Video Player Support
The Media Hub plays video content through a browser plug-in. Download and
install your favorite media player to enable video playback within the Media
Browser. Please note that media players have varying levels of support for
different video formats. If the video format you want to play is not supported,
you may want to search the Internet for a media player that can run on your
computer and support the desired video formats. (Make sure you download the
latest version.) Some suggested players include QuickTime, VLC, and Windows
Media Player.
