Cool.

Btw, the bundled wireless mouse us it an air mouse? I mean the one with gyro and accelerometer like smartphone?

Also can this player controlled by android smartphone? How about file sharing and streaming (from smartphone)?

Sorry for so many question.

Sorry bro, just typical wireless mouse.

As I know, standard Android OS do not have remote access function. Anyhow, you have triggered very good idea, I will check if remote access apps available for Android such as VNC, PCAnywhere and etc. I need to explore this before answer you.

File sharing and streaming is not a problem just need the appropriate apps.

I'm asking because there is another android player which got an aps for this 2 function, but priced higher. It allows a lot of possibilities.

Since you have experience in Media Player, the Android Apps will be the added features which you do not have in the traditional Media Player :-)

Will test also the playability of the various format of video/audio I got. Already ordered hdd dock for sata.

For NAS, I recommend using vplayer upnp apps. Set the NAS media server to enable. The player support most format, except subtitle (srt).

Thank you bro for the info sharing, I am not sure Buffalo NAS support media server, but generally all NAS support Samba and NFS. ES explorer is straight forward to access without configuration at NAS server.

However if the NAS support media server, it will be added advantage to explore media streaming instead of file sharing.

I'm actually using buffalo linkstation NAS. Just make sure wi-fi is fast enough for streaming, else will get lag especially when fast forward. All Share apps and also Vplayer will sometimes unable to find shared file (maybe apps got bug) but ES explorer got no problem at all.

Btw, please don't have high expectation for buffalo nas. It is slow. Even slower when multiple user access the nas at the same time, up to a point even sd video will lag.

I recommend using xbmc apps for media player. Got really nice feature such as artwork/cover downloader and also subtitle downloader. With artwork, your media library will be really nice. And this app also got audio passthrough.

Actually, processor speed not the most important factor. I've tried running xbmc on a raspberry pi with only 750mhz processor playing full hd movie and it works fine. Just make sure the hardware/software support audio passthrough because decoding hd audio takes a lot of cpu power.
