How to Play iTunes Movies on an Xbox

Apple's iPod is the most popular MP3 player on the market, with 76% market share according to Business Insider. Since Apple requires iTunes to add and manage your iPod, this has made iTunes one of the most popular media management applications, with the ability to catalog your music, movies, audio books and podcasts. Apple released the AppleTV to make it easy to watch your iTunes library on your television, but if you already have an Xbox 360, you can easily stream your library to your television with the help of some third-party applications.
