i can't get this thing to work on my windows 7 laptop. my computer detects it, but it does not show up in windows explorer. i cant add any files to it or see whats on the drive. HELP!
@HiNo202 I have one of these but it did not come with any documentation - only a quick start guide. It took TWO days just to find the 'on' switch at the back. So much for plug and play. Now I need to find out how to configure it for wifi. I plug a wifi dongle into the USB port at the front. But when I scan for wifi servers, all I see are the usual local web servers and not the dongle or Screenplay unit. Searching the web for any 'how to' article produces nothing. Not good.
i am using iomega screenplayer DX on Mac. why i can not drag any files to screenplayer folder? and when i click on screenplayer icon, it keep saying " No screenplay device found"
@HiNo202, With Directory you can either connect it directly to the computer via USB or you can connect it to a network and copy files across the network. Like with the Plus, you can also connect flash drives and hard drives directly to the device and play or copy their content.
@iomegachannel Unfortunately that's not true! Screen Play Plus doesn't work eith mac. It works as a read-only. So it's quite useless on a mac, I have to use a usb device to copy from the Mac to the Screen Play Plus.
Is there a way to upgrade the SPP software? Will it read the .mkv file?
i need help!! i have tons of avi movies in my computer and i'd like to store them in one of these things and then play those avi movies on tv with one of those hdmi cables. i found the "iomega screenplay plus HD 1tb". is that one good for what i want? do i need any codecs or whatever that is?
@0casteloencantado0, hey. Sorry if your question has been answered or you already got one, but I got one a few days ago and it plays AVI files on your TV :-)
@0casteloencantado0 Iomega now offers the Iomega ScreenPlay MX HD Media Player which provides you with 1Tb or 2TB of capacity for all your movies. It offers support for many codecs and file formats including .avi. All you would need to do is transfer your files to the ScreenPlay MX or plug in your USB drive with your contect, connect the ScreenPlay MX to your TV and use the remote to watch the movies on your TV.
As I was transerring movies from my laptop to screenplay I heard a grinding noise so I disconnected from laptop. When I put it back on all my files were gone. Does anyone know what to do??
i just got mine broken. Do not know what is going on with it. It seems not to turn on anymore. Maybe a power failure or something.
I am afraid that in the center i got it they are just gonna give me a new one....but i think i´ve lost over 500gb of irrecuperable pics and work data that i uploaded on this drive media
Is creating a folder and inserting the movie and subtitles the only way so the MX can read subs? Thanks
