My media library setup in the van

Post by ringo »

Hi,

A few people have asked me about my medial setup in my van.

Basically its a media player like this:
http://www.ebuyer.com/225049-xenta-hdmi ... -sd-pdm05h

with a 12v to 5v converter like this:

I have a 330GB usb hard disk (which i dropped a lot of movies from my home computer on (mostly .avi's but this plays most things)) which plugs into the media player and the media player goes into my 12v TV.

Hope that helps :D

No mate. Just store files on it.

Photos, music, videos etc.

Dead easy.
