Xtreamer Media Player & Streamer

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. The antenna for the WiFi is also important if you want to stream content thru the player without using the wired LAN port.

The device is a perfect fit to those who want to bring their HD content anywhere they go. Just hook it up to your hotel’s HDTV and you have your own selection of movies and TV series, all for free. The player is positioned against the portable WDTV of Western Digital although the latter does not have an internal storage.

    Mga sir, can this player support 24 bit/96 khz audio?
    and album art? Bec. I had some music albums in 24/96 flac format.
    If the player can play 24/96 I will buy this bec. my primary concern is the audio ability and also the ability to play internet radio.

    Yes some LCD / LED TVs has USB ports
    but xtreamer is different.
    You can play full 1080p Videos
    It has multiple formats support unlike most LCD / LED TVs which are limited to mpeg
    And it has a wifi N dongle which allows you to play youtube videos and other internet content

    It also allows you to stream your media from your computer to the TV.

    And yes, it supports offline downloading from torrents / rapidshare but I have yet to test this since its only available in Xtreamer e-trayz :)

    In addition, as I have understand, the function of the Xtreamer looks just the same as the external hard drive, since LCD/LED TV’s nowadays have an external port for USB’s, etc. Friends, can you please elaborate the uses and advantage of the said player. Sorry for asking, I’m planning to buy one, might as well look for a help with this one. Thanks again and more power.

    pardon my ignorance friends, may i just ask when watching a live stream movie, will the resolution depend on what only the site is offering? I had an experience during a live stream in my computer, since it was only a free live stream, tendencies are it hungs with a bad resolution. How will the Xtreamer help this kind of issue? I will appreciate any reply regarding this matter, thanks.

    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.
