I need to play my 1080p or 720p or 480p movies and tv series on my tv.
I need to play my 3D Side by Side or Over Under 1080p movies on my tv.
All content comes from a NAS or a USB 3 drive.
Sound to come from the tv's stereo speakers. Only.
No amps, no preamps, no Dolbys, no DTSs, no HD Audios, no 7.1s, no 4Ks, no complicated connections, no demanding x265 formats, no full BR rips, no strange demands for 24, 25, 26, 27, 157 frames or what have you.
No Netflix, no YouTube, no Google or Amazon apps, no games, no HULU, no piracy plugins. Just locally stored content.
One box with a remote control (not a mouse, it's a media player), to be connected to a power supply, a LAN cable and a TV, that simply works.
I don't care about the cost, but it needs to work.

Get mede8er MED800X3D....It does all that.

Compared to the previous devices, the Shield was definitely a lot snappier. Problem is, it still had its issues. The device would get stuck after finishing one movie and before opening the next one (SPMC and source videos from NAS), or the image would go dark after fast forwarding but the audio would still keep playing, even after exiting SPMC and going back to the Shield's main menu. Up until yesterday, when I tried to turn it on as usual, and it wouldn't turn on. Tried whatever I could find online but nothing. Contacted NVIDIA support and they agreed to offer a replacement as the device is only 2 months old and unrooted. They seemed aware of the problem and only asked me very basic troubleshooting questions, such as "did you try a different wall socket?"

Let me say i never heard of that problems in the Shield, maybe you got a lemon, maybe the issue is your files....try to upload a file with problems in some dropbox and we can try it...
The alternatives to SPMC are Kodi and PLEX built-in ...does they have this issue too ?
