1. Can it play media from any network share (e.g. Windows PC shared folder, or some NAS)? 2. How about BD3D ISO images over the network? Any experience?

I have mine connected via network and also attached to that network is my NAS and it works great. From reading the manual you can also connect the NAS straight to the media player via USB, Ethernet, or SATA and all should work. As for the BD3D ISO it should play with no issues depending on how your media is being fed to the box. If over network your network has to be strong (Wi-Fi may not cut it).

My review was on the Micca EP600, which I do not use for streaming video. My sole use for the Micca is BD3D ISO movies.

Hi!1. I have the Micca EP600 media player. This device doesn't have built-in wifi, so I'm not sure if you can play media from network.2. It works perfect with BD3D Iso images!

on question 1 yes, i play movies off a couple extra drives i have installed in my computer.on question 2, it says it can, but i have not tried it yet for the simple fact i like the hard disc media for 3d movies.

I tested one of these Sony BDP-S3200, and I found (much to my annoyance) that, while it will connect to A DNLA server (e.g. my NAS box), it will not actually PLAY most of the video files. The bulk of my networked files are in MP4 format, but it says in the user manual that it may not be able to play MP4, MKV, or TS files on a DNLA server. The only video files I found that seemed to consistently work were AVI (XVid) and some WMV.

This is addressed to the person who says the Panasonic BD 77 only plays disks. I have owned mine for several years now and it is connected to the home network via cat5e to my router and it works great for streaming movies and music from my PCs and my NAS. So it does far more than just play disks.

I'm using it on Vista. Certain image formats seem to have difficulty copying, but .JPG is no problem. I haven't tested it with all audio/video formats but have incurred no problems.

Yes. Definitely. I have successfully transferred a number of photos, music, and movies to the MICCA over the LAN; however, it doesn't play well with HD's over 2TB.

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want) A better question is what format will it not play.

The previous reply addresses connecting the BD390 to your network. Your title specifically talks about communicating with your computer which suggests that you might like to play media (home movies perhaps) stored on your computer using the BD390. This may be possible using software included with the player which you would need to install on a Windows XP/Vista computer. More information may be found on page 45 of the BD390 manual which can be downloaded from http://www.lge.com/us/support/product/support-product-profile.jsp?customerModelCode=BD390&initialTab;=documents# (make sure you get that entire long URL).

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.

the WD TV Media player has a usb access on the side which you can connect your hard to or you can access media on your computer through the wifi network. I have windows seven and it is not user friendly, although I got it to work it takes a while to set and not worth the head ache. So I just transfer movies on to my portable hardrive then plug it into the WD player. hope that helps. Menu is very slow though but it works.

I have had no problem with this unit at all. It is on my home network (wired and wireless). The performance is very good so far. I plan to put my streaming video on the drive in a couple months so will see how that works. For now, great purchase

I've been using it a reader for both data and movies and it works out of the box with no drivers needed. You will need software for Blu Ray Movie Playback.I have yet to try burning anything but nothing indicates it can't be done. You may need burning software for it to actually burn discs. I don't know if the built in burning feature in OS X works with BD Rs.

I'll plug in my external hard drive and see. My only concern would be the slower USB 2.0 port. I have a 3 terabyte drive inside the AIOS and I play Blu-ray iso files all the time. I'll rip a disk to folders instead and put it on the portable drive that will connect via the front USB port. I'm copying a set of Blu-ray files to the player today, so I'll see how well it works versus .iso.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

Kenneth, did you ever find the answer to your first question "will this output two video signals simultaneously?" for I too have the same output need and would like to know the answer to your question as well. The old non network version of the WD Media player did not. I hope this new player will.

Hi C. Nunez, I will play a Japanese movie I just got with SRT file subtitles and I'll let you know the results. The alternative to this media box is a DLNA app on your computer (to play on your big screen) and I don't see advantage of DLNA over this WD box. I used TV MOBILI as a DLNA for months until they wanted money for going over 10 GB. This little box did the trick and even my nine year old son can run it.
