As a part of LG Group, LG Electronics developed its first Internet TV in 2007, branded as "Netcast Entertainment Access" that was renamed as LG Smart TV in 2011 with the world's first 84-inch Ultra HD TV introduced. In 2015, LG Electronics launched the world's first HDR-capable 4K OLED TV, followed by the flagship LG SIGNATURE OLED TV. Through continuous innovation and improvement for many years, LG smart TV has evolved a lot from white-and-black devices to OLED TV.

In order to make LG Smart TV users better to enjoy their digital life, in this article, you will find some tips on why iTunes movies and TV episodes can't play on LG smart TV and how to transfer iTunes M4V videos to LG Smart TV.
Part 1. Why We Can't Play iTunes Videos on LG Smart TVs
iTunes, one of the biggest online digital stores all over the wrold, provides a large number of popular digital content for users, such as movies, TV shows, audiobooks, music, etc, which adds a lot entertainment to people's lives. But if you are one of the users of iTunes, you might be familiar with Apple’s FairPlay DRM copyright protection that is developed to avoid unlicensed sharing and abuse of iTunes digital media files. As such, iTunes DRM movies and TV episodes are encoded with M4V container format, which are limited to play on authorized Apple devices and players, such as Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and so on. What's worse, we can only authorize up to five computers with iTunes-linked Apple ID. These defective features really restrict iTunes users' right and freedom to enjoy iTunes M4V videos everywhere.
Certainly, if you have an Apple TV, you are able to stream iTunes DRM videos to LG smart TV via Apple TV. If not, you aren't permitted to transfer them to LG Smart TV directly unless removing DRM protection in advance.
