Is there a way to stream my media (photos, videos, music, etc.) from a hard drive wirelessly to my Apple TV?
I don't want to have to store all my content within iTunes on my main machine. I know I could always save my content onto a portable hard drive and import them onto my library, but I don't always want to have to leave my computer on.
What I was trying to do is use my router as a NAS (Network Access Storage). I have a good D-Link at home, but I know iTunes won't recognize a non-Apple product. I was hoping to use an Airport Extreme or Time Capsule, but I was told it wouldn't work when I went to an Apple store and ask.
Basically what I'm asking is am I able to plug a portable storage device into a router and have the Apple TV recognize it and stream the content within the portable hard drive wirelessly without being in iTunes?
