Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Mac Mini Remote

Yes, you are correct. I have ripped some of my favorite movies on my Mac mini. I then put them on the iMac in hubby's room via the automatically add to iTunes folder on the iMac from my computer. The DVD's then go back into storage. We've run movies from the iMac through our ATV for a long time.

A, so while the ATV does not accept attachable hard drives , you can connect it to a Mac, and it will play what on the Mac (and attached to Mac) ?

There is only one ethernet port which I would have to use to my Airport Extreme

Remote app for ATV works great. I'm using a 2010 iMac with a 4T HD hooked to it. Home Share is turned on. I can access all my movies through the computer option on the ATV.

Yes, I have a 2013 rMBP, as I think you do also

That does seem to be a good solution, I will bone up on that at lunch which is shortly. My rMBP lives on my coffee table, it would make a great remote, although be handy/handier if my iPhone could also be used? I have an Apple TV in the mix as well

What I am pondering, is getting all my SVOD onto one device, perhaps a Mac Mini.

I haven't done this, but you should be able to temporarily connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, and set it up for "Back to my Mac" so it can then be operated remotely from your Macbook Pro (do I remember that correctly)?
