting if that network was connected. We later removed that since we
could stop the broadcast when the app went into background, and then restart
the broadcast when it was in foreground.
