This is my 3rd media player purchase from kdlinks. Previous ones being a200 and a300. Have gone for the subsequent versions due to certain improvements being done in the respective hardware. Like a300 supported 4k which a200 did not, and a400 supports 10 bit as well, which a300 does not. But having said this, one thing which is common to all three players is the world class playback performance, which comes guaranteed with their product. If you are looking for a media player which will play without hiccups and be a perfect companion to your home theater setup, look no further. I cannot say enough about the performance, which amply justifies the price, making it the best value for money product. Having used couple of other brands of media players before, i can honestly say kdlinks is perhaps the only one which delivers everything stated on the specs. The excellent support from eric is the icing on the cake as in my entire history of purchases, i’ve not come across a vendor so customer centric, to not only to give an immediate response to your email queries, but also resolve them to your best satisfaction. He will leave no stone unturned to ensure that you are thoroughly happy with your purchase.
After updating firmware to hmd-2. 121317 youtube does not work. The android version 7 is outdated and will not download the youtube app in the playstore. So youtube will not work until a fix is provided. Apparently no fix will be provided, so if youtube is important than search for smartyoutube. Download the smartyoutube apk and install it. 1 sometimes crashes kodi and has to reboot. Had to downgrade to kyrpton 17. Been using aeon nox silvo as my skin for awhile now, and its my favorite skin. I now have a 6tb and a 8tb external hard drive attached to the usb ports. I do not have any internal drives, just because the external wd drives are much cheaper. The subtitle download has been broken for a couple weeks.
I really do love this media player. I transferred a 3tb internal hdd (80% full) from a kdlinks hd720 to the a400, connected power and hdmi, pressed power and the a400 recognized the drive and played the existing movies without problems. This media player was my first time to use kodi, and to my delight it was easy to set up and shipped already upgraded to the newest version of krypton 17. I notice no difference in audio or video quality playing from the internal hdd, usb or over the network. The a400 has played every file type i have without fail and without buffering with audio ranging from 2 channel stereo to 7. Kdlinks media players have continued to improve with each version. 0, dolby atmos to name a few, many more i have not yet explored. I would recommend this media player to everyone. The support from this company is top notch.
This is my third kdlinks streaming device. I have found the quality to be great and it performs very well. I only use the kdlinks a400 to stream videos from my household server. The video is really impressive with 4k content. The sound is passed through very well. I use the box with its native interface and directory/file menu. The remote is fine except for one thing – there is no formal fast forward or rewind. You can move forward and backward in a video but it is clunky and inaccurate. It helps to be a little network savvy when setting up your box, and the support from kdlinks is very responsive.
I am writing this review a good 4 months after making my purchase and want to empart some info that was not found in any other reviews. I’ll try to make this a simple and fast as possible. Will support 14tb internal hard drive, but if you have over 10,000 movies like me, kodi will get a bit laggy when loading up so many movies at once. However, when going through my movies in the on board media explorer, fast as lightning. Will support 14tb external drive as well. (note) i had movies on both 14tb hard drives and for some reason, when both the internal and external hard drives were plugged in, kodi, for whatever reason would not allow me to select movie files from both hard drives. Easy fix – i put all the movies on one drive and all the documentaries and shows on the other. Pretty sure the issue had something to do with the meta data and how kodi was unable to read from both drives, i don’t know, anyway. But this if you have the cash to blow, it is worth it.
