Send an email to support@pogoplug.com and let them know the issues you're having. I'm able to stream mp4 video files perfectly fine on my network with the same model that you have.

OK so the 4 is running slower than my Pro.
Also, I can't even stream a MP4 video on my home network much less accross the internet.
I'm starting to think this one wasn't even worth the discount.

I already emailed the techs and Christopher. No word back yet.
Also, it takes two to three minutes for the files to show up on my computer. It clocks everytime I try to see the files. I have a Pro and it opens the files pictures or videos right away. I have done all the steps to my sata drive and stilll nothing. Also does this with my USB thumbdrive and USB ext drives.
I have all gigabit connections and have even run my Pro wireless without any issues.
JJ I'm glad your 4 works for you. I post here due to getting a quicker reply from Christopher or one of the Pogoplug techs.
So as of now the 4 is worth nothing to me. I can't use it.

So after talking with Christopher at Pogoplug today I am still with a useless Pogoplug 4. All he did was open another help desk ticket. And change the name of my Pogoplug? I still can not stream video and getting to files takes way too long. Also, the Pogoplug browser is way to slow when trying to move files. I gave up and plugged my SATA drive into an eSATA port and the other drive from my Pogoplug Pro to a USB.
Now I am suppose to watch a streaming video while capturing data from the Pogoplug? Also my Pogoplug 4 was 2 versions behind of the correct firmware. The thing just got released.

What are the differences between the series 4 and the original Pogoplug? I'm trying to decide if it's worth the upgrade but the pogoplug website doesn't really say what's so great about this new version.

@ John H - It's got 2 USB 3.0 ports and a SATA port so connectivity-wise, it's an upgrade. As far as the ram and processor, I'm not sure what the differences between the older model and this one are...been trying to get a straight answer about that for a few days now...

Just tried a video on my older Pro. Took 16 seconds to start and no stutter. The 4 too 21 seconds and stutters on the video.

Here is some under the hood info from the guys over at Archlinux|Arm. Looks like it's got a slower processor and less memory.

@WarheadsSE - So after looking over all that information on the Archlinux pages, it seems to me as though, hardware-speaking only, the Pogoplug Pro is the best device that CE has released, correct?

Pogoplug Pro and Pogoplug V3 (P21).
In resume, if u want the best pogo plug is to get those ones, to open the pogo and to get a data to esata cable, and connect it to a eSata Harddrive.
That would give you the best results within in all the pogo plug options available.

Over all simplest to use & understand, if you can get your hands on them, are the GoFlex Net. Not quite as performance as the oxnas based ones (P01, P21, P25, B01/2/3/4) but easier to get to the SATA, and includes WFS.
