I'm looking for a good network media player that can handle most of the common file types. I currently have a Seagate Freeagent Theater + and it does the job but i had to do a good amount of tinkering to get it to read the large library of media on my desktop and the interface is pretty damned clunky. I have done a bit of research and it seems that a boxee box or a wd tv live are my best two choices with a potential Popcorn Hour in the running.

Any input from others that have experience with these or any quality media player?

VLC Player handles them all, it's lightweight, and very fast

Wow haha I'm sorry I should have mentioned that I want to play all of this on my Tv like the Seagate FAT+ does right now.

Got a player way back and was not happy. Build a custom HTPC for myself. Just sucks dealing with windows sometimes. Never look into making a linux one. Plus gaming on the big screen is nice sometimes.

Sent from my TT-Bolt.

Doesn't appear that slingbox is able to read video files from my computer over my local network. Correct me if I'm wrong.
