If I wanted to buy an Apple TV and use an external hard drive with iTunes, how would this work? I want all my iTunes music to stay on my Macbook, but to store all video on my external, and stream it to the Apple TV. Is this possible? Thanks!

How would I go about adding the movies to iTunes, while they stay on the external drive?
Also, would it work fine with two Macbooks streaming? My sister has one, and she would stream more than I.
So then when adding music I would need to manually move it to the Music folder?

I have this setup, movies on external drive music on MacBook pro. It's a bit tedious to manage if you are adding content not from Apple. For my movies I manually copy them to external drive and then add them to iTunes, making sure to uncheck the box for keeping library organized. Music is less work if it comes from iTunes or even Amazon since these will download to the computer and get added straight to iTunes. So unless you're pulling music from a disc or something you should be ok, just watch where it goes and move it if necessary.
