DUNE BD PRIME - opinie do testu, komentarze na temat playera HDi

[Abcd 0]

Rozszerzenia w Diunie są na PCI.

Niestety nie ma możliwości rozbudowy "na własną rękę" bez utraty gwarancji.

Takie informację przekazało HDI.

Szkoda, bo początkowo podawali informacje, że będą sprzedawać kity do rozszerzeń, może jeszcze do tego wrócą.

...jednak HDI zdecydowało się na oddzielną sprzedaż rozszerzeń Wi-Fi i ESATA.

Stabilny F/W ma być w połowie maja - informacja od Konstantina z HDI.

W nowej wersji BD Prime ma być 2GB pamięci flash do BD Live.

Mają teraz duże opóźnienia - nie wyrabiają z produkcją.

Dla nielicznych, którzy są posiadaczami playerów Dune.

Sposób na zdjęcie blokady regionalnej, jeżeli jeszcze nie wiedzą.

Należy ściągnąć ten plik:

http://www.mpcclub.com/modules/Downloads/t...gion_switch.dsf

Po uruchomieniu w przeglądarce odtwarzacza wciskamy 4x MUTE potem 1 lub 2 lub 3 odpowiednio dla regionów A,B lub C.

Analogicznie w przypadku DVD 3 x DVD a pózniej 1, 2, 3 dla regionów 1,2 i 3.

Jest nowy F/W od HDI do Dune HD Ultra/ HD Mini / HD Base / HD Center / BD Prime.

Oznaczenie Version "090619_1649_beta"

http://hdi.co.il/firmware/bdprime/

Changes since 090424_0218_beta:

NOTE: This is a RELEASE CANDIDATE: a stable/recommended firmware version

will be released based on this beta version if no serious problems /

regressions found. New big features (new Sigma SDK, autoframerate etc) will

come into further beta versions.

- Bugfix: player could become unusable (refuse to play anything till

reboot, generate errors on playback attempt) in specific cases.

- Bugfix: when reading file content from a NFS share, bad data was read in

the end of the file in some cases.

- Bugfix: torrent client refused to work with certain torrent trackers,

such as tracker.hdclub.com.ua.

- Bugfix: disconnecting a main storage (e.g. attached USB HDD) from the

player could not work correctly if the main storage was in use by the

player (e.g. due to SMB/FTP-connection from a PC). Now all usages of

disconnected storages are automatically terminated by the player when the

player detects storage disconnection (e.g. on exit to the main menu).

- Bugfix: text rendering in OSD could work with not the best possible

quality (incorrect antialiasing) in some cases. Now the best possible

antialiasing quality is ensured in all cases.

- Bugfix: first EAC3 audiotrack in TS files could not be detected in

certain cases.

- Bugfix: playback of very high bitrate PCM WAV audiofiles could produce

garbage sound or no sound.

- Bugfix: playback of very high bitrate external FLAC audiotracks could

cause A/V desync on seek.

- Bugfix: when playing specific DTS WAV audiofiles and DTS CD tracks,

severe stuttering could begin at some point, or garbage audio output or

playback hangup could take place in the end of playback.

- Bugfix: when playing specific PCM WAV and FLAC audiofiles through S/PDIF

and analog audio outputs, severe stuttering could begin at some point.

- Bugfix: player could freeze after finishing firmware upgrade in certain

cases.

...a propo firmware, właśnie jest nowy na stronie HDI

http://dune-hd.com/firmware/hdcenter/

Version "090731_1629_beta"

Changes since 090626_1828:

- Integrated a new version of Sigma Blu-ray SDK:

- This solves all currently known compatibility problems with new

Blu-ray discs.

- Added autoframerate feature (an initial version):

- A new setting added: "Setup / Video / Auto framerate" with possible

values "Disabled" (default), "50/60Hz" and "24/50/60Hz".

- Autoresolution is not yet supported, only autoframerate is supported.

- Supported only for file playback; no yet support for DVD playback and

Blu-ray playback.

- Supported only for HDMI 720p/1080i/1080p video modes.

- Source framerate detection is implemented for most of the supported

container formats and videocodecs (although it is not guaranteed to

work correctly with each particular file).

