[QUOTE="_Stormin, post: 1311325, member: 216138"] As far as I am aware, the above is entirely correct. There is no way to have the Apple TV pull movies from a hard drive, only to have it stream them from an open iTunes library. That said, it would be a fantastic feature for Apple to add to the Apple TV in the future. Giving it the ability to pull movies from Time Capsule and run them with no need for iTunes to be open would probably be a simple software fix. The Time Capsule is a router with integrated NAS, so if the Apple TV has the horsepower to run .mp4 and .mov files it shouldn't really care where they are coming from. If Apple will do it is another issue entirely... They are pretty attached to iTunes acting as the portal to all media. [/QUOTE]
