What streaming internet player should I use with this? (to stream movies)

I have mine set up with an Apple TV and an Xbox One. Both are great for streaming media. I have also had it set up with a Roku, but I have since moved that to another TV.

Sorry, no streaming content I find other than BD Live. You'll need Roku or other compatible device (get the wireless hd roku if you want to move it around the house (room to room) with you, roku seems to work well for me but you do need good internet connection.

Disk playback works just fine without an Internet connection. I use mine that way most of the time, but the streaming video features that this player also offers, such as Netflix, will require an Internet connection. The disk player detects, through its HDMI connection, if the TV set has been turned off and it will turn itself off. It will also eventually turn itself off if it is not being used, but mine has never turned itself off while I was watching a DVD movie.

It does not currently have an Amazon Streaming Video application. If that is important to you then perhaps take a look at the Roku 3, or any other Roku model.

The Netflix app is available (free). I just streamed two movies over the weekend without any issues or buffering. The screen on this tablet is amazing.

Not with kdlinks a100. There seems to be an issue with the DRM. I tried and it will give an error. Have you tried/looked into Google Chromecast. That will stream Playstore, Netflix, Youtube, and Hulu.

I don't know if it is the "best" option, but it is a very nice blu-ray player that streams netflix and amazon, easily syncs with a Samsung TV, is highly rated and has an affordable price. I am extremely happy with mine!

You can upload content on the micro SD card slot that is available and play it while connected via USB. Otherwise you'll need a wifi connection for other streaming functions

Hi Kassy, this DVD Player doesn't support streaming videos such as Netflix. -Vincent

It can play videos from SD Card and USB. It doesn't have built in UPnP so you would have to use another device to stream. I personally use a PlayStation 3 or Chrome cast.

Thanks for the info.Personally, I'm not terribly interested in all of the bells and whistles (like internetTV and wifi capability), but if this can play a good range of video files with varying codecs, it's looking like a good buy. :)

I used to have this device and it's very good for the price, I played 1080p movies without issues, netflix and such. I have also used VLC to play video and music files from a shared drive on a PC, I understand it's not the same as streaming movies from a NAS, however I do think VLC has that capability, so I don't see why it would not work.

I have an advice for you; throw that piece of crap and buy this one [G-Box Midnight MX2 Android 4.2 Jelly Bean Dual Core XBMC Streaming Mini HTPC TV Box Player]. If you really want a 5* Media Player that's The One!!!

Thanks, Grumpy Jay! About 70% of my movie list is classic movies, so that's perfect! And I'm very interested in checking out the British line, too. Woohoo!I don't yet have an HD TV. Hopefully I'll get one this year, but it's on the back burner for now. I'm assuming the Roku HD Player will work even w/o HD TV, right? And I have to have wireless, I'm guessing, which I do.Thanks again, Everyone! I really appreciate all the input!CJ

I guess the guy was right on the Wireless N speed, but with just 3 devices connected, the player should work well on G as well. It is most likely that a firmware update is needed (mine did twice after I got it), so recommend you to connect to wireless and allow the player to update itself. The netflix issue was resolved sometime back now. Recommend to tweak the sound (Hi-Clarity) and picture settings (24 P, Fine) for good playback. Enjoy!

No problem getting Netflix. Works well. All and all, this is a great streamer, especially if you have a lot of content on your HD. It will play almost all formats, including a lot which other units don't. For me this was the main factor for purchasing.

I've tried a few different video types but all through a smart bluray player. What are you playing? based on how it seems to function id say that should work.
