Hi All,
I've been recommended to sign up here and put my question to you.
In my lounge, I have a HDTV and wireless router sitting right next to it.
In my office, I have my laptop which is wirelesslly connected to my router.
I have many large MKV files (>4GB) on my laptop and would like to be able to play them on my HDTV when my laptop is turned off.
Therefore, I would like to send them to a harddrive which is wired to my wireless router.
I had a look into NAS, and found that as my files are greater than 4GB, I would not be able to use them with a NAS. This is because NAS drives can only be formatted in fat32 (NTFS is required for files greater than 4GB)
So is there such thing as a media player which contains a NTFS HDD, which can be wired to a router and have large MKV files sent to it over the network?
If I've not been clear with my requirements, just say so and I'll try to explain more clearly.
All help much appreciated.
Andy
