Western Digital WD TV Live Plus 1080p HD Media Player

Western Digital WD TV Live Plus 1080p HD Media Player
I bought this so I could play transcoded media in my Toyota Sienna minivan. Kids and physical media don't mix. I primarily have matroska MKV files with h.264 video, eng subtitles and ac3 passthrough audio. I also have some apple mp4/m4v containers and some mp3 and aac audio. All of this plays through this thing, not problem. 

At home the DLNA player supports chapter markers, subtitles, fastforward/rewind. It has rca/composite out, component out and HDMI. Also has optical audio. Video quality is great. It's like VLC in a box. 

It's a little slow to boot up and the Netflix app does not support search. The menus could be better but I could say that about all of these type devices. 

Works flawlessly for what I bought it for.
