Can This Be Done and if so How ?

[mmartell]

I have a sat receiver that will record to usb thumb drive and a tv that will play the recorded file without issue.

Is there an off-the-shelf in-line device that will satisfy usb protocols and buffer the output and feed it to the input so as to play the output in real or near-real time ?

That was concise.

yes, i wanted to be clear and specific.

both devices are looking for a filesystem before they concern themselves with the file itself.
also both devices are acting as "master" initiating the action.

I thought for that reason there could be no instantaneous transfer of data but I'm sure a savvy programmer could emulate a filesystem on either end and use a buffer instead of a real file. That's why I asked if there was an off-the-shelf solution instead of using pc's.

I figured it was a rare enough idea that I would ask about it

Ive never even got these to work on Windows, let alone some embedded *Nix and RTOS systems...

i think those used special software drivers to emulate serial-over-usb or ethernet-over-usb.

^ Exactly. Thats all we got, so if OP wants to build drivers for it all... Well, have fun.
