I have been trying to make my FVP4000T work with my NAS (QNAP TS-251+) and have a few questions which I haven't been able to answer by searching this forum or checking the manual. Here goes:
1) File Transfer
Is it possible, and if so how, to copy files FROM the FVP to my NAS over the network to which they are both attached? If I try and use the + key and select Copy then the FVP says no device is attached. Presumably it's expecting a USB to be plugged in. Can files be transferred over the network.
In a similar vein, how can I transfer files TO the FVP? I've tried setting up a FTP session on the NAS and although I can see Media and Recordings folders on the FVP I get an error when trying to copy anything to them.
2) Connect FVP to NAS by USB
Rather than use the existing network connection I thought I'd try USB so I got a USB cable to connect from the FVP USB port to the NAS USB port. Unfortunately they don't seem to be able to see each other. I've checked the cable by plugging a USB memory stick onto one end and each device can see it but they can't see each other. Any ideas?
3) Invalid File Format when playing videos
Using the Media Centre on the FVP I can access the NAS and see the video files I have stored on it. However everything I try and play produces an Invalid File Format error on the FVP. What file formats CAN it play?
4) Multiple copies of NAS displayed
In Media Centre on the FVP, when looking for a source my NAS appears EIGHT(!) times. Why would that be?
That's probably enough for now. One final thing, I realise that whatever connection I can make I will never be able to play any HD recordings from the FVP on my NAS due to the encryption of them. It never used to be a problem with my old HDR Fox T2 with its custom firmware but that's now gone to the great electronic scrapheap in the sky sadly. Thanks.
