Q: Apple TV configuration 2016
Got this new ATV however I'm not able to view my NAS drive from within the Apple TV screen.
AT the Apple Store, I saw the connection to NAS drives in the settings menu and after I was assured by Apple staff this is possible I bought the device on this premise.
i have been tinkering with the setup menus but no success. My NAS is a Synology DS 1814 with 8 bays.
CHecking through the literatire, I was to use DS video which is an App on my phone to push the video to my 'device' which is the ATV. Aside I have tested DS video which plays the movie on my phone but I cannot upload or play on my TV screen via ATV.
The
Additionally,, my iPhone doesn't pair with the ATV. I had to set it up manually when I first bought it. I d/l the Apple TV App for iTunes which sits on my phone. I tried again to access my ATV but got the message - cannot see Apple TV you must be on the same WIFI as your Apple TV. The Apple TV is connected by Ethernet. my phone is using WIFI from a router(repeater) downstairs and my Cable router is upstair. Even going upstairs and connecting with the Wifi upstairs and running downstairs to the ATV it still can't find my iPhone device and connect by blue tooth To the ATV. The bluetooth is activated on my phone.
shall I give up and return this? It's not working the way I want it to. iTunes can be accessed in my iPad connected by cable to the TV. I don't need a $200 device to do the same thing. I really want to play stuff from the NAS which is the primary functio.
