How to play .avi on Atv2

How to play media files using Atv2 without using itunes?

iTunes is required to stream local content on the network to AppleTV, unless you are using 'Airplay' to send video from an iPhone/iPad etc to AppleTV2 from a compatible app.
AppleTV2 as shipped is unable to access NAS devices or DLNA servers.  There are unofficial hacks out there but they cannot be discussed here and would not lead to a stable solution as changes in AppleTv software would often render them non/poorly functional.
AppleTV2 requires h264 video files with specific encoding.
If you have .avi files, try downloading the free Handvbrake video converter to changethem to h264 using the AppleTV2 preset then add to itunes - this will be time consuming however, more for longer/higher resolution video.  Try Subler for editing metadata on your movie files or change using Get Info on a file in iTunes.
Good luck.

  • How to play .avi-files in QT?

    Hi
    I just had to reinstall my OS 'cause my MacBook was behaving really badly.
    I used to be able to play .avi-files in Quicktime (I must have had the right codecs/plug ins?), but now I'm not anymore. I have the latest version of QT and have just downloaded new DivX codecs (from a link on apple.com). So now I have a new DivX-player. But what do I have to do to make the .avi-files play in QT?
    And also, how do I play wma-files in QT?
    Thank you

  • How to play .avi video files

    I've been searching for a program to download that will play .avi video files. The things I find, I either can't install, or they don't play .avi. I can't install them because I can't figure out how to run .exe applications either, which most of the installation files are (it just says choose application).
    Can someone please tell me of a good update to quicktime or a different video program, and/or tell me how to open .exe files?

    Well you can check out some of the free players like
    VLC:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14738
    or
    Mplayer:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27163
    Both of which will play just about any file format.
    Alternatively you can set up quicktime to play these same files (mpeg4, avi, etc.). You can find out how to do so along with links to the various codecs here:

  • How to play AVI movies with Qtime?

    I have some .avi movies and was prompted(by QTime) to go to 3rd party download site to find an "add on" for adapting it to work. Non avi players / codecs / anything on the website. Please suggest alternatives. thx.

    AVI files play perfectly using QuickTime Player on all three of my Macs. Either you didn't install Perian correctly, or you have some faulty QuickTime software, or you have one particular AVI file that is corrupt. Try another AVI file. What is the message you get from QuickTime when you use QT to open the file?
    Also, my VLC (you have written VLI, but surely you have VLC???) plays AVI files perfectly... well, as perfectly as VLC can.

  • How to play AVI and MKV files on a Mac?

    First let me say I'm converting to mac soon. Hence these questions.
    I know VLC player can play AVI and MKV files on a Mac. But I want to use DivX Plus Player cause it has a prettier user interface. Does DivX Plus Player play all AVI and MKV files on a Mac?
    Does Perian still work on the latest version of Mountain Lion?
    Does converting AVI and MKV files to MP4 using the free software Handbrake cause severe loss of quality?
    Does an App exist on the Mac App Store that can play AVI and MKV files?
    Thank you.

  • How to play avi movie?

    I've just bought an iMac with OS 10.7 loaded on it and I can't play .avi movies.  So far I've only found DivX software, but it is free for 6 months and then I have to buy it.  Does anyone know a free application that would allow me to play .avi movies?

    Try Quicktime after downloading a http://perian.en.softonic.com/maclittle plug in called Perian.
    It works with me .
    You,ve tried hitting the space bar after selecting the avi file this also works with my imac
    it also plays srt files

    If you have a Mac, you can download Flip4Mac which will allow Quicktime Player to play them. Then you can do a "save as" and save them as a mov file. If you import the saved file into iTunes (under movies) and the Apple TV still doesn't see it, you can right-click it and size for ATV, iPad, etc.
    If you have a PC, maybe Quicktime will play and convert, don't know for sure.
