This is actually a replacement of Screenplay Director Media Player. It was full of so many bugs and stupid encoding problems that I had to return it.
Mostly I am very happy with this replacement! It has played almost everything I have tried playing…and properly. The interface is cool, the DVD upscaling is very good and the x264’s play great!
However, there are a couple of problems too.
First of all I still have to access it’s internal memory. The router/hardwire thing didn’t work. Maybe I was doing it wrong. I plan to buy a dongle today to connect to the wi-fi. My modem and computer is in separate room from the TV.
It is reading my 2TB Seagate but is very slow. I have had to leave it on whole night and there are posts here which say it takes two days to sync!
How can I limit the number of files/folders being uploaded or synced with the the Hub? Would hiding them in the original drive help? I love that one can delete and copy witout connecting to the computer, though!
Would it ‘re-scan’ all the files if the they have been updated on my 2TB drive, when re-attached? If yes, then how can I just make it read the new files?
Would it also play large blu-ray img files?
Also, the WD Discover software has been pretty useless for me…any suggestions?
I was using a 3 generation backward frmware I think version 2.4.13 anyhow I finally took the plung this week and got the newest as I have had some ISO issues and a plylist issue I was really hoping to get fixed. Anyhow yes it took along time for my unit to sync. However after it syncs and new stuff added only takes a few minutes if not less I added 2 titles yesterday and it took less than a minute.
I have actually played a very big blue ray file 28GB in an ISO format with the core DTS and it works flawlessly. I would just add for your best performance you need to hard wire it from your router. I had an issue with a G router when accessing my computer viewing h64 ideos it would stutter and chop went to N router and got rid og all wireless and now it even plays those
About connecting through Router. A step by step guide would be great 'casue I’m just ‘that way’ with computers!
What I did was this:
I have a wi-fi connection at home for my laptop. One end of the wire is in the router/modem, I stuck the other end into the Hub. It started blinking and all. But nothing happened…Nothing on My Computer - just the other Seagate drive.
What am I missing? Should I turn the wifi connection off to get access to the cable connection?