- 23.976 vs 24.0, 59.94 vs 60.0 are distinguished and handled correctly.

- When playing a playlist of files with different framerates, video

output is reconfigured before playback of each file in the playlist.

- The currently used video mode and video output framerate are reported

during playback in INFO OSD.

- Completely rewritten file browser engine:

- All existing user-visible functionality of the file browser is

preserved, but the internally used engine is almost completely

reworked to make it much more flexible and powerful. This allows allow

to introduce various additional functionality (such as browsing lists

of SMB/NFS shares, browsing UPnP resources, browsing content of

playlist files, browsing content of Audio CD discs, browsing content

of RAR and other archives, etc). The new egnine allows to implement

all additional functionality in a way consistent with already existing

functionality, reusing all advanced features and possibilities of the

file browser, such as:

- Convenient and fast navigation through the hierarchy of

folders/objects.

- Showing the path to the current folder/object in the title bar and

allowing to quickly navigate to any element of this path.

- Convenient and fast scrolling through large lists of items.

- Ability to customize the look of lists (e.g. switch between list

view and icon view, assign custom visualization using

dune_folder.txt where appropriate, etc).

- Ability to use the general cut/copy/paste (and delete/rename)

functions where appropriate.

- Ability to use the general possibility to mark multiple items and

play the marked items or perform some other operation on the marked

items.

- Ability to use the general possibility to generate a playlist from

the marked items (including recursive scanning of folders with

subfolders), where appropriate.

- Added several new features based on the new engine:

- Browser of content of M3U/PLS playlist files.

- Press "0" on a M3U/PLS file to open the file directly in the

file browser. Then you can e.g. mark some items of the playlist,

and launch playback of the marked items.

- Browser of SMB workgroups/server/shares (see details below).

- Browser of UPnP servers (see details below).

- Added Network Browser feature with support for SMB and UPnP servers:

- There is a new "Network Browser" item on the main screen, allowing to

conveniently browse media resources available in the local network

(w/o knowing their IP addresses and other technical parameters).

- The new item can be disabled via "Setup / Applications / Network

Browser / Show in main screen" setting.

- Currently, the network browser supports SMB and UPnP servers.

- SMB browser features:

- Choose "Network Browser / SMB" to see all accessible SMB workgroups,

SMB servers, and SMB shares.

- After you open an SMB share, you can work with its content just like

as with the content of manually registered SMB network folder (play

files, copy/delete/rename files, etc).

- By default, guest access to a SMB share is performed; if guest access

fails, you can enter user name and password to be used. Besides, user

name and password if desired can also be entered/modified via "Connect

as user" context menu action.

- Entered user names/passwords are persistently remembered in flash

memory, so you do not need to renter them each time when you reenter

the SMB share (even after player power off).

- Several SMB shares can be accessed simultanously; in particular, if

you want, you can copy/move files from one SMB share to another.

- Also added a new possibility for manually configurable network

folders: now, not only IP address or DNS name of the SMB server can be

specified, but also WINS (Windows) name of the SMB server.

- UPnP browser features:

- Choose "Network Browser / UPnP" to see all accessible UPnP servers.

- After you open a UPnP server, you can browse all media content

published by this server and play it.

- The provided funcionality is similar to the functionality available

when working with SMB/NFS shares. You can select any files and play

them, play the entire folders (with automatic playlist generation from

the folder and all its subfolders), mark multiple files/folders and

play them, etc.

- The currently implemention is has the following limitations (planned

to be addressed in future firmware versions):

- Viewing photo files from UPnP servers is not supported. You can

only play video and music files.

- Playback of DVD and Blu-ray folders and ISO images from UPnP

servers is not suppoorted. You can only play regular files (e.g.

TS, MKV, etc).

- The use of external subtitles and audiotracks is not supported.

You can only use internal subtitles and audiotracks.

- Playback of very high bitrate content is supported (may depend on a

particular UPnP server and network conditions). UPnP uses HTTP for

content playback, and HTTP playback has been optimized signficantly to

allow playback of very high bitrate content, such as TS and MKV files

with 40-50+ Mbit/s bitrate (see below for more details). In some

cases, when a file server can not ensure stutter-free playback via SMB

and NFS protocols (e.g. when a NAS with a slow CPU is used), UPnP can

be tried as a potentially more performant alternative.

