Wdtv hd media player forums

You are reading and believing too many urban legends about Amazon equipment. You may as well say the same about Google Home, too. The thing we really need to worry about spying on us is our cell phones which track our every move.

We also need to be concerned about creeps breaking into our phones to spy on us. All the Fire TV does is display what movie the MrMC app sends to it from a server, and app can play many different video and audio formats. It is no different than a WDTV in this regard.

I also do not need your misguided advice of what to recommend as an alternative to WDTV. If you want to call facts urban legend, so be it; you have the right to stay ignorant.

I know hackers who love gullible people like you. Fortunately, anyone can do a little digging to find out the truth on their own. Nothing today that I found plays xvid or divx videos and I have far too many to re-rip. I too have the need for a replacement to the WDTV.

Someone must know something that will help. I love this box and I am also looking for a replacement. This is to guard against a possible failure. Why would such a valuable item be discontinued? It must be a conspiracy. The WDTV plays them.

All other boxes and programs I have researched state some excuse or another why they cannot play VOB files. PlayOn, will not. Shield TV, will not. Kodi, will not. Plex, will not.

Fire, will not. They all do so much, next some may even wash your dishes and cook your meals, but what happened to the simple act of playing a saved DVD from which I have way too many to convert.

Perhaps is there a standalone VLC player in a seperate box? So, why not just play the ISO files? Kodi plays them too, as well as MKVs. The fact that none of the main players do not play VOBs tells me something about what are considered the standard formats. I've got AC Ryan's Playon! DVR TV and got it hooked up with a external usb dvd drive, works fine.

However, the Playon! Other file formats are fine, xvid, iso, ifo, vob etc. Not too sure if this reply is any use to you, well hope at least the part about it connecting ok with usb dvd drive is useful. Apr 27, 1 0 18, 0. Though it would have been nice if the WD TV did support usb dvd drives.. But I guess its because it a product of WD which of course sells Hard Drives as its flagship product so removing that option forces you to buy a lot of hard drives for backups they're hoping you pick WD drives lol..
