yeah maybe this belongs in hardware .. but.. bought a new BD player since my old one broke.

it was cheap, had built in wifi, plays mkv through the usb port, can even use external hdd through the usb port .. BUT... fucking thing doesn't recognize NTFS formatted usb keys/drives.

so after all that, not being able to play 4GB+ movies from USB is basically a deal breaker Sad This one was only $70 and the next closest one that does all of this is about $150. And I'll barely ever use the stupid thing but still at least need something that plays discs.

had one, power supply blew and fried the MB ... didn't feel like buying a new one.

Tried to replace it with an apple tv and a BD player. ATV2 is only 720p (and sometimes has streaming issues over wireless), my laptop doesn't have an optical drive, so a half decent BD player with support for my MKVs rounds it all out.

I guess i could always split the mkvs into 4gb but that seems like a pain in the ass :/

hmmm ps3 has wifi and usb and BD... i know u can run Divx and Xvid off it too, not sure about MKvs though. i found a perfectly working computer in my buddy's condo just sitting in a recycle bin of the guest parking lot... took it home its a core2duo with good video card and 6 gig ram... turned it into my home theater unit. but i wanted to get the apple TV stuff too... much simpler setup... but i guess if it has streaming issues i'll research it more. WD has a box too it sounded decent.

Im streaming movies to either my ps3 (yes, I hate to admit it...but I do own a console...with 20+ games that i've never played. Bought it for the Blueray player when it was released) - or Allshare since my telly is a samsung.
That pretty much covers all format I ever need to use.
Too bad that Allshare doesnt really seem to like iso's, but thats not a big deal I suppose.


shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

I believe all bluray players have cinavia so loads would shit out even if you had ntfs support.

Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!

Such a misleading thread title. Expected nouseforaname to describe his experience of shtupping an inanimate object. Sad
