ATV as a kiosk display?

[Maury]

Is there any easy way to lock the ATV into playing a series of videos and repeating them?

If the new ATV does come out I'll likely buy it, and if possible, use mu existing one as a display in the office.

I don't have a aTV, but is it possible to combine all the videos into one long one, and then have that video loop? And to lock it in place, you could put the remote in your pocket.

if you pair the TV to the remote, then no other remote will work but that one, I would also set up you iphone as a back up remote.

I do not know if there is a loop option for movies on TV.

I know in quicktime you can create kiosk type displays, using Keynotes and saving it to quicktime.

You can use ATVFiles. I think there is an option to create a playlist.

Set the "Media Kind" for the files as Music Video in iTunes under Get Info. Sync the files to the AppleTV. Once started Music Video files will repeat indefinitely. There may be another option in AppleTV Settings to ensure the files repeat.

I think the music video idea will work because you can put the video on repeat.

Perfect, thanks!
