I just get VLC it plays everything
Mind you I did download a 4k video off youtube and it stuggled a bitThanks, don't you just hate people with sigs !0 -
FWIW ... I have a Nexbox Android box (quad core, 64 bit, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage) ... anyway, this box allows a USB WiFi device to be plugged in to allow a wireless remote keyboard to be used. If the USB port can be used that way, perhaps a USB to Ethernet device might work?
No idea if these scenarios are related - just thought I'd offer an opinion from personal experience.
Unfortunately not .. Although the device you are plugging in is technically wifi, the USB end is just pretending to be a HID and does no networking atall ..0 -

I'm not into 4k vid, but my phone vids struggle too with vlc. Use this instead

Update.
Not got round to changing Android box yet as partners been ill.....but the connection point of view.....getting a 5 way good quality USB splitter with great reviews for some of the devices. Thanks a lot for the help. As I put in my other threads....my cheapo chinese £18 box was reviewed online & was crap for 4k. Works fine on everything else-no I have BT fibre at 25mpbs. Will probably give to a friend as a present. The 3gb memory runs will at least be a bit less sticky & should run quicker....& no need for SD cards as 32gb memory. Again-thanks all!0
