This looks like a great product but I am looking for something to use in a mountain cabin (with an internet connection). The ideal situation would be if I could upload (not stream) avi files from home to the remote drive (WD Live Media Player) via the Internet before I head up there.
You could expose your WDTV to the internet, and share a drive attached to it, but you’d be taking a big risk, because ANYONE in the world might be able to access it…
Heck, I for one am just amazed that you have internet access in a mountain cabin. :)
You could use a WD NAS drive such as the World Book Edition plugged to your internet connection at your cabin ( direct LAN or via a router) in conjunction with the Media Live.
This external drive is accessible remotely via the internet from anywhere in the world. You can drop any file in it even your AVI files .
Yeah, it’s bad enough moving data over my 100Mbit LAN, trying it via internet would require a serious time investment; your holiday could well be over before you saw even half the files you want! :D
Load up an external HDD with all your media prior to the trip and take that with you.
Safest and easiest way to access media using the WD TV.
