4K Media Player with Remote Control, Digital MP4 Player for 8TB HDD/USB Drive/TF Card/H.265 MP4 PPT MKV AVI Support HDMI/AV/Optical Out and USB Mouse/Keyboard-HDMI up to 7.1 Surround Sound (Grey)

TLDR add a 128GB micro sd card or usb flash drive key chain for under $20 fill up with all your favorite titles, and you can take all your favorite videos, music, audio books and play it via hdmi anywhere on the planet you have power. it's a 100+ DVD disc/VHS player that fits in your back pocket for $70 or less all in no need for internet, subscriptions, accounts and doesnt stalk you.... $50 plugged it in, plugged in usb drive, plays back everything pretty much flawless, a child could use and the senior crowd can too without any internet stalking, set ups, accounts, updates, tinkering. For the most part it just works plug & play. Was an OG Xbox hacker running XBMC almost 20 years ago, used the entire wdtv line, dabbled with the pis and I tend to always have an old notebook around which is easy enough to connect via hdmi so I skipped a few generations of streamers. and I have zero desire for streaming but for a stand alone box this is it. 5 stars for the price, size, and doing what it's supposed to do. If I could make changes. Power on would check sd card and boot from that. So those who like a little more customization or updates could just set up a microsd card pop it in and enjoy. If no sd card then it just boots like it normally does. An internet search for "mypin firmware" brings up a page easy enough with a file from 2020 around 500mb. Played around with it before updating worked fine before and after. Verision 16 of kodi think their on 19 by now. Didnt spend to much time on it, wish it was a little easier to update and add apps, I'm sure I could get into it but not worth the time these days just want it to work and it did. Was easy enough to just add to root of usb drive, but really didnt give any indication it was doing anything, I'm familiar to just let it be for a while, checked the status and it did change. But there was no reason to update. Maybe a system setting to load update file but 99% of people wont bother. Turned on clicking video/music didnt show any files no biggy clicked app and kodi, vlc, and an office app popped up. Thought I'd try vlc it saw files but no sound thought oh boy, clicked app again selected kodi and it played back everything fine. I use a projector. Theres options to have it automatically start playing that are easy enough. Some might complain about some of the apps not working but it 3 button pushes its playing fine, scrolls thru titles fast, app and back button tend to get a user where the need so I'd be comfotable gifting to older relatives or kids. Small footprint microsd cards and usb drives are less than 20 bucks, load em up, store away and go. The Blue Laser Beam is like the luxor in vegas and i'll never understand why pretty much all electronics need to light up a room when powered off but that's what black nail polish is for, covered up the light and other spots it leaks and remote still works. Doesn't come with hdmi or batteries, but I have plenty I use a small 1ft one for this. It came with an extension for ir remote, some old school red and yellow cables and a basic remote. Would and will buy again. Great travel companion, for hotels, projectors, super portable, user froendly, and if it gets lost or stolen no biggy it so cheap. Would love physical buttons on these type of products nothing fancy but redundency for a lost or broke remote, a power button and a way to scroll or select. Maybe another micro sd card slot, it has 2 usb slots, and a file manager so it could double dose as a micro sdcard /usb drive cloner All 1%er requests but a few tweaks could make this a killer product. Old wdtv is a good comparison expcept this box scrolls thru titles a lot faster. I havent tried with my big drives, I like to use those for serious back up, keep a few usb drives / sd cards loaded and you can carry hundreds of movies/ thousands of albums ready to plug and play anywhere you go TLDR add a 128GB micro sd card or usb flash drive key chain for under $20 fill up with all your favorite titles, and you can take all your favorite videos, music, audio books and play it via hdmi anywhere on the planet you have power. it's a 100+ DVD disc/VHS player that fits in your back pocket for $70 or less all in no need for internet, subscriptions, accounts and doesnt stalk you....

Overall, this player is a great player. Pros: Very Stable Operation. Not one frozen video or system lockup, So Far. Very intuitive-simple, bare bones interface. Minimal amount of Menus and Sub Menus. Excellent Fast Forward/Rewind Interface. Great Video and Sound Quality. Soft Blue On/Off light that won't blind you. Best Remote I used in terms of range and spread - very forgiving. Best Minimal Heat Signature, So Far. Best Player I have used, So Far. Plays everything I have tried, including h265 with ease. Cons: A Little more expensive than the competition. As with most it has a poor manual. The ONLY annoying flaw I have found: IMPORTANT It appears that the MyPin remote on/off button only powers off the Player, it does not turn off power (internally disconnect) to the drive you are using, Another reviewer on Amazon has pointed this out. So, before you unplug your drive to add media... Turn off the power to the unit its self.... Then unplug your drive and add your media. In my experience, if you don't do this, you may get a drive error message from your PC and your files may not write/copy properly. This mainly happens with SS Drives. It doesn't seem to bother my 4 gig Desktop Seagate Drives. Technically, I don't understand what the problem is but MyPin should address the issue what ever it is.

