Just got the old apple tv from a friend (160gb). I am trying to wrap my head around things and wondered if you could answer a few questions.
I have been converting my son's xvid rips of his dvd's to mp4 using handbrake. From there I copy them to my NAS and then drag and drop them into iTunes (I have copy to library turned OFF). When I synch to the Apple TV are they actually copying the mp4 file from my NAS to the Apple TV? I only want it to stream from my NAS not to the Apple TV Hard Drive. How do I make sure of this? I know iTunes must be running in this scenario.
If I do actually want some movies on the 160gb drive for "offline viewing" how do I check to make sure it is on the drive? Movies does not show up under the Apple TV in iTunes.
Also iTunes never finds artwork for the movies I have not even Toy Story as I had to go to amazon and get the jpg and then add it to the Get Info screen. Any tips on that?
Thanks
