Can Aero play media files?
Yes, the Manhattan Aero plays media in two ways:
- From a USB drive plugged into the Aero’s data USB‑C port. The Media Player app on the Home screen will pick it up. The Aero supports a wide range of common formats including MKV, MP4, MOV, AVI, and others. For full details, see What USB drives and video formats work with the Aero?
- Through Plex, if you have a Plex Media Server on your home network. The Plex app on the Aero will connect to it. See Can the Aero stream from a NAS or my computer? for more
The Aero doesn’t include a built-in DLNA media player, so it can’t browse files on a NAS or computer directly. Plex is the most reliable way to play your own video library on the Aero.
