DRM is BS. Can't play BOUGHT VIDEOS!!!!!!

Is there any solution to this without the headache of converting everything I buy from iTunes (shows/movies) to a non-drm format? I bought a brand new LG LW5600 TV and it has an app on it called Mediaplex. I installed the server on my iMac 27" so I could watch my legally purchased video content on my new 46" TV. After going through all the trouble of setting everything up, I connected to the server with the TV only to get an error that Mediaplex can not play this DRM content.
So I'm left with either buying a freaking Apple TV or using an HDMI cable to connect the Mac. Just to do the same thing my TV already has built in capability of doing.
This is ridiculous! I PAID FOR THIS CONTENT AND NOW YOU REQUIRE ME TO USE AN APPLE PRODUCT TO WATCH IT???
I'm pretty sure there isn't a solution besides those I've mentioned above. So yeah, I just want to vent and let Apple know I'm not buying any more of my Tv shows or Movies from iTunes. Not until they get their **** together.
I don't see how this DRM crap affects pirates what-so-ever. The only people getting screwed by it are the legal customers purchasing content through iTunes.

All digital movies have that, its not just Apple. Amazon probably has the same policy, you can only play it through amazon apps. It's not Apple's fault, its just the way the Networks and Movie companies require retailers to sell their products. It's already known to be not stopping piracy at all (easily removable with 3rd part software). Music companies already took DRM away from itunes music about 2 years ago, lets hope these TV Networks figure it out soon.

  • Can't play the video in my Lumia 520

    Hi
    I always love the work of nokia and this time trailer app is just Nice but there's a problem.
    I have downloaded 6 trailers and only 1 is able to play.
    Rest of them says "sorry we can't play this video on your phone".
    I have no idea what's wrong with my phone.
    Please help.
    I have a Lumia 520.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @livinglife,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions! 
    What is the error message displayed when you try playing the video? Have you tried using mobile data? If yes, does it show the same issue? What fixes have you tried so far? By the way, are you using the same phone model?

  • Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

    Can I play home video on my ipod touch?

    So, the only way to watch home video in ipod touch is via itunes? Because in fact i'm trying to use my ipod touch as a video monitor for my DSLR camera while i use it for filming. I thought i could use the hdmi adapter for ipod touch, but everyone tells me that it might not be possible, so i wont buy it without knowing if it is possible or not. I wonder if it is phisicaly possible, so all we would need for that is someone to develop a softare to use the hdmi adapter to watch a video into an ipod. I say this because my camera has a hdmi video out, but it could be with simple RCA cables too. Someone think it is possible?

  • Can't play quicktime video in IE 11 on Windows 8.1

    So, I wanted to watch the sweet new film of the iPhone 6, but after I click the "Watch the film" link, all I get is the player control... I can't get the video to play:
    I'm running the latest version of IE 11 on Windows 8.1 64-bit. I also have the latest version of QuickTime v7.7.1.
    For what it's worth, I also can't watch the video in Chrome, presumably because I have the latest version of Chrome 37.0.2062.120 m (64-bit) and the QuickTime plugin is only 32-bit and not compatible with this version of Chrome.

    I updated quicktime to 7.7.5, restarted my computer, and again I was not able to view the video. Just like the screenshot above, I can see the player, but I can't play the video. I then tried to re-install, by selecting repair as you suggested, and still it does not work.
    Surely I'm not the only person with this issue.

  • I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook

    I can't play certain videos from the internet on my macbook.
    When using Sarfari or Google Chome, I am unable to play some videos on the internet. News clips, posted videos on blogs, and tv episodes from their own network websites. Youtube videos are fine. I doesn't make sense.
    I tried downloading an update for quicktime, but the computer claims that quicktime is up to date. Yet, the videos and tv episodes don't play.
    I have checked for the most recent software updates, and everything is up to date. Nothing is wrong with the hardware either.
    Any suggestions would be awesome! Thank you!

    In addition to Flash, you might need some other plugins.  Microsoft videos are mostly in Silverlight, and you'll want Flip4Mac to play WMVs.  Perian contains codecs for pretty much every video online.

  • HT4437 Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Can I play a video from the remote app onto apple tv whilst simultaneously stra,ing music to other speakers via express?

    Thank you for that, I wanted to make sure I was trying to replicate the same thing as you. Just tried it now, works fine for me.
    Of note though, this will take a relatively well performing network to achieve this, I have such a network, if your network is not as good as it might be, you might encounter problems.
    For the avoidance of doubt, I used the remote app on my phone to get my iTunes library on my computer to stream music to 3 of my Apple TVs, I then used the remote app to control another Apple TV and get it to stream a music video from my computer to it. Of interest I managed to do this while my wife was using yet another Apple TV (not with the remote app) to watch something else from iTunes on my computer.

  • I can't play YouTube videos on my IPhone! What's the problem?

    I can't watch YouTube Videos on my IPhone 4 (iOS 5.0.1 No jailbreak) The Debug Console from Safari tells me, that there's a mistake in the JavaScript. How to fix it? I already spoke with Google, but they didn't have a problem. I can open other website and by example videos from Vimeo, but I can't play YouTube-Videos.
    I hope, you can help me!

  • Can't play YouTube videos on Safari

    Hi I can't play YouTube videos on Safari any more. I have noticed that I can play videos on Safari but not on YouTube. When atempting to watch a video on You Tube it won't finish loading. It appears to load at first evenutally stops before the video can play. I then receive the "Plug-in Failure" message.
    I am using Safari 5.1.7 on Mac OS X 10.7.4. 
    I believe I am using the latest version of Abobe Flash Player, which I downloaded when I first noticed the problem.
    Please note I do not wish change to a different web browser. Thanks for reading.

    Yes, but I could be mistaken. Below is the version of Flash Player I am using:
    Shockwave Flash
    Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.
    application/futuresplash
    FutureSplash Player
    spl

  • Can't play music videos in sequence

    I have about 10 - 12 music videos on my iMac, all of which were downloaded from iTunes.
    I can only play one video on the AppleTV and then it stops. Is there a way to play iTunes music videos on my AppleTV in either shuffle or sequence? After one video plays it does not advance to the next video. I have syched the videos to my AppleTV.
    Thank you.

    If Apple would fix this so the music videos would all play one after another, this would be such a much needed enhancement, as I have really enjoyed this device. Keeping my fingers crossed for 2008...

    Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

    first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
    the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey. 
      example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive)  the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
    but that is very occasionally,  most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed  ,  I don't know how that effects qt.
    qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)  
    I have gone to VLC  and MPlayerX  for direct playback for drones and cameras.
