Install customised firmware on your Humax Foxsat HRD. Good tutorial on YouTube by The Rastro Bristolean. Once running install MediaTomb and TwonkyMedia on the platform. Just leave them there, no need to interfere with them.
On a pad or phone, go to PlayStore and download mconnect player lite. Once installed fire it up. Click on browser. As part of your local media you will see your computer, MediaTomb and TwonkyMedia. click on one, your video files will come up. Click on a video file. It will ask you which player you want to use. On my Android pad I have a few players installed. I clicked on VLC. I was expecting the worse.--------But wait for it. RESULT, IT WORKED. I didn't try this on an Android phone, I'll let you test this out.
I hope you find this posting useful, and I hope by trial and error you will be able to follow it.
Now at School I was always bottom when it came to English. But it has never held me back.
I'm like a dog with a bone, I put the time in and I usually get there. As an example of this I downloaded seven network media player to my Android pad, in turn I fired them up, most I couldn't make head or tails of so in turn I deleted them, then I found "mconnect" what a gem, how simple-------so to all keep it simple.
And to everybody stop the put downs, most of us just want a little encouragement.
Most of the time us newbies, don't know what you experts are talking about. (half the time, I don't know what I'm talking about)
Maybe my post wants expanding on. Well. I'll leave it up to you. I've done my bit.
As an afterthought. Download Twonky player from Android Play Store. Fire this up, as above it will see the same folders and video files.. and will throw them to your smart TV how good is that. Like me the old Foxsat is getting a bit long in the tooth, but new technology and applications have come to it's rescue.
