Nexus 7 Audio/Video / Watching MKV movie files from a external hard drive
« on: March 17, 2014, 03:28:29 PM »
Hi All,
Looking to buy a 7inch tablet to play MKV movies (each around 10GB in size) off an external hard drive, and it seems that the 2012 Nexus 7 would be the best choice for me if i can do the following?
Use any 5400RPM external hard drive (loaded with MKV movies) and connect via mini-usb
Use Nexus Media Importer App to stream the films to be played using MX Player App.
Is it possible to use MX player to play a MKV that will then be streamed via the Nexus Media Importer App?
I dont really want to have to copy the MKV files to local storage each time.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for the help!
Simon
