MAG boxes - search facility

Question

Hi. Never heard of MAG boxes until I started researching IPTV. Presumably all such boxes can play videos stored on an attached HDD? If so, is it possible to 'file search' without having to 'scrape' i.e. can I do a simple search of the filenames of the videos stored on the HDD?

Also, I take it the playback picture quality is on a par with the like of Shield/Minix etc?

Thank you.

Mag boxes are on a limited lifespan for use with IPTV.  the company that makes them are blocking all boxes being used for IPTV.

They are not good at scraping and accessing attached media.  Very basic media player.  They are made for one reason and that is streaming iptv using the stalker system.
