I have tried for about a month now to be able to have my new external hard drive to work with my apple tv. all I want to do is transfer all movies, music and tv shows from my apple tv to the external so I can save space on my mac mini.
While your Apple TV box doesn’t support external disks,
your Mac does support having its media library (e.g. for the TV app) on an external disk, including for Home Sharing to Apple TV box via the home network.
Please confirm if that is what you wanted.
You can’t do that.
