Video playback should be limited to smaller video files, as larger video files may take a long time to load and play. Ways to Use the Media Hub NOTE: 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.
