Popcorn Chameleon Android Player
Since there is no cable television in the home, only one itv is in the bedroom and the living room is a HTPC. It is inconvenient for children to watch online video, so they have been thinking about playing an Android player. The requirement is that the local playback function must be strong + network. video. Before and after in the major forums, Taobao saw a lot of machines, and finally caught a popcorn chameleon player.
Since I did a lot of preparation before I bought it, I used it smoothly after I got it. Its advantage lies in its own custom XBMC player, perfectly compatible with all kinds of existing high-definition movies, 3D can also support, which depends on XBMC's powerful playback capabilities. I've also bought an Android player before, Maritime's M3. It is similar to Haimeidi's player, which is similar to the network player. The same software can be installed, with little difference. But the local play function, chameleon's XBMC is much stronger than Haimeidi's XBMC, Haimeidi M3 plays an ordinary 1080P movie basically no pressure, but playing 30G+ original disc is not enough, the buffer is powerful, I guess it is the machine performance Not enough, otherwise it is non-professional custom XBMC, not to have a thorough understanding of the hardware performance of M3. Chameleon XBMC test for a few days, the film inside of my hard drive to eat, from the 720P-1080P-Blu-ray original, all without difficulty, so far, the only thing that does not support is iso image 3D movie does not support, the default playback is 2D, this is the XBMC problem, and my previous HTPC use XBMC software is also the case, must use POWERDVD and other software to watch 3D, but the ordinary MKV format 3D movie is no pressure.
Here I compare the advantages and disadvantages of chameleons with M3 and HTPC:
Take photos of the two HTPCs and Sea Medic M3 along with chameleons:
Chameleon - Advantages: Local playback is powerful, comes with a customized version of XBMC, updated very quickly, basically keeping up with the mainstream XBMC version. No problem with my TW5200 projector, the picture quality is very good. And because it is an Android system, you can freely install all kinds of online video software, which is equivalent to local + network access.
Disadvantages: So far, the best player software is a built-in XBMC, temporarily ios version of the 3D movie has no solution, can only download the MKV version of the 3D movie, and compared to most of the Android player on the market, the price Slightly expensive.
Haimeidi M3 - Advantages: Cost-effective, both local and online video, suitable for entry level.
Disadvantages: The local playability is slightly worse, XBMC software upgrade ability is poor, to go to the network to find a special version, more costly!
HTPC - Advantages: The best compatibility, because it is a computer, many software, you have to know. Perfectly play all kinds of video, no matter how big bit rate video, as long as you can machine, there is no problem. I used the SSD disk as the system, booted quickly, and entered the XBMC playback interface in 9 seconds.
Disadvantages: playing online video is too much trouble, you need to install Youku, potatoes, and other video software, unlike the Android system to install a VST can basically eat online online video. Therefore, children are very inconvenient to operate and suitable for professionals to play . And, the price is among the most expensive among these three, and basically can buy 2+ chameleons.
Final conclusion: The performance of the player is demanding, and want to be compatible with new video formats later, DIY buy HTPC, perfect compatibility!
Want to save trouble, but also want to have strong performance to buy popcorn chameleon.
People who do not have a high demand for local video, or basically do not buy Blu-ray discs to buy back a M3 is enough, the local + network can basically meet your basic requirements.
Finally attached to the Taobao connection, the basic price of a whole Taobao.
