Okay, you know the bit where I can torrent something, throw it at iSquint, add it to iTunes, and then watch it through Apple TV?
FUCKING GREAT.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It converts the xvid format of the torrent into mp4, which is iTunes-friendly.

oh, right. I have a program that does that for tivo files. I will keep isquint in mind for torrents.

I could do the hack to add xvid to the Apple TV (just named her Lilith), but I'm going to go with this for now.

Yeah, I have my Tivo rigged so that I can pull all my stuff off of it and it gets transcoded for iPhone, iPod, and Apple TV.
Man did I ever drink the Kool-Aid.

I've named my iPhone Capt. Jack.

I'm almost there, but now my main PC isn't talking to the Apple TV. Not an urgent issue, since Lilith grabbed all of Zoe's content back when they were on speaking terms, but it does bother me.
I don't have a Devices section in that left hand pane of iTunes, and when I go to the Apple TV tab of preferences, it doesn't list it.
However the laptop (OS X) sees it fine, after not having been able to. I wonder if it's a wired/wireless thing...but that doesn't make sense.
I need to get a switch for the living room and was wondering--what non-Apple products duplicate the Airport's ability to share an external hard drive?

well, of course.
I decided on Capt. Jack because it's sleek, sexy, makes me happy and fulfills my needs. Just like Capt. Jack would. *sigh*
