Thanks for your reply. Well, I was really surprised that it worked seeing as it seemed to struggle with a 4gig USB stick before that. I was just plugging together the hardware that was on hand cos I really can't keep buying more things and having more 'stuff'. Before I even did this I was thinking I might have to put a 'micro PC ' between the HDD and the SBT. Somethng like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221893294449?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT is that what you mean by "similar small computer" ? 'Raspberry Pi' is where I start to do the 'Grrroooaan' thing. It must be useful cos everyone says so but I just don;t know where to start. Having a look online and there's Pi this that and every other bloody thing. I have no idea where to start. It' just a giant jumble to me. Can you link what I would need ? Does it then go between SBT and HDD ? How do I install Max2Play & Logitech Media Server (LMS) on it ? As you see, I have no idea. Anything you can help with is appreciated. thanks. (PS didn't some of the 4 pages in this thread just run a SB with HDD?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ E.Man's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65355 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80516 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
