Will this play files from samba shares?

I have only been able to play AVI and MP4 formats. I wish it played Matroska video files. Using a converter like AVS video converter can convert anything!

It doesn't and you really wouldn't want it to. WiFi has enough trouble reliably streaming media and if both your media server and players use WiFi the quality can take a bigger hit. The same applies for SMB file and printer sharing.

Yes, it will play .wav files from either the internal storage or the microsd card.

IF you do not have a user account that has access to a share on that drive then you will get an error mapping the drive.I thought there was a util;ity built in that would map a drive for you. i hve upgraded to a netgear nas

I imagine you could. I don't recall seeing any specifications stating otherwise. Bear in mind, however, that the product works through a router which needs to be on in order for files to be accessible.

YES, so long as your media player has the right codecs . Windows Media, VLC and Roxio will all open MTS files

Yes it will play any music off any size flash drive. And it shows name, album name ect. So yes.

The P2R 100 does function as a Ftp server. I will say it should work. I was able to setup it up as a ftp server and also as a Samba server

It recognizes and will play content off my 3TB Western Digital drive. YMMV, however, as the manual says it is works with drives UP to 2TB.

No , will play any music ,even from a drag and drop . Don't know the max , but I 've found the larger the drive , the more time it takes to go thru the files

No. You sync files from your windows type media players only. This item of mine only lasted 13 days and died. I have now gone with a Phillips MP3 player which is a remarkable player.

It will play MP4 will always, and it seems to be 75% with RMVB. I am not sure why it will not play all of my RMVB files? but it does play most of them.

You can playback directly from the device. I have uploaded through USB and off the SD Card.

If you're using the WDMyCloud from Western Digital, yes. I have that serving media to all te LGs in my house. I've also played quite a bit of digital content off a USB stick.

Install Arch Linux and Samba and it's a pretty fantastic set up. I have 2 of these setup this way.
