I feel like I've missed the boat on buying an ATV2 as I can only find the 3rd version being sold. I've already got a streaming solution, but my brother is looking for one and the ATV is super cheap so I figure it might be worth a shot. It wouldn't be much of a bother to convert all my stuff to the appropriate format so it plays through iTunes but I have a few questions: 1. Do all my video files have to be in the iTunes folder? Currently they are all in their own folder on my external drive and iTunes is installed on the internal drive. I don't have nearly enough space on my internal drive to keep all the video files on there, so I was wondering if you can point iTunes at another folder or something? 2. How does the ATV3 handle 5.1 audio? Right now I can stream it to my PS3 if I encode MP4s with Handbrake's AAC 6 channel discrete option and that works beautifully. Will the ATV be able to stream the audio? 3. Is there a program like Subler for Windows?

Modern Pragmatist posted:Apple TV doesn't handle 6-channel audio. It must be encoded as 5.1 in order to get surround sound. I was under the impression that the 6 channel option in Handbrake basically was 5.1 (6 channels with one of them being the .1) but if that isn't the case then how would I go about ripping proper 5.1 sound?

Modern Pragmatist posted:https://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/SurroundSoundGuide This works perfectly, thanks for the link! Now, can anyone tell me why my ripped videos have a garbled preview image in iTunes and on the Apple TV itself?  I know I can just put it any artwork I want to replace that, but why do they come out all crazy?
