Hello All,

I'm not certain if this has been discussed, on list, but for whatever
reason, some of my mp4 videos won't play on my 4th gen Apple TV.  

The funny thing is that they play just fine in both the Mac and Windows
versions of iTunes and, moreover, on all of my iOS devices.  

After searching the web, I discovered that this is happening to a lot of
people.  Some have suggested that the reason for the problem has to do with
the way in which the video was encoded/created.  However, this does not
explain why some videos, created only moments before others, in my case at
least, play just fine while others do not.

In iTunes, there is an option to make Apple TV versions of videos.  However,
when many of us attempt to do this, we receive the message that the videos
are already correctly formatted.  

I'm going to paste in a URL to an apple discussion that highlights this
issue.  

Fortunately for me, I don't have many mp4 videos that don't play but, still,
how annoying especially when all play just fine on other devices, including
Apple TV 3rd generation.
