Can I transfer a movie via ftp to my Vu+ Duo and use the box as a DVD player?

If so, where do I ftp the file(movie)?


Thanks

My VU+ Duo is playing every Xvid and Divx I've thrown at it - only it doesn't render some files especially good.

Over the network. I've got one of these NAS drives

As I said all the Divx and Xvid I've downloaded work fine, only the picture can be a bit choppy at times and it doesn't render as good as say an Xbox. If I try play the exact same files on my DM800HD I get the Gstreamer error and the files won't play at all.

I have a related question. I recently changed to the Vix 1.3 image and can no longer see my Vu in My Computer>Network which i could before. How can i now transfer to the HDD in Vu. Can get into the Web Control if that makes any difference.
