Love this extension but having a little hiccup...
LBSGuyMay 1, 2015
Pros
Works great and as advertised for sending videos to, in my case, an Apple TV 2 via Airplay. Once playing on the ATV, you can then control it (pause, play, RW, FF) with the Apple remote. This extension is worth paying for.
Cons
"This extension is worth paying for." I only now realize this as something is amiss. As of this writing, with version 2.3, the extension no longer seems to work for me on Vimeo. I'm pretty sure it DID work not too long ago. Updated Safari and extension to no avail. Hopefully I'm not alone with this and it will be fixed. Also, it took me a couple tries to get the initial connection going but it's been rock solid once ever since.
Summary
Even if I never get Vimeo to work, this is still quite valuable for YouTube-- especially for Apple TV *2* users since as of recently, the ATV YouTube app no longer works (still works on ATV 3).

Developer’s Description

Safari extension that sends HTML5 video to QuickTime, AirPlay or disk.

This extension adds contextual menu items to links and HTML5 media elements (fig. 1) that allow you to download a media resource, open it in the QuickTime Player application, or view it on an Apple TV (or any compatible AirPlay device). It also provides a toolbar button to stop playback on the Apple TV (fig. 2).
