XBMC SOFTWARE

If you choose to connect the QNAP NAS to your TV set via HDMI not only can you access its basic functions but you can also use it to watch video clips via YouTube, listen to songs with Spotify, browse the web with Chrome and playback media files with XBMC.

The XBMC application basically transforms the NAS Server into a HTPC thus you can use it from the comfort of your bed or sofa especially if you have the optional remote control.

As always you have the option to personalize the XBMC application quite a bit (for example change the skin of the menus and set the region/language/audio language options).

Important information like the hardware components of the unit are accessible through XBMC much like the several video and audio settings.

Our Blu-Ray MKV rip of Avatar S.E (42GB) was once again used to test the playback capabilities of the NAS at hand and much like the TS-470/Pro/451 we didn’t' come across any issues while watching this movie (we didn't expect any to begin with from a Quad Celeron/8GB RAM model) so once again we took some screenshots for all of you to see the level of detail.
