External Hard Drives work, but they have to be set up correctly
25 August 2018 – I had some trouble with this media player and another similar one with the same chipset, but I found the solution from the manufacturer. You need to use these with drives that are set up for master boot record (MBR) versus the newer GPT (GUI partition Table). This is why it will only read drives up to 2 TB. MBR does not support over 2 TB. I thought it was the drive brand. Toshibas worked, but not Western Digital. Then I went into disk manager and discovered that how they are configured depends on the manufacturer, but they all work when converted. I have used FAT32, NTFS and exFat formats. Not a problem. GPT is a problem. I hope this helps folks that have been tearing their hair out trying to figure out why their hard drives don’t work. Now, on with my original review…. I’ll hit the high points to keep it short. The Micca Spec G2 plays a bunch of different formats. The ones I tested: .mkv; a standard definition (480P) DVD.iso file, .mp4 video, .mp3, all from a flash drive. They worked flawlessly. Then I took the files that would be on a DVD – not an .iso file, but the actual folder that one would find on the media itself. I told the unit (so to speak…) to play the folder, and it did…just like it were a DVD or .iso file, menus and all. Then, I saw in the menu, “Optical Drive” listed, so I took my Samsung USB Blu-ray reader/writer and plugged it in. The Micca Speck played standard definition DVDs with no problem. However, when I attempted to play a Blu-ray Disc, I received a “file read error”. I tried a couple of Blu-ray Discs just to make sure it wasn’t the disc. Apparently this box doesn’t have the horsepower to decode Blu-ray Discs, but I can play HD videos ripped from Blu-rays with no problem. It could be compatibility with the Samsung reader/burner, too. I didn’t try my other brand of external Blu-ray player/burner with it.Subtitles and Audio tracks: I read another review that the individual could only read one audio track. That was not the case for me. I could read two language audio tracks. I only had two tracks on the .mkv I used so I can’t say if it would play more than that. The second track was dubbed in German and the volume was lower than the primary English track, but that could just be the way the original disc was recorded. Accessing subtitles was problematic for me. I couldn’t make it work, but it just may that I haven’t found the right sequence of buttons. This unit is fairly intuitive though.Bottom line: it’s small, economical and just works. I liked it so much I just purchased two more. These will make great stocking stuffers.

Micca Speck Portable Digital Media Player
First off, I actually bought two of these little units and gave one as a gift as I feel they work so well!We live in a rural area and as such we don’t have access to high enough speed Internet to stream movies (that you’d think EVERYBODY has!). We used to have Hughes Net but didn’t like the slow speed (really couldn’t stream there!) or the low daily cap. We now have Wi-Max Wi-Fi, but it still isn’t quite there yet, maybe some day though!But I was searching for a way to watch the movies I have that I had converted to MP4 without having to load everything into iTunes for our Apple TV’s or to have to set up an older computer as a media center just to watch them through it. I actually had already done both of those ways and wanted to get just a simple ‘plug and play solution’.While searching one afternoon this device came up in the search with several others but this unit had the overall best reviews so I immediately bought one to find out if it could do what I wanted. It is like an unmentioned category of devices, I guess because EVERYBODY is supposed to be streaming everything, devices that are for people that like me, that just can’t stream it all but have large video collections.It works PERFECTLY for us! It is very small, has inputs for USB and SD Card and it is as simple as plug it into your TV, it comes with a composite cable but you do have to supply the HDMI cable and two batteries for the included remote.Some reviewers griped that they don’t include the HDMI cable but I had already bought several of the $2.00 HDMI cables (that work perfectly fine by the way) from Amazon and so I had several already on hand.I just plug in a portable Hard Drive, I’ve used both the powered by the device type and the larger plug into the wall type, they both work fine, plug in the power plug from the device to the outlet and it comes on. The on screen interface of the TV when the unit is on, is totally easy to understand and the remote works fine. As I bought this entirely for it’s ability to play my various Hard Drives and THUMB DRIVES TOO! I did not test all the available features, music playback etc., other than the ability to also play photos straight from an SD card which was fine too.The video playback is overall very good, as good as the source file, the video sound quality fine also, and while I did have to adjust the video playback on our 42 inch Sharp TV, the 50 inch Samsung played video back with no adjustments needed.So yes, I highly recommend this device. It is so small it can easily be taken if you travel a lot, just take a small hard drive or like a 64GB flash drive with some shows or movies you like, just plug the unit into the TV at the motel/hotel and go! Or take up no room at all with the media center in you home. Get the benefits of a media center computer without the computer if you don’t need to get into the Internet through a device too. This is a PLAYER ONLY but a really good one! Just what I was looking for and I expect others are also!UPDATE 12/21/2012Still works fine but one thing I forgot to mention is that the little metal device slides around very easily so I purchased some small rubber stick on feet from a local Radio Shack and put 4 on it. Now it stays where it should on the shelf by the TV.

Köpte denna för att använda till signage. Enkel att konfigurera för stående format. Bytte ut strömadaptern och tar istället strömmen (5V) via USB-A på TV’n. Det bästa med mediaspelaren är att den går att konfigurera så att den startar automatiskt och går i en loop så snart TV’n startas upp. Mycket prisvärd!
