Movies purchased from iTunes to stream to LG smart TV from NAS via DLNA?

Want to stream HD movies purchased from iTunes and stored on a WD NAS drive on LG smart TV (42LN578V)? Movies have standard iTunes DRM protection and so won't currently play on TV. Why is this not possible?! DRM or iTunes app for TV would offer sufficient protection for copyright holders surely? PC not up to job (so can't 'cast' to TV) and this would be a backwards step anyway. Must 'play' on TV in HD & 5.1. Is this not possible?!

iTunes running on windows laptop by the way. Don't want this to have to be on in order to watch the movies. Can an Apple TV box be an 'authorised device' for use in playing iTunes movies and then stream them directly from NAS?

  • How can I play an HD movie purchased from Itunes  on my TV using HDMI connection?

    I would like to know how i can play movies purchased in Itunes on my TV using the HDMI cable?   When I try playing HD movies from Itunes I can't play them.  I get the following error:
    "To play in HD, you must have a computer with a built in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP".
    I used to be able to play them before but not anymore.  Not sure why.  Maybe it's due to the new update.  Is there a fix?
    Thanks,

    Ok, best to contact itunes then so they can look into it

    Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

  • Is it possible to watch a movie purchased from Itunes without internet or an apple device?

    I've read a lot of different websites about whether I can watch movies without internet and they've gone back and forth. I want to watch movies on bus trips and I don't want to spend money buying something I can't use for what I want. Help??

    What do you want to watch it on?
    You need a computer (Mac or Windows) with iTunes, an AppleTV, an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad.

  • Movies purchased from iTunes-What format?

    Does anyone know if movies purchased from iTunes store can be burned to a DVD and played in a DVD player? I'm thinking about buying some but I would like to play them on my 63" TV rather than my puter.
    Message was edited by: Igor_G5

    I know I can hook the puter up to my TV but then I also need to hook it up to my surround sound as well which would involve buying a bunch of adapters and cables which is more expense and inconvenience. And I don't have the convenience of the remote control. Seems to me that if I'm going to buy a movie for $15 I should at least be able to burn it to a DVD. I could go to the store and buy for that price or less. I just wanted to buy a movie so I could watch it tonight and I don't want to go anywhere. Besides, a lot of people on the forums have been saying that they can't get their MBP's to play through their TV's. Samsung seems to be the biggest problem and that is what I have. Doesn't give me much reason to buy from iTunes.

  • HT4743 My TV will play movies purchased from itunes via apple tv but not tv shows..why ? thank you

    My TV will play movies via apple tv but on trying to play tv shows keeps asking for authorization..why ? How do I authorize ? Many thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Are the movies purchased from the iTunes Store and if so were they purchased from the same account as the TV shows.

  • HT2729 itouch 5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes that are in my itunes library.

    My new itouch5 will not sync movies purchased from itunes thatsare saved in my itunes library.

    Mike, Hi
    Thanks for yoursuggestions. I did see that article, tried correcting the permissions, looked at a few of the other things, but this doesn't make sense. This would only be the second computer that had these purchased songs on them. SO the 5 computer limit should have nothing to do with it.
    The weird thing is how the computer tells me that it's not authorized to play the purchased songs and gives me the opportunity to put in either an AOL code or an Apple ID code to authorize this computer to play the song. I do it. I get a message that, congratulations, the computer has been successfully authorized to play the song. But then it simply does not play and when you try to play it it just recycles right back to the original message saying that the computer is not authorized.

  • Can't download movies purchased from itunes on my ipad

    I have many movies purchased through iTunes store.  In the past I was able to download to my iPad to watch when out of wifi.  Now many titles, I cannot.  Previously, I downloaded Avengers and watched, now it won't. Why?

    I had the same issue and was able to fix it...  I went to settings / videos and turned on "show all videos". I did the same at settings / iTunes and App Store.  Then, when I returned to "videos", all of my purchases were there (took a second).  At that point I did NOT get the "watch" button...I DID get the "cloud" icon And was able to download.....

  • Redownloading my previous movie purchases in iTunes

    Why can I not redownload my previous movies purchased on iTunes after Apple announced last night that you can know apparently do????

    Maybe you don't have iTunes 10.6? Maybe you are not in the USA?  Maybe it is one of the ones that isn't available?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows and movies. Movies available in the United States only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.

  • Do all movies purchased include iTunes Extras

    Do all movies purchased include "iTunes Extras"; extra fetures, deleted sceans etc.?

    I don't owe you an answer. I, like just about everyone else here, am just a fellow user. We don't get paid to help here, so it would pay you not to presume that we do and become demanding. And this thread was about a completely different subject and is from back in March. If you wish help with a problem, include more details in your own thread on the subject so that people have information on which to base a diagnosis and then perhaps someone will have useful suggestions.
    Regards.

  • I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) on my iPad2 in-flight

    I cannot view rented movies (purchased through itunes) with the Video app on my iPad2 while flying. On a hunch, I purchased in-flight wifi and only then could I watch my rentals. What gives? Any suggestions on how to avoid paying for in-flight wifi is appreciated.

    I don't think that he waited a day.  From the wording, I concluded that he waited only minutes (during take-off).
    I recall seeing this issue before.  Apparently there is an issue related to copyright protection with some movies.  I stopped flying when I retired so I didn't pay too much attention to the problem.  Perhaps a search of the forum will shed more light.

  • How do you find the average bitrate for 1080p movies purchased in iTunes?

    Can anyone point me in the direction of how to find the average bitrate for 1080p movies purchased in iTunes?
    For instance, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows on Bluray has an average bitrate of 18.523 Mbps.
    Thanks in advance!

    Some titles look great from iTunes Store but over the years I have been very aware of distracting banding issues especially in dark/bright areas for example where you'd expect a smooth gery/black gradient but you get discrete bands of greys to black.
    Many people say they don't see it, but I'm very sensitive to it.
    I'm not convinced it's a pure bitrate problem, more to do with the encoding algorithm. Either way it's a clear disincentive to build a library of this content if you see it.

  • Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

    For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
    Thanks.
