OK so I just Jailbroke my Oppo 103. I was able to do some limited testing Friday, and was able to use a USB stick in the front port to successfully play DVDA & SACD .iso files and using the video, or Movies interface.
I have not tested this way with any BD, or Blu-Ray if you prefer, .iso's due to time constraints, and no testing this weekend in deference to my wife who has a capacity for cooking shows that's unreal.
I ain't messing with that.....
So I don't plan on any attached storage for the Oppo, and would rather keep everything on the network or specifically my main pc rig. I was told that forwindows the Oppo that DNLA would not work for .iso files since they are not recognized as music.
OK I get that. They are a disc format.
It was recommended for Windows to use the SMB protocol. But I'm not real clear on exactly what that is, and a search at MS went down a rabbit hole of servers and the infinite troubleshooting problems of...well you get it.
I'm thinking, cluelessly perhaps, that SMB has more to do with simply Sharing a file on my pc. Could it be that simple, or is Casey Jones running this train here?
Anyway I'm just trying to prevent a lot of trial and error and I've got better ways to spend time. Like goofing off here. So any thoughts on the SMB thing?
