What do you mean “local video”?

  • The Apple TV box is able to connect to a networked computer and access the Apple Home Sharing library there, which may include your own videos. This would use the Computers app on the Apple TV box, not the Apple TV app.
  • You may stream using AirPlay from compatible devices to the Apple TV box (and thus to your TV). These streams may originate from iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
  • Other local video streaming protocols may be possible through third party apps.
