Hi hi!
I'm just looking for a simple media player to play my the videos files off my external USB HDD...
The remote control for my ACRyan PlayOn HD Mini 3 Media Player stopped working, so I need a replacement media player.
Bought a Philips Android box. Cannot get the MKV files to play with sound.
Any recommendations, please?
you are being chopped carrot if you paid more than $15 for the box (brand new). But it is still much better than your acryan
it is an old box, a gift from philips if you bought non-smart tv.
it is using S805 chip, has 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage.
Although it is dated, you can still use it to play media file up to 1080p properly. hardware decoding of h265 is also supported
Just need to install mx player, or kodi, because these 2 apps can play most video format.
Cautions: if you connect it to internet, it will update its playstore and playservice. After the updates, the box will become very irresponsible/laggy, because it has only 1GB RAM which is insufficient to run latest google services.
To make it work again, uninstall the updates for google playstore and google playservice, then disable them. The box will become much faster.
