Topic: Access to a Network Media Players Internal Hard Drive

[Timithekid]

Sa Mga expert, patulong naman...

I'm considering a purchase of a new Media Player with a HD and since I don't have one with such characteristics (I own a Gen 1 WDTV so it does not have a HD) I was wondering if I could access the HD inside the Media Player using a PS3 in another room.  From what I have researched it seems likely but I cant seem to find a thread here that neatly explains it.  I hope someone can help out a confused newbie...

Thanks!

If you purchase an ac ryan play on HD2 and have an internal hard drive. The media player will act as a NAS and you can access the contents of the internal hard drive from your computer, ps3 or other media players. Which means that if you have a movie on the hard drive of the ac ryan play on HD2, you can watch that movie on another media player.

Now that is one definitive answer! Thank you Sanjay!  

Is there any other Media player that will function the same way? Popcorn? Egreat? Measy?  Which one of these Manufacturers have a built in Wifi?

Popcorn Hour and Egreat are also capable of your requirement... Though if youre playing 1080p material i suggest you use wired connection... Playing 1080p via wifi is Flaky..

Now this i did not consider..napaisip moko sir ah, is there an explanation why?  I'm totally oblivious that it could be an issue because i though wifi and wired would function the same way, does speed have anything to do with it?

Thanks!

Yes wired is still the best way to go you can use Popcorn Hour to use the gigabit ethernet port
