Can it stream protected iTunes content directly to an Apple TV? Or does it have to be streamed through a computer with itunes open accessing the file?

Sorry, I can't answer your question. I stream MP3 files directly to my Sonos bridge which then streams to all of my devices throughout my home. If you can't find an answer, I have a friend, who unfortunately out of the area temporarily, does stream from a NAS drive using Apple Air. Maybe he could help.

I'm using the latest version of EyeTV and Mac OS 10.9.4 on a Mac Mini. Everything works fine except when streaming to my iPhone and iPad when I'm outside. Streaming to my mobile devices was working before but stopped working when I made various updates to my system and network settings.

I would have to say that if you have a large itunes drm protected library, then Apple TV. But if not, Roku comes up ahead at this time due to price, quality, and choices and it does have the ability to stream content from your pc using the right channel.

that depends. you can see or download any video in itunes if you want, and they all have good quality, but apparently you have to pay for that. but if you just want to see online, you just need plug-in component or some free soft ware to watch videos. hope these can help you. ^_^

This works very well from Airplay on iPhone 5, 6+, iPad Air, and iTunes on a laptop. I would expect it would work fine from an Apple TV, although I have not tried it personally.

1- You Can Store The iTunes Library To It, But You Have To Open The Data Folder Every Time U Open Your Mac. 2- I Couldn't Find A Way To Stream From It.

You can view your Screen image of what ever you are watching on apple device. Except for any software that is used for movies. You can not watch hulu, netflix, or cable media. So when you ask if you can view your IOS, I am assuming you meant, can you view what you are watching on your apple devise on your computer.

I think this is a double question, I don't have an "Apple TV box", Yes You can open music and photographs in iTunes on an iMac or iPad, opening them up on an "Apple TV box" I do not know if that is possible to stream data since I do not have one of those.

Since you don't seem to be getting an answer, I'd Google it. I think there may be some licensing issues with Plex. I don't use it myself, I transcode everything and put it in iTunes.

iTunes purchased movies use FairPlay DRM (Digital Rights Management) to restrict these movies to playback on Apple devices only. Starting with iOS 8, iTunes purchased movies that use FairPlay DRM will not stream from any 3rd party device whether wired or wireless. Several companies that manufacture NAS storage have reported this issue to Apple, including the company behind AirStash, and have been awaiting an iOS update to bring this feature back. We do not know if this will be fixed in a future iOS release or not. We have heard that people have had success using 3rd party software to remove the FairPlay DRM from their files, but we do not condone this method.

JW485, I tried what you are describing and everything in my existing music library played fine. I streamed over my 2006 Macbook Pro(802.11g). To set it up in Itunes go under edit &gt; preferences&gt; advanced and change the location to your external HD. The problem I had was with downloading new music. Itunes failed to authorize and completely download any newly purchased music, and it took a day of email exchanges with the Apple support to redownload the music. Ultimately, I changed the library location back to default to my local laptop HD so that I could purchase new music without the headache. I was a bit disappointed in the process considering the cost of the router and Apple's reputation.

It will not work with Apple TV on its own. You can put all of your media on to it, then add that media to your iTunes library and use it with an Apple TV like that, though.

Just tap on the file. It will stream to your iPad. Two things to note; 1. Any video file that will normally play on your Pad, (.mov mp4 etc), will work from Airstash. Some formats may have to be converted before it will play. 2. Make sure your iPad is "authorized" to play movies that you have paid for that has DRM, (digital rights mgt), embedded. Amazon movies will ask if the computer you are trying use should be authorized. I think they have a limit (5?) machines you can authorize.

Yes it streams from a NAS drive with no computer as long as the drive supports DLNA. I have had this about a year and it works fine. One note on your question, I run Windows so I can not speak for Apple. I would assume as long as the NAS supports DLNA it will work.

Have you actually gotten it to work? I have Plex on my Roku and it will not play iTunes movies/tv shows. Even the Plex forum states iTunes stuff is DRM protected.

You can, and with anything you can't the work around is to burn that to a cd, and then import it into Itunes. I have successfully even converted a video from youtube into an mp4 format, and then import that into Itunes.
