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!
Apple TV requires "home sharing" - which is available in Apple's iTunes, but is not available in any linux server (neither forked-daap nor the older firefly). That's because Apple hasn't opened that particular feature up, so no one but Apple can implement it.
So you can't access the NAS directly from your Apple TV. You can open the NAS iTunes library on a PC, and then use AirPlay from the PC to play it on the Apple TV. That's about the best you can do.
