Let me explain why I want such a thing. All I need is to play media files from USB storage. No streaming of any kind. No ads. No system updates which breaks everything (like on MiBox). There are some boxes on Amazon like Micca, but they have built-in, unupgradeable player. That's why I want Android, so I can sideload VLC and/or Kodi and update them in case of new codecs.
Yes, yes you can
Or just plug the usb stick in the side of your tv where the usb ports are and your tv will just play them on the built in player
Yes, It totally can.
Just need some players installed (sideload via apk)
All you have 2 do is plug the usb stick in the device and it should open up and give you the option 2 play.
Or just download a player and play it though that.
Yes it can. Might want to connect briefly to internet though if using Kodi and dont have your own NFO files for metadata. Not necessary, but metadata makes it a much better user experience IMO. You can also use a cheap router without internet to share/stream your Kodi library across other devices with Kodi installed.
