Streaming Movies to Apple TV

I am currently able to stream movies (not purchased from iTunes but mp4 format) to my Apple TV (3rd Gen) while iTunes is running on my computer. Is it possible to stream movies to my Apple TV with my computer off? Maybe if there was a cloud drive that I could upload movies (not purchased in iTunes) to and then access them from Apple TV?

Alright Thank You, I figured that was too much to ask...

    Is it possible to stream movies with Apple TV 3 from Time capsule ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If the content on your Time Capsule is in iTunes on your computer, then yes you can do that.

  • HT4437 streaming .mov to apple-tv via airplay

    Hi,
    I would like to stream a streaming .mov movie via airplay to my Apple TV3 box.
    how can I do that, since I cannot place the movie-file into iTunes as suggested in support forums.
    (streaming movie URL = http://hstreaming.zdf.de/zdf/veryhigh/130107_teilzwei_fs_adl.mov )
    if iTunes allowed my to identify the movie via URL, that would probably help, but I havent found any method like that.
    thank you for hints and help!

    Hello mirko,
    If you are still experiencing streaming issues to your Apple TV from your MacBook, I would use these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
    iTunes: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    Wi-Fi Connection
    If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
    Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
    Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
    Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
    If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
    Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
    Ethernet Connection
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.

  • Can't stream movies to Apple TV on an external hard drive!

    Hi!
    Is there anyone who has successfully streamed an
    linked/referenze movie on an external drive to Apple-TV?
    I can play the movie (from an external drive) in iTunes but can't see the movie in Apple TV!?
    thx

    yes, there's nothing like that in the Windows world.
    I think QT Pro for windows might do that
    Can you save multiple reference files? Sort of like an editing history?
    I suppose you could do that with them
    I'm guessing this guy will need to somehow commit the changes to the movie to get this to work then.
    Actually I believe Mr Lee has posted about this before and I think I told him I don't think this will work over the tv, he may only be looking for a second opinion.

  • Can i stream movies to apple tv directly

    Can you stream movies from the time capsule directly to the apple tv?

    No the TC is not a media player or server. The Apple TV if you have a Gen 1 or Gen 2 can play files... but you will need to jail break it... ie load 3rd party firmware. ATV 3 has so far resisted all attempts to hack.

  • HT1551 itunes account sign-in failed when trying to stream movie on apple tv

    I am trying to stream a movie on apple tv and when I try to rent it a message comes up saying "account sign-in failed" itunes is unavailable.  What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Hello Geneber,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you have already redeemed your iTunes Store gift card, then the balance should be able to be viewed on your iTunes Store account.  As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID on your Apple TV, the purchase on the Apple TV will be deducted from your credit balance.

    Take care,

  • Streaming movies via Apple TV

    I have the Turner Classic Movies app loaded on my iPad Air. Is it possible to stream movies from the TCM app running on my iPad to my HDTV using an Apple  TV device?

    Hi - I am having no luck with TCM... I want to use 'watch TCM' app and mirror from my iPod to a larger TV. Everything else works (like browsing web, other apps, etc.) - but 'watch TCM' just gives me a blank screen on the TV - rather than mirroring what's on my iPod.
    Can U tell me TCM is not compatible with airplay/ipod to Apple TV? If some providers block (not sure why) is  there a work around?
    Thank you!

  • Having trouble streaming movies on apple tv

    When I purchase a movie from ITUNES to stream using my Apple TV it starts streaming and then it stops. In watching a 2 hour movie it could take 4 hours because of these interuptions.

    I assume the rental is made on the AppleTV.
    AppleTV calculates the average internet speed and plays when enough has downloaded to play through.
    If this fails then teh average speed has probably dropped - either other devices in teh home using the internet and sharing overall bandwidth or your ISPs speed dropping off.

    Is it just some content that you have problems with or all, what about iTunes store purchases from your iTunes library.

  • How do I stream movies to Apple TV?

    I just got a aTV 1stgen from a friend and started to sync it with some of our movies, but I don't want to have to wait for everything to sync to it (not sure everything would fit).  I thought you could stream content from your computer too.  However, anything that isn't synced doesn't show up.  I looked through the manuel and the forums and I cannot find an answer.  How do I get this to work?

    odd my movies showed up when I started the sync
    and when I played them they would stream until they were on the hd on the atv
    but atv don't play that many formats of video so if you got material in your itunes
    it can't play it will never be able to do so even when the sync is don

  • Netflix stopped streaming movies on Apple TV but still works on PS3

    My Apple TV has stopped playing movies/shows from Netflix. I am able to see the movies available, but when I hit play, it just refreshes the same screen. I checked the software update and it says it's up to date. Movies do play on my PS3, but I prefer the user interface of Apple TV. Any thoughts?

    had exact same problem.  unplugging apple tv reset it n fixed it.  did u try that?

  • No audio streaming movies with iTunes 10.2.1 and iOS 4.3

    I upgrade to iTunes 10.2.1 and to iOS 4.3 and now I can´t listen audio on my movies with 6 channels audio. With two channels (stereo) there is no problem. With multichannel I just can see the video, but can´t listen. The problem is with my iPad and my Apple TV. On my iMac it works fine, I can see and listen.
    Anybody Help ??

    I have the similar problem with video. I can not stream movies to apple tv after ios 4.3 update that i used to stream before. The problem seems to be for some (but a lot) specific movies though. After going through all my videos i found a couple of videos that was able yo be streamed. Even with movies that can't be streamed the video loads (and even plays on fast forward but very slow without audio) but just pauses. It just loads opens and everything but just doesn't play.I don't have any problem with streaming audio from ipod or etc. I can still stream video from youtube as well but just can't do it from my itunes.
    Just to be specific, i have the issue with my ipad as well. The movies that i can stream to atv can be streamed to ipad as well (from my pc windows) but for other movies neither my atv nor ipad can play. A clear **** up by the developers. Just can't understand how they can release without even checking possible flaws.

  • When I watch a streamed movie through my Apple TV re netflix I usually lose viewing. It tells me it their is not internet contact. I am not sure why and what to do.! Help !

    I lose connection while watching a streamed movie. The mesage on my TV says I am not connected to the interent. This usually happens about 30 minutes into the movie. I use Apple TV. Can you suggest what to do to prevent this problem?

    I assume you'reon wi-fi - presumably connection with the router is being lost for some reason - can you connect via ethernet to test if that's more stable?
