ATV2 XBMC not playing iTunes bought video
#1
Newbie alert.

Installed XBMC on ATV2 this weekend. Everything looks great, runs great, just one problem, Constant buffering and then fail on any video (movie or tv show) that had been originally purchased through the iTunes store.

Not a huge deal, as the majority of my library consists of handbrake vids that run fine, and I can always just turn on my computer and stream them as Apple meant them to be streamed, it would just be nice if there is a fix to this to lessen confusion for non-technical wife when she just wants to watch a movie?
Thanks

XBMC does not support playback of DRM'd content

see notes section here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...ats/Codecs

You can probably strip the DRM from it and then use it with XBMC. I don't personally know how to go about this with iTunes videos, but a little bit of Googling goes a long way!

You already have a ATV2, why not just use the normal interface to playback your itunes content? Leave xbmc for everything else.
