MKV files will play from USB but not from network attached storage...WHY?

I can take the same MKV file and have it play from a USB thumb drive connected to the WD HD Live but the same file will not play (or be recognized) from my NAS. Any solutions?

I am also wondering the same thing.  Because this is what I want to  do if I upgrade to the newer version.

Okay…i found a solution…

If you want to play .mkv files you can play them fron NAS by selecting “video”, then “Network Shares” (not Media Serves)

What NAS do you use to attach to your WD Player?
