My apple TV will not play the m4v files from my pinnacle dazzle.

I recently purchased the Pinnacle Dazzle analog to digital converter. It states that it can convert an analog file to a apple TV compatable file. m4v I converted some analog files and found that they play fine on itunes but when I stream them to the apple TV they run a few frames and then stall like they are trying to get more information. I tried this with several types of videos and have the same problem...does anyone out there have a similar problem.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
The fact that files play in itunes and not on the Apple tv indicates there are two areas to consider here. The files may be encoded in an incompatible format for the Apple tv or there are problems in the movie atoms caused by improper encoding.
When you create .m4v files from your A/D converter do you use an Apple tv preset or do you need to input your own settings.
What happens if you choose to convert these files to an Apple tv format in itunes.

  • Apple TV will not play the entire song

    I use Apple TV to play music because of the sound system hooked to my HD television. However, I have discovered that Apple TV will not play the entire song if it is long. For example, "Tales From Topographic Oceans" by Yes is one album of six 20+-minute songs. When each track gets about half way through, the system switches to the next track. I cannot find anything in Settings to fix this, either in iTunes on Apple TV. Help?

    the newer appletv dont have their own strorage
    so they can only access the shared lib of the computer
    some computers are set to power saving levels where they will turn off if not used by a real user for X mins
    if that happens the shared lib will no longer be avaible to the atv in which case it will not be able to keep playing

  • Dreamweaver cc 2014.1 will not open the html files from my business catalyst site

    I just imported my business catalyst site (originally built with Muse) into dreamweaver.  the whole site downloaded as expected and dreamweaver maintains that the 2 folders have the same files.  When I click to open any file in Dreamweaver it appears to open and then close the file immediately giving no indication of a problem. 
    Anyone come across this and or have any idea what could be happening?  I can open these files in Text Wrangler.
    I have followed the steps of deleting preferences etc that I have come across in my search today.  None of those helped. 
    Files from other sites seem to be opening fine.
    Thank you.

    The only files I am encountering this issue with are the ones I downloaded from BC into a brand new folder.  Further, any new files that I create in Dreamweaver and then save to the local root folder of the site I downloaded from BC will no longer open after I close them.  I can open all of the files I downloaded from BC in text wrangler with no problem.  I have about 10 other sites I am having no issues with what so ever.
    I am considering this an isolated issue between Dreamweaver and the folder that I imported my BC site to as I have never had any other issue with using Dreamweaver. 
    But to answer your questions:
    1.  no
    2.  no issue
    3.  yes, no issue.
    4.  yes.  all of them.
    5.  not doing this one. 

  • FireFox 33.1 will not display the PDF file from Bank online site after 33.1

    I asked this question in an unrelated support ticket so I want to give more detail here. I have tried uninstalling Adobe reader and reinstalling it and it did not help. This was working before with all the exact same addins I had before. I called the Bank and asked if they had any problems and they say no. I can go to the Firefox PDF display for this file and click on download the PDF then double click it in Windows explorer and Adobe reader comes up and displays the file just fine. Don't mind doing that for now. What happens is the bank loads the file then Adobe reader displays with a white screen and a little circle going round and round, like a video is trying to play, and it just sits there forever. I never see the file contents. Anyway I hope your have a good of a day as I am and I know it get better. Thanks Firefox programmers for such a wonderful program.
    Update: While I was writing this I remembered to go into Firefox options, then Applications, and wouldn't you know it, a PDF document was set to "Preview in Firefox". I changed that to Adobe reader and now it works just fine. Guess there's something wrong with the Preview code in Firefox. So I'm happy now. Hope this helps someone.

    Yes, the built-in PDF viewer is a work in progress. Glad you found a workaround, or got back to your preferred configuration, depending on how you look at it.

    All of sudden apple tv will not play my tv shows/movies on itunes.  It says "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies.
    Can anyone help  I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
    Not sure why this has just started happening.  have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error... 
    THanks

    Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.

  • IMac will not play the DVD that I have made on imovie and burned on iMac SuperDrive  ?? (DVD plays fine on household DVD player and also play fine in Toshiba laptop ) Why not on the iMac - anyone know???

    iMac will not play the DVD that I have made on imovie and burned on iMac SuperDrive  ?? (DVD plays fine on household DVD player and also plays fine on Toshiba laptop ) Why not on the iMac - anyone know???

    There are many reasons this could be the case but whether an optical disc can be read or not is a function of:
    The reflective media layer of the disc
    Whether the burned disc was a DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW
    The brand, model, and production lot of the disc
    The specific frequency of the Write lasers that burned the disc
    The specific frequency of the Read lasers that are attempting to read the disc
    Are the Read lasers in the drive working (it is common for one set of lasers in a drive to fail while others continue to work)
    How old are the Write and Read drives (laser frequencies change with age)
    Is there dust on the read laser
    Is there dust on the read lens
    etc.
    At one time it was estimated that fewer than 80% of all burned discs were readable in 90% of the drives. That has, I believe improved over time but at the same time it seems the faillure rate of lasers in the drives has increased but that may simply be the result of how many different read and write lasers there are in today's superdrives. Fortunately todays drives are a lot less expensive the replace -- now that Apple no longer installs optical drives in their computers.

    ATV will play movie extras and all other content. Put will not play the movie it self! iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later. Shows up every time!

    Did you activate home sharing in both your iTunes and ATV?
    Also try signing out of the ATV (Apple ID) and signing back in again.

  • TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

    Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.
    I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

    Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
    In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
    Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

  • My iphone will not play the music i have downloaded. can you help?

    My iphone will not play the music I purchased and downloaded. Can you help?

    That may be a problem related to network settings on your computer, or on the router that you use for connecting to the Internet.  Take a look at this article for a possible solution
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Since this actually a problem with using iTunes, and not directly related to an iPod (or an iPad), you may also want to ask your question in the appropriate iTunes forum category
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes
    The specific problem is that you cannot connect to the iTunes Store when using the iTunes app, even through your computer has Internet access.

  • I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes.  It just stops and can't go any further.  How do I fix this?

    I downloaded a show on itunes and it will not play the last 15 minutes.  It just stops and will not go any further.  What can I do?  I am using a pc.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store. 
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
