Apple TV streaming from my NAS with DNLA

I would like to know if it is possible to stream content from my NAS server directly to my Apple TV (3g) ... or is it not DNLA supported?
Now i am using all kinds off tools, like Airplyer , to see the video and photo`s on my TV?

No Apple have a fairly 'closed ecosystem' which relies on iTunes.
AppleTV (with Apple firmware) has never been able to use a NAS with an 'iTunes server' or NAS supporting DLNA.

My apple Tv has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server.

My Apple TV has audio problems when streaming from my NAS server or computer and even internet. I can hear the click sound it makes when you click on the icons, but when the movie starts there is no audio. This even happens when using XBMC. I have HMDI directly to my TV suing Apple TV 2. I have tried resetting, turning off both TV and Apple TV, and changing the HDMI cable. It is driving me nuts.

XMBC requires a hack, we cannot help with hacked devices.

Can apple tv stream from nas?

I have a Netgear ReadyNas Duo. With all my media from ITunes and the Firefly-Mediaserver is working on it. Can Apple-TV stream this content from my NAS without an working PC?
Thanks for your answers.

I will copy and paste what I find out, hope it helps you.
I have an Airport Extreme, but it works with other routers as well. Find out what communication standard your router supports. DLNA or SMB.
The Airport Extreme I use does not support the DLNA standards which most external drives like LaCie Fule or DW My Cloud use. I found out it supports the SMB standard though. So a quick search on the App Store with SMB as the keyword showed up a few file managment apps and the first I tried worked!
It's called FileExplorer Free and can access files on your external drive attached to your Airport Extreme. There were more hits but since the first app I found worked I didn't bother to check out the other apps.
I tried FileExplorer with songs first and it worked. You can listen to your songs with your iPhone or iPad or Airplay them to your Airport Express and listen to them at your home audio system. I couldn't hear any loss of quality.
It also works with yorur movies. Just select the movie and watch it on your iDevice or Airplay it to your Apple TV. Works with HD movies as well with no problems. Only downside was that the Apple TV can only display .mp4 files. Even the movies bought on iTunes won't work with the app and the Apple TV. So I had to convert a few movies using the free converter HandBrake.
FileExplorer works with other types of files like photos or documenst too. Oh and as a bonus: The FileExplorer app can also access your library from the DropBox or Google Drive. Works with NAS drives as well. Looks like you need the paid version though for those extras.
In case your router supports DLNA search for a DLNA app like 8player.
So finally I can move my big movie collection to my external drive and still watch it without the need for the Mac or iTunes to run. Hope this helps you too.

Stream from a NAS ???

I have my music and videos on a external HDD which I want to stream to my newly purchased Apple TV. Is there a NAS box or similar that I can use so I don't have to have my laptop switched on all the time?

If you have an AppleTV it is always there attached to the TV. No need to drag your laptop and cable around. AppleTV also shows content from the internet (movies, youtube, netflix), that does not need your laptop active.
The real benefit of the AppleTV is for someone with a iMac, mac-mini, or PC that can be on all the time with iTunes and be accessesed by the AppleTV. Also a benefit when you have two or more TVs and an AppleTV for each TV.

Amazon Prime on TV using Apple TV streaming from MacBook Pro?

I know Apple TV has Netflix natively on it, but I am a member of Amazon Prime. Can I watch Amazon Prime movies using AppleTV via the streaming ability from my MacBook Pro?

You would have to use mirroring, which requires a Mac from 2011 (or later) and OSX 10.8 (or later)

Can Apple TV stream from TV to Mac?

Will it be possible to do a reversed job with the new Apple TV?
I have a digital sat receiver that records too. I`d like to have a device that streams my recordings to my Mac Pro.
Til now I always have to unplug the receiver and drag it through the house and connect it with the Mac.
Anyone has any thoughts on this one?
Thanx, Marc

No, it will not do this. The video only goes one direction in this device.
There may be some other options available that might help you, though. Exactly what kind of DVR (digital video recorder) do you have? What's the brand and model?

