You would be correct. I have to have my mac on and iTunes open for this to work. But my media is stored on the nas, and it works for me for now.

The Mac is providing the HomeShare for the Apple Tv so it works. I believe, though, that if the Mac was turned off or did not have iTunes running, this configuration may not work. I'm not 100% positive on this one (probably only 98%), so I can be corrected if necessary but I seem to recall that the iTunes server is simply providing iTunes Sharing which is different than HomeSharing. It is the HomeSharing that is required for the Apple TV to access an iTunes Library. Later...

I store my iTunes library there, and point my iTunes from my Mac to this folder. And I have no issues. My appleTV pulls and streams the media content from there just fine. I turn on home sharing, and use the same appleID that my iTunes library has, and I have no issues at all. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Either by providing the Apple TV in some manner the IP address, folder share and user credentials of the share so that it can scan the folder, or, by enabling iTunes Server which is a feature of my NAS. iTunes Server is not the same as Home Sharing as found in iTunes the application. Any thoughts much appriciated. Essentually what I want to do is use something like Apple TV to stream content from a share on my NAS rather than having to push to it from iTunes or an iOS device. thanks.
