I've had no problems playing IOS supported movie formats on iPad (.mp4) but it was unable to play .mkv and .avi. Are these formats possible to play?

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

My advice is to avoid this whole system entirely. No matter what you do, you can only play jpegs so who needs it? I wanted to be able to display my iPhone/iPad screen.

Think of it this way. Any format your iphone can play (mp4 for example), this unit can handle. So, you cannot, out of the box, stream an avi file to your iphone from it. You must convert the avi to mp4 first. Not because the drive can't handle avi, but because the phone can't. If you need a converter check out Smart Converter for Mac.

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.

No. The file, audio or video, must be in a format acceptable to play on the iPad, which is sent to the OnBeat Xtreme by bluetooth. There are many many many audio and video files the iPad will play, but it won't play ALL of them. Turn it up!

No, only the air play app on iPhone will work. I tried to use amazon video, and it didn't work.

It is compatible with Mac. You have to use iMovie to play it, but if you want to edit, you have to buy converter app. It is not mv4 formatted. I haven't used it since the Yosemite OS update, so iMovie may not work with it anymore. That's an easy fix, though. There are a bunch of converter apps that are able to convert the video to mv4. I use it in clinical practice and also in helping people to prepare for job interviews or public speaking engagements. It's a great tool!

ITunes stores these as M4V files (movies) - how do you use the wifi to play them on your ipad? Can this alone let you stream movies or do you need another software to stream or do you have to convert out of the MPEG-4 Video File (.m4v) format to another to stream movies?I think some people are buying these to expand the otherwise fixed memory of an ipad so if you can't stream this is not going to work for us.

The native video player can handle .wmv, .3gp and .mp4 for certain.I'm not sure about the rest, but I installed Moboplayer (free in Google Play Store) and stopped worrying about video format. Not great with HD, but it is an older device.Hope this helps!Yes, it supports 16:9 aspect ratio. It is a tablet best used landscape.

I have had the same problem. Plays iTunes videos only as far as I can tell. Unless I'm missing something, if you want to play Amazon videos, for instance, you're out of luck.

I have been able to play .mov, .avi, .mkv .jpg and mp3 files.So far I haven't found any video files that it won't play.It has played on the TV and any computer connected to my network.

Short answer is yes. However the AVI support is somewhat misleading, as it will only play videos encoded with MjEPG. As most cameras do not use this codec, you will need to convert the video file before adding it to the frame. Here are some instructions http://www.fixya.com/support/t1391643-pandigital_7_photo_frame_play_video#bmb=1

It's just a streamer for your storage. If your device can play .mov files, you should be fine.

I did not try .iso files, however it has had no problem playing .mov,avi,MP4,mkv or divx files. For the price the unit works really nice.

Yes you can, it came preinstalled with xbmc which can play .mkv files natively. Or if you choose you can download an app like MX player from the okay store which can play .mkv files

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!

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