I am a bit infatuated with this player, but I’ll try my best to be objective. Most of the time this device works well. I am using it mainly for viewing MP4 video on my TV through the HDMI jack with a 64g USB thumb/flash drive and when it works it works very well, with full rich audio and a vivid display. But it can be quirky too, and unfortunately support is slim to nonexistent. A few of my files would not play at all, and I have no idea why. On a few others there was a picture but no audio and for those I had to do quite a bit of trial and error experiments with the recording software I was using but after awhile I figured out what I was doing wrong. The remote control seems to have a limited range, and it apparently it uses the same frequency as my Sirius radio and turns it on too when I hit the power button. Overall, I am quite pleased with this unit, and particularly happy that I’ve found an alternative to burning DVD-R’s. It will come in very handy for travel. Recommended...if you have a slightly high tolerance for it’s idiosyncrasies. Read more

I was trying to read MP4 movies from a USB. The cables provided gave out a very poor sound. This was resolved by using an HDMI cable instead. The movies all read fine for like 10min and then the sound just goes away. It does this for all videos, even though they work on my computer. The remote stopped working properly (some buttons just stopped responding) so that is bad. I will return this. Read more

This is the 2nd time I've bought this player. My review has not changed and I am almost completely satisfied with it. The video quality is excellent from all outputs. The players size makes placement very unobtrusive so it doesn't take away from the visual aspect of your setup. It responds from the remote from a good distance and at all reasonable angles. My only issues with this one is, as before, there is no universal remote available and if you lose or damage it the only recourse is to purchase another unit or a similar one that's is built on the same electronics (there are several at different price points). The other is the recognized file formats. My original one (it still works) read everything I threw at it except 4K, which I really don't use much. However this one has problems with H.265 files. It must be noted that it does state those are not compatible. Why my previous one did, who knows. All in all, this is an excellent media player . solid in construction and operation. Read more

Anyone looking for a serviceable media player that loops videos without a break in-between will be as impressed as I with this unit. It worked perfect and was easy to set up. I may change my mind later if it breaks down but I tried this as a last minute effort and ordered multiple units for an art project. The units have been running for almost a week now without problem. I suspect there's not much to getting media players to do what artists want them too, at least with smaller-scale files for particular settings. Its just a matter of simplifying the interface, which this unit seems to do perfectly. It looks good too! I think the key is the remote has a repeat button that allows for looping, whereas others are built into the display interface and never function the way you want them to. The other remarkable thing is how fast this company sent these out. I ordered the first on a saturday and it arrived on sunday (wow!) and tried it again two more times with the same turnaround. The only way it could have been faster is if it was being sold by my next door neighbor and they walked it over to my apartment. Good stuff, lets hope they hold up, but at least they cost less than most main courses at a nice restaurant Read more

Newer TVs allow straight usage of thumb drives - older ones don't, even if they have a USB slot. Many of the simple cable converters don't work. This one receives the thumb drive and uses the HDMI port to the TV. The only drawback - and it's a very small one - is that it takes a few moments to scan the thumb drive when powering on. Easily preventable by leaving it on. Read more

As long as your USB drives are not Western Digital (WD) Elements versions, this is a great little player. Over the years I have collected about 15 USB drives of various brands and sizes, and this player will read all of them but my two, 1T, WD Elements drives. It'll even read other WD USB drives (WD My Passports are fine), but with these two, after selecting "USB Drive" from the menu, all that happens is the menu cycles between a back arrow icon with two dots, to a file folder icon with two dots. Leaving out this quirk, I'd give it a 10/10 for things like ease-of-use, simplicity in hooking up.....all that stuff. Read more

I had an upcoming conference where I needed to play a MP4 file in a continuous loop on a plain computer monitor with no laptop. The monitor has no media capabilities. I hooked up the HDMI Media Player and plugged in my USB and I had instant access to my media files on the monitor via the remote and was able to play a continuous looping video on the monitor. Extremely happy with the quality and results. Read more
