Starting from version 6.6, Elmedia Player automatically converts all streamed media to the format understandable by the Apple TV, so you are no longer limited in the format choice.

Video:
- H.264 video up to 1080p, 60 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.2 or lower;
- H.264 Baseline Profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
