All I want to do is connect this to my PC and use it for my iTunes library. I use my AppleTVs to watch the library from various rooms. Can do?

Yes:that is what its madw for. Not only from devices that are directly connected like your computers are but anydwvice that can play a movie( phones, pads Etc)...

I do exactly this with a Synology NAS. There are a few caveats with the library but I can watch or listen to my library on 2 Apple TVs and audio with some Airport Expresses. Should work the same with this.

You can use EX2 for your iTunes Library with out any doubt. As far as using this for your Apple TV in other rooms I cannot answer that question, my apologies.

Just use a standard HDMI cable and connect the AppleTv to the receiver (choose one of the hdmi slots avaikable)

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.

I never tried it, but I can't imagine it would work. You need an OS and a software system like iTunes to control the media.

Hi, I have used this device to stream MP4 and M4V to my iPad, iPhone etc. in the interface on your computer you are able to play files from this device by streaming or just plugging it in by USB. I did have DRM issues when trying to play a video purchased outside of iTunes in another player other than iTunes, however. Those I could only get to play by transferring through the iTunes interface.

Yes you can. You can stream from any Airplay device. I just tested it from my AppleTV and it works fine.

Well I've tried to do that and failed, however I'm not that great on technical stuff, ask my husband. I do have an Apple TV hooked up to it and play remotely from my projector info coming from a computer in my office

You can stream music from your computer, but not through the USB port. I have an ethernet cable plugged into the unit, and I can stream music through iTunes to the unit. "Airplay," which is iTunes' streaming protocol, is one of the sources on the unit (just like Tuner or CD or Phono). You can also put music on a USB stick and plug it directly into the unit.

I have been able to do this from iTunes on my PC but not from my iPad or apple TV, I have only been able to select one speaker from these devices, but from the pc I have had the iW2 the Apple TV and a pioneer airplay enable device all running at once

I dont know about PC, I'm a Mac user. Windows Media Player is a DLNA player, so it should work. i play Pandora on my Sony TV, throufh my Sony Receiver STR-DN1030 and I "Party Stream" to my two SN-NS500 speakers. But I primarily use Airplay on my iPhone or iPad to each speaker individually as I move around the house, or I take one the speakers ourside by the pool or to wash the car.

We tried connecting it to our computer, but we kept getting an error message. My daughter said it doesn't connect with itunes, it probably needs a different app

Can't answer all of the Qs, but I current use it for the Movie and TV Show portion of my iTunes library and it works very well indeed.

You can stream to multiple AirPlay devices from iTunes on OS/X - but not on iPad/iPhone. You can even set different relative volume levels for each of the multiple devices.

I can stream to my computer and to iOS (in compatible formats, not wmv, avi or flash) but the family share library only works with music in iTunes.

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.

You are able to connect to the network if it is plugged into an ethernet jack. Like I am able to access movie files from wireless computer and wireless harddrive, but I am not sure about an ipad app since I don't have an ipad. I would think you wouldn't be able to if you're watching it from an app, probably if it was stored on your ipad. I would look at apple tv if you want to stream things from your ipad to your tv.

Yes, that is exactly what I do. I store my iTunes library on my time capsule so that inhale only one iTunes library that is shared by my PC and Macs and my Apple TV. It also means you don't need your computer on to access your iTunes from your Apple TV.
