We all know that it is quite simple to watch videos saved on USB flash disk on home television if there is a USB port on TV. Just plug this disk into USB port and choose any videos you want to watch. However, it will become much more complicated when it comes to playing iTunes M4V files on Smart TV, LCD TV (Samsung, Philips, Sony, LG, etc.). This kind of problem will always occur and drive us crazy when we attempt to watch videos purchased from Apple iTunes Store on home television. What is M4V file? M4V file is a video format developed by Apple company. This file is well protected by Apple’s FairPlay Digital Rights Management (DRM), and it is the main cause of failing to play iTunes DRM M4V files on media players, such as Windows Media Player, VLC player, etc. To play M4V on TV through USB drive, we are required to remove DRM protection from M4V and convert it to TV compatible video formats.
