I'm currently using Windows Media Player for watching DVDs. Unfortunately if I close the player, I lose my position. My main requirement is that I want a player that will remember my position, even if I restart the computer or accidentally eject the DVD.

I recommend media player classic which is available with klite codec package almost every day (I've not used it with dvd though) and it's one of the best media player applications I've ever used. This nice application can remember almost everything include

Before I switched on Linux, I used VLC and BSplayer. Both are good media players but since you seem to have issues with VLC you may try BSplayer.Bsplayer has a free and paid version. Paid version is quite expensive (29.90 EUR for a new licence at the moment and 19.90 EUR if renewing a licence). In BSplayer, for seeing DVD menus, you will need a paid version, free version recognises only .vob files and does not read DVD menus.

Rythmbox for music as it can play my uPnP/DLNA library. It is so pity that no other GNOME/GTK music players can play uPnP/DLNA sources
VLC for music/videos because I can throw any media format at it.

As I have gstreamer1 requirements with other packages this makes for a very lightweight solution. I have been looking at mpv and vlc dependencies vs gstreamer and all three seem to use the same packages for codecs, mainly ffmpeg. With the package versions from rpmfusion I would not expect any difference in support for media types from any of these choices.

As we all know the popular and robust WD media devices were discontinued several years ago and most of us have been finding ways to keep using our (potentially) decade old WD media devices and or find alternatives and so this post is about what are WD media players owners current options for alternatives as of Dec 2019? What are some consumer friendly and readily available alternatives to these beloved but long discontinued devices?

My goal is to replace my own WD media devices but also to start a thread that others will benefit from in the future if like m,e they come to this site looking for advice on what to do now that their own WD media device is in need of replacing.

Android Zombie TV Boxes, ;), multitudes of them, and are the cheapest out there.
But if you do go for one of them, make sure you first read this guide:

Most utilize Amlogic, or RK33** chipsets with varying quality, and performance.
Also, not all Android TV boxes allow rooting it with a LibreElec installation.

Mac computers are great but Mac owners often report odd behaviors when they share a SD card or USB drive between a Mac and non-Mac devices, including Micca digital photo frames and media players. The issue is most likely caused by the following:

Micca digital media players support the vast majority of commonly used storage device types, includingSD cards and USB hard drives. There are, however, limitations that users should be aware of. The SDcards and USB drives must meet the following requirements:

The affected Seagate Expansion USB hard drives use their own power supply and has a delayed turn-on mechanism that is not supported by the Micca Speck media player. When connected to the Micca Speck, the Speck detects the drive but is not able to read its contents or play any media files from it. Older Seagate Expansion desktop USB hard drives, as well as Seagate portable USB hard drives are not affected by this compatibility issue.

There has been no reports of incompatibility with other brands of external desktop USB hard drives such as Western Digital or Toshiba. This issue is unique to the specific Seagate USB hard drive models listed above.

Micca recently released the new MPLAY-HD Mini digital media player, positioned as an affordable upgrade to the Speck G2. The MPLAY-HD Mini shares the same compact aluminum design, but offers a host of upgrades in capability with only a modest increase in price. Here are the main improvements that the MPLAY-HD Mini has over the Speck G2:

Please note that despite these improvements, the MPLAY-HD Mini still has some limitations that are important to keep in mind: it does not play HEVC/H.265 videos, 10-bit MKV, or videos with resolution higher than 1920x1080p, such as 4K videos.

Micca Speck G2 supports USB flash drives and USB hard drives that are 2TB or smaller in size. In the past, all drives smaller than 2TB have shipped from the factory with MBR partition tables, which is supported nearly universally by computers and electronics. Recently, manufacturers like Western Digital and Seagate have begun shipping newer USB hard drives with GPT partition table even for drives that are 2TB or smaller. This has caused numerous issues with users of older version of Windows, various backup software, and many media devices like the Micca Speck G2. When the Micca Speck G2 encounters such a drive, it will show the USB drive letter, but not be able to read any of the files.

For everyday users, there is no practical difference between MBR and GPT, especially when it comes to a USB hard drive that is used to carry large amount of files in bulk. Therefore, this guide shows you how you can take a USB hard drive that is 2TB or smaller, check to see if it is using GPT, and switch it to using MBR instead. Doing so not only makes the drive compatible with the Micca Speck G2, but with all other computers and electronics.

2. Backup Your FilesChanging the partition table from GPT to MBR will erase the content of the drive, so be sure to start by copying the files off of the drive to a safe location. You will copy the files back onto the drive when done.

Warning: The purpose of the Windows Recyclin Bin and MacOS Trash Can is to allow you to recover previously deleted files that you later need. The steps below permanently empties these folders so you will not be able to recover these files again. Proceed only if you are certain that you do not need these files.

For MacOS, there is unfortunately no built-in way to empty just the Trash Can on a USB drive; all Trash Can folders on all drives are emptied by default. To empty the Trash Can for all drives, plug your USB drive into the Mac, wait for it to mount. Next choose Empty Trash under the Finder menu or press Command+Shift+Delete. A pop up will ask you to confirm that you wish to empty the Trash Can.

Encoding a video in 720p or 1080p high definition format is easier than ever thanks to the availability of free and well working tools like Handbrake. This tutorial will show you how to use this wonderful tool to recode videos into popular MP4 or MKV formats for playback on Micca products that support 720p and 1080p video playback. To start, download and install Handbrake suitable for your operating system from the link below:

Video: Encoding settings for the video track. The Quality setting on this tab can be useful even for novice users. Constant quality is the preferred setting. Make small adjustments to this value and do not change more than 2-3 away from the default value.

In the process of performing firmware updates for the Micca Speck G3/4K digital media players, if the process is interrupted or if an error occurs in the upgrade process, the media player may become stuck in an intermediate state and not complete the firmware update process. In order to recover the media player from this state, please follow the instructions below.

I had installed VLC media player from the Ubuntu Software Center recently. It worked for some time, but then instead of the video, only a blank screen was displayed with the audio. Even the same videos that could be played before did not work.

How I found this out: I have a playlist file on the desktop. I typically press the "Show Desktop" button to minimize all windows before I run that playlist file. If VLC was already opened, it is now minimized. If I then open the playlist file, the VLC windows will pop back up, but the video will fail.
