Movie not showing in ATV but is showing in itunes

i have my appletv set to stream only (no syncing).
i have just added a movie to itunes and it showing all ok in itunes, however it is not showing up on ATV.
how long should it take for it to appear in the movies list in ATV? or should it be instant?
the itunes server is running on a windows PC.

Highlite the video in itunes and from the advanced menu choose "convert selection for tv"
You might also consider 'convert selection for iPod' which will give you a lower quality video but save you some space. You actually shouldn't notice much, if any, loss in quality by doing this since your source video is well below the quality of the iPod setting in any case.
Mike.
A self contained movie is just an ordinary movie file, the other option is a referenced file which is very small, it doesn't contain the movie itself, just instructions about your editing choices and a pointer to the original movie file itself. When QT plays a reference file it actually plays a self contained movie somewhere else, but applies your editing instructions to it on the fly, so to speak.

  • Recently added movies not showing in iTunes 11 library.

    Hi - I have just converted a movie via Handbrake as usual, added it to iTunes as usual ; but it does not appear in the Movies LIbrary on the iMac. I saw the progress bar that said it was copying etc.
    What is strange, I can see it via AppleTV; but not in the iTunes on the computer.
    So summat is up, this is the  first time I have actually added  something to my library since the dreaded iTunes 11 upgrade.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I also had this problem after upgrading and this is what I did to fix it.
    I belived the issue to caused by the iTunes Library.itl file found in (username) > Music > iTunes, since the iTunes Music Library.xml file contained the missing videos.  I moved the iTunes Library.itl file to my Desktop and relunched iTunes.  iTunes was now blank.  Then I went to File > Library > Import Playlist...  I then selected the iTunes Music Library.xml.  This brought back all the music and videos, including the missing ones.
    I also had to grab the Mobile Applications, Books and Tones folders from Finder and drag them back into iTunes as the iTunes Music Library.xml doesn't contain info about those.  Not sure if you need to drag in the Podcasts folder as well since I don't have any podcasts at the moment.
    I have been able to add new videos since and it works fine.  This is a really tedious issue so I hope to not have to do it again.
    (Note: you could also just create a new iTunes library (hold option when launching on mac, hold shift on windows) and add in the content to the new library.  Make sure to delete the old library when finished.)

  • Purchased movies not showing in iTunes for Mac

    I'm using the same apple ID on several devices, and am able to access all purchased movies on my Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad. When using iTunes on my Mac, only 25 of the 50 purchased movies viewable elsewhere are accessible. I've tried accessing the missing items through the iTunes store, hoping that they'd be available for download, but am only given the option to purchase them again. Does anyone else have this problem and/or know how to remedy it? I've already tried deauthorizing/reauthorizing, and logging in and out. It has been happening for a while, so I don't think that it is something that was caused by a recent software update.
    Thank you for any help that you can provide.

    I feel dumb. Solved it for myself. In case anyone else has this issue, instead of looking at purchased items from within your library, go to the iTunes store home page, and select purchased from the menu on the right. Then there will be a tab for "not in my library." This is where your purchased items that haven't been downloaded to your computer reside.

  • Why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed.

    why are my movies not showing on my Mac Book, which is the computer that I used to purchase the movie, but showing on my IMAC at home...I am currently deployed so this ***** a bit. Also how do I keep this incedent from happending in the future?

    No, this is not the case. I know where i purchased the movie and I also know movies cant be added to the cloud such as music, TV shows can.  The instance happened during the dowload. I think that depending which computer is up and running and the bandwith allocated on either network, which ever computer that finishes first is the one that gets the movie. Just a thought. So next time I will ensure my IMAC is not running. I think that fixes it.
    Thanks

  • ITunes movies not showing up on Apple TV

    I'm having some trouble with my movies not showing up on Apple TV.
    The movies I am missing are not purchased from iTunes but I have converted them using Handbrake. I've double checked the format and they seem to be what's required from what I've read in other threads.
    I've also made sure they are in the "movies" category and not "home movies."
    I'm not the most computer savy person... most of what I know is just from reading threads.  Can someone help?
    Here is the format of a movie that's not showing up:
    H.264, 720 x 304, Millions
    AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.00 kHz
    Movie FPS: 23.98
    Playing FPS: 23.98
    Data Size: 1.24 GB
    Data Rate: 938.58 kbits/sec
    Normal Size: 720 x 304 pixels
    Current Size: 720 x 304 pixles

    RogerOut makes some good points and this feels to me like a ham fisted attempt by Apple to take control of my media in a way that I don't want.  The stuff it is choosing to call "home movie" is 100% legit movies, but not ones I bought through the itunes store.  So I load a movie and then it mysteriously does not show up in my Apple TV because it has defaulted to "home movie".
    What I still fail to understand is what the heck is the purpose of this apart from annoying users who's stuff now does not appear on ATV without explanation or warning.  So glad to have this forum to help me, but why should I have to do this to figure out how to overcome a stupid thing that Itunes is doing to my movie (it is a movie!)?
    As I say though, what possible benefit is it for a users media to be labelled in this way and anyway, why does calling it a home movie make it unreadable in ATV?

  • My 5th gen nano will not sync win 7 .says connected but not show in itunes. driver is updated ,working properly ....help

    my 5th gen nano ,has updated driver ,working properly. ipod connected but not showing in itunes ?

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

  • I have transferred my music to new computer but music is not showing in iTunes - although is on the computer as if I select a song from the folder it will play that song via iTunes. How can I get my music to show?

    I have transferred my music to a new computer following the instructions carefully but for whatever reason the music does not show on iTunes on the new computer. The music is there as I can access it via My Computer and if I select a song it will show in iTunes and play - however I can not do this for every single track! Can anyone suggest something I have done wrong????

    Media was moved via external hard disk, and I think I moved the iTunes Media folder after consolidating it.

    Does it say that it works with iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch or iPhone)? iOS devices have a different format/file system than other iPods.

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.
    Download any music by clicking on the cloud button
