Let's start with the easiest trick to turn the Apple TV into a media monster: extending the storage capacity
-
Put all your content (all that will fit anyway) on the removable drive.
-
drag all that content into iTunes.
-
before you drag the media press the option key. iTunes will add the music/movies/TV shows to your library but not copy the files.
-
As long as keep iTunes running your computer you can set your Apple TV to share the library. Once it is shared, all your media goes with it.
-
How well does the streaming work? Over a G network there is a very short pause, between two and three seconds, after you select a movie and the time it starts playin
-
one of the complaints about the Apple TV is that it isn't a PVR (personal video recorder)
-
grab TVShows. TVShows is a torrent tracker
-
find a long list of shows you can subscribe to
-
torrent
-
With folder actions, Automator and maybe AppleScript you can get these shows added automatically
-
But you still want DVDs on you Apple TV, right?
-
grab Handbrake and start ripping away
