Can i stream movies to apple tv directly

Can you stream movies from the time capsule directly to the apple tv?

No the TC is not a media player or server. The Apple TV if you have a Gen 1 or Gen 2 can play files... but you will need to jail break it... ie load 3rd party firmware. ATV 3 has so far resisted all attempts to hack.

  • Can't stream movies to Apple TV on an external hard drive!

    Hi!
    Is there anyone who has successfully streamed an
    linked/referenze movie on an external drive to Apple-TV?
    I can play the movie (from an external drive) in iTunes but can't see the movie in Apple TV!?
    thx

    yes, there's nothing like that in the Windows world.
    I think QT Pro for windows might do that
    Can you save multiple reference files? Sort of like an editing history?
    I suppose you could do that with them
    I'm guessing this guy will need to somehow commit the changes to the movie to get this to work then.
    Actually I believe Mr Lee has posted about this before and I think I told him I don't think this will work over the tv, he may only be looking for a second opinion.

  • Stream movies with Apple TV 3 from time capsule

  • How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

    how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
    I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
    Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

    To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
    Now I've got something to do.

  • How can I stream Netflix on Apple TV

    How can I stream Netflix to Apple TV? On Apple TV Internet setting shows you tube but not Netflix.

    You'll need to make sure you have the new black small AppleTV and not the original one.
    If you do have the new one, you can make sure to do any of the software updates from the settings menu (I think.. I don't have one to reference).
    It appears under the Internet tab and is very clearly on the list.

  • Can u stream movies from netflix on the iphone 5 on to a tv without a cord?

    Can u stream movies from netflix on the iphone 5 on to a tv without a cord?

    Unfortunatly with movies in the iCloud it physically gets downloaded to your device. I am thinking some of the reasons for this is because of possible changes in bandwidth speed on 3G or 4G networks well as coverage for those networks. Nothing would be worse when watching a movie that I am streaming I the car and I loose cellular coverage. The good news is with it downloading when you are done watching it, delete it and download another one.

  • Can i stream for 2 apple tv so i mean 3 monitors

    Apple TVs are connected to HDTVs and each monitor requires its own Apple TV. You can use home sharing to stream from multiple computers TO Apple TV, but you can't stream FROM one Apple TV to multiple monitors.

  • Can i rent movies to my ipad directly

    Can I rent movies to my Ipad directly, or do I need to rent through my computer and transfer to my ipad??

    Sure.  I do it regularly.  There is one minor difference...
    If you download to the computer, you get to choose which IOS device you will use to watch it.  If you download directly to your IOS device (iPad), you've already made your choice.