I have 5TB hard drives containing MP4 formatted home videos. There are over 500 directories and 1000 video files on the hard drive. I normally play the videos from a Windows or Chromebook laptop connected to a TV. I had to provide a Chromebook to family members to play the videos on their TV but it is rather difficult for them since they are non-technical users. I started researching other options and found that most media players and Blu-Ray players can handle a small number of files but cannot handle large drives, a large number of files, or a variety of video formats. This media player gives you the ability to easily play a large number of various video files from large hard drives without a laptop. By simply connecting the player to the TV and connecting the hard drive to the player, I was able to play almost all the video files. Using the interface, it takes a few seconds to open the root directory since it contains over 500 sub-directories but that is not unreasonable. All the directories appear and it is easy to use the remote to navigate to any directory and subsequent sub-directories. As a few reviewers have mentioned, using the File Manager instead of the Video application gives you the ability to back out to the previous directory at all levels. The remote works well enough for controlling the playback of each video. I don’t have a problem with FF, REW, etc. The MP4 video files range in size from 2GB to 20GB. All files up to 15GB play great but I have a problem playing video files larger than 15GB. The video doesn’t play after approximately two and a half hours (02:28). The documentation indicates the player should play files this large. Mypin support was initially responsive but did not provide a solution for the problem. I experienced one other problem. After disconnecting my hard drive from the media player and reconnecting it to my Windows 10 laptop, the following Windows error message appears: ‘There is a problem with this drive. Scan the drive now and fix it’. Whether I choose to ‘continue without scanning’ or ‘Scan the drive now and fix it’, all the files on the drive were available and playable. This message has been more of a nuisance rather than the drive actually being corrupted and requiring a re-format. The media player created three directories on the hard drive – Android, BUDA, and LOST.DIR. I assume since Windows didn’t create these directories it may be flagging that there is a problem with the drive. When I reported the problem to Mypin support they responded that it is a known bug but there wasn’t a solution (as of DEC 2022). They also responded that it should not damage the hard drive or USB flash drive. Summary: This media player is a great option for playing videos from large external hard drives. You can play the videos on any TV at home or any other location without worrying about using a laptop. It is especially useful for non-technical users. My extended family members love it. I really wanted to rate it with five stars but dropped to four stars because of the two problems I described. Overall, it is a great product.

I only used this for an hour before deciding to return it, so the review is no a complete. I bought it because it can use 8TB drives and many players are limited to 2 TB. That is the only Pro. Cons: - No random play feature. That alone was reason enough to return it. If you have thousands of photos or videos, this is an essential feature. - Unusable remote. They seem to have bought into the minimal buttons philosophy of remotes so things that should be a button click now require fiddling around with their clumsy user interface. - Clumsy user interface. Instead of a simple list of attached drives, directories and files, it is some bizarre difficult to comprehend menu system. They don't even say how many files are in a directory. If you hit next on the remote, and then exit play mode, it does not even show the current file you are playing. Just shoddy work all around. - The home button on the remote does not do anything. - They use a case sensitive sort for the files. I could go on and on. Hardware wise it works ok. If you just have a small set of files you want to watch, it might be ok. It's a shame they did not implement some basic common sense features in the user interface and remote that could have made it a great product.

This is the third media player I've bought, having tried the "popular " ones. BY FAR, this is my favorite..!!! Here's several reasons why: SO easy to set up and use, comes with Kodi installed, video and sound quality is superb, ability to add storage space us as simple as plugging in a flash drive loaded with music, photos, and videos, and speaking of videos...it plays a TON of video formats, including high definition, making it easy to download and play without having to first convert them, and I just love how fast the processor in this is, allowing me to jump from one position to another ,anywhere in the video, immediately!, without any buffering or lag. This player is AWESOME, and the price paid for what I got is just unreal..!! I wish I'd started with this one. In my attempt to offer a fair review, the ONLY thing I wish were better would be if the included instructions would have instructed me on how to connect the media player to my internet. They do offer tech support help though, so I'll just call in and get help with that. Overall, I cannot believe there is a better media player out there for a price anywhere near this one. Oh, and it says infra red purchased separately, but it came included with my purchase.