- National characters in file names are supported (may depend on a

particular UPnP server).

- Note: testing with different UPnP servers have been performed, but

there are no guarantees that any UPnP server will work fully correctly

or work at all. The list of at least partially tested UPnP servers

includes:

- TwonkyMedia Manager/Server (http://www.twonkymedia.com/)

- TVersity (http://tversity.com/)

- Windows Media Player 11 on Windows XP

- Windows Media Player 11 on Windows Vista

- PS3 Media Server (http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/)

- PlayOn (http://www.themediamall.com/playon)

- uShare (http://ushare.geexbox.org/) on Linux

- FUPPES (http://fuppes.ulrich-voelkel.de/)

- Improved HTTP client:

- Significantly optimized HTTP playback performance. With fast enough

HTTP servers, all containers (MKV, TS, AVI. WMV, MP4/MOV) now support

smooth playback of very high bitrate content (up to 40-50 Mbit/s, even

when using the standard 100Mbit Ethernet network connection).

- Improved HTTP servers compatibility; some bugs fixed.

- Note: HTTP playback can be performed in two ways:

- Play some content from UPnP server (UPnP internally uses HTTP for

content playback).

- Put direct HTTP URLs pointing to some media content into playlist

files (M3U/PLS) or into dune_folder.txt (using "media_url").

- More convenient handling of audiotracks and subtitles:

- Added a new OSD GUI for audiotracks/subtitles selection during file

playback and DVD playback.

- Now, when pressing SUBTITLE or AUDIO button, OSD listing all

available audiotracks/subtitles is shown. You can quickly and

conveniently choose any desired audiotrack/subtitle (using UP and

DOWN buttons), w/o the need to toggle through all available

audiotracks/subtitles one-by-one. This is especially convenient

when a fnle has a large number of audiotracks/subtitles.

- Improved handling of external audiotracks.

- Now, when external audiotracks are present, the internal

audiotracks still remain available for choosing. All available

audiotracks, both internal and external, are now listed in the OSD

menu, and you can easily switch between all available internal and

external audiotracks; no more need to delete/rename files with

external audiotracks to enable the use of internal subtitles.

- Subtitles are not enabled by default for file playback any more.

- Now, as was requested by many users, if a file has internal or

external subtitles, they are not enabled by default. You can easily

enable them by pressing SUBTITLE button.

- Additional adjustments for text subtitles during file playback:

- Besides of adjusting vertical position of text subtitles, it is now

also possible to adjust the following parameters:

- Subtitles font color.

- Subtitles font size (choose between normal or smaller font).

- Subtitles delay (synchronization correction).

- All text subtitles adjustments are now available via a special "Setup"

item in the subtitles menu. You can also quickly show the subtitles

setup menu by pressing SUBTITLE, then SETUP. In the subtitles

adjustment menu, you can use the following RC buttons:

- UP / DOWN: Move subtitles up/down.

- LEFT / RIGHT: Change subtitles synchronization correction.

- P+ / P-: Increase/descrease subtitles font size.

- 1..6: Choose subtitles font color.

- Note: these new possibilities are provided only for text subtitles,

and only for file playback.

- File playback improvements:

- Added support for TrueHD audiotracks in MKV files.

- Added support for 120FPS AVI files.

- Improved handling of VobSub subtitles in MP4 files.

- Improved audio output through HDMI. Now, when playing stereo audio

files (or video files with stereo audiotracks), and PCM output through

HDMI is used, the player reports the proper number of PCM channels to

HDMI receiver (instead of always sending multichannel PCM). This

allows HDMI receiver to better handle stereo sound.

- Faster switching between audiotracks in WMV files.

- Bugfix: PCM audiotrack in MKV could start stuttering in specific rare

cases.

- Bugfix: Switching to FLAC audiostram in MKV could lead to no audio in

specific rare cases.

- Bugfix: Seek in MKV files could lead to no audio in specific rare

cases.

- Bugfix: WMAPro audio could be handled wrongly in some cases.

