iTunes wants to automatically play vidoes on ATV

[gramirez2012]

Everytime I want to watch a movie or TV show in iTunes, it seems to think the default preference is to play it on the ATV (which won't work because of HDCP or something ) In order to watch a video on my computer, I have to manually tell it to play on the computer instead of the Apple TV. I've looked all over the Preferences menu to see if I can change this, but I haven't found anything. Any ideas? This is really bugging the crap out of me.

How are you manually telling it to play on the computer?

In the lower right hand corner of iTunes, you need to select the Airplay button and turn off multiple speakers and/or select your computer as the only output.

That worked, even though AirPlay wasn't active. Thanks!
