"This works as described. Plays everything I have in all different formats. I used this to replace a BluRay player I used to play movies from an external hard drive. I'm using NTFS for the external 1 TB drive.The only thing I don't like about it is that when the unit is turned off the drive does not turn off also, instead the drive activity light slowly flashes about one a second, I think this is some sort of 'standby mode' the units puts the drive in. The units needs an automatic shut off for the drive when the unit is turned off. If you disconnect the drive in this state, then plug it into a Windows 10/11 computer it comes up telling the drive has a problem and gives the option to fix it then something with the drive got 'corrupted'. If you let windows fix it then look at the drive you will find a 'LOST.DIR' folder. The 'LOST.DIR' is a directory created by the file system to store files that have been lost or corrupted but the 'LOST.DIR' is empty . So there is a 'corruption' of, in this case a NTFS, drive if the unit is powered down and the drive removed and this also happens if the power is removed from the unit before removing the drive. This means the unit is continually accessing the drive even when its powered off, even in that 1 second activity light flash time in a standby mode. Its safe to delete this 'LOST.DIR', its not a serious actual corruption problem but the fact that the folder is empty indicates something was not recognized as normal for the NTFS file system and that's probably because, it seems, the unit is using an Android based operating system as this is a folder that Android will create and hide on android devices. Other than this issue ... it works fine and does whats advertised, and I like it. But on the drive issue above it could stand a little improvement."
