Media Player Recommendation for Videos on USB Drive

by BringSandwiches

Looking for a player for videos on a usb drive in folders - Movies / Music / TV.

I would like the player to go straight to these folders when opened, so I can choose which files to play.

Videos are just MPEG2 / MP4 / MKV Flash Videos - no DV / HDR.

Have tried:

VLC Player:

Audio but no video - just the orange logos.

MPV Player:

Plays videos fine but if playing a video in a folder, pressing back button goes back to the list of folders, instead of the current folder.

Also shows system folders like 'System Volume Information'

MX Player:

Works fine but shows all folders ie sub folders in main folders.

Just (Video) Player:

Have to choose USB drive on startup ie [/storage/505...].

Not very intuitive to navigate.

Can't find a settings option.

Use Kodi. By default it will detect any external USB drive.

I have my collection sorted the way yours is. Movies/Sci-Fi/Trek or Comedy/30Rock/Season1

You can configure Kodi to have the video menu be the default menu when it loads up, but it wont load up to the hdd folders.

I’ve yet to find something as good as roku’s media player. Their internal dev was active in their forum when refreshing it a few years ago and gave out betas to test. I put it through its paces, got him to add some nice features too. Like folders that overflow naturally so you don’t have to side scroll to see anything.
