Will it play WMV video files?

I do not know. I returned it after I found out it does not play MP4 files without time consuming conversion.

I don't think so. You need to have software to play it like windows media player or I tunes.

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

Not that I know of. If you're looking for programs to convert videos, try either VLC or iWsoft Free Video Converter (if you haven't already). Of the two, I prefer VLC, but since they're both free, they're worth trying out. A tutorial for how to do this on VLC can be found here: http://www.ehow.com/how_5934797_convert-flv-wmv-using-vlc.html (obviously, the source file can be any file supported by vlc, it doesn't have to be flv).

Yes, however; it's not a good media player as it cannot play lot of video format well. I would rather get WD TV Live Streaming Media Player. It will play everything you throw at it really well.

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.

Yes it will play videos from USB. Not sure of the formats, but I think it plays the standards.

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.

It will play all media file types.... As far as the gb capacity, I have mine hooked up to a 1.5TB external hard drive full of audio/video/photo files and it's never had any trouble streaming any of it.

Okay, Paul says that it does, but my product (which Is the black 9.5 inch NS969B) did not play any type of video file, even .avi.

I am pretty sure that the WD player I have plays Avi files. WMV files didn't play though. Do a search for a program that converts mp4, mpeg, wmv, etc to avi or a file that you know the WD plays. The conversion programs are generally free. Good luck.

Yes it'll play them as long as you sync it with the windows media player on your pc

Hello there, I have m2v files that it plays, so I have to assume it can play m4v. There are very few files that this media player cannot play. RealMedia may be the only exception, although I have played RMVB files on it. It does support resume. I have paused it on a video file and I was able to come back to it and pick up where it left off. This is all I know, I hope it was helpful. Take care.

The poster above is incorrect. The USB port can play any video file, provided it is the right audio codec, either AC3 or or MPEG-audio. All you have to do is find a converter. MP42MKVac3 is what I use. This program will convert any video file with AAC audio (which is unplayable on the USB port), to AC3 audio. Use MediaInfo to determine what audio codec the file uses. Good luck!

It is called an MP4 player,but I never could get it to play MP4 files. In fact I had so many issues with this device that it went into the trash. I hope you have better luck.
