It depends what you mean by external memory.

If your library is on an external drive and that drive is connected to your computer, and your computer is sharing with Apple TV via iTunes, then yes.

If you mean can you plug the external drive holding the library into the Apple TV and have it read the Aperture library, then it's no.

Najinski,

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, it took a while to respond. Yes the lib is on an external drive that is connects dot the computer. The home sharing is on in iTunes. But when I want to select the library on the external disk it is greyed out and cannot be selected. I changed the setting on the external disk so it is a shared disk as well, but it is still impossible to select the library. Any idea what I miss?
