M4V in native Apple-player

Hi there,

 

I’ve just discoverede Requiem (wll - not just now but now is when I get it working with my Windows/iTunes-installation). So I have stripped my iTunes purchased movies (no more DRM thank you very much), and now I want to put 'em back to my Apple TV. I just realised that some of the movies hasn’t been synced to my Apple TV. And then I started wondering if it was possible to transfer them to /mnt/Media/Purchased Files/ using winscp (of course its possible to transfer them but to use them with Apple TVs native player). And so I did. And as expected it doesn’t seems to work. At least not the playback. I get the movie info showing, although the cover art is not there. When I hit play, it says that no content was found.

So my question is: is it possible to add movies to the native Apple TV-player if just file format is m4v? Are there and exceptions and grey zones I should know of before starting to go down this road by testing…?

Unfortunately not. The only way to get videos to appear in the normal Apple TV menus (Movies, TV Shows, etc…) is to sync or stream them through iTunes. Sorry.
