If you want to test on ur ATV the there is a lite version for free.

On checking it also being updated, so all good then.

The interface is a bit cartoony but it works for less than $5, job done. However I found 8Player Pro which connects reliably via upnp and does photos as well. So having battled and struggled with various apps -> VLC is shite, I hate it. Cheers all.ĮDIT2: (June 2022) Just in case anyone searches for similar. I checked and the included media player is a bit basic but just the job so ditching VLC and just using that instead. Late last night I remembered I had a cheap Sony bluray player attached to the same TV. If I don't use iTunes what is the best combo of server/client to use with a Synology NAS?ĮDIT/UPDATE: There is no ideal combo as far as I can see if you want to use DLNA with Apple TV. Better yet, you can share all that media with your Plex-using friends, and enjoy streaming theirs in return. MinimServer can be installed on the NAS but I'm having trouble finding the right client for the ATV. With a Plex media server and apps on your computers, iOS devices, and Apple TV, you can store and stream your collection of non-DRM movies, TV, music, and more to any device, anywhere. I've installed Emby server but am having a lot of issues with it. I don't like Plex, on ipad/iphone I can use the DS Audio app but it doesn't exist for ATV. I do have a Synology NAS and the DS Video app on ATV is fine, just works.īut music playing is a pain.

I've had many Apple TVs, in the past I had a Mac Mini as a media server but it died.
