IIRC they stutter with .m2ts streams, 720p/1080p MKV rips work fine though (standard scene releases).

Whittie, there's a guide on the NMT forums, or google YAMJ SMB guide along with the version of PCH you have and it should come up - or youtube

Really? I would have said ALDI myself.

Maybe Netto?

I could actually do with something like this. I download films/programmes on the laptop, put them on external HD and watch them on PS3... but certain file types dont work anymore.
With something like this, would i be able to plug the HD into it and watch all file types through it?
Im assuming this is what it does?

its REALLY easy to use as standard Jas.
add a network share on your C200 and you can play the videos no problem via the text menu browsing through folders.

setting up YAMJ to scrape is slightly more complicated.
so to confirm, you want to store the videos on a hard disk on the C200?

I have a 1TB hard drive to install

I want to fill this with the files I already have downloaded and add additional files as I acquire them.

Im not sure what the YAMJ is...skins?
