Can it stream Video from a media server like synology?

Best I can tell, you can use a Bluetooth adapter to stream all kinds of video but the receiver does not have any video app that I know of. Only Spotify and Pandora.

I am not sure I understand your question. Yes it will playback audio from streamed video given that the audio signal is routed to the receiver. I use Plex Media Server to stream movies to an Apple TV 3 which is connected to the Yamaha receiver and it works fine. To be specific, Plex Media Server houses all the video on a Drobo which is attached to a computer that is the server. The server streams the video to my Apple TV which is connected to my receiver via HDMI. The receiver passes the video on to the display device (in my case a projector) and the audio is played by the receiver. If you are asking if this can play video directly from a Synology NAS then the answer is probably no as far as I know. I don't believe you can use the ethernet port on it to directly connect to a NAS and play video from the NAS. I'm not sure this is possible with any receiver.

Hello TonySqed The receiver can play with a Android/iPhone or SD card 8GB maybe a 32GB and can only play audio soundslike MP3 MP4 WNA.But unfortunately this is not a Media Player, what you need to get is a Media Player having an USB input and a HDIM output for an external 500GB 1TB hard drive or higher for videos or photos and music. Don't get a 3TB.Hope this can help you.

Dear Friend, we are not sure whether the item support the Synology or not, we can only ensure it support Windows XP and Windows 7, thank you!

I used a Synology ds 1513. But i think qnap and most others will support this camera. Just check the campatibity in the nas documentation.

Typically, yes. But you should always go to Synology's site to confirm supported hardware.

I don't believe you can connect it to serve several computers unless you are willing to connect/disconnect cables regularly. I use it solely to store HD videos and it works great for that.

I'm not sure about that as I haven't used Synology. If Synology supports the standard PoE (802.3af protocol) and ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface) protocols, most probably, it'll work. It has better video quality and its IR reaches more distance than my WiFi DB Power IP Camera. I knew that WiFi cameras are not that good yet as compared to wired, PoE or non-PoE, but I don't have a way to run a cable from my router to the front of the garage so I used WiFi camera. If you could run a cable, don't use WiFi camera.

It won't run Plex by itself, but you can run Plex on the computer it's connected to.

No, it cannot. The only video connections available are the component ones.

I use the Qnap NAs that has the software for it. It also serves as my Media Center NAS so I can watch the camera video on my smart TVs as well.

Yes. In the Synology world it is known as Cloud Station and it is awesome. The files can be shared over local networks and the internet. It works great.

It can play videos from SD Card and USB. It doesn't have built in UPnP so you would have to use another device to stream. I personally use a PlayStation 3 or Chrome cast.

Yes you can. There's multiple options at your disposal, such as Synology Data Replicator.

Haven't used it for that. More/less planned to use as media server. But with alot of content (0.5TB-1TB) it's not ideal.

Yes, however you have to install XBMC and also install Fusion and Mashup that takes some time and experience

It does according to this: http://www.synology.com/support/faq_show.php?lang=us&q;_id=408

If your using the USB then yes, but I would recommend a NAS hard drive because it streams faster for video's than USB does. Hope this helps you.

What you would most likely do is use the Synology NAS as your media repository, then use the DS Video app on your iDevice. The DS Video app would connect to the AppleTV via AirPlay. The same could be said for the DS Audio app and AirPlay. Go for it! Just make sure you backup your files since this is a single drive unit.
