Does it work well as a bittorrent client on the cloud? I want to start BT downloads and watch downloaded movies from my Android phone remotely.

The Pogoplug Series 4 is capable of downloading torrents, but I would not recommend it. As far as watching movies remotely, unless you have sufficient upstream bandwidth (>3MBps), you will be frustrated by all the buffering of the video stream on your mobile device.

I have only streamed from an attached external hard drive. This works just fine.

From what I understand you can download without a PC. But I have not attempted it. I used it mainly to stream movies from a memory card to my iPad. Wish I could be more help.

I use it with vlc, for instance if you want to watch channel 5 then start vlc like this "vlc -f http://192.168.1.3:5004/auto/v5.1?dlna&qu;ot; use command in between quotes. I am actually using linux but there is know reason it shouldn't work with IOS. Also there is a HDHOMERUN App you can get for 90 cents that works with IOS.

Not at all. But i installed it by myself. Do not expect normal work of video on XBMC (95%), but maybe you will find a good version... Also this device is rooted, and i made a little damage to system, but it steel works. I use it for online video and serfing. I will recomend device only for entusiast, not for people without experiance of working with Android.

Have had no issues. Wish the Web interface to control it worked better in android browsers, but it gets by. Would I recommend it, hard to say without knowing your needs. I you need functioning, easy, inexpensive video access to an area of your house. Yes I would. Happy you with my choice

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.

Yes, I have two of these and they work with an Android app remotely - setup is a little tricky if you don't read instructions - but if you do read the instructions carefully it's easy.

You do not need cloud service. This is a wireless device that connects to a hub device which uses a proprietary protocol for communications, no IP Address. The hub connects to your private network via Ethernet cable. You can control it via a webpage from the hub or an app for your phone. Not to impress with the web interface and how one sets up devices, does not seem very well thought out, my opinion though.

I have OsmAnd for my android phone because I'm often in mountain areas without 3g. It's completely free, and although it's more "beta-esc" than most, it gets the job done.

I have tested Netflix video from my Android tablet with no issues. Music from the same device is also not an issue and works great. From my Chromebook is a problem, stuttering etc.

I use vMeyeCloud app on Android to connect to my 8ch DVR. The quality of the app and the service is quite low, but it works sometimes.

I have a Roamio Plus and have been able to stream to my Android devices. It works on Wi-Fi (in my case with MoCA) and is best on the same subnet. I have mine on a different subnet and it works acceptably. I can also stream over the Cellular Network that I use.

I used the Torque paid version. you need to pair the BT device to your phone first then open the app. I also used the free version too and it worked with my Galaxy tab and S3.

I'm no tech wizard. But if you can place a file on a hard drive , be it music, video or data you can access it through your chosen tool tablet etc and play it. It's just a hard drive with a router built in. So effectively it is a cloud of sorts. Just have to put music files on there in a compatible format for your tablet to access and play them.

Hmm, why would you use ftp? This is a streaming device, just to send SD video over IP. Nothing else...

That is the best marketing point of this BT speaker market! Can you tell me:1. If you have connected other self powered speakers to this unit and a call comes in, what is the behavior of the other connected speakers (can you here the conversation through them as well)?2. Is this unit capable of simultaneous BT pairing (e,g. Smartphone and PS3)?

Hi Joel, I was looking to do the same thing and the My Cloud has been a great solution. Would recommend that if you're going to move massive amounts of music to your My Cloud then you do it from a computer that has a Ethernet connection to your home network vice a wireless connection....it's way faster that way. Hope that helps
