Can I view media files stored on an external hdd connected to a wifi router

Hi there, been searching but most the discussions seem quite old. I have a wifi router with a usb port for connecting an external hdd to. My ps3 will see the hdd but can I also get my iPad/iPhone to view the media files store on the hdd. Are there apps I need or settings I need. I currently use air video to stream from my pc but I am about about to change my pc for a laptop which will not be connected to an external drive constantly. Which is why I want to connect my hdd to my router, plus save on electric to run my desktop constantly.
So is it possible?
What do I need?
I'm a bit of an idiot so any settings I may need would be gratefully received too lol
Its an o2 wireless box 4, 500gb external hdd currently ntfs file system. I do not have apple tv either.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can give

8player does it, haven't tried it for a full episode yet but seems stable, plug hdd into router and open 8player on your device, browse to router and attached hdd and play the file. avi and mp4 work no prob and there is a lite version if you want to try it out yourselves

    Can I access my files stored in the hard disk connected to airport extreme when i am away? How?

    You can't technically. iPads cannot directly read HDDs like a computer can. 
    You will need an app liie FileBrowser to do this. Of course all file operations will be done through the App itself.

  • Can't view media files in PDF with Adobe Reader

    I've got a PDF that has some video and audio media in it, I've installed the latest Flash Player and Adobe Reader and I still get the message about not having the proper "Media Player" for it. When I click the "Get media player" button, it doesn't do anything, like the link it goes to is broken.
    I've tried viewing the PDF on a friends laptop that has Macromedia Flash 6 and it works fine there, so why won't it work with the latest software?

    Hellow my friend , I had that problem and after headache I solved it .. the point is to download (adobe flash player for IE) not the other versions , so when you redirecting to flahs player download page just make sure to change system version; that mean to click (Need Flash Player for a different computer?) ,then select your operating system, then select version (Make sure to choose flash player 14 for internet explorer ) .... It will work very well >> u can follow the captured images I have attached .

  • How can I view media files

    This Topic has been Moved for correct placement

    I think, that you cannot view just songs after upgrade to P4S. I have the same problem and it is really annoying because I was used to Nomad Explorer. The best you can do is to download MediaSource where you can at least change artist and album in more songs at once.
    (this wont change tags, to do this look here: http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=dap&message.id=64273&query.id=805 #M64273)
    When you want to see individual songs you have to move them to library (also MediaSource because Windows Media Player is really strange).
    But I think you just have to get to use to this system...

  • Viewing media files via Bridge files

    I can't seem to view media files like photos, music or vids via Bridge files - what am I doing wrong?  I can view docs and pdfs but no media files like the pictures that I take on my BB.
    The message that I get is "There are no files that can be opened in this application".

    Now you can see only docs and pdfs.

    Hi Antônio G,
    Based on your description, I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue, since this forum is to discuss:
    Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    To make this issue clearly, would you mind letting us know more information about this issue? Which language are you using? Which kind of app are you developing?

  • How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
    Available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

  • How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
    Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?

  • Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • Can't view pdf files in gmail (OS 5.01)

    Since I have installed OS 5.1 I can't view pdf files in my gmail account. I can view them on yahoo (same email) or with the previous OS.  I just download 5.01 a week ago so I am not sure if I missed something for settings or if I need to change something because my search has not discovered anyone else having an issue. 
    Thanks!

    Yes, I can view emails it is the PDF files I can't download or view.  In OS 4 I could touch the attachment and it would open up, now when I touch the attachment it just tries to download.  This is for all PDF files in gmail.

  • After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    After downloading a pdf from a website, how can I view the file in Safari 6.0.4 (just as I can in Safari 5.0.6)?  I bet that it's simple, but I've missed something, somewhere, and a solution will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello Kirk,
    Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution.  Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document). 
    When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do).  Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want.  The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
    Any other suggestions, please?

  • How Can I View DVD Files?

    My guitar instructor shoots a short video (usually 5min or less) at the end of every lesson to help me review what we learned.  While these DVDs play just fine on my iMac, I'd like to copy them sometimes over to my iPad so I can view them when I'm travelling.  I can handle copying them over to my iPad, but have run into a major stumbling block: 
    When I open the double click the DVD on my desktop, it opens a Finder window.  (Good so far!).  But, the Finder window is empty (not so good!). It shows zero items in the status bar.  Obviously, there are files there, as the DVD plays just fine...I'm just not able to view them.
    Any idea what I need to do in order to view the contents of the disk in order to convert the video over to my iPad?
    I'm attaching a couple of files so you can see what I'm seeing:
    The above Finder window is what I see after double clicking the DVD on my desktop.
    When I Get Info about the DVD, I see the below information:
    Any idea what's going on, and what I need to do?

    Barny,
    Thanks...I must be getting old!  I'd tried a couple of DVD ripping software apps I had laying around, and neither worked.  Thinking there must be something else I need to do, I posted this question.
    After reading your answer, I went back and looked (closer!) at my applications, and realized I'd forgotten all about RipIt.  I launched Ripit, and it was able to rip the DVD (and compress it for playback on my iPad) with no problem.
    It's still disconcerting that I can't view any files on the DVD in the Finder, but it is what it is, I guess.
    Thanks again for jogging my memory!

  • Can't view .mov file with quicktime

    Hello. I need help viewing a .mov file with Quicktime 7.5. It was recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder and given to me on a dvd. But when I try to view the .mov file with Quicktime, I can hear the audio but the screen is black. Sometimes, it asks me to continue to the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=Windows&ctype=696d64 63&csubtype=69636f64
    I'm not that computer savvy - what is wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Sorry. My "then" (above) should have been "they".
    They sent you a data DV containing the "source" from the camera and the HDV codec isn't available on your PC so you can't view the file.
    Ask the authors to convert the file using H.264 Video codec (or others) so your Windows version of QuickTime can play the file.
