Using home sharing, can I view (stream) TS folders?

Using home sharing, can I view (stream) TS folders as I would with DVD Player? Must they be be converted to smaller H264 first (don't want to...too many, takes too long)?  Does it place more demand to stream TS folders on the WiFi that iTV is hooked up to, as opposed to the smaller file size h264?  Can it be done at all?
It is the deciding point for me in purchasing iTV.
Thanks!

No, all content needs to be in Mpeg4 format and in your iTunes library.

I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • Multiple users, devices & Apple IDs in the house. Can we, and how would we, use Home Sharing?

    We have three users in the house, each with their own Apple ID, using multiple mac/PC devices.  Can we and how would we use Home Sharing to share music, apps, etc? 

    Do you have a computer. You can't share music or apps from one mobile device to another. To share photos you need to use photo stream shared albums.

  • How can I use home sharing between our iphones (create playlists from both accounts at once)

    How can I use home sharing between our iphones, so that we can create playlists with songs from both of our libraries?  We share a Macbook Pro (separate accounts) and each have the new iphone, but when I have my iphone and try to create a new playlist, I can only grab songs from one account.  Is there a way to create a playlist using both accounts since we are sharing?
    Does it have to be created within iTunes first on our Mac?

    The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
    The longer answer:  Think of it like this...
    You download some music in iTunes.  With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network.  But the data itself is on your computer.  If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
    But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device.  Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple). 
    When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

  • How can I share the music on my ipad with my imac using home sharing?

    I’ve been trying to share the music on my ipad with my imac. I've set my apple ID account on both of them but I can't get any of the songs I purchased on my ipad to my imac. Even though, when I click my albums it shares the music on my imac to  my ipad. the reason why I couldn't do this before was that I had recently purchased my ipad and created a new account that was different from the account on my imac. so can I use home sharing on itunes with my ipad and imac? and if not then how else could I share the music on my ipad to the itunes on my imac?

    iOS: Setting up Home Sharing on your device - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4557 - "With Home Sharing in iOS 4.3 or later, you can stream your entire iTunes library over your home Wi-Fi network from your Mac or PC right to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch."
    The above makes it sound like it is one way, computer to mobile device.  Perhaps something below says differently.

  • Can i use home sharing while mixing wired and wireless connections?

    I have an HP Pavilion desktop connected to my wireless router with an Ethernet cable.  My AppleTV is connected wirelessly to the 5GHz band on my simultaneous dual-band wireless-N router.  How do I share photos and music from the HP desktop to the AppleTV using Home Sharing?

    I have a similar problem.
    I have 2 computers (and other ethernet addressable devices (printer etc) upstairs connected into a gigabit switch (d-link DG-2205) - computer A is an old 2002 G4 without wifi, computer B is a 2010 Mac mini wired into the switch. Downstairs, I have Computer C - a 2012 Mac mini connected to the fios router via wifi and there is a 1080p Apple TV connected via wifi.
    Computer A (Wired switch Connection) can only see computer B's (Wired switch Connection) music library.
    Computer B (Wired switch Connection) can see both computer A's and computer C's (Wireless router connection) Music library.
    Computer C (Wireless router connection)) can see computer B's (Wired switch Connection) music library.
    Apple TV can see computer B and C.
    The problem is that computer A Is the music computer That I want to stream throughout.
    If computer A and B can see each other, and computer C and AppleTV can see computer B, then why can't everyone see computer A ?
    Any response appreciated.
    What version of iTunes is the Computer A running - it may not support Home Sharing.

  • Can't transfer content using Home Sharing

    I have two home computers. I've opened home sharing on both computers and it's turned on in both. I can view the files on both computers, but I'm not able to transfer files from one computers library to the other.
    I've read several articles on how to use home sharing and I believe i've done everything correctly.
    Anyone have an idea what it could be?
    TIA

    have you seen this support article ?

    Hi,
    I tried everythink, but same as before!
    - droppings ot the main screen
    - loosing Home Share
    now even on iPads !
    Frustrating!
    I'm now more than convinced that this is caused by the latest iTunes version.
    As some others stated in other threads .... it seems that Apple doesn't really take care of this problem. So what if, if we could make them feeling the same pain as we do. ... Just by dropping them a mail as soon as we have the problem again. Not more often, we don't want to be unfair, but everytime it happens.
    I found this feedback site http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    I will start now with this.... maybe this will help to rise a little bit of attention

    This is the mailbody I always use
    Hello all,
    Since the last update to iTunes Version 10.6.1 (7) streaming content (Movies and TV shows) to Apple TVs and iPads has two major problems:
    - Home Sharing is lost during streaming (streaming stops even if a large portion of the content is already preloaded)
    - streaming stops and the main screen pops up (Home Sharing still available)
    This happens sometime after some minutes, sometimes after several hours, but it surely happens.
    I followed every advice I could found on this support website. There are now a lot of threads following this issue.
    Sometimes it seems getting better, but hours later the same isues occured again. Watching content on this enviroment is a real pain and very frustrating.
    As many others I'm now convinced that the latest update of iTunes caused this problem.
    Our family enviroment contains the following Apple products:
    - iTunes on a Win7 32 bit Noname PC (all content)
    - second iTunes on a iMac with OS 10.6.8 (all content)
    - third iTunes on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8 (daughter, only selected content)
    - fourth iTunes on a Win7 32 Samsung Notebook (son, only selected content)
    - all iTunes sharing the same Home Sharing ID
    - 2 Apple TV second generation
    - 1 Apple TV first generation
    - 2 iPod touch (bought last year)
    - 2 iPads (second generation)
    all firmware or software are on latest available patchlevel.
    At this moment, I can not recomend to others to buy this products.
    I will drop this feedback everytime my famiily and I facing this problem... just to help you to get a better feeling of the urgency of this issue.
    Thanks for every effort in advanced.

  • Can't import songs using home sharing

    Just bought a new macbook pro laptop, and I can't import my music library from my iMac using home sharing.
    The library shows up as shared, but I can't drag any music into the library on my laptop.
    Help would be greatly appreciated because I'm extremely frustrated.

    I am curious as well. I also just bought a MacBook Air to use in addition to my iMac. I just made some purchases on iTunes and homesharing only allows you to stream, not physically sync the media back and forth, which is what I want.
    This is going to be really annoying..

  • How can a family with multiple existing accounts use Home Sharing?

    I'd like to use the new Home Sharing feature, but it appears to be restricted to families in which all of the family members share a single user account.
    We already have separate accounts for each family member. Is there some way for us to use Home Sharing without abandoning most of our existing accounts, along with all of the purchases made by those accounts? I don't think anyone in this situation would be willing to do that.

    Eh. I am not too sure since I have not messed with it much but I do have a great deal of experience with multiple accounts. Each computer can be authorized for multiple accounts. As can iPods. iPods can sync songs/videos/apps from multiple accounts as long as the computer is authorized with them. What I have set up here, is I buy my stuff I want, my parents buy what they want and so do my brothers. When my bro gets something I want I just move it to my computer. That way all our accounts are separate, but if there is something I want I can get it. Also, since the music no longer has DRM, it won't matter. It will play on any computer. What you should see is if you can just do the shared library with multiple accounts. Then if you don't have videos or such, you can get apps or music. Hope this helps!
