Before I make the jump and go from my WDTV player to the Apple TV, I want to make sure I understand the concept of exactly how iTunes stores info.
Am I correct in assuming (always dangerous) the following? I have 2 different external 2Tb drives with movies/TV Shows on them. When I want to add a movie in iTunes I go to add file or folder. Does this make a complete new file under the iTunes library (thus taking up space already used on my external drives) or does it simply act as a pointer to the file location?
If I do then get an Apple TV, the interface will then get it's info from iTunes and stream the mp4 or m4v to the unit, correct? Having seen videos of the interface, I assume these movies will show under under computers in the ATV interface. Short of jailbreaking the unit, is the only info that will show up with my movies will be the cover art, no synopsis OR does it/can it get all it's info from whatever is in iTunes (from the Summary, Info & Video tabs)?
