5.0 out of 5 stars Really nice piece of tech for the modern media junkie!
This is a very handy little set top box device that lets you play downloaded media content from your phone, tablet, or PC. It will play music mp3s, it will play movie or video mp4 and mkv files. (And other formats like 3gp, etc.) It will also display your jpeg photos you take on your phone or even your premium digital camera. It will do this all on your TV and home theater receiver. (If you want hifi quality sound with your videos and music.) Only thing is, you need to know what this thing will and won't do. Firstly I will mention my complaint... This device was intended for use in UK or country using HDMI standard with 50hz. But America uses 60hz HDMI frequency. So the device defaults to 50hz for UK. So when you hook up your American TV to it. It will automatically detect it and work fine. But later if you happen to change video output either in settings or the remote by accidentally hitting one of those video output buttons, you will be left with a black screen with no way to get back even if you press HDMI button. Because it then just defaults to 50hz and not 60hz output. Now if you have this device hooked up via the red white and yellow rca cables, there will be no issue like this. But video quality will only be good as a high end vcr. But it will still look great. People that have to have the highest res images will want the HDMI hookup. I myself am not that finicky. But anyway, to resolve the issue with the black screen after changing video input (HDMI) you have to disconnect power source and reconnect to reset it and then it will redetect the TV. It is in settings a switch for on or off auto detect HDMI but does not work! So that sucks. They need to fix that. And another problem people are having is the device not playing videos. There is a strange thing about this device in which it will only play vids saved in FAT32 format on your sd card slot. It will NOT play videos saved on exfat format (SD card slot). No matter what card you use except sdhc cards. This is a complicated thing and not for the lay person. But I do have the answer. Use only 32gb or less sd cards. They are the sdhc standard and only save in FAT32. So vids saved on this size card will play fine. If you use a 64gb or higher sd card, it can be used. But you have to do the following... Buy a sd card reader. (It is a small thumb drive looking device that has an SD card slot on the side.) And insert your sdxc card in it and then the reader into the USB port of your media player. Works fine! I have used 256gb micro SD cards (in an SD card adapter) and it plays my exfat format storage just fine but only in the USB port (for the thumb drive). I don't know why it will accept exfat storage on the USB port but not the SD card slot. I learned this from a lot of trial and error. So I am giving sound advice on this I promise. But if you want to chock a bunch of movies on this micro DVR haha and have all your ripped and bootleg movies at your fingertips and discard your dvd player, this is the way to go and I love it. So I give this device 5 stars despite the flaws. All you need to do to play tons of movies worry free, is buy a nice large SanDisk Cruiser Glide thumb drive (128 or 256 gigs) and fill it with your media either with a PC or use an otg cable connected to your phone or tablet. (An otg cable is a short micro USB plug on one end and big USB standard female Jack on other end) effectively making your phone's charging port a real USB port. (Phone must have ability to move media via the charging port and some low end phones do not allow this.) Then you can move your downloaded content to a thumb drive. Hope this info helps. I just wanted to help the lay person who knows little about this alternative way of enjoying tv and music. 😎

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Well, But Missing An Important Feature
The Good: It's inexpensive. The quality of both the video and audio is excellent. The ability to dial in a time code and jump there is great.The Bad: It doesn't recognize DVD folders. DVDs are outdated, but many people still saved their DVDs to disk. Most important it doesn't remember where you leave off if you are in the middle of a video. It starts all videos from the beginning. Maybe not a deal breaker, but I find this really annoying.Edit: It is possible for the unit to remember where you left off. I found it in the OSD menu. This is not mentioned in the skimpy documentation. Unfortunately, if this is set to on you will always return to the point you left off. My old WDTV had a better system in which it gave the choice of whether to resume or restart.
1.0 out of 5 stars Crashes more often than it works.
I got this to play back home movies I had digitized at 1080p 60fps H264. With less than ten files loaded, I could get one playing after two or three crashes. It would bounce back to the home screen each time. Annoying, but at least usable. Everything looked great when it finally got going. When I got all 27 videos on the card, it wouldn't do anything but crash. I tried higher compression for lower file sizes. I tried lower resolution. It just kept crashing. I finally got it "working" by putting all of the files in three separate folders of nine files each. It still takes several crashes to get going, but it will eventually play. I don't understand what is causing this temperamental behavior beyond some unknown limit on the number of files you can have in one folder? In any case, it really shouldn't be this hard to get a device to do the one thing it is designed for. Knowing what I know now, I would recommend getting a mini PC over this. They're only $140, and they can play video much more reliably in addition to being a fully capable computer.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for what it needs to be
I bought this to display a photo montage at a memorial service. The mortuary told me to just bring the montage on a thumb drive, and it will play no problem. When the director was showing us the room, we decided to test the drive on the television in the room. It didn't actually have a way to play the video. I immediately ordered this. When I got it, I tried it ony TV at home, and it worked beautifully. The video played perfectly. I brought the setup with me to the service, and when I got there, I had found that they had burned the video to a DVD to play, but the DVD player hooked up to the TV was malfunctioning. I hooked up this baby, and the montage played through the reception perfectly. Also, the 1080p versions of 4K77 and 4K83 play better on this than on an Xbox. So this is definitely coming with me to any Star Wars watch parties I attend.
Excellent option to replace my old WD media player.
This device works just fine. It is a lot more affordable than other contemporary devices. My only concern is that it doesn't seem to have a screen saver built in. I can live with that though.
Totalmente Recomendable
En un principio tuve mis dudas así que decidí buscar en la web y poco encontré, aún así decidí arriesgarme y el poco tiempo que llevo con el reproductor, me pareció fabuloso, muy facíl de operar, llega con menú en chino y es difícil acceder a poder hacer el cambio puesto que todo esta en chino. Después de ello todo muy sencillo y trabaja excelente tanto con la usb con SD card, aún o he probado la salida análoga que poco usaré, pero en geberal funciona muy bien. totalmente recomendable por el precio pagado.
Ok
Perfect
You don't need a usb socket on your tv play ALL your external files through your tv.
What a wonderful piece of kit this is. I have an old H.D. Panasonic plasma tv in the conservatory and although there are usb sockets none of the sockets were able to cope with large file sizes I wanted it to play. Now I can play MP4 movies on this device up to 2TB. It really is fantasticItem with great options not just MP4. It really is plug and play just as it says on the "tin". Also it has great connection options such as H.D.and RGB leads and remote control ,but not a HD cable . I had a spare HD lead and plugged it into a HD port on the back of the T.V. and through the device settings I was able to get the T.V.s full resolution of 1080p definition (Good enough for my 72 years eyes) ?It works a treat with a 64GB USB with 30 movies on it and the devices on screen software organise the files in alphabetical order if they are named. The kit is portable as well and can play on any T.V. Maybe on holiday after a hard day on the beach ! Without a doubt I can fully recommend this device, its so simple to use, just like me. !
