Can anyone recommend a cheap media player that I can connect a hdd via USB. Must be full hd and have a digital optical output. Play a wide range of formats including mkv. And 5.1 and dts
I have seen one of these "DGM 3D Full HD Media Player" on eBay for £26. Anyone got one?
Yeah. Not at all interested in 3D though. (who is?). I've ordered one, worth a punt. Ideally wanted wdtv but those are selling 2nd hand on eBay for over £50. Still holding there price well.
the new xtreamer prodigy is epic, xtreamer.ie have the first one just "sidewinder" for like 70 quid, very good product too, failing that xbox![]()
mate for £40 get one of these - futeko.com - Bluetimes Coopa TV001
it plays full 7.1 sound but also downmixes .....also reads most drive fomats including hfs+ ( I just checked htis even though it does not mention it on the site). Plays virtually every format....its basic in function , but like me you want it to play everything !
Just got this yesterday....and guess what....it plays everything
...and I mean even MAC format drives ....and 3d mkv files !
Hmmm.. if possible could you try it with a range of 3D files that were maybe encoded using different codecs etc? I may consider sending my cyclone back if yours does indeed handle 3D files without a problem..![]()
I've actually just had a huge amount of luck with the 3D bluray player that we have. I formatted my 16GB USB stick in exFAT and threw on a 720P MKV as well as a 1080P 3D MKV - both full movies, and it plays them without a hitch! I don't have any other 3D movies to try but if it plays them I'll have no need for another media player![]()
Just a quick update. Sent it back! You couldn't turn the subtitles off. Didn't play a lot of my mkv files. Slow and unresponsive. Full refund off ebuyer given. Going to get a wdtv instead
It really was awful.
Want to share with us what your bluraw player is?![]()
