ILoveC4 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 You can connect a HDD to the controller via that USB port. It's primary use is for servicing the unit.I wish I could answer your first question, sorry.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 HELLOHello!today i notic that my Control4 Media Player is not reading some mkv files , this files can be read in my computer true my nass on my network do anyone known why ?I tried to get some blu-rays to play using MakeMKV - it didn't work. Stuttering and drop-outs. They played fine on my pc in VLC, but thats an unfair comparison. I hear other people have success with MKV but my best luck has been with the Video_TS file structure.also, can i conect an hdd drive true the usb port on the Control4 Media Player ? for what thay use for this usb port ?No, I believe this is only for USB upgrade/restore - Matt posted about this a little while back IIRC.

ILoveC4 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Sorry, my mistake. You can't hook a USB drive up to the media player, just to your controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Here it is, straight from the install notes:"Note: There is no way to play from the USB on the Media Player -- this is due primarily to the fact that there is no way for composer to scan a drive connected to the Media Player, plus there would not be a good way to share that content throughout the home. We recommend an Ethernet connected hard drive (NAS)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
