Hi all,
I'm just about to go and purchase Apple TV 3...but before doing so, I wanted to get all my movies and TV Shows in a respectable format so I didn't have to muck around with this after purchasing ATV.
Firstly, I've converted all my files to MP4 via Handbrake. Secondly, I had absolutely no metadata or coverart for any of my movies/shows. So I downloaded PLEX Media Manager and uploaded all my files to this. PLEX is quite fiddly but once it's all setup, it's quite easy to use and the layout looks very nice. Anyway, all of my movies/shows now appear in PLEX with all cover art and metadata (cast, year, tagline, synopsis, rating etc).
Now, my question is, I want to put all these files into iTunes so it's ready to go for Apple TV. Will all the cover art and metadata (which PLEX has added) automatically come across into iTunes? Do I just drag the files from my folder into iTunes? I spent so much time getting Plex look nice and just assumed that everything would come across into iTunes. I probably should have asked this question before starting!
I will try a file tonight...I'm just at work and wondering if anyone can fill me in.
Thanks
