Title: UPnP AV Files
Post by: DanGarion on October 14, 2009, 09:15:26 AM: What file types does the DNS-323 support via UPnP AV?

I can't find a list or any spec sheet on this information on the website or here in the forum.

Post by: DanGarion on October 14, 2009, 07:38:55 PM: Talking about VOB files, will it actually play a whole movie or do I have to play each VOB? So far it seems to only want to play each one and then I have to choose the next....

Post by: ECF on October 19, 2009, 04:42:29 PM: It will play the whole VOB file. If the movie is split into multiple vob files that can be an issue.

Which beta firmware version does mkv and where can I download it from?

What client you running? Mine is via an xbox360. I don't understand how you've been playing mkv files over a year ago when it's (possibly) still in the pipeline of next fw upgrade. Are you sure it's mkv and what fw ver you running?
Title: mkv, UPnp & myihome
Post by: rvp819 on October 24, 2009, 09:26:26 PM: I'm playing mkv files from the DNS-323 to a Popcorn Hour A-110 using UPnP AV server on the 323, but some mkv files don't show up on the PCH when browsing the 323, but the same files on a computer running myihome do show up on the PCH and play fine. Would this be a 323 issue? I'm running 1.08b5 fw.

HDX 1000.

your problem isnt the 323, its the 360.

Yes I suspect it is the 360. So may I ask how do the 1080p mkv blu ray rips run on the hdx1000, any lagg, jerkiness etc? Is it smooth framerates? I may just end up getting one to put myself out of this misery. I was hoping for an all-in-one 360 entertainment unit but it hasn't worked out the way I wanted it.

Post by: the bartender on October 27, 2009, 08:29:44 PM: 360 will play certain media files off of media card, that it wont play over network.

i havent had any problem with any mkv rips, but the NAS and HDX are on the same router (hard wired).
