Will it stream .flv without hiccups?

Not sure. But this is basically an android 3.0 tablet without the screen. I found it to be slow with loading Google and playing YouTube videos.

It may, but the speed constraints of USB1.1 will mean the playback would be choppy, with audio and video out of sync. I can't even get a Divx encoded file to play from a USB drive without some amount of glitches.

No. You have to have the subscription to run the app. I tried running Hulu through the browser, but they have the mobile flash locked down. That being said, between Crackle, Youtube, and Crunchyroll, there isn't much you will miss. The flash on board did ok with some webstreams (I really only tried SyFy's to watch some Eureka). Oh, and another thing that sucks about Hulu is they kill the stream to the tablet if you plug it in using HDMI.

Yes you can. Because of the small amount of ram it may need to reload often. Some of my video seemed to run in slow motion.

I tried to connect this to my Flash Media Server in Local computer and on my internet server. Unfortunately I couldn't. other Stream Providers needs to outgoing internet. remember the Highest quality is SD Not HD.

I think its a timing situation - basically, this doesn't feel like a feature more like a loophole (one which will be gladly exploited; I don't bootleg movies, I get it that its serious, and I don't need it forced, I mean, vcr's had FF>>). I may incorrect again, but then I'm guessing I'm still doing it wrong :-/

Yes, it just depends on your viewing source i.e MS media player; Adobe; Active X, Mac/QuickTime etc.

Unfortunately it's not. BUT I've had multiple large programs running at once and it doesn't bog at all. For everyday media/home use it doesn't skip a beat!

It doesn't slow things that I have noticed but we're not streaming video. It's a pretty low resolution @480p so don't think it should cause a problem.

With the new GUI, it is now required. You can access it with FF, but the streams don't work right- or at all depending on settings and version. Chrome, on the hand, works perfectly. I wouldn't let the need for chrome deter your interest in this NVR- they really work awesome!

Nope. Unless you stream using their IE compatible website, or on a iOS or Android device, one stream/camera at a time

Yes. It streams the program while it is being recorded. There is a few second delay.

I want to watch videos on mine, too, so I had the same question. I found a discussion on http: / / tinyurl . com / 6zzv6y (sorry for the weird link, when I tried it before, Amazon wouldn't let me post it.) Apparently, out-of-the-box, videos stutter a little but with some tweaking, it can be smoothed out but maybe not perfectly.

PS3, or WDTV will Stream with no problem from your PC. That's if you have a good router and or PC. With cheap routers it might stutter or freeze just like any HD files. I've successfully streamed through networking with Ethernet wire attached with both 1080i and 1080 60p video from this camcorder with no freezing or stuttering. A flash drive or a hard drive attached to WDTV or any Media player will work also. Wireless streaming doesn't work well on HD contents like 1080.

I've streamed Netflix and YouTube plenty of times with no problems. I've also sent the stream to an external monitor with no problems.

It seems to. I've used it with Skype, and I just tried it on Ustream (I didn't actually stream or record) preview and it looked just fine. Mac OS X 10.7.5 with drive updates.

Everything except the motion/zone stuff doesn't load right without the plugin. Also the in browser stream won't play. Can still set resolution, text/date overlay, and all that for use with your software of your choice.
