This is likely a dumb question...

Does there exist a product (or products) that are basically a hard drive that can stream to an Apple TV (or an Apple TV can pull from).

ie. So that I could just load stuff in and Apple TV will see it like an iTunes library?

Click to expand...

apple tv needs a computer running iTunes to stream any media from. there are workarounds, using plex and a NAS, but its not as simple as just buying a hard drive and hitting play.

....yes...That's why I said "basically a hard drive that can stream to an Apple TV" and not "a hard drive I can plug in to the apple tv".

Is there something that is basicly nothing more than an iTunes server?
