Ac ryan mediaplayer6/9/2023 ![]() There is an optional Wireless adapter available, but I wouldn't recommend this for streaming HD at all. The Ethernet port on the PlayOn is 100mbit, which is plenty fast enough for streaming all HD file types. ![]() Personally, I'll be streaming everything from my Synology DS710+ NAS. There is a larger PlayOn unit that hosts a 3.5" SATA drive internally, but this is an extra £45. Blu-Tak or purchasing some small rubber feet from B&Q is recommended. One problem with it being so small is that the cables you plug into the back move the unit around. Its so small because there is no hard drive in it, all media is streamed via over the network OR via an attached USB drive. Measuring just 151 x 102 x 42mm, its the tiniest device you're likely to see. So after a bit of research, I have a AC Ryan PlayOn!HD Mini media player retailing around the £90 mark. (The Apple TV solution was still in development) Then I wanted something smaller, so I moved the Mac Mini upstairs and bought an Apple TV (with the Crystal HD card), but after playing with that for a while I decided I wanted something that could be guaranteed to be play all HD types. I sold that and moved onto a Mac Mini running Plex, which was great having all the codecs built into the software, so no messing. My High Definition media player history is certainly varied.Īround 2 and a half years ago, I started with a custom built HTPC and all the codec issues associated with that.
