Family sharing - Stream movies to idevice instead of downloading?
HI!
i Just set up Family Sharing.
All good in apps, but have this annoying thing with movies:
in the past, with my kid's ipad, I used to have my own iTunes account on it so, when going to the Video app, all my movies purchases where ready to stream directly to the device.
Now with Family Sharing, on my kid's iPad, no movies are available for streaming. I (he) need(s) to go to purchased items on iTunes app, choose my profile, then select movies and yes, he's able to DOWNLOAD it to tjhe ipad, but not stream it.
The fact is that this is less comfortable than the previous situation, as he's not able to directly stream them, which is a pity...
I do have eitherway an iTunes 'server' with the old Home Sharing setup, and yes, he's able to get them from the 'shared' tab of the Videos app, but he was already able to do so in the past.
Also, home sharing only works at home, as it needs to get the media from the iTunes library which has Home Sharing enabled, so it's useless (as it was) outside home.
Now, the new Family Sharing is intersting, but I'm annoyed I read on Apple's website that, upon getting to any other member's itunes items, the rest would be able to DOWNLOAD OR PLAY the items.
(See here;
Either taht info was wrong, or there's something wrong in my case, or the feature is not working for some other reason.
Any ideas?
