Readynas media player

Join Now Log In Help. All forum topics Previous Topic Next Topic. I want to use a ReadyNAS as a media player for an elderly relative. She doesn't use computers and doesn't like to use anything that requires a keyboard and mouse. She does have a small media player, which I bought for her, that operates with a remote control similar to a T.

Anything using a mouse and keyboard I'd have to teach her to use. The thing is, since I bought her this media player, I'm constantly having to update her memory stick with episodes of Agatha Christie dramas etc. Might there be a way to plug a ReadyNAS into this type of media player so that I can access a hard drive through this media player via its remote control? Or is it possible to get a ReadyNAS to function in this way I'm not very tech savvy but did build my own P.

Many thanks, Message 1 of 8. Labels: Before You Buy. Me too. I think you meant to say that you want to use the NAS with a mediaplayer?

What model of mediaplayer did you buy her? Message 2 of 8. Boxee box?? Message 3 of 8. So the details on the player will help sort out if this is a good idea or not. Does she have internet service? If so, you could also administer the NAS remotely loading new shows onto it for her, etc. Message 4 of 8.

If your ReadyNAS storage system is not connected to the internet, you can still install apps manually, but must first download them from the ReadyNAS Apps page to an internet-connected computer, then upload the app to the ReadyNAS system.
