Cannot see "all" iTunes movies on Apple TV but can Air Play all of them?

Hi all.
I have a Mac Mini running Mountain Lion (Now Mavericks but had the same issue before today) with a Pegasus R6 drive storing my iTunes library. The issue I am having is when I go to either one of my Apple TVs about 90% of the movies in iTunes show up in the list. I have re installed the Apple TV OS as well as had one of the units replaced. I don’t get the issue with photos, music, TV shows etc just the movies. Originally I thought it may have been wrong format as there is a combo of DVD rips using Pavtube BD ripper (encoded for Apple TV) and some from my Sony Action Cam but there is nothing consistent about the ones not showing. The strange thing is when I locate these movies that are not listed in iTunes and use the airplay feature to send it to the Apple TV it has no issues at all? As a side note I had the same issue on my old network but not have 4 brand new Airport Extremes and this mini was a replacement for an iTunes that had the same issues so I don’t think its OS.
Any thoughts wonderful people?

James Ward4  Thanks for your suggestion.  I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes.  Thanks again.

  • Ipad mini remote app will connect to my itunes library and apple tv but can't play content from itunes library on the apple tv

    What I am trying to do is very simple, and I am sure I have done it before.
    I have an Apple TV (2nd Gen) connected to Wifi Network (Airport Extreme 802.11n) I want to stream content from the itunes library on my macbook pro over the wifi network to the Apple TV. This works no problem, home sharing is set up and I can see the itunes library under 'Computer' on the Apple TV interface. I can use the Apple Remote to scroll through and play content from my itunes. Works no problem.
    Now I want to use the remote app on my ipad mini to control the apple tv. Using up to date app (Version 3.01) Again, everything looks like it should work. I have turned on Home Sharing on the remote app settings. It works fine and both my itunes library and Apple TV show up on the interface. I can touch the itunes icon and control the itunes on my computer and play music and video on my computer screen. 
    Now when I touch the apple tv icon I can't see my itunes library content to play on the apple tv. I see the below image. If I tap on the icon in the bottom left it takes me back to the screen in the first image. What is the strangest thing is that I can control the apple tv using the gestures interface! This isn't what I want though and I want to be able to see the itunes library on the screen of the ipad and play it on the apple tv. You can see in the video on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEpgcE9KCs). This is what I am trying to do and I just don't understand why I don't get the screen seen at 1:25 in the video. Instead I get the screen seen in the below image.

    OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

  • I can see the itunes library on apple tv but songs will not play

    I can see the itunes library on apple tv but songs will not play, this happens after 2 songs play

    Finally achieved my fix by changing channels on my Billlion router to 11, and not letting the ATV sleep.  Give it a try, I spent a good four frustrating weeks until I did this.

  • Cannot rent & buy a movie from Apple TV but no problem on MAC iTunes_ Security Code issue

    I cannot rent or buy movies from Apple TV while my credit card details are correct and exactly the same as on iTunes. I am getting a security code request it's 3 digits but doesn't go further unless i insert 4 digits... as a result I get an invalid security code error...

    When you view the main page on the Apple TV and select the movies option you should see the rental on the top shelf. There is also a rental section at the top of the page once you enter the movie section.

  • HT1657 AppleTV recognized iTunes movie rental from iMac but wouldn't play

    Last night I rented a movie from my iMac, hoping to watch from AppleTV. I've done this before. AppleTV recognized the rental but just wouldn't play it. I'm crazy busy right now but had a window of time and energy last night. I'm not sure I have time to watch withiin 30 days. Can I get a refund?

    I purchased a bundle of 5 movies thru itunes and only one is on my library. how do I get the other 4?
    (I am not great with computers)

    Which OS version are you on?
    Which Mac - model/year?
    Did you download all 5 movies (depending on your connection, that could have taken quite some time)? Have you checked to see if they're available for download?

When i press play i just get a black screen. teh ticker at the bottom continues as though it is playing, but nothing. if i click the Chapters tab at the top i can see all the chapter pictures but still cannot watch any of the films. help

    Sound like you are playing with a beta version of iTunes in which case this conversation should be taking place in the developer forums...

  • Purchased movie on Apple TV, but can't download to ipad.

    I recently got an Apple TV, I purchased a movie on it using the same iTunes account as on my ipad. I purchased a movie on my Apple TV. But I wanted to downloaded it to my ipad, but what I click on the movie the only option I get is to watch, not download to my ipad. What is going on?

    from the apple rental page;
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1415
    You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
    Probably not what you wanted to see, but there it is.  I believe this is tied to the liscensing agreements with the studios.

  • I cannot see my itunes library on the main menu under computers despite the network being active and the home sharing on on both the devices the mac and apple tv. Any ideas?

    Hi Monty,
    Sorry to say it, but this is normal for Apple TVs. I've owned a TV2 and a TV3, and neither lasted for an entire year. They are quite fragile and of low quality, and as you can see here, quite fussy even when they work. The wi-fi receiver on these are cheap and unreliable.
    Consider the $99 an annual rental fee. They rarely work for a whole year, so if you are going to use the platform, you will have to replace them constantly.
    Also, when one dies under warranty, never, never send it to Apple for repair. Go to the Apple Store for replacement. I sent my ATV3 in for warranty repair using a box sent to me by Apple, and although FedEx tracking showed it was accepted by Apple, it was never seen again. Apple won't replace it or even return my calls.
