<div>There are a bunch of cheap HD media players on the market. I am wondering if anyone purchased one and used it with mythtv. So far, I have been happy with the Asus OPlay HD media player. At first I used it to play from CIFS share of the recording directory with scripts to do some nice symlinking to arrange the media, however with the new 1.17 firmware, the upnp stuff seems to just work with mythbackend. I think for $100 it did it job well and does HD, it's form factor is small and quiet. Oh another thing, my mythtv setup is using HD homerun. Recordings can be watched on the OPlay without transcording. Also it seems to play most other formats that I throw at it. I wish it could do commercial skipping, but right now it doesnt and if I want commercial skipping I just do a mpeg2->mpeg2 transcoding with the cutlist to remove commercials.</div>