Trying to import fotos from a nas drive into iphoto

OK folks.
Seems that I'm taking the long road instead of the short but here it is ....
I have a mac mini with a SSD drive on which I store the OS in one partition and user data in another. No problem.
I also have a non-partitioned Time Capsule that I use to store a slew of photos that I shoot in RAW, JPG and TIFF. Some of the files are duplicates at different exposures, non-edited, etc. So, I really don't want to get into the habit of storing all my photos on the SSD drive.
What I would like to do is share some recent photos via a photostream to allow team parents to grab copies remotely. According to everything that I've seen, I can only open a photo stream from my Mac with iPhoto. Step 2.
So, the initial question is how can I get iPhoto to recognize that NAS mounted disk to even import the pictures? Step 1.
(I'm really not up for copying all those photos to my hard drive.
A future option is to take one of the many HD and install it in the second bay and use it as working drive but I don't really have that kind of time right now.
Knowledgeable enough to follow UNIX type instruction and do the hardware but right now I'm looking for the 'this evening' solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried the File -> Add to Library command? Or drag and drop to the iPhoto Window? Or drag and drop to the iPhoto icon?
But you need to think this out carefully.
You do not want to run iPhoto with the Library on your internal drive and the images on another one. This article has information on how to do that and why you shouldn't.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6361
The best solution is to run a Managed iPhoto Library, and you can do this from a directly attached disk (read USB/Firewire/Thunderbolt) but not a network share like a NAS.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
See this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
for more. Note also the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”
Are you sure Aperture won't do photostreams?
If you're thinking of sharing via Photostream well Flickr is nearly as good, free and simple.

Possible to stream from FMLE to another (desktop)computer?

This is some kind of a challenge: I'm trying to find a
sollution for streaming a video signal from one computer
(preferably with FMLE) and pick up the video stream on another
computer and show the video fullscreen.
So far it seem to me that FMLE is only able to deliver the
video stream to a Flash Media Server. Is this correct?
I'm hoping it is possible to stream the video from FMLE and
"pick up" that single stream from another computer with maybe a
program like VLC (or another application? - I just read that VLC
supports RTMP streams), and show the video fullscreen.
In theory, maybe I can use Flash Media Server for this, if it
is able to show the video it's picking up fullscreen.
Any suggestions or thoughts would be apreciated!
regards

carlnes
Windows Media Encoder and Player as a combination can do this "direct pull" from an encoder to a player without a server in the middle. But in all the years of commercial live streaming I have done in 10 years, Flash Media Encoder can not be operated in the same way. A Flash Server has to be in the middle.

How can I see My Photo Stream from two Macs associated with the same Apple ID?

I have a MacBook Pro (my personal machine) and an iMac (our family computer).
The iPhoto library housing all of our family photos lives on the iMac.
The iPhoto library on my MacBook Pro is currently empty.
I have an account on both machines. I have associated the same Apple ID with both machines.
When I launch iPhoto on my MacBook Pro and attempt to turn on photo sharing (so that I can see My Photo Stream, as well as other shared streams), iPhoto informs me that "iCloud Photos for xxx@xxx is being used with another library named 'iPhoto Library'."
My iPhone, which is also affiliated with the same Apple ID, shows the streams just fine.
What can I do to remedy this situation? I'd like to be able to view my shared streams on my MacBook Pro, while leaving the actual massive photo library on the iMac.

I found out about this issue when I created a new library with some photo's I wanted to sync to my iCloud account. I found the following on the Fat Cat Software page and thought it might be helpful to others:
Using Photo Stream with multiple libraries
Starting in iPhoto 9.2, Apple introduced a new feature called Photo Stream, which lets you automatically transfer photos via their iCloud service between your iPhoto library and your other devices such as an iPhone, iPad, or another Mac. This feature works when you have multiple iPhoto libraries set up, but there are a couple things to be aware of.
First, iPhoto will only allow Photo Stream to be active in one iPhoto library at any given time. If you've already enabled Photo Stream in one library, but then open a second library and enable Photo Stream there, this will cause Photo Stream to be turned off in the first library.
Any photos downloaded by Photo Stream are actually stored in an entirely separate location from any of your iPhoto libraries. This means that, even if you do switch Photo Stream from one library to another, you will not need to go through redownloading all the photos you already have in Photo Stream back from the iCloud servers. So, switching Photo Stream from one library to another is a relatively inexpensive operation, so you can do it as often as needed without it being much of a hassle.
