#Servetome not working movie
to play a movie file that is not supported, could I stream the movie with StreamToMe on my Mac Pro > ServeToMe on iPad > AppleTV > HomeTheater/TV? ServeToMe will serve most file formats (even. If not, I have a streaming program called StreamToMe on my iPad with it's companion server software: ServeToMe on my Mac Pro. You can however use a utility like Handbrake to convert unencrypted video to AppleTV format, or use itunes if itunes plays it (right click and convert) though that can be slower and tie up iTunes.

AppleTV won't play them or MKVs,VOB, ISO etc. avi files example?ĪVIs are container formats with variable encoding possibilities. what movie formats will AppleTV? Like will it support. Now for the downside - for video it primarily plays h264 encoded video.Īnd. Yes, provided the video is AppleTV compatible - you enable Home Sharing in itunes, same on AppleTV and under the Computers icon you can then select your Mac Pro itunes library, and view the categories of media on screen, select and play.

In that set up, will I be able to access the content files (movies and music in my Mac Pro iTunes Library) with the AppleTV and be able to see all the titles even on my TV screen? If I get an AppleTV I'll plug it into the LAN too and then to my Home Theater via HDMI. The client side app is called StreamToMe.My Mac Pro is in my network via ethernet. The ServeToMe gives me local and remote streaming direct to client devices: iPhone, iPads, etc. So iTunes provides the local system for sharing (homeshare and bonjour) to home media nodes: Apple TVs, computers, airport expreses. It let's me stream the iTunes library independent of iTunes, and I use it for client side access to stream my home library to iOS devices, locally in the house and even remotely over the internet. In addition to sharing from iTunes, I also use a second service to stream media, ServeToMe. I recommend "Mocha VNC", it works well with the MacOS screen sharing protocol, been using it since the dawn of the iPad. No more booting other computers to screen share into the mini. This one works well for me: Īt least to simplify maintenance access, get a VNC app for your iPad. It causes the accelerated graphics to initiate, improves overall graphics and screen sharing performance. If not already doing so, use a headless plug in the HDMI port. What sort of errors? What sort of reoccurring events? Tracing those isssues may hopefully mitigate the problems that keep causing the interruptions. I can only wonder as to the types of errors and events generating the interruptions. I can't even recall the last time it was down, it's been a while. With maybe 3 to 4 incidents a year requiring intervention to restore the service. I also use the remote app and route output via airplay. That's unfortunate you are having those issues, I'm running the same setup, 2012 mini on the latest macOS, and experience 99% or better uptime of my iTunes sharing. Am still getting calendar updates there so I must have missed something, but they don't have any effect on iTunes sharing. I did have to spend more time turning things off on El Capitan than I did on Mavericks.
#Servetome not working 720p
I used my ancient 12 year old 720p Samsung LCD TV on the 2012 machine, the new mini has a cheap new Samsung 720p LCD TV. Now the only difference here is that mine has a "head". My experience has been the same with this machine, it is very stable with even longer uptimes than the 2012.

I wanted to use the 2012 Mini for something else, so last summer I replaced it with a base 2014 mini (1.4ghz/4gb/500gb HD) that had El Capitan pre-installed. I don't ever recall a dialog box causing iTunes to stop sharing. So I consider that very robust, it probably needed restarting 4 or 5 times per year.

After several months uptime there would usually be some odd glitch, but a restart always fixed it. It was set to never sleep and never spin down the external drive. I used the original Mavericks and whatever version of iTunes was pre-installed the whole time.

I used a 2012 base mini (2.5ghz/4gb/500gb HD) with my library on a 3tb external USB 3.0 disk as an iTunes server for two and a half years.
