Can you stream clear MP4 files to an appleTV from this device?

What you would most likely do is use the Synology NAS as your media repository, then use the DS Video app on your iDevice. The DS Video app would connect to the AppleTV via AirPlay. The same could be said for the DS Audio app and AirPlay. Go for it! Just make sure you backup your files since this is a single drive unit.

I am wondering something similar. Can this be used to store the iTunes library to be accessed with Apple TV (then sent through the A/V receiver?)

It seems like you used to be able able to - but I think they deactivated the output in the last few updates. Same goes for Netflix & Amazon Instant Video

No because it works separately from your apple products it doesn't stream from your home network or anything you have stored on you phone or computer

It's just a streamer for your storage. If your device can play .mov files, you should be fine.

No, u can just stream it. U do have the option to download it if u like. I chose this Media share device because of the RJ45 connecter option & the app, one of the better for these types of devices. Great device!

I don't know about Apple TV. I use it to control streaming video playback on my MacBook Pro.

You can install Raspbmc that supports airplay. But there is a known issue with ios7 support - ios7 devices play only sound, not video.

I don't know, since mine is 2 years old. It would be difficult to imagine that they would go backwards on that. Look on your AppleTV menu under Settings -&gt; General -&gt; Bluetooth. If you have that, adding any Bluetooth input device SHOULD be possible (Bluetooth is a standard regardless of device, just like USB is a standard).

JW, I'm ordering a AE to do exactly what you are looking to do. My PB needs some space cleared up so I'm planning to put the majority of the music on the external hard drive attached to the AE. Are you able to use the N-spec on your mac laptops? If so then you should have no problem. Remember they brought this out with teh appleTV which is going to stream movie content over the N network, so music should be easy.

Yes you can, I guess there are lots of apps which are able to do this, but I have found NPlayer to do this perfectly. The beauty of this player is that it supports almost all video formats. A definite buy

Yes you can. As long as it is in a supported format that iTunes or quicktime player can play. Converters for this can be found through google most are free.
