...I'm thinking about buying a DP-H1 & connecting it to a Dpp-1

....I have a pp-1 with an external hd full of dvd movies in signal 4 to 5gig vobs & I was wondering if I connected the Dpp-1 to DP-H1 via a ethernet cable could I watch these movies & have the same limited control when using them with the DP-H1 & it's remote.....

................I don't have a network @ the moment & the thought using of the Dp-h1 to view & control my movies on the DPP-1 with the Dp-h1 in another location is very appealing....

................I checked the Bwiz forum but there are no answers to this specific Q there....... it mainly discusses playing back bwiz recorded files this way ...

................ I've tried to sign up on 2 ocassions but as yet have been unable to post

.....Any answers or posts would be appreciated............

Seems there is a bug with recordings longer than 1.5 hours streamed to the H1 from an external HDD attached to a P1 or S1. Check Bug (f)

DP-H1 1.05.192 Bug List and Wish List

.....Thanx for the quick answer diesel

........does this mean that you can stream these files (vobs) between the dpp1 & dp-h1.... as it wasn't clear wether they were talking about bwiz files or Vobs....

......the 1.5hr crash is also disapointing & I'd read that before also........

Simple answer would be to unplug the external HDD from the P1 and plug it into the H1 - no streaming required.

...and I think the alternative (streaming over ethernet) requires at least a router to handle the ethernet traffic. Sounds like the OP wants to simply plug a cable between the P1 and H1, which I don't think will work.

Someone pls correct this if I'm wrong.

wouldn't a cross-over etherenet cable work?
