    Can't play movies from Gauntlet Node

    Hi Thank you very much for your reply. It is a Galaxy tab 2 7 inch. Android 4.0.4 I have used Slysoft to rip my movies onto a hard drive it does this without changing anything on the file so the files will be exactly as they were put on the disc minus REC etc. The funny thing is when I saved...

    Nexus 7 and streaming movies from HDD

    It's probably my misunderstanding sorry. I thought the max I could import to the device was 32gb less os etc which would be too little for me. You must have meant something else. My misunderstanding of what you were referring to sorry.

    Nexus 7 and streaming movies from HDD

    Hi I have had a look and it looks like an excellent solution to my problem without having to root and cheaper than going for ssds. Just one thing can I download from it to the Nexus. Thank you very much for your help.

    Nexus 7 and streaming movies from HDD

    The DVD Catalyst sounds like a winner as I am currently ripping my collection onto HDD without downsizing. If I could buy a 128GB SSD and stick a load of the movies on that it would be the answer to my travel problems. Would stick mount work with an SSD without the need to root?

    Nexus 7 and streaming movies from HDD

    You hit the nail on the head. I'm looking for something a little less conspicuous and with a better battery life than my computer. I wouldn't even get one movie out of the battery power on my computer. I have a couple of battery boosters which would probably work with the Nexus but not my...
