Can I play my own videos or media files on the {{shortmodel}}?

No, the short-mod­el does not sup­port play­ing videos from USB devices or stream­ing media over your net­work. This includes:

• Video files stored on USB drives
• Record­ings from oth­er Freeview recorders
• Media stream­ing via DLNA or oth­er net­work protocols

While we under­stand this would be a use­ful fea­ture, sup­port­ing media play­back would require extens­ive devel­op­ment to handle the many dif­fer­ent video and audio formats that exist. For now, the short-mod­el focuses on provid­ing excel­lent Freeview record­ing and play­back capabilities.

If you need to play media files, we recom­mend using a ded­ic­ated media play­er or smart TV apps for this purpose.
