I've checked the permissions, it all seems fine. I've also updated the firmware.

Before I bought this I had done my reserch and had found the article on using the Mac OS X 10.4 with EVA8000 ( http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101683.asp). After getting the the EVA8000, I downloaded the MAC SW from this webpage and I did exactly what the article said but I am not able to see any of my media on my MAC. I am not sure what I did wrong . The MAC entertainer client seems to be able to talk to the EVA8000, but the shares dont seem to work. Has anyone else here been successfull in hooking up the EVA8000 to a MAC ? Any help is appretiated.

Results in that i cant find my movies on my NAS and tap cover etc. Can anyone help me with my problem?

Now I have been able to reliably play all of the above, access YouTube, weather, and the PC itself (although only having a standard def TV makes readability of the screen difficult and accessing email a near impossibility (too bad no provision for zooming in on the desktop for better readability). The one feature that I haven't been able to get functional is accessing my media from my laptop when I am on the road (similar to how Slingboxes work). I can access them when the laptop is connected to my local network, but if I check the IP addr of my router (as it is viewed from internet) and use that to configure Home View in DEW it says that it is unable to find a Digital Entertainer at this address. Does anybody have any idea on how to do this or what I am doing wrong? When I travel to Germany, having access to my home library is essential, since the only program I...

I have played around with running swiss center directly off my nas device but this hasn't worked very well so I have a few questions 1) it says in the documentation that a pc is needed, does this pc run the media databse or is this stored on the eva device? i.e do I have to have a pc always connected for Eva to work 2) can the eva run just by directly streaming from a nas device? I am hoping I can just link the eva to my nas device and stream off there but I need this to be confirmed before i buy one Cheers all Mike Installation and Setup Connecting my Devices Setting up EVA EVA 8000 Fri, 07 Sep 2007 12:53:53 GMT TauBoy http://www.mydigitalentertainer.com/forum/thread/10173/Thinking-about-buying-an-Eva/#discussion?src=forumtopic_rss http://www.mydigitalentertainer.com/forum/thread/10172/My-EVA8000-reboots-when-rescanning/?src=forumtopic_rss After 24h ownership of this product, I have still not tracked down a few errors... 1) The eva8000 absolutely refuses to make an inventory of a shared library on my PC. There are a few hundred media files there but, no... They just aren't possible to see. Is there a hard limit on how many shared folders the eva8000 can keep track of? 2) When rescanning for new media, the eva8000 reboots immediately. Damned irritating. Does anyone have any solutions for this?

This box would be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better if I could browse through RSS feeds (text/audio/video podcasts) and dynamically build a library of content that could be organized by keyword or category. Sort of a combination of iTunes Music Store and EVA interface. Part of my problem with podcasts is that I don't like having to wait for the download in iTunes and I HATE watching streaming video (with all the pixels and hiccups). I added about 30+ RSS feeds to EVA and only 4 actually worked. About half couldn't access the video content (no play button) or it was an incompatible version of the MOV file type. (I will post good RSS feeds to my blog when I create it...probably in August.) To make the EVA an absolute homerun I would add an internal hard drive and some sort of browser/subscription service so I could select and organize my favorite RSS feeds and let my EVA box...
