Recommend a media player

Question

media players

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year everyone!

Help with advice, which prefix to take? Otherwise, I don’t understand anything about them :(

The most important thing is the function of remembering viewed files. Like on apple TV, when you watch a movie, it marks unwatched / watched movies.

You need any other media set-top box, except for apple TV with the same function.

And the second, a very important thing - you need a browser on the console that plays flash or html5 video (yes, yes, for a turbo movie :))

And of course lan / wifi, hdmi, HD / fullHD, many codecs, etc. :)

PS I have a gift for NG in the form of an invite to a turbofilm :)

Answer 1

AppleTV 2 + Jailbreak is probably the most suitable option. Somewhere there was even an article about people running html 5 games on the device.

Answer 2

Logitech Revue

Answer 3

You can take an ion-based nettop and roll xbmc on top, there are no restrictions on functionality, except for heavy games, of course.

Answer 4

Now very interesting Android players are starting to be sold on DX (such as www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI9JAzpOpLw ). Pros - a decent browser, you can install different software, games. Minus - it is not clear how the Chinese did everything there, whether it will fall apart after a week of use ...

Answer 5

I advise you to look at boxee (or xbmc). If you need a compact media player, then there is the D-Link Boxee Box.

Answer 6

I have a media player based on PC + windows 7 + MCE + a horizontal case in a rack to the receiver. Despite the fact that the computer is old: 512RAM, 3GHz, Ati 2600; everything flies - including Full HD of the most brutal coding.
3 years without maintenance, only 1.5 years ago I installed windows 7.
