I have had several home smart TVs (Samsung and LG), as a PS3 and a XBox360, none of these devices played all formats from which I had previously tried or templates. Unlike here this Mediabox. Unlike that just LG TVs often times lose the media server (in my case the media player of Synology) or formats, as just described can not be played are z. B. Video formats with AC3 sound, this box makes all my known formats without interruption from , The uninterruptible Play was also the main reason why I bought etc. besides PS3, Smart TV this box. Even ISO files are played from the box, even ISO files with 3D content are detected and can be played. I own a DiskStation Synology and now this Mediabox from WD and had yet not detract or similar. I play the Mediabox directly via "Windows sharing" the sources, so that no other software as they are needed for. As for television or the PS3 (so-called software-based media player such. B. Twonky etc.). Another advantage of this type of release that any folders can be set up and various contents can not be viewed by others in the household, if the password is unknown. Convinced of the quality and the performance I have yet gained a second. The first box (not ordered from Amazon) I had only one difficulty, which could be remedied by a factory reset. The problem was that the menu was (OSD Menu) is no longer "clean" represented (out of focus and incorrectly) and it could be played from an ISO file no 3D movies more. The box heats up very much, but that has no effect on the operation, at least I have not been able to find. The remote I find aussreichend great here would be improved an extra button for switching on and off, so a for input and one for switching off and not "toggle", because that can be in my learnable Harmony remote while programieren but leads undesirable results. I would buy this box again and can recommend anyone who in any way has difficulty with formats and paused movies!
