Movies on NAS no longer showing on ATV

I am new to this forum and need your help. I have had my ATV running for 6 months with no problems until a recent sw update.
The problem I am experiencing is that I can longer see Movies that are not synced directly onto the ATV. I have about 100 movies and only 20 or so show up in the list.
I have the following:
1.5 TB NAS (Network Attached Storage)
PC running iTunes
Apple TV
Network: Everything is Hardwired through GB Ethernet switch
I use the NAS to store all Music/Photos/Video. Using itunes on the PC I am able to see everything. Like I said the ATV only displays items that have been synced onto it's HDD. Prior to the sw update I could see all movies regardless if they were on the ATV HDD or not.
Any advice?

I am having the same problem with my ATV.
I have a PC running Itunes 8 hardwired to a 100 MPs
a terabyte usb Drive
ATV connected via Wireless to the network
When I reset the ATV to Factory Defaults it works for a while
I run the ATV Update and it still works
After a few days the Streamed content dissapears again....
I reset and everything is happy for a while ...
This is frustrating.

  • Previously Purchased Movie on iTunes No Longer Showing Up Under Purchased Items

    I purchased a movie from iTunes in November 2012 (Coldplay: Live 2012) and it wasn't showing up on my AppleTV Purchased movies section (wanting to use the iTunes Extra feature on recent AppleTV 6.2 update). I've checked other threads and it was suggested to check my account for Hidden Purchases. The movie I purchased does not show up under Hidden Purchases.
    I then checked Purchased items from the main iTunes page, and I don't even see the movie listed there, even though I have a record of the purchase through my Purchase History under My Account.
    Any suggestions on how to get this to show up under my Purchased items on iTunes or AppleTV?

    I am having similar problems buying movies. The rights issue occurs even if iTunes change or reduces the price of a movie. I now have to check my saved library of past purchases to confirm I do not already have the movie to avoid buying it again.The latest occurrence was fifth element. 
    It would be really useful if apple would allow you to download a full copy of your past purchases as it is no longer possible to rely on the iTunes store to match your own downloaded  content library and the current licenses it holds. This also plays havoc with genius recommendations for purchases.
    It would be nice if apple could buy Time/Warner or another media giant so we could break this monopoly of selling the same content over and over again by simply changing the format or metadata of a product.

  • I previously purchased a movie but it no longer shows up on my itunes account. How can I retrieve my movie. I still have the receipt too.

    I lost a movie that I purchased form Itunes a year ago. It is no longer in my library but I have a receipt to prove that I purchased it. How can I recover it? thanks

  • Movies purchased from itunes not showing in ATV

    How do I get my movies to sync with ATV?

    Do you have your AppleTV already setup to sync?
    Should be a straightforward process if you already have.
    Guess we need more info.

  • 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.

  • Some movies from DVD won't show up on ATV

    I'm having a problem with ripped movies.
    Some movies ripped from DVDs I own do not show up on ATV. (Streaming)
    For example, I ripped 2 disc set of "The Lord of the Rings: Extended edition" by HandBrake 0.8.5b1, using exact same setting (FFmpeg 4, 2300kbps).
    I see both files on iTunes. I see the disc 2 on ATV and it plays just fine, but not disc 1. Disc 1 does not show up on ATV under Movies section.
    Restarting iTunes, Mac itself, ATV or re-pairing ATV with Mac didn't work.
    Do you have any idea what I'm missing here?
    Thanks for your advice.
    [Setup]
    iTunes Server: MacBook C2D
    Movie Files: Stored on an External USB drive connected to AEBS (802.11n)
    MacBook C2D (Black, 2GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.9) Apple TV, iPod Shuffle (Aluminum), Airport Extreme (n)

    It may be worth checking you've got the correct sound settings.
    I converted a recorded TV show into a mov using H264 encoding and AAC, or so I thought.
    I cannot see the file on aTV and if I sync it say the movie cannot play on aTV.
    The reason looks to be that the audio was erroneously saved as an incorrect format (Integer, Big endian) - no idea if this was a conversion glitch or user error, but I was convinced it was the video rate when it's probably the audio all along!

