Also, can this play files stored on a NAS on the same network?

Im sure there are other apps out there but I play my files from my NAS using XBMC. The only ones I have problem with are 1080p 3D movies and I think thats more of the A100 itself and not so much XBMC.

We are using PlayOn which is now integrated with Roku.It streams from a NAS unit on our network.Claimed to be a beta implementation but works flawlessly for us.

I used to use DLNA, but now I ONLY use the network connectivity.If I had an external HD directly connected, it might be more helpful since I think the WDTV has some indexing features when using DLNA, but all my files are now on my NAS.

It's not listed as compatible, your best bet is to use a drive listed as compatible from the NAS category of drives, purpose built for use in a NAS.

You can rSync to do it. Or have QNAP's RTRR keep pulling data from synology over FTP that should work too.

Scott, I don't have an NAS so I don't have any experience with them. I suspect that it should be possible to use files on an NAS, but I don't think you can stream from one. You would need to tell the HAPZ1 music transfer program to look on the NAS drive for music files (wav, flac, etc). The files will need to be transferred to the HAPZ1 internal (or a dedicated USB connected external) hard drive. I would suggest that you call Sony support for a definitive answer. It will take a few minutes to get through the various departments to get connected with the ES support staff. My experience with them is that they are very knowledgeable.

If your Synology NAS can use rsync, it looks to be absolutely doable. But I of course don't have a Synology to test this.

Yes. Definitely. I have successfully transferred a number of photos, music, and movies to the MICCA over the LAN; however, it doesn't play well with HD's over 2TB.

As far as I know it will only record to internal hard drive. There was no set up I could use to record to my computer's harddrive through the Internet. I'm not familiar with the NAS.

In theory, you should be able to; but in practice, I cannot say for sure since I do not have a Smart TV to test this theory out. If you already have the capability to play HD movies from your computer through the Smart TV, then the odds are more in your favor. Once you connect the external hard drives to your computer, then it should be just a matter of selecting your new NAS drives as the source.

You certainly can, that is how I almost always use the player. I have a short flash drive that I populated with music from my computer that I plug into the system and it plays it with no problem.

Hello David Yes, in my domestic network scenario I use a Mac and my wife use a Windows laptop and network drive map works without problems. The NAS is connected on my Apple Time Capsule 1TB old version and the GUI interface of this NAS is easy to use and the access is via http. About the FTP, I can't comment because I've never used.

Hi Bruce, if your network hard-drive have a DLNA feature, yes you can play your vídeos e photos remotely. There a lot of APP with DLNA feature.

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.

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.
