Can you play iTunes content on your Mac on AppleTV?
I've read a few posts and a manual and I just want to be 100% sure I'm not confusing iTunes on my iPad with iTunes the application and it's Library.
My Mac Pro is in my network via ethernet. If I get an AppleTV I'll plug it into the LAN too and then to my Home Theater via HDMI.
In that set up, will I be able to access the content files (movies and music in my Mac Pro iTunes Library) with the AppleTV and be able to see all the titles even on my TV screen?
And.. lastly.. what movie formats will AppleTV? Like will it support .avi files example?
If not, I have a streaming program called StreamToMe on my iPad with it's companion server software: ServeToMe on my Mac Pro. ServeToMe will serve most file formats (even .avi) to my iPad no problem.
So... to play a movie file that is not supported, could I stream the movie with StreamToMe on my Mac Pro > ServeToMe on iPad > AppleTV > HomeTheater/TV?
