"Another bummer is how picky the Satellite app is about what video file formats it plays. In fact, very little of my movie collection would play on the drive. Luckily, this is an easy workaround: you can either transcode videos into a format the iPad finds palatable using something like Handbrake; or you can use a third-party app like OPlayer HD (Lite version here), which plays all kinds of video file formats that are otherwise unplayable on the iPad (I preferred the latter approach, because it meant I didn’t have to have two different files — one for the iPad, one for playing on the big screen — of the same movie)."
so someone (not oplayer or seagate) has figured out how to make it work.
this is what i have googled for your reference:
"However, using the $5 OPlayer HD iPad app, I was able to play media files in any format on my iPad. OPlayer can recognise and play a wide variety of files and links to the GoFlex through http streaming – typing in any web address in its own built-in browser opens up the GoFlex interface."
