Game-consoles, DVD/Blu-ray players, and Smart TV is not in-scope for this article

It is also common to find digital media player functionality integrated in other consumer-electronic appliances today, such as

broadcast television, and their features to play or stream locally stored content, if they have any, are only secondary features. Just as we do not list the digital media players that you can play games on as video game consoles. Gamester17 (talk) 19:15, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply

Merging other digital media player for TV articles to this "Digital Media Player" article

Mobile digital media player article even if they can be connected to a TV (as it is not the primary purpose of a portable/mobile media player). Gamester17 (talk) 18:47, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply

Reason for the "Digital Media Player" article name

Renaming to official DLNA device class name "Digital Media Player" which defines network connected media players primary designed to be connected to a television.[1][2] Gamester17 (talk) 18:47, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Receiver" is short for
Digital media receiver article name, and I find no reference for a common acceptance in general for media players for TV devicses being called for "Digital Media Receiver" or even "Media Receiver". Gamester17 (talk) 18:47, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply

Other name suggestions was;
Net Connected Media Player (which are unacceptable because they use "HD" and "Net" which are abbreviation), also "Network Connected Media Player", "Digital Media Player", "Digital Media Streamer", and "Digital Media Hub", but those are less commonly used and find much less reference for them in use today.

Media streamer is a term now in wide use in 2015, so maybe this article should be considered for another rename? I'm not an expert on the topic. Additional comment follows.
The Best Media Streamers of 2015 (
PC Mag
Jun 24 2015]).
Best media streamers of 2015 (CNET Jul 25 2015).
Here's how we scored everything in our media streamer buying guide (Business Insider, Sep 15 2015).
Thus, I have today created blank page redirects to here from
Video streamer. 5Q5 (talk) 11:38, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply

SoC, CPU, GPU, VPU are not the same so should be separated

Please note and understand that SoC (System on Chip), CPU (Central Processing Unit), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and VPU (Video Decoding Unit) are not the same in a digital media player so should be separated in all references. Gamester17 (talk) 20:21, 7 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where do these fit in?

The Sony HAP-S1 and HAP-Z1ES have all of these features except video - they are audio only. They can play any common type of digital audio file. They have a built-in HD and can also use an external hard drive. They can also stream from some services and Internet radio. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 02:01, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think they can be covered here. This article doesn't need to be insistent that devices support video. A related question is what's the difference between a smart speaker and an audio media player and what about smart speakers that also have a screen. ~Kvng (talk) 14:02, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
