Portable DVD players

[Nesting Zombie]

To date I have just used my Laptop for pretty much the sole purpose of playing DVDs & other saved shows via inserting my portable 5TB hard-drive in the USB & it Bluetooths to a portable speaker for better sound quality.
Waste of a Laptop & to be honest the screen & Footprint is just too big.
SO
I’m looking for a Portable DVD player.
Now THIS one ticks a LOT of boxes -

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01326XJSI/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=A38LV6YX6L0XKI&psc=1

It’s Cheap enough, 12v, it’s fairly good Quality, Size is good for me, Compact & Portable etc etc.
BUT
It’s NOT Bluetooth, & has Only ONE USB so I can’t put a Bluetooth sender / adapter in & my Hard Disk Drive at the same time.
Any Thoughts ?
What do YOU use ?.

Surely you can use a wire from the headphone output to your speaker?

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Yeah, & did think of that St3v3 if there isn’t a Bluetooth option.I really don’t want the Let’s say ‘inconvenience’of Wires.

You could use something like this to send to your bt speaker
Bluetooth Transmitter , Wireless Portable Stereo USB: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

or this to send an fm signal to the radio
TeckNet 3.5mm In Car Universal Wireless FM Transmitter Radio Car Kit: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

these are two of the cheaper ones if you cannot find a DVD player with bluetooth

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Hmmm
Haven’t seen the likes of the first one, That’s Looking good as an option because it would leave the Only USB port on the player open for the Hard drive

 

[mariesnowgoose]

The first one looks like a good bit of non-expensive kit for 'blue-toothing' non bluetooth gear.

Also small enough to not be too much in the way when plugged into the device, in NZ's case the DVD player.

 

[Tezza33]

I use them to send to BT headphones from a none BT TV, I use the FM transmitter to send the signal to a kitchen radio, buying from Amazon means easy returns if it doesn't work for you but I have been using them for years, I use a BT receiver on standard speakers and headphones as well

Dvd is dead, why not run from usb pen which most portable tvs have.

I will google what that is Trev

I had mis-read your opening post and missed the bit where you said you had a 5TB portable hard drive, if all your media is already on a hard drive try an Android TV box like this
Android TV Box, Sidiwen T95MAX+ Android 9.0 TV box 4GB: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
I use one very similar but paid a lot more a few years ago, I can use it for streaming youtube, bbc iplayer or in fact all the catch up services etc or just watching films from my hard drive, less to go wrong than a DVD player as well
This is the one I have and the specs are not much different but the one above is almost a third of the price and if I was buying a new one it is the one that I would choose
Xsarius Q8 V2 OTT 4K UHD Premium Internet TV Android 8.0 IP Player H.265 WLAN 8719189305821 | eBay

Edit: made it clearer which one is a cheaper

How about an iPad 12.9” lightening to usb adaptor to connect to an external hard drive and a Bluetooth speaker?

 

[trevskoda]

I will google what that is Trev

A pen drive is what you copy or move files pictures or vids on using a pc, then you can play on a tv phone or tablet,tv.

Or a multi USB adapter like in the link below.

Multi USB adapter.

I've just been out to the truck, and I have a Nam-gear ng-6876, not that I can see any reference to it on the net lol.

Runs from cigarette socket (0.5A at 13V)
7 inch screen
Remote control (lol)
Headphone out socket - 3.5mm
USB input.

So the screen is a fair bit smaller than you were looking at, but if it's any good to you it's yours for some tinned liquid currency

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Awww Brilliant,,,I will of course arrange for the liquid currency. I will PM you soon with my Mobile number so we can speak if that’s ok

 

[Nesting Zombie]

But you will have to supply your OWN glass !.

[campervanannie]
