Still No Apple TV Audio or Video Streaming Options?
Last I checked there weren't any options to let an Apple TV play content from a ReadyNAS (any variation). Last thread I found on this was last year. Is this condition still the case? Thanks!
Yes

But what's really needed is home sharing in the Readynas itunes server (in the apple sense) - which is a closed part of apple's platform. Airplay isn't really the best option, since you are often doubling (or even tripling) the needed wifi bandwidth (wifi streaming to the ipad, wifi streaming from the ipad, and in some cases wifi streaming to the apple TV).
If you have a higher end NAS, you could use it to host a Windows VM that runs iTunes. I can't think of any other way to do this w/o a PC (mac or windows).
