I'm looking for a standalone media player,that will connect to my home network(wired or wireless),and will play all kinds of media file......xvid,x264,mkv,wmv,etc,etc.
Any suggestions?

I use this one: Synology DS213
Very Easy to use, and you have different Servers on it, like iTunes Server, Media Server, Video Station ( you can use for e.g. iPad)

Maybe a WD TV Live box might work. http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330

Great stuff,thanks.

did you gt the WD TV Live Hub, i already have the WD MyBook live 3TB external drive but when connecting to my ps3 esp when trying to play the bluray files it struggles to play them back, normal dvd's s seem to fine tho.
im wandering if the WD TV Live Hub can play back bluray files etc before i consider getting one
