When you configure the Nero HomeMedia software that comes with the LG SP520 you configure the add the drive\directory to the media library and start the media server. Then using the remote with the device, you select the Nero mediaServer and go to the video folder to select from the available media files on your system to view. The system does not like some media formats, but I have not found that many. Generally if your video is .avi, .mpg or.mp4 you wont have any problems. I have mostly 1080p video files.

Go to WD site support. It seems simple however there some reviews in the web forums indicating some application in the PC is required.

I have the WDTV in addition to a DLNA media server installed on my D-LINK NAS. I can access all my media wirelessly throughout the house from my PS3 and computers, but my real interest was in watching MKVs, which is not supported by a whole lot of devices. The WDTV is one of the few devices so far that can, so I'm stuck with having 2 devices. The USB port on the NAS is for printer sharing. It is not a data port for reading files from the drive, so my guess is networked hard drives will not work.My wishlist, in order of priority:1) Sony to release a firmware to play .mkv's.2) WD to release a version of this device that is networked so I can read files off my NAS.

Hello-I am desperately seeking assistance with my SA8300HD in use with my WD My DVR Expander. I have been using the expander successfully with this box for about a year and a half. Recently Time Warner "upgraded" my area (Austin, TX) with the Navigator interface. After that all seemed to be lost. I had over 150 shows recorded for future viewing all gone. Multiple calls and emails later I was given contradictory information. First I was told that the SATA port would no longer work for the expander. Today I was told that it could be used but only for storage when the dvr is full. No instructions on how to use it in that manner (to switch recordings to the expander or back again) and of course the usual TW company line about not supporting any issues with the expander. Any low tech information about how this might work or what to do would be truly appreciated. Also I just kind of tripped onto this forum while looking for information so a response to my email address would get the information to me more directly or at least point me back to this forum. I am on my phone typing this and it doesn't show me the url where I got started. Thanks so much in advance, Kathy (ksilb@austin.rr.com)

It sees the content of a 2TB Toshiba external drive I bought. So if you need more storage then use a hard drive and not a thumb drive. The DLNA feature works fine for media sharing. Makes a good little server as well as a router,

There are more port options HDs than there are branded HDs. You would first need to specify which port option you are seeking to connect to.

"...connect an external hd for sharing files..." You were right, thanks for the help!

You can. Not a feature I have tied yet. USB drive seems to be the best answer and of course you would need to set it up in your setup menu.

My guess is you may have a roles & permissions issue with the media player. Is your media player and NAS connected to the same router/switch? Are they within the same network (IP Address wise)? Did you give the media player access to the shares on the Cloud by creating a username and logging into the NAS via the media player? If you answered yes to all the questions, then you might consider contacting the manufacturer for tech support before upgrading. A 4TB NAS/Cloud is nice to have so try to exhausting all your options first.

Hi Danbo, I will try this, yes please also let me know the name of the share ware program you used. Thank you!Marcel.

I appreciate this very much! One of the comments on this hard drive had me wondering if I could hook it in with what I have, so thank you.

Since the time of that post, I got another BD player and it supports DLNA. The problem is the same as I have with my PS3. There's no decent way to skip forward and backward.What I don't know is the cause. I don't expect a solution, and I know the problem is at the server end, but I don't know why the problem exists there.The solution to my problem was to build my own box for about $200. I now have something that's bigger than the WD, but it runs Windows 7 and gives all the streaming options I need, including using Media Center directly. It's not a solution for everybody, and the cost reflected using an HD and optical drive I already had. Since the time of that post, I got another BD player and it supports DLNA.

You need to set up DLNA on your Windows box, then You need a media player that is DLNA compatible

I don't know if you can. If you've had it for some time and it died then it may not be worth trying. Mine died at about the 1 1/2 year point I think it was. I went out and bought another one. My only though is perhaps to hook it up to a regular computer, see if it recognizes the drive and play around from there. I would be hesitant to use it for too long if you can manage to reform it. When it does you get little warning and you lose all the recordings on it.

You would have to replace the two hard drives in the LinkStation with drives that have a larger capacity. Supported drives can be found here: http://www.buffalotech.com/content/files/products/Supported_HDD_List_LS-WXL.pdf You will still need to transfer your old data to the NAS after installing the new drives.

How do you have this hooked up to the unit? If USB, make sure that you don't have an internal drive in the unit. If Ethernet, have you logged on to the NAS? Have you shared the shares? - Does the AIOS have the permissions to see them?
