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

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. 😎

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.

Fantastic right out of the box
Needed a way to project more than the limited 32gb with projector. Professional and Holiday videos all on one device now. Works great. Also, great direct to the TV. Being able to use a 8TB hard drive is fantastic. My clients are especially happy with the time element results. Video, Music and Images displayed with perfection.

Great to buy it’s worth the buying…

I have bought a few beamers for some Halloween projections.These are not the cheap led projectors you can find for around 50 to 100 euro but realy nice second hand high ansi lumen with HDMI connection.So i needed a media player to play my video files from a usb to hdmi and this thing works great!Remote has everything with menu and loop and more functions! I have bought 3 of these, they are so good 😅.Sadly the price is gone 25% up in 2025.. used to be 39.99 euro but still a great deal.Also see pictures, it is very small what is great to hide. Comes with red/white sound and yellow phone plug to 3.5mm jack and adaptor.

Samedi dernier nous avons fait une soirée a thème dans le bar ou je suis DJ résident.Le Patron voulait faire passer des Videos (Format mp4) en relation Avec le thème de la soirée sur les ecrans plats installés sur place.En temps normal marche en boucle une Video publicitaire Avec les differentes offres du Bar, des Video de partenaires commerciaux (marque de boisson et autres) et les Flyers des differentes soirées a thèmes et/ou le planning des DJs…en Claire Infos commerciales pour les Clients.Cette Video est au Format Mp4 et gravée sur un DVD.Installation sur place: Un lecteur DVD, Sortie Peritel Avec Splitter pour aller sur les differents ecrans plats.Le Patron voulait donc faire passer des Videos lors de la soirée a thème et pensait les graver sur DVD et faire marcher celui ci en boucle.Ceci impliquait donc que les mêmes Videos passent et repassent en boucle pendant toute la soirée, ce qui me paraissait dommage vu le nombre enorme de Videos qui auraient put etre passée pour matcher notre thème.Je me suis donc mis a la recherche sur Amazon et suis très rapidement tombé sur cette petite merveille.Formaté qques Video et transfèrée sur un Stick USB, branché le lecteur sur secteur et sur la TV Avec un cable HDMI.Affichage instantané du Menu de selection, Stick USB reconnu tout de Suite (même FAT32), Navigation Avec Telecommande facile et instinctive (Merci pour une telecommande Ave piles LR et non Bouton…des comme ca on en a toujours qui trainent qque part).Lancé les Videos en mode Shuffle…tout a fonctionné directement et sans soucis.Sur place dans le bar, il ne me restait plus qu’a brancher un adaptateur HDMI-Peritel (puisque Installation vieillote encore en cables Peritel) et tout a fonctionné sans problemes…pas de perte de qualité du tout…juste Parfait.Ce Petit Bijou est Parfait…plus Petit qu’un telephone portable et capable de jouer beaucoup de formats differents…une vraie petite prouesse technologique.Je vais definitivement m’en racheter un pour mon usage personnel.
