    Default I'm in the market for a Media Player

    I currently use a Media Player and to date it's earned it's place on my shelf however as the NAS boxes continue to fill the one thing that pisses me off about the Noontec is the inability to search for movies located on my NAS boxes

    I'm looking for a media player that meets all the functions of the Noontec but that has a built in search facility or function
    Any ideas would be appreciated.
    cheers
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    Thanks guys, and both of these units have a search function when logged into a NAS ?? (or indeed any storage repository)

    I have a Android Media player. ok if you like to have a play with this sort of thing. I also have some WD Live TV which are rock solid.

    Best though is my Samsung Smart TV's ALLSHARE application. haven't found anything it wont play yet.

    Thanks Phil, I'm now wondering if I explained what I wanted correctly
    I have over 3000 movies across my 2 NAS boxes
    When I access the NAS via my Noontec all I can do is scroll through the movies.
    This is a pain in the arse especially when you are wanting to watch just one specific movie, especially when it starts with THE - you can't imagine how many movies start with THE

    Any way, what I am after is a media player that once linked to my NAS boxes will search for individual movie titles
    cheers
