Viewing movies stored on AppletTV through iTunes

robertp42 · Dec 22, 2008, 09:24 AM

Hi all

Is there a way to view movies that are stored on my AppleTV from a computer on my network through iTunes? I can view movies stored on the other computers but not the other way around...? Ideas?

Thanks,
Robert

Can you not Transfer your purchases from the

TV to your Computer? or is the Purchase already Saved in you Library?

It is already stored on the AppleTV - not sure how I'd transfer it? That could work I suppose but really I was hoping I was just doing something daft and that I could make the ATV behave like all the other iTunes apps on our network. My flatmates and I constantly stream TV episodes and music off each other's iTunes but can't off things we buy from the ATV.

TV purchases don't end up in your iTunes? I've always brought off my computer so this has never happened to me. If I purchased, not rented, a movie via my

TV can't I load it on to my iTunes library?

It should if you do a manual sync care of itunes.
