I still read books mostly off my phone (samsung s8), and while most are surprised I'm not blind yet at 43, it works for me, including movies or whatever. Each their own. If you want a wifi-based media server, they are out there, but I've not seen any I'd invest in that didn't reek of chinese crap

FWIW, I just got hold of a "SanDisk Connect Wireless Stick” with 64GB of flash memory on it. Amazon has them really marked down right now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZCFYF2W I’d love to find something like this that was hackable — where I could load up my own software and run it. Be

Re: portable streaming media hardware question

I actually hate watching videos on my phone, or using it for much of anything that isn’t essential. It may have a relatively large screen (an LG V30) but it’s just too frigging small to view things comfortably for very long; and without earphones or something, I can barely hear it. (Why do speak

RE: portable streaming media hardware question

Our mails passed in the ether. I suggested an RPi, because I'm pretty sure it can stream video, unless maybe you're thinking 4k at 120FPS or something... A student of mine created a portable media server, with included video camera, on an RPi, in a cute little box, very small. And would a 8000

Did those Pi3b+s need, like, Class 10 SDXC boot drives? Do they produce full HD? Do they read from the SD or an external USB hard drive? I tried MATE on a Pi3b but VLC could not keep it moving even when given fullscreen. --- PLUG-discuss mailing lis

Re: portable streaming media hardware question

So I use a synology filer at home (two, actually), and replicate data using their cloud sync app on there on my androids. I do this mostly for books as I add new things I queue to read. At some point I intend to do the same for music. I do this on my local lan right now, so when it *can* hit the

I’ve got three mobile devices (plus my phone) with a 4th on the way, and I use them for different things and depending on my mood. ;-) I want to put the data on ONE DEVICE that could, preferably, fit in my pocket, and that would let me access the files on any of my other devices. If there’s an

why not just load it all on to your ipad? at the end of the day you're going to want a bigger screen to view all the material and if you keep accessing it through different devices there won't be any way to know where you left off when you switch to another device. tiny screens aren't really cond

If you've a standard android device that can run vlc, why not just push the files to sd there and play? I've done this for movies on my phone or android tablet, vlc is always good about resuming when used. Kodi as well. If apple lover, who knows, they want you to buy it all from them, and I don'

I recently purchased a course online, and I need to go through all of the materials. It’s hosted online, but is also available for download. So I just downloaded a bunch of files. They’re a combination of audio (MP3), video (MP4), some PDF files, and slides (PPT/PPTX). The total size exceeds my
