Pogoplug Classic Media Sharing Device in Pink or Black (POGO-B01 or POGO-P21) $15 + Free Shipping

The deal is still on, they just went up a dollar to $15.99.

fyi: Just got the pink one and it says E02 on the bottom.

Is it possible to stream this to my sony media player smp-n100? I'm trying out the stock pogoplug software to see if I can make do without installing linux (linux noob). To test, I put some avi videos in it to try to stream to my tv. However, the media player does detect the pogoplug and see the files but it says "File is unsupported or corrupted".

Can someone help please? thanks

The first thing is to be sure that the file format is one that the Sony plays natively. There can be problems with transcoding in the Pogoplug, because the processor is weak.

I was a linux noob, too, when I started with this. I probably still am, but there are enough guides and helpful people that I'm glad I hacked it. One thing to check is whether you can find a program that will work well with the Sony. I use Plex with my Roku and Samsung BD player and it's slow in exploring the files and looking at menus (again, the processor is weak) but it works well once I start streaming the program.

Sales over, back up to $19.99.

Has anyone else run in to a wget command not found issue when trying to customize your's? I see that wget is on the file system but can't get it to work to download the package management system.

Perhaps wget is not in the path? Switch to the directory containing wget and try again.

Tried that. It's located in /usr/bin/wget and still won't work. I've also tried commands to install it which I found on google but they also came back as command not found. What is also is odd is that when I try the wget command with the full directory name /usr/bin/wget it comes back as No such file or directory.

Hopefully someone else has had this issue. I have another pogoplug but don't want to take it out of the box until I understand the issue.

The error message may be from the command trying to read a configuration file or something along those lines, and not a shell error message.
