What does the display look like with 'My Movies'?

I'm thinking about buying an Apple TV, not to rent movies but to stream all of my own videos to a seperate tv. I'm already doing this with my Xbox 360 with H.264 video but before people watch it they have no idea what the video is about because apart from the brief information i can give in the title, their isn't any picture, comments etc. So i was wondering if the Apple TV has any of these features for the 'My Movies' section:
-Cover Flow/Browse by Cover
-Playlists (eg. Recently Added, My Top Rated)
-Title
-Year
-Rating
-Genre
-Comments
-Actors
-Anything else
Also i was wondering if you can use the search feature for 'My Movies' rather than just rented movies?
Any one who can give me answers i would be so grateful
Thankyou

This shows the 2.0+ top level interface change and how Store content is shown.

Currently you can't use search for My Movies or My whatever, it only works in the Store. Might change, might not. Apple's business model seems to be pushing towards rentals/purchases whereas originally it was a media extender for your own or Apple purchased content before all rentals became available earlier this year in the US and last week in the UK.
They have added genres for My Movies so if you tag a movie as horror, sci-fi, drama, family holidays, westerns etc it should show as a genre.
On Mac there's a great tagger called MetaX (might be worth a look as there's a video there showing some of teh tags that can be applied) - I would not be surprised if there's something similar on the PC.

One last thing, although you've encoded your video as h264 and it plays on Xbox it will not necessarily play on AppleTV unless if fits the specs for playback found here:
http://www.apple.com/uk/appletv/specs.html
Not trying to put you off, but that could be an issue for you.
In the same way some things I've encoded for AppleTV don't work on my PS3.

What does the bios look like on a G61-336NR? Product: VU181UA#ABA

What does the bios look like on a G61-336NR? Product: VU181UA#ABA and is it removable?

Hi Juicy9097,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP G61-336NR Notebook and BIOS concerns. The BIOS is responsible for loading the operating system. Without it your computer will not work as it checks the hardware and then loads the operating system. Here is a link From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia explaining the BIOS.
Hope this explains things.
Thanks.

IPod nano: How does the display looks like during first connection with a computer?

Hallo everybody,
Today I got my brand new iPod nano. I connected it to my computer approx. 30 minutes ago.
The window in iTunes opened and I could chouse all the details. So far, so good.
But what about the display? I can only see a black and white display with the word "iPod" in the middle of the first line and a symbol of a battery on the right.
In the middle you can see a picture of part of the cable connection and beyond the Message "Connected. Eject before disconnecting".
So, when will I see the home screen or the buttons? Does anyone know? Have I done somthing wrong? Or do I have to wait until the batterie is full for the first time?
Thank you very much an greetings from Germany,
Petra

Hello thetwy,
Try the reset while the ipod is plugged into the computer. Steps here:

If that does not work, use a different usb port on your computer, and/or, try the reset on a different computer.
Hope this helps.

You have silenced the ringer. Check the little switch near the external volume controls. Orange showing indicates silent mode.

On my home computer Firefox comes up and after about 30 seconds all the words on the display look like 'cuss' words in a cartoon. I deleted Firefox and reinstalled-didn't help.

The words are mostly not readable.
I had McAfee run a scan for viruses - didn't find any.
Someone told me my bitmap was screwed up. I don't
know what that is.
The pictures look fine - you just can't read the words under them.
I have run programs like Glary that supposedly fixes various
problems with the registry and start up files - didn't help.
I have shut down the computer and restarted it several times
- didn't help.

I'm sorry.
I tried several times yesterday and to day to get a screen print of the
Firefox home page.
I even got it to print out but I couldn't get the scanner at work to
scan it. Oh well...
Any the words look like this:
!@#%^&'the !@#$%^&'top
!@#$%^&'Romney !@#$%^'retakes
Does that help at all?

What does the TV looking sysbol stand for?

I had the memory/HD/wireless cover off today to do a bit of cleaning. I see there is a space for a 2nd HD. I also noticed a space that looks like a PCIe card slot that has a picture of a TV under it? What can be put there? A TV tuner card?
Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If we are talking about Empty PCIe Slot, you can put any PCIe Device in there...it can be TV tuner, GPS, Mobile Broadband, etc... but the contrain you end up having is getting the cable routing to that card...

What does a cabinet look like?

Hey everyone this may seem like a silly question but I need to get it off my chest.
By What I understand there are 3 cabinets in my estate, 2 of which are now bt infinity enabled and the one I am on which is not. About a month ago one was done and I noticed a big BT INFINITY sign on the front, a few weeks ago another was done and the same was on that. Thinking I was next my cabinet was only painted black for some reason and looks completely different to the newer cabinets. After the 2 cabinets were done I received a letter stating I can now get bt infinity and yet the checker says no.... I'm not ever sure What a old and new cabinet looks like so any info or even better, a picture would be helpful

Why does the message "looks like spam or a virus" appear when sending a picture from my phone?

Photos sent to the printer come up with a message saying it looks like spam or a virus. Photo printed ok first time, now gives that message in the jobs listing. Emailed from an Android phone to an HP Photosmart 6510.

The "spam/virus" message often occurs because the email did not contain any text in the subject line. Please try re-sending an email to your printer and adding text in the email's subject line.

Why does the display look different in photoshop and lightroom

I am using CS4 and LR2.1. When I open the same picture in both programs the picture in CS4 looks dull and washed out. My color space in both programs is srgb (I send all my pictures to Miller's for printing). Any Idea why and what setting I should adjust.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Allen

Your color settings are not the same, or something is broken with your display profile that one application is trying to fix up (but that should give you a warning).

What does the ipod shuffle come with?

I would like to purchase an ipod shuffle – does it come with earphones & usb cord already or do I need to select these at the checkout and pay extra for them?
Many thanks
H

This is the Apple Store listing for the shuffle. See What's in the box.

NOTE: The USB cable is short. You can buy a long cable separately. The included earphones not Apple "EarPods," which can be purchased separately.

What does the Apple Store do with our old iPhones?

Question -- I have a water damaged iPhone and I am probably going to have to get it replaced at the Apple Store. It's basically bricked and won't turn on, but what happens when I swap it out? Do they try to fix the old one? Or just gut it for parts? I ask because I have private pictures and notes/passwords, etc. on there that I would worry about people having access to if they were able to get the phone working again.
Once I switch my backed up data and port my number over to the new phone, would anyone still be able to access that stuff on the old one? Or if they did get it working again, would it go back to a restored version?

I guess the real question is if the phone is recoverable, would my data still be on there? I'm worried about my pictures/notes being recovered? Or does that all port over to my new phone?
