Apple iPad and Apple T.V.

I have an 27ins iMac and i'am able to watch Popcorn time perfectly, but what would be a lot better, if there was an app: for the iPad, with an app: included to stream it to an Apple T.V.
I'am able to do this with VLC, using my iPad app: I can go to my movie folder on my iMac, choose my movie, then stream it to my Apple T.V. Which then plays on my main Television.
Have you anything lined up for the future, to do this?

Depending on what iMac you have and what version of OS X you are running you can mirror your mac using airplay to your Apple TV. You need to be running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks and have a newer model mac.

These are the supported macs

iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)

Hi guys,

What about consider this options: https://code.google.com/p/open-airplay/
A collection of libraries for connecting over Apple's AirPlay protocol
There are other apps (airparrot, beamer) that can enable airplay even in older macs (I use beamer in my 2009 macbook pro and works great!).

BTW, congrats to all working with the tool!
All the best.
