Apple TV Streaming to Meta Quest 3S

How do I access Apple TV on the Meta Quest.3S. I have a number of purchased movies and TV series on Apple TV that I would like to watch with my 3S.

I don't want Apple TV+ just Apple TV and my purchases. If I use the browser it only seems to bring up Apple TV+, not my purchased movies.

From what I can see it's only possible with an Apple TV (I have one) and linking it with various cables and a video capture device connected with cables to the 3S.  This seems an overly complex process.

Surely there must be a wireless solution or the Apple TV app is made available.

One of the main reasons for me purchasing the device has been to watch movies so I am currently very disappointed I am not able to view my Apple TV movies and TV show purchases.

    Hi MalkieG  

    I'm making the assumption that you also have a laptop/PC here - apologies if you don't.

    The only way I can think of is if you still had iTunes on a PC (can you still get it?) - you could watch downloaded films on that.  You could have used Virtual Desktop to view your laptop/PC in the Quest.

      I can confirm if you have a windows pc you can login to your Apple TV account there in the app and stream hassle free with virtual desktop.  I did it today, and it works just fine.  Forget trying with a Mac.  I have a Mac mini m1, and nothing but a black screen.

    Hi MalkieG , yeah as you say, it's not a simple thing right now.

    You can use the web browser to watch Apple TV+ but you need an HDMI Link cable + capture card for your Apple TV. At least that's now an option!

    However, if you don't have a PC/laptop as Hiro_Protag0nist suggests... I've seen a YT vid for an app call AirPin which gives Android devices including the Quest 3/3S Airplay functionality. You have to sideload the apk so I don't know if you're ok with that... and I can't vouch for the app at all. All 'unknown sources' are strictly use at your own risk but assuming you get the official program from the Google store (using an apk downloader), you should be good.

    I should say though that I don't have an Apply TV to test, only my iPhone, I'm just assuming Apply TVs can cast to any Airplay capable device, same as iphones?

    Signup for movies anywhere which is free then link Apple to it. Then in meta browser goto movies anywhere and sign in. Your Apple purchases await.
