Only if the connected device that has the media is dlna(running media server) like a DLNA NAS or something like that...

Yes, you can connect a USB drive directly or access your files on the network. I have downloaded Plex Media Player from the Google Play store, and I love it. It catalogs all media, download poster and art if available on the Internet automatically. Google TV comes with media player but I like Plex and Avia players from play store.

It comes with 3 ports. If you can plug it in, you can play it. I have tried some but not all of the media types you mentioned. I Love this little thing.

I haven't used that function. I have had it play music behind my slideshows, which it does quite well. I expected to be able to load my photos and music onto the Digital Frame via a USB cable, however that didn't seem to work. I expected that USB wireless ability to be built in, so that way was not possible unless I wanted to go buy one somewhere. So, I was left with moving my files and music to a memory card and then putting that into the Digital Window to get it there. The instructions are barely minimal. The picture quality is excellent.

Yes it'll play them as long as you sync it with the windows media player on your pc

Yes it does. You might want to use SD/USB instead though, easier n larger space. Plays movie files too, mp4, avi, etc.

No! It strictly processes storage devices like SD cards and thumb drives. It only has intelligence to navigate through the file system of these devices to select out jpeg files and display them. It doesn't attach to a network in any fashion.

It plays media, but has no onboard storage. So, it can play online streaming media (Hulu, Netflix, a bunch of other services), it can stream media from a network share so you can watch stuff stored on other computers on your network, and can also play media directly from a drive you plug into one of the USB ports.

Yes. From the Library Menu of Windows Medial Player, choose Media Sharing and discover the Pioneer device and setup the sharing options.

Don't know, don't think so. And DON'T waste your money on this piece of garbage. Read the reviews. This is the worst excuse for a media player I have ever owned.

It is called an MP4 player,but I never could get it to play MP4 files. In fact I had so many issues with this device that it went into the trash. I hope you have better luck.

Dennis, assuming you have a DLNA/UPnP server on your network and you want to use the GS8 to play media from that server, just like you can with a PS3, then yes, use the Media House app; you will need to install an external media player like aVia. I think ES File Explorer will also work. If your DLNA server is Playon, then these apps do not work, but there is a specific Playon app in the Google Play store.

You can upload content on the micro SD card slot that is available and play it while connected via USB. Otherwise you'll need a wifi connection for other streaming functions

The network is ok .. but I couldn't test the speed because there is no way to see/copy/files through network in this device and no way to browse for subtitle. I don't recommend this player for you dear .. look for other media player

Second thoughts: It could be that the Windows Media Player is the problem. My network sharing of my music files is done through the WMP, and I think it doesn't recognize FLAC files -- I just checked my WMP "library" and my FLAC files are not shown, so they wouldn't be available on my WiFi network. I'm sure there are other ways of setting up "My Shared Music" which might be able to include FLAC files (maybe using Real Player, etc.). Speak to a techie!

You can play MP3 files that are on your computer, but I haven't found a way to bypass radio-frontier to get to an internet source
