Best DLNA-Based Player?
Ideally I would like it to support as many formats as possible natively, but I am not worried if my computer has to transcode anything. It needs to support 110v/60hz but ideally I would like for it to be dual voltage (110/220v 50/60hz) as I am in the military and can go anywhere in the world. It can be a standalone unit (no dvd/bluray support), but if it does have that, I wouldn't be opposed to it. I would like for it to support wireless (preferably built-in, but an addon card/dongle would be ok).
Essentially this is what I want.
- Playback support of most formats
- Dual-voltage (not absolutely necessary, but if not, it would need to be 110v)
- Standalone unit or DVD/Bluray player (don't own any blurays, and most dvd's are ripped onto my harddrive, so a disc player isn't a huge deal for me)
- If it does support dvd/bluray, it would need to be region 1 or region free
- Prefer built-in wireless (but wireless-ready necessary, after going wireless on my xbox, I don't want that network cord going across the floor anymore)
- Capable of 1080p output (preferably through HDMI)
- Support for Thumbnails/Movie Posters
I had thought about getting a PS3, but I have heard of issues on the forums with detection, and I really don't think I will play games on the console enough to justify it (I barely use my xbox for gaming). Getting a TV with it built-in is currently out of the question. I am happy with my 46" Samsung, and it is only a little over a year old (DLNA-based tv's weren't very common and the base didn't have any). I am not opposed to getting a dvd player/bluray, but I most likely wouldn't really use the disc portion of it, so it would probably just be a waste and I don't currently own any blurays and am not worried about what I am missing out on (from the distance I sit from the TV the quality isn't really noticeable).
Overall I am open to any suggestions that meet the criteria above. The xbox is just too limited in respect to DLNA support, and it is pretty power hungry.
