Just a quick blog on this, since I’ve not done exhaustive testing yet, but the new Humax Freeview HD recorder talks happily to my Synology NAS for network media playback.
More to test later, but success with Xvid (including a ‘problem’ file that my Panasonic TV won’t play), DivX, DivX HD, WMV HD, VOB files (eg from DVDs), and AVCHD .mts files.
Also seems happy to play back some of my other HD test streams including .trp files, and .ts, but no luck with MKV so far.
