Do I have to quit iTunes every-time I add something?

[nlivo]

I stream all my content to my appletv from my iMac. I am constantly adding movies and new tv episodes (daily). Whenever I add a movie (or TV episode) I always have to quit iTunes for them to show up on my appletv. Is this the case for everyone else? It never happened before AppleTV 2.0!!!! Is there a way for me to not have to do this??? Thanks.

Mine appear without quitting.

Just hit the sync now button in iTunes and your new titles should appear on your TV. (Quitting and restarting iTunes does just this.)

Hmmm, is your situation similar to mine? Do you just stream all your content? I have it synced to my iMac but all the content I have synced is photos. I just have it synced so it shows up in "My Movies" etc on the appletv.

I stream everything... I only have to hit "Sync" to get new content to show on the TV.

Thanks guys. I did like not having to hit sync at all back in the 1.0 days but I guess I can put up with one click. Thanks.

Yeah sorry, I hit the sync button too otherwise the content list won't be updated on the Apple TV.

I have the most recent 10 movies sync'd, and I notice that once MetaX gets done copying the file into iTunes, the sync starts automagicly. You might want to select at least one most recent movie to avoid the manual initiation.

I don't have anything synced to my ATV, so when I add a new movie, I just click the sync. Nothing gets moved over and the new movies show up on the ATV.
