History By November 2000, an audio-only digital media player was demonstrated by a company called SimpleDevices, which was awarded two patents covering this invention in 2006.
Developed under the SimpleFi name by in late 2001, the design was based on a Cirrus Arm-7 processor and the wireless networking standard which pre-dated 802.11b in the residential markets. Other early market entrants in 2001 included the, and digital media players. An early version of a video-capable digital media player was presented by F.C. In the International Conf.
On Consumer Electronics in 2002. It included a network interface card, a media processor for audio and video decoding, an analog video encoder (for video playback to a TV), an audio digital to analog converter for audio playback, and an IR (infrared receiver) for remote-control-interface. A concept of a digital media player was also introduced by Intel in 2002 at the as part of their “Extended Wireless PC Initiative.'

Intel was among the first to use the Linux embedded operating system and technology for its digital media player. Networked audio and DVD players were among the first consumer devices to integrate digital media player functionality.

A wireless media extender from for music streaming and multi-room entertainment Market impact on traditional television services The convergence of content, technology, and broadband access allows consumers to stream television shows and movies to their high-definition television in competition with providers. The research company SNL Kagan expects 12 million households, roughly 10%, to go without cable, satellite or telco video service by 2015 using services.
This represents a new trend in the broadcast television industry, as the list of options for watching movies and TV over the Internet grows at a rapid pace. Research also shows that even as traditional television service providers are trimming their customer base, they are adding Internet customers. Nearly 76.6 million U.S.
Households get broadband from leading cable and telephone companies, although only a portion have sufficient speeds to support quality video steaming. Convergence devices for home entertainment will likely play a much larger role in the future of broadcast television, effectively shifting traditional revenue streams while providing consumers with more options. According to a report from the researcher NPD In-Stat, only about 12 million U.S. Households have their either Web-capable TVs or digital media players connected to the Internet, although In-Stat estimates about 25 million U.S. TV households own a set with the built-in network capability.
Also, In-Stat predicts that 100 million homes in North America and western Europe will own digital media players and television sets that blend traditional programs with Internet content by 2016. Use for illegal streaming Since at least 2015, dealers have marketed digital media players, often running the Android operating system and branded as being ' fully-loaded', that are promoted as offering free streaming access to copyrighted media content, including films and television programs, as well as. These players are commonly bundled with the open source media player software, which is in turn pre-loaded with enabling access to services streaming this content without the permission of their respective copyright holders. These 'fully-loaded' set-top boxes are often sold through online marketplaces such as and, as well as websites and local retailers. The spread of these players has been attributed to their ease of use (with user experiences similar to legal subscription services such as ) and low cost, as well as the content that is offered from the services pre-installed on the boxes. 'Fully-loaded' set-top boxes have been subject to legal controversies, especially noting that their user experiences made them accessible to end-users who may not always realize that they are actually streaming pirated content. In the United Kingdom, the (FACT) has taken court actions on behalf of rightsholders against those who market digital media players pre-loaded with access to copyrighted content.
In January 2017, an individual seller plead not guilty to charges of marketing and distributing devices that. In March 2017, the ruled that, and must block servers that had been used on such set-top boxes to illegally stream football games. Later in the month, banned the sale of 'certain media players' that had been pre-loaded with software to illegally stream copyrighted content.
On 26 April 2017, the ruled that the distribution of set-top boxes with access to unauthorized streams of copyrighted works violated the exclusive rights to communicate them to the public. In September 2017, a British seller of such boxes pled guilty to violations of the for selling devices that can circumvent effective. In Canada, it was initially believed that these set-top boxes fell within a legal grey area, as the transient nature of streaming content did not necessarily mean that the content was being downloaded in violation of. However, on 1 June 2016, a consortium of Canadian media companies (, and ) obtained a temporary federal injunction against five retailers of Android-based set-top boxes, alleging that their continued sale were causing 'irreparable harm' to their television businesses, and that the devices' primary purpose were to facilitate copyright infringement. The court rejected an argument by one of the defendants, who stated that they were only marketing a hardware device with publicly-available software, ruling that the defendants were 'deliberately encouraging consumers and potential clients to circumvent authorized ways of accessing content.' 11 additional defendants were subsequently added to the suit. The lawyer of one of the defendants argued that retailers should not be responsible for the actions of their users, citing that the devices, as well as other tablets and computers, can be used for legal or illegal purposes.
In April 2017, the blocked an appeal requesting that the injunction be lifted pending the outcome of the case. Although the software is free to use, the developers of Kodi have not endorsed any add-on or Kodi-powered device intended for facilitating copyright infringement. Nathan Betzen, president of the XBMC Foundation (the non-profit organization which oversees the development of the Kodi software), argued that the reputation of Kodi had been harmed by third-party retailers who 'make a quick buck modifying Kodi, installing broken piracy add-ons, advertising that Kodi lets you watch free movies and TV, and then vanishing when the user buys the box and finds out that the add-on they were sold on was a crummy, constantly breaking mess.' Betzen stated that the XBMC Foundation was willing to enforce its against those who use them to promote Kodi-based products which facilitate copyright infringement. Following a lawsuit by against TVAddons, a website that offered streaming add-ons often used with Kodi and on such devices, in June 2017, the group shut down its add-ons and website, seemingly in response to the suit. A technology analyst speculated that the service could eventually re-appear under a different name in the future, as have.
In June, the service's operator was also sued by the Bell/Rogers/Videotron consortium for inducing copyright infringement. In June 2017, was granted a court order banning the sale of all products in Mexico, as it was alleged that third-parties had been operating subscription television services for the devices that contain unlicensed content.
The content is streamed through unofficial apps that are added to the devices through hacking. Roku objected to the allegations, stating that these services were not certified by the company or part of its official Channels platform, whose terms of service require that they have rights to stream the content that they offer. Roku also stated that it actively cooperates with reports of channels that infringe copyrights. See also. What are the differences in DLNA device classes?.
