Will I be able to add new files from my computer to the external hard drive attached to the Micca Media Player using the LAN?

Yes, you can map a network drive letter to your Micca harddrives, both internal and external, and easily transfer your media files to them from across your network.

Yes. Definitely. I have successfully transferred a number of photos, music, and movies to the MICCA over the LAN; however, it doesn't play well with HD's over 2TB.

Yes. Just connect your Micca to your PC via USB cable and it will appear as a new external hard drive.Copy and paste using Windows Explorer or any File Manager of your choice.A slower option will be activating Samba on your Micca; but is a little bit more complicated to explain now. I did it once and worked.It is easier the USB option.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

Hi Bruce, if your network hard-drive have a DLNA feature, yes you can play your vídeos e photos remotely. There a lot of APP with DLNA feature.

I suspect the answer is it depends on what you mean when you say "connect" - I have mine directly connected to a Mac Mini, however I also have it shared out on my home network so all of the clients on my network (to include non-MACs) are "connected" to my LaCie drive. Hope that helps.

YES, if you use MSC mode. The player just acts like a flashdrive or portable harddrive. Drag and drop/ copy and paste (whatever the Mac users call it... ) your files. Some of the players don't have the newest firmware to begin with, so you'd have to update it w/ a Windows computer One Time then be a'right.

Yes, you can map as many network drives as you like and have access to each one separately. If you want to use the media juke box it will have a separate juke box per network share unless you use the NMJToolbox software on a desktop to make the juke box show media from multiple shares.

You can add hard drives, but you cannot use this device for a locally-shared network-attached device. It's only useful for getting to files over the internet, like, for example, from your hotel room and you want to watch movies you might have stored on the device.

I use this one: Nu USB 2.0 10 Port Hub (with Power Adapter). I have attached 8 external drives ranging from 1TB to 3TB on this hub. This USB hub works well, and I guess any USB hub will work with the Micca.

Yes. For example, I have my NAS adapter attached to 3.5-in laptop hard drive that is in an external case which only has a USB port. Follow the instructions and format the portable storage using the NAT adapter utility. By default, it creates 3 folders for you: Music, Photo, and Video. Plus there is a Media Server utility. So, again, I would have to say, yes.

Use another player that supports Samba,such as NPlayer. You can play almost any format. Just click on network options and choose SMB and connect the app to the media server. User ID is admin and password blank as default. Enjoy

short answer: maybe. can you attach an external drive? yes. it however will only be as functional as the app you plan to use. you may be able to view video content or pictures through media player but you could only write a file if there is an app that allows it. windows rt is very limited and only allows you to use windows apps. so if there isnt an app that allows you to read/write data then no, you wont get much functionality out of it.

I am sorry those file formats are not supported by the player. In order to get the files to work you will have to recode them based on the instructions provided here:http://content.miccastore.com/node/189I apologize for the inconvenience.Manny

Yes. This drive connects directly to your computer using a USB port. A different kind of drive, called Network Attached Storage (NAS) plug into a switch or router, and could (for example) be accessed wirelessly from a tablet - without your computer at all. These USB drives don't have that kind of support yet. It is possible to plug this drive into other hardware that isn't a 'computer', such as a media server in your entertainment center. The media server would take the place of a computer. (Actually, media servers are computers nowadays, just as TVs and tablets are.) Of course, whatever you want to plug it into will need to support the newer USB 3.0 standard. Yes. This drive connects directly to your computer using a USB port.

Yes sir, assuming you have iTunes, Windows Media Player, or some other player installed on the machine to which this drive is cabled.

You can. My drive was formatted NTFS via usb and i connect to my Mac via Firewire 800 with no problems.

I am just about 100% certain that you cannot plug this directly into a computer. It's not a mass storage device like any kind of external hard drive. If the three different workstations talk to each other on the network, might as well have them talk to the Synology NAS (Network Attached Storage) using the network.

it should, its essentially a tiny remote drive, the file system can only be viewed in a browser tho, then its just a matter of dragging and dropping to your desired folder
