Dear fellow Pogo pluggers,

I was wondering if there is an option. I have a BR player from Samsun with an ethernet connection and a USB-connection. Normally you could use that USB to add a HD and play music, pictures and video's directly on your TV.

Does anyone of you know if there is an option to connect the BR-player directly to my videos, pictures and music on my Pogoplug?

Just take your drive with all the files and connect it to your Samsung. Forget about the PogoPlug.....

But what is the use of the Pogoplug than, my aim was to use it as a full network drive on both my laptops and the tv. Does anybody know if there will be a plugin for Samsung tv for example? I notice that there are even apps for the Blackberry now, is it hard to program one for Samung Internet@TV or something...

You should probably check in with the Samsung folks and see if the offer or have any DLNA compatibility. If so you could use it to access the Pogoplug's drive.
You can enable the sharing of the drive. See here as to how http://www.pogoplugged.com/article/13369/How-To-Enable-Pogoplug-Media-Streami...

But you need a player that can access it.

I have a Samsung BR player. In order to share/stream media to it, you have to install an program on the computer that is going to be your media source. You install that program, use it to share whatever folders on your computer you want, and the BR player then sees it and you can select photos/videos/MP3s from there.

OR - you can directly connect a USB device and pick and choose from there.

So unless you can install that program (I'd say no since the pogo is linux based), you can't do what you want. You could try to use the Samsung software on your computer to "share" the mapped pogoplug on your computer and see what happens, but I'm guessing the performance would REALLY be an issue. Why go from your pogoplug, up through the internet to the pogoplug servers, back down to your computer, then through your network to your Samsung when you can just go from your computer directly to the Samsung??? Think about it.
