What to expect from Duo V2 operating system ?
I'm considering changing my Duo (Sparc) for a Duo V2 (arm). The original Duo is great especially thanx to community add-ons. I could see that WhoCares has begun porting his add-ons so I guess the ne...

If you send me a stream to test with and the VLC command line syntax you intend to use I can give it a try.
Thanks for proposing, but I wont bother you with that : I'm reaching the conclusing that Duo V2 is a no-go for what I need.

Since the i-Devices at least to my knowledge don't come with own printer drivers I fear that using target drivers would be the way to go. However, what I did was to enhance CUPS on the ReadyNAS so that it not only supports USB printers but also networked printers and possibly even printers attached to a Windows host. So there's a small chance you could send just raw data to a printer that is managed by the ReadyNAS but in reality is attached to a Windows box. In that case the actual rendering could be handled by the Windows machine, eliminating the need for a dedicated target driver. But I haven't tested this ;) Next time, just buy a Brother printer, as far as I know they come with full source code for their drivers. Or HP (I also ported HPLIP to the x86 ReadyNAS so I should be able to do the same for ARM).
There actually exist a Samsung driver for iOS but its embeded in an App : Apple doesn't allow third party printer driver installation, so I'm limited to printing mails and pictures (that is not interesting at all).
Since my printer is a network printer, the whole purpose of AirPrint on the NAS is to be able to print without the computer switched-on. The rendering must occure either on the iPad or on the NAS (since the printer will not render PDF directly).
Anyway, I'd like to thank you two very much for yours answers. I will postpone the change of the NAS, hoping for a cheaper x86 model and also for an updated debian distro.
Thanx again guys.
