AC Ryan Playon!HD Mini 2 review

 

As it had happened with the original PlayOnHD! series, ACRyan has released the mini version of the popular PlayOnHD2! network media player, based on the same engine and a better firmware that keeps our interest got the device high.

Listing some negatives, we found the network copying speeds to be low, but that's something we can live with.

AC Ryan Playon!HD Mini 2 Review

 

A lot has happened with AC Ryan's Playon! line-up since I took a look at the original Mini last fall, with a GUI overhaul being the most noticeable and important change. There are a ton of new Internet features packed in as well, and thanks to the...

To date, I haven't found what I'd consider to be a "perfect" set-top media player, and nor does the Playon!HD Mini 2 fill that void. That doesn't mean that it's not fantastic, though, and in fact, it is. So much so, that it's without question the best...

AC Ryan PlayOn!HD Mini 2 review

 

The Mini 2 is an update to the PlayOn!HD Mini and has a new remote control and interface. As well as HDMI, component and composite video interfaces, it has stereo phono and optical S/PDIF audio outputs, two USB ports, and a fast Gigabit Ethernet port.

Excellent file support and a low price, but the interface is clumsy and slow and the streamer doesn't support many internet services

Persevere and this is a rewarding product

 

This is the second AC Ryan I have bought. I have an original Playon HD with built in hard drive and bought this one to use in a bedroom with a USB drive holding movies. The only negative (hence 4 stars) is that in both cases the firmware needed...

Good Product but lacks instructions

 

I bought the product on the recommendation of a friend, who has the previous version of the Playon. I knew from all the reviews that the Playon had a very basic instruction manual, but I thought "how hard could it be".. I work in IT and do also have a...