  • A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version.  Any ideas??

    A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers.  I downloaded latest version & no change.  Any ideas??

    ME TOO.
    I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
    * movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
    * for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
    * Items are showing up multiple times.
    * A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
    * Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
    * Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
    Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

  • Movie category no longer showing up??

    My AppleTv 2nd generation no longer shows MOVIES category. Never been a problem before. Is this because of an update? How do I access movies for rent from Itunes Store?

    I have the same exact problem. only the Internet-Computer-Settings icons are shown.
    The internet features (youtube etc.) work perfectly.
    i've checked the location settings as well, seems no problem.
    still not working. i could rent only one movie ever since I got my ATV2.

  • Upgraded my Living Room Apple TV to 5.2 and now it no longer shows up on my iPads as an option

    Upgraded my Living Room Apple TV to 5.2 and now it no longer shows up on my iPads as an option to play back my iTunes rented movies. Any idea why or how to get it to reappear? I did not update my bedroom Apple TV and it still appears as an option. Many thanks in advance.

    Did you check to see if AirPlay was still eneabled on ATV after the update?  Was the iPad/iPhone updated to iOS 6.1?

    I rented a movie and it does not show up on my apple tv but is in my video app on my phone.   How can I watch it on my tv?

    A movie rented on an iPhone can only be viewed on an iPhone. If you want to view on TV you need to rent directly on ATV or via computer (and stream using home-sharing)

  • AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes after Snow Leopard security update?

    I just installed the latest security update for Snow Leopard and now my AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes. I don't know for sure if the security update is actually the cause, but I was able to connect not even an hour earlier in the evening.
    Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I've power cycled the ATV, along with my router with no change.

    Could be the same problem others are having with latest version of iTunes. See this thread:

  • Apple TV no longer showing up in Itunes

    I went to settings on Apple TV and tested the network, which was o.k. Apple TV is connected through an ethernet connection to a Linksys router. Apple TV no longer shows up in Itunes. An aside question relating to Itunes: In my movie library, to the left of the movie name, a circle sometimes appears. Some movies have no circles. Some of the circles which appear are solid blue, some are half blue/half white. What do these circles and color codes mean? thanks

    Have you tried restarting all your equipment, has anything anywhere on your set p changed.

    A blue circle indicates you haven't yet watched it, a half blue circle that you have started to watch it but didn't finish it.

  • Aple tv no longer showing up in iTunes

  • After updating Apple TV from 1.1 to 2.0, no longer shows up in iTunes 7.6

    My Apple TV was working fine with sw ver 1.0 and then 1.1.
    After updating it to sw ver 2.0, it no longer shows up in my
    iTunes 7.6 on my Powermac, running the latest Tiger updates,
    10.4.11
    I've been following the trouble shooting guide, and have power
    cycled the Apple TV. I've ensured that the Firewall allows
    iTunes, iPhoto, and Bonjour (UDP 5353) through. I've tried
    disabling the Apple firewall.
    I have not yet power cycled my computer, because it is busy
    running iPhoto, importing my photos. I have not yet removed
    and reinstalled iTunes. Will do both of those after iPhoto
    finishes importing.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thank you,

    Got it working!
    Besides the Apple specified debugging items for ATV not showing up in iTunes,
    I ran disk warrior on my disks, and repaired the permissions on my boot disk.
    At some point, ATV running 2.0 showed up on iTunes. Then, it went away, and
    would not come back.
    I restored ATV to factory defaults, sw 1.1. This time, it did not show up in iTunes.
    Found that at some point NetBarrier X5 decided that the ATV was a computer attempting a DOS attack on my Mac, and decided to drop all packets from the ATV. Fixed that, and got ATV 2.0 working with iTunes 7.6
