It can play videos from SD Card and USB. It doesn't have built in UPnP so you would have to use another device to stream. I personally use a PlayStation 3 or Chrome cast.

Yes it works like a file server or can be used to stream music and video to devices in your home or to your wireless devices. I used to have a Windows NT server for shared file access. Now I just have this unit for file storage, file backup, cloud access, etc.

Yes for sure .. dlna smtp or whatever network sharing like airplay even through windows media playerI don't know which codec you mean .. but if you mean for video then the answer is no ..It doesn't support all video codec as I have many videos I had to convert them so it can be playable

It can play MKV files of any size (supports FAT32 & NTFS). Don't think it's region free...

Yes, just keep in mind that you will not be able to access network services through the HDMI port, but it will play movies from your local drive just fine. File size doesn't matter. I play 4-6 gb full 1080p MKV files all the time. I highly recommend the MKV container (with H.264 encoding) as you can also use Dolby digital 5.1. It is one of the few formats that works well.

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player. It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

It does have the native ability to play DVDs, but I'm not sure about taking from or sending to external video. Mine is not cabled to be able to do such, but there might be an additional input/output that I'm not aware of.

Why not? It just plug and play all the media in your micro sd, pendriver or if you connect your pc. There's no restrictions for this.

Hi Bruce, if your network hard-drive have a DLNA feature, yes you can play your vdeos e photos remotely. There a lot of APP with DLNA feature.

You can view the video feed locally on your network. Your PC will need to be connected to your network with Ethernet or WiFi. Internet service is not required. Hope this helps!

I have not use it for that purpose. I used it to stream Video files from my hard drive to the media player in another room. It works great.

No you cannot. It can only play back recorded video via a local wifi signal, which means you have to be relatively close.

It will play from the server it does not stream to anything else,any other devices would have to access the server.Hope this helps.

No, there is no way for it to access your laptop or your network. You need to copy the files onto an SD memory card or USB memory, then play the files on this player.

It will play all media file types.... As far as the gb capacity, I have mine hooked up to a 1.5TB external hard drive full of audio/video/photo files and it's never had any trouble streaming any of it.
