Now that the AppleTV does 1080p I'm considering getting one as a media extender for another room.

Has anyone any experience of Apple TV with MC (hacked or otherwise). Does it/Can it function as a DLNA device for video and audio? Adding it as a Zone in MC would be awesome, especially if the library could be seen/navigated from the Apple TV.

Can't go wrong for the price if it works!

I'm interested too, I'm looking for the right extender, I was thinking in WDTV live but I read in other thread that doesnt support external subs via DNLA, anyone know if the apple tv supports it?

I have an Apple TV but have not found a way to integrate with MC. It would be fantastic if MC and JRemote supported AirPlay.

Interim solutions:
Audio:  Use MC to nicely tag music, then import into iTunes for playback on Apple TV.
Video: Use MC to nicely name video files, then use AirVideo to play on Apple TV.

Does the ATV work with AirUPNP?  I think this works for Airports.

Good luck!

Quick google suggest Air UPNP is no longer supported. Do you have different info?

[pcstockton]

No...  sorry.

It does not work with upnp. It also without jailbreaking does only support a limited set of video formats. No mkv etc. You can only stream local content from itunes or airplay using an idevice or soon a mac.
None the less in our living room I recently recently added it to our jrmc htpc there and to be honest its now already used most of the time instead of the htpc.
