Downloaded movies appear in Apple TV the app but not on Apple TV the device
I have been downloading my purchased iTunes movies to my Mac in order to watch on my Apple TV (device) rather than stream. Some of the movies download in HLS Video rather than MPEG-4 Movie. As a result these movies will not show up in my Apple TV (device) library list. They do show up in my Apple TV (the app) and will play.
How can I make the movies download as MPEG-4 or at least make the HLS format play on the Apple TV (device)?
By the way pet peeve, Apple naming a device, an app, and a service Apple TV really really hoses google searches. Just saying.
