[QUOTE="KGL, post: 1147811, member: 154214"] I want to play videos from my Topfield PVR on my computer. The Topfield doesn't have a Media Server (eg DNLA) facility but it does have an ftp server. I can connect to the PVR using Filezilla and on my Android phone and tablet using an app called Dice Player which plays the files using ftp.
