Is there a way I can stream all my movies to all my devices in any format like avi, mp4, mkv?
Right now i have an external 320gb Toshiba drive attached directly to my Sony Blu-ray player to play my movies. It plays 90% of them with no problems. The ones it can't play sometimes play through my Samsung Smart hub Tv. If that don't work I try to use my xbox 360 and WMC. I have more than 320gb of movies now and need to upgrade. I don't want to store my whole collection on my computer and leave my PC on all the time. I have a Cisco E4200 Router and want to attach a WD External drive to it. I did some testing and My tv doesn't see the router all the time. I guess my question is... can I store all my movies on a 2TB drive and be able to stream them without any problems to all my devices (TV, Blu-ray player, xbox 360)? Do I need special software? Special device? Special drive? NAS drive or will any external drive work? Really confused over here, please help!
