Is it possible to stream a rented movie from iTunes on my Mac Mini to my Sharp Aquos Smart Tv

The TV sees other machines on the network just fine, the Mac Mini doesn't appear in the list on the TV.  Trying to get rid of the Windows laptop and just use the Mini, but it is not visible.
Every other thread I've read suggests using an HDMI cable or even an ethernet from Mini to TV but I would like to just leave it all wireless (if possible) since 40' of cabling is not practical!

is that the only way?
I failed to mention I am posting for a friend, I have an Apple TV myself but don't want to come across as pushing more Apple products
Airplay is no doubt the way to go aside from an ATV but I'm looking for something that will allow the Mini to connect to the TV through WiFi and carry on...
The search continues!
(thank you for replying my friend)

    If you have an Apple TV, you can move the rented movie there to watch it. There is no way I know of to do a true stream of a movie rented from the iTunes Store, nor can a movie from there be played on anything other than an Apple device or in Apple's software.

    You must get the movie onto your iPad somehow. If you download it while on Wi-Fi you will not use cellular data. Once the movie has been downloaded you will not use cellular data or Wi-Fi.

    Can I watch a rented movie from iTunes on my iPhone while on a plane?

    I read that I may need to start the movie prior to departure so that it can connect via wifi (or whatever internet connection I use) and start the 24-hr "timer" for rented movies.  So,.. no truth to that?  More specifically, I can start a rented movie on iTunes, while on a plane, without an internet connection?

  • Can I watch a rented movie from Itunes (iMac) on my Apple TV 3 without airplay and home sharing?

    I recently download a rented movie from itunes store in my iMac. My question is, if I can watch my rented movie in my apple tv without Airplay or Home sharing? The reason is because I don't want to turn on my iMac every time that I want to watch a movie.
    Thanks!

    If you rented the movie from Apple TV, then you can't watch it on the iPad.  The screenshot below is from Here

  • HT1657 do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes

    Do you need internet to watch a rented movie from itunes?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    From my own personal experience, I have found that when I turn off the Wi-Fi on my Wi-Fi only iPad, I am still able to play rented movies on it. I have tried this perhaps four or five times and in each case, this has been the result. I have also noted that other users have had the same experience as I.
    However saying that I have noted a small number of users that have stated they are unable to view rented movies without an Internet connection. This knowledge base article from Apple, also suggests that an Internet connection is required.

  • Trouble renting movie from itunes

    Has anybody ever received a message when renting movies from iTunes directly on to Apple TV, 2nd G, Error-unable to download content, try again later.  I have not rented anything in a while and I do not seem to be able to move past this point in the rental process.  The movie is behaving like it has been rented, as it is showing I have 29 days to view.  Upon pressing play, it starts showing the loading, and then instead of starting to play the movie or provide an estiamte of how long until it can be played, it goes to the error message above.

    Thank you for the suggestion.  I did pull all cables and reboot the router.  Some additional information I found as I tried other aspects of Apple TV.  Via iTunes I could download and watch theater trailers.  On You Tube I could watch Selected content.  However, when I tried a You Tube Search, for a topic, I receieved yet another strange message indicating a connection issue.  However, mutliple tasks on the menu do connect to the internet and work fine.  I have rebooted the Apple TV several times.  It almost seems if the software of firmware is corrupted.  Does anybody have any additonal thoughts or similar experiences.

  • Have iPod Touch and want to view rented movies from iTunes on our TV

    We have an iPod Touch. I rented movies from iTunes. We would like to connect the iPod to the television so the whole family can watch at the same time. We did a little research and was told to buy a "Eforcity Premium Retractable Apple iPod AV Composite Cable, White [Compatible with: iPod with Color Display / including iPod Photo / iPod Video (including U2 Special Editions of iPod Photo &Video)]" which we did. In our research it said in the instructions it said to access the "TV Out Video Setting". My husband can't find it and hence is unable to get it to work. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.

    I don't think that cable is compatible with the iPhone or the iPod touch. I know the old Apple AV cable wont work with the iPod touch, you need either a Apple Composite AV Cable or an Apple Component AV Cable. See here for more info http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?locale=en_US.

  • HT4095 Watching rented movie from iTunes on my iPad in the middle of nowhere...

    If I'm driving in the middle of nowhere will a rented movie from iTunes play fine on my iPad? Or not if the internet connection is potentially intermittent or sporadic?

    As long as the movie has completely downloaded, you will not need an Internet connection at all.

  • HT1657 Renting movies from iTunes without in-home Internet

    I don't have Internet at home. Can I download the movie on my laptop and watch it at home later or is the movie streaming?

    Rented movies are downloaded and once completely downloaded should play without an Internet connection.  But in some cases, the common factor of which I have yet to determine from the various reports, iTunes insists on connecting to the iTunes Store when you go to play the rental. So while it's probable that you will have no difficulties, you may not be able to play the rental when you get home.
