    Does this exist?

    Tiny Video/Audio media player.

    USB one end, HDMI the other, plays all popular audio and video formats (E.g. MP3, MP4). SD slot to plug in cheap memory to store the files. Battery operated would be a big bonus. Remote control for play back.

    Plug into PC and copy files to memory card, then unplug and plug into HDMI of TV. Select video or audio using remote and watch.

    Cheap.

    I suspect the answer will involve a raspberry Pi somewhere in the mix.

        Yes, it does exist, or at least there's a damned close match.

        Sumvision Cyclone Micro - Digital AV player

        It takes a usb cable and has an SD card slot, it outputs to HDMI. You might want to check that it supports all the formats you want though.

        Oh, it's tiny and the remote is not brilliant, but sod it, you can buy them for £14, so you can't expect too much.

            Forget it. There are some on the market but USB is too limited, it will never work well. Its like trying to connect am eight lane motorway with a single track country lane.

                  No SD slot but it'll take a USB stick, and it's not battery powered.
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
