2022 setting up external hard drive for movies, tv shows, and music for a MacBook Air on the Apple TV APP.
Okay I have a 2015 macbook air 4gb ram 128gb internal hard drive space. I set up both my iTunes and apple tv app to download all movies, tv shows, and music to my external hard drive 8TB. I own/purchsased 2TB of entertainment it took me a whole week to download everything and I made sure they would play from my external hard drive too. My issue that I have yet again is the APPLE TV APP will sometimes let me play the shows and sometimes it will not. So I remove my download show Then the APPLE TV APP will allow me to play it, I've already went into setting and told the app to go through my external hard drive so sometimes it works and a lot of the time it doesn't. It just has the colored Death wheel that spins and spins and spins. Does anyone know how to correct this issue that I am having. Now if I remove the download and play the movie when I have an internet connection it will play. But I would like to play my shows and music without an internet connections, is their anyone that can make a new detail video of how to set this up correctly where everything works well in harmony with no issues. I've seen so many videos from 3 to 13 years ago and they all worked well but it's 2022 and things aren't working so well with this Apple TV app. Thanks if anyone answers with a detailed how to video for 2022. Peace
