So I bought something so stupid that it cannot even do a simple file transfer across a network. Well, that's wonderful, isn't it. I can't believe it, however.
It would seem that they are running something in there and I would think it is some form of *nix. That is what I have elsewhere and it is able, with the assistance of a plugin to do the needed function. It is very difficult to believe that a device capable of connecting to internet URL : port combinations, take care of conversing with them and reproducing analog audio fit for humans from digital audio cannot give control over to an SMB machine do a simple file read to get data from a file. What is inside the box? It handles SSH. Another pointer to a *nix flavor. I do have a couple of Duo Pro's but neither has the audio files I want to access. I could reconfigure, I guess. Difficult! As an alternative, it surely would be nice to have the server code run on Synology DiskStation. Then I would have what I need without taking a few weeks to move data all around. Oh, well... I thought I paid enough to have something useful. It seems not. Oh, the Mvix Ultio I mentioned (which easily gets and displays many types of video files to a TV screen as well as displaying jpeg files and playing multiple types of music files) cost 1/2 of what this completely stupid (per above response) device cost. Got screwed buying it, apparently!!!
