HDMI Media Player, Black Mini 1080p Full-HD Ultra HDMI Digital Media Player for -MKV/RM- HDD USB Drives and SD Cards

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. 😎

Exactly what I wanted for RV - plays .MKV files (offline) that I ripped myself. No issues - you can select multiple audio tracks and also closed captioning. Works fine with 500GB SSD with Windows 10 folder structure. Yes it's a little spartan for features but does exactly what I needed.

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.

I was looking for an HDMI media player to watch movies in my library from a thumb drive.I used an old 100GB USB thumb drive formatted in NTFS with an extensive MP4 movie catalog saved on it. This media player played all my movies and TV shows (more than 100) without a glitch. It was also easy to listen to MP3s from this player, which is relaxing to do in my library and writing studio.I was glad I did not have to reformat my drive to the FAT32 format like some users recommended. I had no problems with some videos not playing. I also did not need to read any instructions. I just plugged it in and played because it's so intuitive.The only problem is that my TV did not recognize the device with the provided A/V cables. So, I used my own HDMI cable (none provided). Batteries for the remote weren't provided either.It's convenient that this player has multiple ways to connect. I have not used this brand before so I hope it lasts.

The media could not be loaded. I’m really impressed with this HDMI Media Player! It’s simple to operate, well-built, and offers both analog and HDMI output options. The IR receiver works great with the remote, making navigation easy. Plus, the video quality is clear and not pixelated, providing a smooth viewing experience.

I would have given this 5 stars but the manual is quite difficult to figure out. I have it hooked up to a 24Inch (cheap) 1080P monitor to display photos in a random order. It will handle my 24Gb SD card with ease.When started, it just plays the pictures. The difficult part is in telling the software to use random order and to change the display time using the remote. I have the media player on a wall plug timer so it shuts down at 11:00pm and restarts at 7:00 am. When the player shuts down, the monitor goes to sleep as there is no signal. But at 7am the player is powered up and the monitor restarts. It's kinda like a photo display system but a lot cheaper.Edit on 12/11/24 I added a lot of photos to an SD card about 10Gb. The media player would not load all the pictures and gave me a time out error. I think it just took too long to load the jpg's. I sent it back and will try a different vendor.
