OT: Apple TV tech support question...

[missouridawg]

So I downloaded the first 8 episodes of season 5 of breaking bad onto my ipad. I caved in and bought appleTV today and I'm trying to get the videos to play. I have the system set up to where everything is working fine, but when I try to play the TV show, it tells me it'll be "ready to play in 37 minutes" as if it's downloading all over again. Am I going to have to re-download everything to watch it?

Mine has done this before

Sometimes I just have to go out of iTunes and back in, and eventually it works. Go to Netflix, then come back. I can't really explain why, though mine hasn't done it in a while now. At some point it will just say "ready to play" regardless.

Alternatively, you could just airplay them from your iPad to the Apple TV.
