what to do?

[crytklmass]

Well, Ive been experimenting with my blu ray usb input and my external western digital hard drive. I can view my slideshow (jpeg) and play mp3 only. I still cant view video's. Most are AVI and MPEG. I was looking at the OPPO BDP-83. I also use Netflix. It seems Samsung has the market to stream videos. Ive tried so many things. ie. Western Digital - WD TV HD Media Player for USB Storage Devices, Apple Airport, etc. I havn't tried the Squeezbox or Sonos. I don't like buying and returning products but I can't seem to find anything that works. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would really like to store my music (which we all know is possible) but more importantly view my static photo's (slideshows) and movies after I download them. Do I need to change the format. Im stuck and can use any suggestions you guys/gals have.
