Apple TV recognizing music but not Movies

[Planet Telex]

I'm having no problems streaming music but can't get an .avi that I converted to .mov to stream.

The file plays in iTunes and is in my shared folder in a "Movies" folder. When I browse my movies on the atv, it says that there are no movies in my library.

Any suggestions?

Are they checked in the home sharing menu to be shared

Open iTunes. Click on "Movies". Are any showing? If not, go to your "Movie" folder on the HD and click on the ones you want to stream. They should appear in your iTunes movie folder.

Yes it appears in "movies" in iTunes and plays in iTunes.

Wonder if it is the .mov file. I have converted all of mine with HD using the apple TV preset. The output is a .M4V file. Those seem to play fine through ATV

I'll try converting it to .M4V and see if that works, but I was under the impression that anything in the iTunes library could be streamed.

I do not that that is correct, i think there are specific formats needed for ATV

Movies must be .m4v format.
