Hello, looking for some community support and opinions:
I just got the DNS-321 to use primarily to watch videos on Xbox, and secondarily for sharing files between my wife and I, back-up, and eventually to run as a RAID device. Today was the first day playing around with it, and I'm trying to decide whether to return it. I'm looking for the answer to these questions:
1) Is it a fact of life for the DNS-321 that some of my pre-existing video files will not play via Xbox? I tried loading my collection of videos shot on cell phone, camera, edited and saved in AVI, and other videos on the Xbox and got the dreaded "Status Code 69-C00D36BE" which means they won't play.
2) Is there a tried and true format to convert them to to make them work on Xbox via the DNS-321? They worked fine when I was using a regular old USB drive.
3) Is refreshing the UPnP AV Server mandatory every time I add a new file in order for it to show up on Xbox? I have a 2 TB drive in the DNS-321 (with only 100 GB of data on it), and the refresh takes about 3 hours, and the idea of manually refreshing each time I add a video seems counter-intuitive.
I recognize that the Xbox streaming functionality isn't the primary function of the DNS-321, and everything else I've tried on the device works great, but Xbox video streaming is my primary function, so I'll need to return the DNS-321 and try again if it's not going to work out.
Thanks!
