Has anyone tried the DS214play yet?
The Package "Video Station" has had the ability to do Airplay (Video) for months now, but since my current Diskstation is too old, its too slow to transcode the videos in realtime and thats why it only works with files supported by the Apple TV.
The new DS214play got a hardware transcoder and should be able to do FullHD in realtime.
How it works: You get an app that lists all your movies and TV-shows. There you can choose "play on apple tv" and it will directly stream it from the NAS to the Apple TV. You can close the App on the Tablet/Phone afterwards. (also works with wdtv and others)
Already ordered it, was just wondering if anyone had the chance to try it and maybe awaken the interest of other apple tv users.
Too lazy to convert all files into a Apple TV compatible format.
