Does anyone know if there is a smart TV app that can play the WWMC videos? I’m currently streaming them com my iPhone via Apple TV. It works but is not convenient.

On this website the videos that are freely viewed are at this location.<br>
Check out the following Vimeo options for Apple TV here on Vimeo’s site.You might try loading the URL directly in the Vimeo app on Apple TV? No elegant solution but it might work for you.

25 September 2018 at 12:10 pm #552129I use my apple TV and my ipad,using the mirroring function. Not perfect but quite good. The remote allows me to fast forward/pause/back up. I download the videos onto my desktop then put them on the ipad. I think you could do the same on an iphone.
But I have not tried to cut out the step with the desktop, which may be the root of your questions.
Best of luck.Your best bet is to invest in a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device that you can copy the downloaded files to. You can then install a small app onto this NAS that will convert it into a DLNA player. T=You’ll then be able to stream the videos directly to your TV or any other device that has a suitable player.
A suitable NAS would be a a Netgear Ready NAS (something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-RN10200-100EUS-ReadyNAS-Personal-Streaming/dp/B00IBCR7HS?th=1)
I then use 8 Player Pro on my iPhone and iPad to view the videos. My TV has a DLNA player built in as does my Blu-Ray player so I can pretty much watch Paul’s videos from anywhere in the house or on the move if I download them into the 8 Player Pro app.
You can also just browse to the videos folder on the NAS when you’re using your PC (or MAC) and watch the Videos via the network share too.This isn’t the only way to do this sort of thing but it’s a nice, quick and fairly easy way to achieve what you’re after. I work in IT all day and the last thing I want to be doing in the evening is personal tech support so the more straight forward and simple the setup, the better.
Don’t let the IT side of things put you off, the Netgear NAS boxes are really straight forward to use these days (I’m sure other brands are equally good – I’ve just described my set-up).
Hope that’s of help.
