That always seems like what the American market has...lesser functionality than that of Europe.. DLNA would have been sweet. NO, this player will NOT play MKV. Playback from USB is ONLY mp3 or jpeg. It probably would not recognize NTSC format HD with USB. Seems to be FAT 32 memory sticks only for USB, but not sure. It won't even play Divx from dvd-r or dvd+r disks (even though my manual says it can play divx). The player itself doesn't brand the "Divx" label on it, and it's not a Divx Certified player. It claims to be able to play AVCHD, but I burned an AVCHD to dvd-r and it did not play.. It seems this is just a bluray player with possible mp3 and for sure jpeg picture play back (it does play jpeg pictures). Would it have broke their bank to add it? Talk about cheap ass corporate companies..save 4 dollars and 15 cents to not include Divx playback! Well..maybe 6 dollars and 23 cents..not sure really. :D

With the most recent update, I can now access music on my Western Digital My Cloud. So yes, it will stream from certain NAS drives. Check first with Bose to see which are compatible as not all are.

Yes, you can play any MPEG encoded movies, Windows AVI format movies from this drive.

Yes pretty much anything USB or SD will work. However I tried hooking up my external hard drive and it took so long to load I gave up. Although my HD is like 400gb so that's most likely why. But I've never had issues putting like 20 movies on a flash drive and playing them. Watch out for the file type tho, MKV files won't work

Can you plug an HD Antenna into the back with a USB dongle & watch local over-the-air channels?- I have not tried it, but I don't believe so.Can it see/browse video files on a network NAS?- Yes. It was able to see my SaMBa share without any problems and play the videos there.

Yes. I've been watching MKV format for a while. Make sure you got the most update firmware.

Yes you can. However, it might not if you format the thumb drive to a different format. e.g. FAT32 versus NTFS or whatever?

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

Yes, it will play from a Fat32 formatted 8GB(max) usb drive stick, with standard mp3's(it will support at max a 256bitrate mp3)

Simple answer: No. The unit does not have 1) hard disk reading software/hardware (those are complex and built into computer operating systems) nor, 2) a movie decoder built into it. It will play a few audio formats (MP3, AAC, M4A), however, from thumb drives, but it does NOT play ANY VIDEO from sources connected to its USB ports.

I can play video and music directly using the HDMI connection to the TV. I can't say about any specific format. The MKV files I used run just fine.

Yes it can. It will play movies and videos right from your stick or usb hard drive. Plays formats like avi,mp4,dvix,xvid,matroksa,wmv,flv and much more.

This doesn't "play" anything. It is a storage device, like any thumb drive or hard drive. If your device is able to access the files you store on the RAVPower FileHub, and that device is able to play .mov files, then you can watch them on your device.

Of course you can play any AVI directly from an USB pen drive... works perfect!!!I only have a doubt, have anyone tried to play any AVI from a portable Hard disk (USB 2.0) ?
