No. It does not have that app as of yet. You will need an internet streaming device like roku, Apple TV, wii etc.

It works well with network media, I've installed Plex media center on my home server and the interface is superb, http://www.plexapp.com/desktop/, if you chose this alternative should consider that you must pay an small fee for Plex for google TV application. (Server side is free)I didn't use any dongle but it depends if it is supported by Google Tv devices (drivers available) you should ask for that to your supplier.

It was not compatible with my service provider so I don't know if it will support Hulu or stream. It seems to have enough horsepower but it is really full of China specific bloatware.

No it only plays DVDs, blu-rays, and media from a USB drive. There's no netflix, hulu, amazon, or other apps on it.

Yes. I can stream anything on my Dish Hopper and set shows to record directly on the Vulkano to side load onto my iPd, iPhone and computer. It's a great addition.

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.

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

I use the Android app P2PIPC that is recommended and it works okay. It's not the most polished App but it does get the job done, Left and Right work just fine, but Up and Down are reversed. As mentioned before Synology doesn't support it natively but I was able to manually program mine using MPEG as the video and had to manually enter the path /http://192.168.1.6:554/videostream.cgi. But it works just fine.

Recorded shows? Are you referring to shows you have stored on a hard drive? I don't have the costar anymore but it does have a plex app that works somewhat. I would suggest a chromecast cheaper and actually works a lot better

Yes it can with an app to allow you to connect to DLNA streaming devices (such as this Synology box), your only concern will be the amount of bandwidth to provide a quality stream.

Yes, it supports MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG, FLAC, APE and WAV. It's just that for videos, it can't play MKV or FLV.

Just a note that MKV is no longer supported. You should get a WD TV Live or use Plex Media Server. I think WD TV Live is much better this generation. Last generation, the support wasn't much more than a really outdated Netflix client. It now supports Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, CinemaNow, Blockbuster, Spotify, FaceBook, Pandora and more. Sure you lose Amazon, but CinemaNow and Blockbuster are good compensation along with the fact that it will basically play all of your videos files.
