thecodeman Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I had posted this information elsewhere when the product launched but it seems that data is no longer on the page and isn't readily available elsewhere. So, in case anyone has one of these or is just curious as to what it will and will not play, here's the list of compatible formats. Control4 may or may not issue firmware updates to the device which may or may not affect the information below. We know about the shortcomings and lack of updates thus far - this thread is not intended to be a place to "beat a dead horse", just informational to help people who have the device.File extension Video Format Audio Format HDMI Audio Support?

drmark12pa Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Does this mean that a person can use the HC200 or HC300 to play media such as an ISO over your network with video and audio? I thought that only audio can be played through the HC200/HC300...I'm new to Control4 so still learning what can and can't be done.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This table is for Control4's Media Player.http://control4.com/residential/products/av/media-player/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmark12pa Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ahhh... I didn't know they had such a product....Currently, I'm using the Netgear 9150 for streaming but it looks like this may perform identically. Any idea on cost for the unit and any opinions on how it compares to a unit such as the Netgear 9150? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it's already spread out around multiple threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