My Roku Ultra has a media player but the video formats it plays are limited. My Blu-ray also has a media player but the remote is tiny. So I purchased this unit. It took me a bit to get it set up, because I'm running it through my receiver. Most items that I plugged into it are plug and play. I had to go into the HDMI assign mode with this unit. Once I did, it was recognized and worked great. I have set the sound out on the receiver to surround. It has an auto detect mode, so if you run a video with mono or stereo or 7.1 surround it will automatically adjust. This unit doesn't seem to trigger the automatic audio out. So I defaulted to surround and it sounds great. So far this has played every format I have run through it. Even TS/VOB files. I'm very happy with my purchase. The interface is pretty easy to use. The physical size is small so it's footprint on my entertainment center is manageable. And it doesn't get too hot. The remote buttons are a nice size, I do wish it was slightly thicker, so that it fit in my hand a bit better. One strange side note, some of the buttons on the remote, power up and open the disc tray on my Blu-ray. But I would defiantly purchase again. Update: I had some issues with video locking up while the audio kept playing, or the audio and video getting out of sync. I discovered if you go into the Apps folder you can use KODI or VLC players. So far the KODI player works better than the stock MPIN player. I also like that KODI has a bookmark feature, so that if you need to stop watching, you can bookmark where you stopped and then pick up where you left off.

As I have owned this unit for little more than a week, this is strictly a short-term evaluation of its out-of-the box performance. This MYPIN 4K media player is a very compact (only 3"x3"x0.5") unit which looks well-made and solid with a black anodized metal casing. I specifically bought this unit to remedy to the limitations of the media player functions of my Roku 3, specifically its inability to play files of certain video (such as .avi) or audio (such as Dolby or DTS) formats. On the positive side, I can certainly say that my primary goal was achieved. This unit has been able to detect and play flawlessly any kind of audio and video file (including subtitles) of whatever size (up to 6GB) I have been able to throw at it. This unit also has no problem detecting and reading the 5TB external hard drive disks on which I store my various programs. It is advertised to be able to read up to 8TB but I have not yet been able to verify that.. On the negative side, this unit does has several shortcomings. As far as I am concerned, the main shortcoming is that program navigation is very awkward and clunky. Moving from folder to folder and file to file is not smooth and often takes repeated pushes of the remote command keys. Also, within a given folder, if you navigate forward past the last file it will come back around to the first file but it will not let you go backwards from the first to the last file. Finally, while this unit can navigate downwards from menu to folders to files, it seems unable to do so upwards and, once you navigate out of a file it goes directly back to the root menu without giving you the opportunity to stop and explore the intermediate folders. Similarly, the setting of the video parameters (language track, subtitles, etc…) with the menu key is very awkward and requires each parameter to be set individually one at a time as each push of that key only allows the adjustment of a single parameter. Another shortcoming is that the power supply to that unit seems awfully touchy and it will not accept any AC convertor but the one provided with the unit, which could be a problem if you lose that one or need to replace it. Even once properly plugged in and operating, the unit seems very susceptible to either video program loss or even complete power shut-off if you try to move it or sometimes only touch it. I do not know if this problem is a default particular to my unit or not. Therefore, all in all, this unit does exactly what I wanted it to do but it is very temperamental and somewhat frustrating to operate. We'll see how long it will perform.

This is one of the best investments I have ever made! The only thing is, I ordered it with the digital optical out, and they sent me one with digital coaxial instead. I decided to keep it because it is portable and I can take it anywhere and not many people have the digital optical inputs or surround sound systems like I have. Overall, I'm glad Amazon made that mistake. :) This is so very easy to use! Just plug and play. It does NOT get hot... I bought a different brand a couple of weeks ago and I'm pretty sure it's a fire hazard. I didn't even send it back because it was so cheap and I would have spent more money returning it... Anyway, back on point: Just plug and play! It is very tiny and mine came with the IR included so that you can be pretty far away and use the remote. Now, I haven't plugged it into my computer because it looks like it is set up like an android phone and I don't need for it to do anything other than play Hi-def movies from my SD cards and Flash drives. So, I wouldn't do any of that if you decide to purchase this. One important thing: I read several reviews on here before I purchased this and just for safety's sake... make sure you turn the unit OFF before unplugging your media drives. I haven't tested the theory to see if I can lose my datga or not, but I'm not taking any chances. So! Overall, I'm a VERY satisfied customer and this is a fantastic product and well worth the money I spent... no regrets!
