Using iTunes 11.0.1, I tried to add some newly converted movies to my library for consumption on my Apple TV 2. This used to work well: ripping some movies from my DVDs, converting them using HandBrake with the AppleTV or AppleTV 2 setting and adding them to my media library. However, now nothing happens when I add the movie using Cmd-O in iTunes or via Drag-And-Drop from the Finder. Opening the movie via right click in the Finder in iTunes works however, and I can even stream to the AppleTV then. So what's wrong? I checked in the console logs, and can't find any iTunes related error messages.

Are you sure you're looking in the right Media section of your library? Try looking in Music Videos, TV, etc, in case iTunes is putting it in the "wrong" section.

Yes. I even searched in the whole media library using iTunes' search. – Arne Dec 24 '12 at 23:52
I just added a bunch of MP4 container files, encoded with HB's H.264 (x264) codec and AC-3 pass thru. iTunes doesn't normally like AC-3 pass thru (it doesn't usually play), but it added the files just fine. Try backing up your iTunes Library, and then deleting it (or log in as another/new user). Does it work with a fresh library? – jimtut Dec 27 '12 at 19:13
