Question about VLC plugin on Vu+Duo

Hi

I've read a lot about streaming video files from a PC to the VLC plugin on a Vu+ Duo. I'm not really interested in that to be honest.

What I want to do is (1) copy video files from my PC over my home network and onto the Vu+ Duo's internal hard drive, and (2) watch those video files using VLC.

Is this pretty easy to do?

It might be a really obvious question, but I don't have my Duo yet so it's all brand new to me :)

Thanks

You dont need Vlc because you can directly play most of files on vu duo media player.
Also you dont need transfer files from computer - you can share folder and then mount that folder on box (mount cifs).

Thanks Zupy. Can you transfer files though? Because I mainly use a laptop and I don't like to leave it on all the time, energy conservation ;)

I do agree with Steve. I too would like to know how to copy files from an external harddisk onto the internal Vu+ disk.
Same reason too.

In order to tranfer files to your STB you should use FTP Client as Filezilla or similar. That's it.
Anyways, you should introduce yourself in the right section of the Board, first.

Dalraist,
I remember you explaines me how to copy files (movies) from external HD (connected on Vu USB) to internal Vu HD using Telent commands.
This shoud provide the fastest transfer rate.
Can you please remind me those commands once more, I think it would be very useful for many other users.
Thank you

If you need, commando to transfer is:
cp /mnt/usb/filesToTransfer /hdd/targetDirectory
to create directory:
mkdir /hdd/targetDirectory
/mnt/usb depends on where you mounted external HDD.

Shiro's suggestion is good anyways and more intuitive.
