I use a SageTV HD300 Media Player for file playback of .mkv (and .iso) Blu-Ray Rips.
Lately I have found a lot of file incompatibility with the SageTV HD300 insofar as VLC will playback virtually all .mkv BD ripped files while the SageTV HD300 fails to playback 10-20% of the time.
My files are primarily .mkv Blu-Ray Rips.
I vastly prefer the HW Decoding of a media player such as the SageTV HD300 over a PC's SW Decoding with VLC or equivalent.
So, I am in the market for a new Media Player that would be an upgrade to the HD300 that would have universal file compatibility (all 5.1/7.1 DTS and Dolby HD and Master formats).
What is the best and most compatible trouble free Media Player available?
RealTek vs. Sigma Chip based Media Players?
Thanks in advance!
