We got our hands on another networked media player — the Xtreamer Media Player and Streamer, a small and portable media player.
Unlike the other popular media players out there, the Xtreamer uses the smaller 2.5″ portable HDD which makes for the smaller form factor. You need to buy and install the HDD separately.
There’s not a lot of ports at the back but I think it’s just enough — an HDMI, 2 USB, Composite, USB Host (for WiFi 802.11 N), Ethernet 10/100, and Analog/Digital Audio. The unit can play audio, photo and videos up to 1080p.
The Xtreamer supports the following video file formats: MPEG HD, XVid, DivX, MKV, MP4 and H.264; as well as audio formats: MP3, WMA, AAC, OGG, WAV, FLAC and DTS decoding (including down-mixing).
The unit alone costs about Php6,000+ (Php6.2k in Sulit) but that does not include the HDMI cable, the antenna for WiFi and the internal HDD.

with torrent downloading capability?
Sorry, another dummy question: ano ginagawa nito? It gives me an impression that you hook it into your TV set? tama ba? then, ano na? hehe. What is this for? something like watching YouTube or Mega Video on your TV screen? So does it mean, pwede kang mag-internet using this as your CPU and TV as your monitor?

Design is good, it only looks like Wi-Fi router.
@luiboowee it is a networked media player or (tank). It is able to playback several media file types especially high definition movies (yung mga type pwedeng madownload sa internet or mga sariling mong gawa).
I personally like the Xtreamer kahit wala siyang torrent client because it plays movies smoothly (even 1080p movies).
I wonder how this performs when used in conjunction with an NAS.

@chris – I strongly agree.
hehe
can it do torrents?
eto yung katapat ng ac ryan ko although this one is newer because of the smaller form factor. both use realtek chipset instead of the usual sigma. did you buy this or review unit ulit? sino nagdidistribute?
Hi abe!
I hope you can do side-by-side comparison discussing the specs as well as pros and cons between WD TV, Briteview Cinematube and this Xtreamer.
Thanks and more power!
uu nga parang wi-fi router… pero ganda ng mga features…
waaah, di ko maintindihan. huhuhu.
bakit me antenna sya if nakakabit naman sa tv? me lcd tv ako, how can i take advantage of it with this gadget?
sencia na sa ignorance. hehe.
The antenna is the wifi dongle. once you hook that up to your Xtreamer, you can stream movies from your computer to the xtreamer without transferring it.
The most important thing it can do is reading mkv files without hiccups.
@calvin – review unit distributed by PCTrends.
@hanakiri,
media player yan. kung ayaw mo na magburn sa DVD ng downloads mo dyan mo na lang ilagay. kaya may antenna para di mo na kelangan bumili ng cable para ma-transfer yung files from PC to the xtreamer. optional lang naman yung antenna kasi hindi naman lahat naka-router.
abe can i can i? samahan na rin ng 2.5″ para ma-test kung gano kabilis transfer from PC to it. at wifi router n. kasi g lang router ko. hahaha.
i love media players. i just download movies from the net, transfer them to a usb or external hdd and plug it into my media player which i bought for just 3k. the beauty of it is that you can download movies with subtitles in languages other than thai or chinese. best of all you can watch mp4 movies in a bigger screen than ur portable mp4 player as well as give your computer a rest if you’re just gonna watch a movie. i’ve even transferred my favorite dvd movie collection to my external hdd so i could watch them everywhere. also, you can now share videos your friends and families uploaded to youtube right on your tv. isn’t technology sweet?
USB WiFi Antenna enable user to connect the Xtreamer to a network wirelessly – get and share file across the network or via internet. You can also watch videos from Youtube and many other video streming sites or Listen to live Internet Music. Mayrun din syang NAS and FTP Server capabilities.
mga kuyang,
pardon my ignorance. how does the wifi work? can this player really ‘live stream’ directly from the net? can we input/edit url’s or built-in na? tsaka wifi/n na, di na b/g. do we need to score a new router?
Hi,
Where can I purchase A.C.Ryan PLAY ON here in the Philippines?
Please help. THKS!
where can i buy a replacement remote for this unit? i own one but i have lost my remote control, please somebody help me. baka naman may mabibilhan ako d2 satin.
Same prob here. may have lost the remote. how can i continue using the same without the ability to turn it on?
I don’t think you can buy a seperate remote for it. which kinda sucks. I own a CinemaTube, it plays beautifully specially with the recent firmware update, the good thing about it is that you can buy extra remote for it just in case you lose one.
