The Samsung MediaLive Digital Media Adapter gets a date {Engadget HD}
Nov 30th 2008 10:50PM Recently picked up the Samsung MediaLive Digital Media Adapter and have been using it on my Samsung 46A650 television for about three days. Does a nice job playing multimedia content (pictures/mpeg video) directly from my computer via a wireless connection and the interface is top notch (uses Windows Media Center).
However, I'm very disapointed with the adapter's codec support. First off, it doesn't support flash - so forget about YouTube or .flv videos. Also, doesn't support a whole host of streaming video content (windows media, RayV, etc), which you discover when you try to play video through proprietary services offered through WMC. As for so called Netflix on-demand support....where is that? Using a third-party plugin for WMC, I was unable to get Netflix films to run.
Overall, this unit has lots of potential, but I certainly hope that future software updates will provide better codec support.
