Stream iTunes Videos to TV via Nexus Player

The tech giant Google has announced the new streaming media player - Nexus Player on October 15, which is the first device to run Android TV platform. The Nexus Player is a $99 set-top box made in collaboration with Asus with a round shape and small size. Nexus Player uses Bluetooth for remote control, has a microphone that supports voice search, what is more, there's an optional gaming controller available which separates itself from other rival set-top boxes such as Roku or Apple TV. Nexus Player runs a brand new TV-optimized version of Android 5.0 (Lollipop) which means it'll eventually be compatible with a huge assortment of Android apps in the Google Play store.

Nexus Player Key Specs

  • CPU: 1.8GHz Quad Core, Intel Atom
  • Wi-Fi: 802.11ac 2x2 (MIMO)
  • 8GB flash storage
  • A remote control with a built-in microphone for voice search
  • Bluetooth 4.1
Nexus Player is Google Cast-ready, meaning it can receive a stream from a Chromebook, Android or iOS phones or tablets, and display it on a TV. It’s an ideal streaming media player for movies, music and videos. Unfortunately, not all videos can be streamed with Nexus Player, such as iTunes videos which are strictly protected by Apple FairPlay. The DRM locked iTunes M4V videos are restricted from playing on non-Apple devices. It’s such a pity that the iTunes HD videos cannot stream on TV.
To solve this problem, removing DRM from iTunes videos is needed. M4VGear DRM Media Converter is a smart yet professional DRM removal tool to bypass the DRM protection from both iTunes rentals and purchases, thus to convert the locked M4V movies and TV Shows to DRM-Free MP4 format which is supported by Nexus Player.
