Do you already have a Duo v2? If so, give it a try on that.
If not, try streaming the file from your computer via Plex. If the CPU usage doesn't change much from when you're not streaming then most likely the video is in a format that the Apple TV can play natively and hence should work fine. If however streaming the video does involve a fair bit of CPU usage then most likely remuxing or transcoding is going on in which case it wouldn't work from the v2 (in this case you'd either have to re-encode this to a compatible format or consider a more powerful NAS).
