How can I watch Digital HD movies on my iPad using a portable wireless hard drive?

I would like to transfer a number of Digital HD movies received from my Blu-Ray DVD purchases and loaded into iTunes onto the Seagate Wireless Plus 2TB Portable Hard Drive with Built-In Wi-Fi and then watch them on my iPad Pro ... that way I can bring a library of movies that I would not be able to store on the limited memory of my Pro. How do I go about doing that?


Thanks

Even if you can get these videos onto the wireless Seagate drive and can access the drive from the iOS Seagate app, if they still have digital DRM on them, you might NOT be able play/stream these movies/videos by streaming from the external drive.

You may have to actually copy/transfer these movies/videos back to your iPad to play these videos.

In that event, the Seagate wireless drive only acts as a remote storage place for your video/movie collection.

There are ways to defeat the DRM code, but we cannot discuss these types of activities on the forums.


Good Luck!