- Bugfix: External EAC3 audiotracks could be handled wrognly in some

cases when HDMI bitstreaming was performed.

- Bluray playback improvements:

- "P+" RC button allows to show/hide secondary video (PIP), when

supported by a Blu-ray disk (while "SELECT" RC button allows to do the

same for secondary audio).

- File browser improvements:

- Improved speed of opening folders with huge number of subfolders;

"dune_folder.txt" files for subfolders are checked/loaded only when

needed.

- Improved speed of launching playback and returning to file browser for

folders with huge number of files/subfolders.

- Added progress indication (right bottom corner of the screen) on

lengthy operations (such as opening a folder with huge number of

files).

- Playlist generation improvements:

- Support for very big generated playlists (10000+ items should be OK

now).

- Better detection of cyclic references between multiple playlist

files.

- Better reporting names of playlist items in case of errors.

- Bugfix: long path to the current folder (wrapped to several lines in

the title bar) could lead to wrong picture on the screen when "icon

view" mode was used.

- Added possibilities to access all locally attached drives from network:

- Previously, only a single locally attached drive (such as internal HDD

or USB HDD) could be accessed from network via SMB and FTP protocols.

- Now, all locally attached drives are accessible (including all

USB-attached drives, and also optical discs in all attached optical

drives).

- For each attached drive, there is a dedicated SMB share with a certain

name. The fixed "internal_hard_disk" SMB share does not exist any

more.

- When connecting via FTP, each attached drive is represented as a

top-level FTP-folder with a certain name.

- SMB shares and FTP folders corresponding to attached drives have the

following names:

- If the drive has volume label: {volume label}_{uuid}.

- If the drive does not have volume label: {default name}_{uuid},

where default name is something like "hard_disk", "usb_storage",

"usb_storage_2", etc.

- Volume label and UUID of each drive can be seen in "Information"

dialog for the drive (e.g. press "INFO" RC button on the drive item

in file browser).

- The user can manually assign any name to any drive by using

"storage_name = ..." syntax in "dune_folder.txt" file in the root

folder of the drive.

- Added new "dune_folder.txt" features:

- "media_url" can now contain not just relative paths, but also absolute

paths point to files on the same drive or other locally attached

drives (helpful for working with media collections stored on several

drives). Syntax:

- "media_url = /path/file". Refers to the file with absolute path

/path/file on the same drive.

- "media_url = storage_name://name/path/file". Refers to the file

with absolute path "/path/file" on the drive with the given storage

name; here, storage name is the same as used for FTP/SMB access

from network (automatically generated default name such as

"usb_storage_UUID", or explicitly assigned custom name -- see

below).

- "media_url = storage_label://label/path/file". Refers to the file

with absolute path "/path/file" on the drive with given volume

label. (Volume label can seen in Information dialog for the drive.)

- "media_url = storage_uuid://uuid/path/file". Refers to the file

with absolute path /path/file on the drive with with given UUID.

(UUID can seen in Information dialog for the drive.)

- Note: referencing files on other network drives is not yet

supported.

- "dune_folder.txt" in the root folder of a drive can be used to assign

a custom name/caption to the drive. Syntax:

- "storage_name = ...". Assigns a custom storage name to the drive.

This name is used for FTP and SMB access from network and for

referencing the files on the drive using "media_url". Unless

"storage_caption" is also explicitly set (see below), the custom

storage name is also used as the storage caption shown in the file

browser.

- "storage_caption = ...". Assigns a custom storage caption to the

drive, to show in file browser.

Mam pytanie, czy w miejsce napędu można zainstalować kieszeń na HDD ?.

No masz - toć to profanacja ... HDD podłączasz eSATA , stacją dokującą HDD.

Nie chcesz napędu, to kupujesz wersję BASE !

[andsie1 27]

Dzięki, szkoda.

AS

[BoDeX 121]

Dzięki, szkoda.

Ale czego szkoda ?

BASE ma zamiast napędu, kieszeń HDD z przodu - więc chyba idealnie, można podmieniać z Blu-ray

PRIME ma w tym miejscu napęd BD , a dyski można podpinać poprzez USB/eSATA

Do wyboru, do koloru - bebechy są takie same.
