Post subject: | Looking for a media player (based on android) |
So, I have a nice TV in my bedroom and no cable going to it for all sorts of reasons. So I figured, let's buy a standalone media player which connects on my WiFi and outputs locally through HDMI. So far so good. Done some browsing and what not, and came to buy a AC Ryan Veolo. Bad decision. Hardware and design seem fine, but OS (Android 2.2) is very outdated and doesn't work well. Now I'll return this device and I want a different one. Basically all it needs to do is contain android with a decent recent version so I can run XBMC off it, have a wireless interface and an HDMI output interface. Any suggestions anyone? Pricerange should be between 200 and 300 euros. |
