    I'm using a mix of Western Digital and Seagate (the 4 TB is seagate). I wont specify on the type of media

    @ Feather - then it looks like Apple will remain out of my entertainment system is iTunes needs to be running at all times.

      Yeah it bugs me a lot. So I can only stream video formats that iTunes accept. .avi, mkv have to be converted.

      I looked into systems like Roku which can run Plex but it requires the Plex software to be installed on a computer and be left on too. Synology has some kinda Video Station that can Airplay to Apple TV but it requires you to use a browser window or a Synology iOS app to select and play the video which kinda defeats the point (although that means you sidestep iTunes and can play more file formats that Plex supports.)

      The ideal solution is a jailbreak like an Apple TV 2 that can browse media directly on the NAS and play them without iTunes.

      I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

        ^^ like jailbroken ATV2 with XBMC installed.

          This is why Windows PCs shine for network based media streaming, though Donny I will admit, I'm intrigued by XMBC

            Kamal, check out the linux based version of XBMC called openelec. You can install it on a bare bones PC like a zotac zbox or Raspberry Pi straight off a USB stick, no operating system required.

              Wow someone managed to get Plex onto ATV3 WITHOUT A JAILBREAK.

              Plex Introducing PlexConnect, an AppleTV client which Thinks Different

              Will keep track of this.
