There is a simple answer. A cheap Sony/Samsung BR player with a USB slot. A basic player cost 30-40, and one with wifi comes in at 50. Hardly breaking the bank.

No thanks.

Is not the Elegiant S905 same thing as the raspberry? And cheaper?

I gave up on my WD TV recently. Too many issues to list. I went for a Stoga 2GB Android 6 TV box with Gigabit ethernet. Perfect so far and just a much better experience in all ways.

Would the one i linked to above be the same?

Ok, so 6 is the latest?

Think i will go for the Elegiant S905

I wouldn't. I had a quick look on EBay and the latest boxes have Marshmallow (6), 3gb ram, 4k streaming and the latest Kodi (17).

Your choice but the box you linked is out of date.

I dont use ebay though. Hate the place. Can you link to where i can get an up to date model please?

Quite a few running 6 and 4k on Amazon. Not sure what Kodi they have but you could always install the latest version yourself.

I find EBay OK for buying, bought an Android box a couple of years ago, wouldn't connect to my PC, refunded without issue.

Which ones on Amazon? Ta

Having said that, this one looks good:
