Chinese electronics manufacturer Hualu has recently released 3 Bluray players BDP0801, BDP0810 and BDP0821.
Of particular interest to us is the BDP0821.
This player has a USB port that allows users to plug in a USB harddisk and play the formats this player supports. This includes AVI, WMV, MKV and TS files with up encoded streams of 1080p H.264, MPEG2 or VC-1. Direct stream output of AC3 and DTS audio streams is supported but not higher end codecs. Only bluray discs playback supports this.
USB drive supported is NTFS format and srt subtitles is supported too.
While this player has a ethernet port, it can only use it for accessing BD-Live content.
BDP-0821 is firmware upgradable so it remains to see if the manufacturer can build in more functions into it.
Next time we will also cover their networked media media HMC8161 (non-NMT).
