Use .srt file for subtitles-less video bought in iTunes store

Context:
- I bought a TV episode on the iTunes store, but unfortunately, unlike most TV shows on the store, it doesn't come with subtitles.
- However, I've found an .srt file with the subtitles for said episode.
Question: how can I get to play the video file with the .srt subtitles file?
What I've tried:
- iTunes doesn't seem to "recognize" the .srt file and display the subtitles it contains
- I can't get VLC to play the video (I gather VLC can't play DRM-protected M4V files)
Any ideas?

I want to add subtitles (srt files) to my movies .... - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3323061
I don't have any iTunes Store movies. Will they play in Quicktime? If they will here is an old post from 2010:
IAddSubs - http://www.btobits.de/btobits/iAddSubs.html - play subtitles file while movie is playing in iTunes
You'll have to rely upon the subtitle being in sync with the particular video you have.

Itunes sound stops working after 20 mins on videos bought from iTunes store.

On every video i've bought from the iTunes store the sound cuts out after approx 20 mins. I'm on windows 8.0 (completely up-to-date with all drivers up-to-date too) with the latest iTunes (11.1.3.8) and Quicktime (with enhancements switched off). PC is a quad core i7 with 16GB of memory with windows running on an SSD and my iTunes content on another internal HD (not an SSD). iTunes library is approx 24000 songs and 30 videos. i'm watching on a full HD monitor with external speakers and the PC is authorised to play iTunes content.
I've worked my way through all the iTunes support items around video chopping (which was happening too - now fixed) and audio issues but nothing helps e.g. I've switched off iTunes match and home sharing, switched off any audio enhancements in iTunes and my sound card (which is a Via chipset on my motherboard), switched the bit rate to 16 bit/44.1k on windows and itunes, uninstalled and re-installed iTunes etc, etc.
I did have an Apple TV on my network but I've disconnected it in case the sound was being routed to it after a period of time. This hasn't made any difference.
Has anyone had this issue and managed to fix it?
Thanks

Myself as well, have been having this same problem, around 20 minutes into any movie I open up in my itunes library, the sound stops playing. I have yet to find any fix for the problem, although I have a thought that it is probably something to do with the buffering. My songs play just fine, all day long, but any movie only plays for 20 minutes and then the sound goes out. Additionally, I had another issue that kept popping up an error message everytime I tried to open Itunes, this was finally fixed via copy paste a corruptted (spelling) .dll file. The only "workaround" for this issue, that I have found, is to open the movie in QuickTime, even though I am not really excited about the QuickTime player. If anyone finds a better solution, please drop a line. thank you in advance.

ITunes won't play video bought through iTunes Store

A little while ago my computer died. I had backed up my itunes files individually, and when I recieved my new computer I dragged the files into the library. The songs work perfectly, but the TV shows which I purchased from iTunes Store will not play whatsoever, even though they are in the library.
When I try to drag them onto my itouch, I get the message, "Title" was not copied to iPod because it cannot be played on this iPod. A couple, but not all of the videos, will crash itunes when I try to play them. At one point I tried 'Create an iPod or iPhone version', but when I did I would first get a message saying 'This application can not be used to play this content. In order to play this content, please open it with iTunes.' and then the message 'Error occurred while converting the file. An unknown error occurred (-50). I also have tried deauthorizing and then authorizing my computer, but it did not work.
Any ideas?

Option to always use sidecar files for XMP

Lightroom gives you the option to write metadata to XMP files, which is convenient if you want to share data with other programs (ACR, various DAM programs). In the beta versions, this data would always be stored in .XMP sidecar files, presumably for safety reasons. However, V1 writes the XMP data into the image file itself for those formats that support it (DNG, JPG, TIFF).
I would really like to have the option to *force* Lightroom to use sidecar files for XMP data, like the betas did. The current V1 behavior (embedding data) is quite inefficient for fairly common backup scenarios.
For example, I tend to back up all my raw files onto DVD after importing and culling. In addition I make a daily backup of all metadata that gets sent over the internet to a web server - a relatively small upload. What happens if I use DNG for my raw files and update something as small as a keyword? Indeed, *all* of the corresponding DNG files are modified, and because my backup software cannot know that only the XMP data has changed, all files must be burned to DVD again. If the metadata were stored in sidecar files, a simple, efficient metadata backup would take care of things.
To implement this, a simple switch in the preferences would suffice, and the necessary code is already there. The only possible problem is the occurrence of two files with identical names, excluding the extension. For this case, I can see four different 'solutions':
1) Force XMP metadata to be synchronized between files with equal names
2) Make an .XMP sidecar file for only one of the files (always the raw file, for example)
3) Update the XMP specification to specify what should be done in this situation (maybe include the file extension in the XMP data)
Reards,
Simon

Actually, I don't (notice the 'if' :)). And this is only one of the reasons. I just picked DNG as an example, to keep things simple and because it seems Adobe wants DNG to work well for photographers.
However, the same applies to JPG and TIFF images. I often end up changing details in the metadata after the image has been finished. For example, to correct the spelling in a keyword that has been applied to half the images in my database... Talking about a nightmare scenario!

After installing the latest of iTunes the original files for almost 300 songs cannot be found for syncing to my iPod. The files are songs that were bought from iTunes, and copied into iTunes from CDs.

After installing the latest of iTunes the original files for almost 300 songs cannot be found for syncing to my iPod. The files are songs that were bought from iTunes, and copied into iTunes from CDs.

Apparently, security programs like Macafee and Norton view Itunes updates as new programs and block then from access. If you add Itunes to the list of exemptions, it solves the problem.

Using NFS file for ASM

hello to all
I am familar with ASM and NFS but I don't know what is mean of using NFS file for ASM
can you explain for me ? or do you know manual for this on WEB ?
thanks

I don't think ASM via NFS is optimal.
You need to create your NFS mounts. Then use dd to create files in your various NFS mounts and then present these files to ASM as disks.

Help please, pages is now asking for registration which i bought from iTunes Jan '11

I have been using pages since Jan 2011 which I bought from iTunes as a paid download, not a trial version.
I dont have a serial number, (Ive checked on the invoice) to put in and I dont want to pay again. Just weird that all of a sudden it should bring this message up.

MIss,
I think you probably purchased from the Mac App Store application in Lion, not the iTunes store which never sold the OS X verion of iWork apps. And, probably not from the Apple Online Store, which only sold the registration number which was to be applied to the Trial Download, otherwise you would have the number.
My guess is that you have somehow come across an old Trial version of iWork and it is, of course, past it's valid trial dates. In the Mac App Store you can look at you Purchases tab and see if Pages is listed. If so, you're in good standing as far as ownership goes and you just need to get rid of the trial. Yvan Koenig has written a Script to clear the Trial of iWork from your computer. You can download it here.
After running the script, reinstall Pages from the Mac App Store.

HT1386 i can't sync some selected movies i bought in iTunes store. any reason for this please/

I can't sync some selected movies i bought in iTunes store. Any reason for this and help please?

I assume they are, but I am not completely certain. I purchased the songs from iTunes, so I would be surprised if they are in a format that is not playable by the Touch.
How do I check whether the format is playable?
Thanks,

Can you search for videos in the iTunes store?

When I go to the music videos section of the iTunes store, it looks like I can only search through a long list. Is there any way to search for a specific music video in the iTunes Store?

Hi and welcome.....
Select iTunes music store on the left side of the iTunes window. You will see a search field.
Type in the name of the music video there, then press Return or Enter on your keyboard.

There is a few events where I could see this happening...
It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.
