Όσοι πιστοί έχοντες και τεστάροντες.....
Hello
Please note that we published the new beta version of our f/w for Dune players.
It can be downloaded from http://hdi.co.il/firmware, as usual.
The most important changes are done for photo and audio playback.
According to our understanding now we have also the best photo viewer
(Slideshow viewer) over all our competitors.
In details, the new features of the f/w include the following:
- Photo viewer improvements:
- Added settings menu (Setup / Applications / Photo Viewer):
- Slideshow delay.
- Range: 1 second to 1 day.
- Slideshow effect. Supported effects:
- Random
- Smooth appearance
- Small squares
- From center to edges
- From center horizontally
- From center vertically
- From edges to center
- From edges horizontally
- From edges vertically
- From l! eft to right
- From right to left
- From top to bottom
- From bottom to top
- Moving halfs
- Moving quarters
- "0" remote button allows to change slideshow effect directly during
photo viewing.
- Changed the way PLAY / PAUSE / STOP buttons are handled:
- PAUSE: pauses the playback (i.e. toggles slide show off).
- PLAY: resumes/pauses the playback (i.e. toggles slide show
on/off).
- STOP: exits photo viewer (the same way as RETURN).
- Added repeat and random playback features (see below for info on
usage).
- Added possibility to enter player setup menu and change various
settings (photo viewer settings, video mode settings) directly from
photo viewer.
- Added possibility to show the information about the current photo.
- INFO remote button toggles showing of the INFO block.
- INFO block s! hows file name and picture resolution.
- When the INFO block is shown, slideshow is paused.
- Added random playback possibility to file player (see below for info
on usage).
- New remote buttons for controlling random/repeat functions in file player
and photo viewer:
- Press MENU to show the playlist browser, then:
- Press 7 (or REPEAT on silver remote, or ROTATE on black remote)
to toggle repeat.
- Press 8 (or SHUFFLE on silver remote) to toggle random.
- When not in the playlist browser:
- Press 7 (or REPEAT on silver remote) to toggle repeat.
- Press 8 (or SHUFFLE on silver remote) to toggle random.
- Added spindown/spinup of all attached USB/e-SATA HDDs on entering/exiting
standby.
- NOTE: Spinup of USB HDDs may not work, depending on a particular
USB HDD model. In this case, the spinup is performed not
immediately on exiting standby, but when the HDD is accessed.
- Added spindown of disks in all connected o! ptical drives (internal,
USB, e-SATA) on entering standby.
- Added support for MPEG2-TS files with ".m2t" extension (previously it was
neeeded to rename these files to e.g. ".m2ts").
- Added possibilities to workaround DVD-Video navigation problems:
- SELECT remote button allows to explicitly trigger between MENU and
PLAYBACK modes.
- In MENU mode: LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN buttons allow to control the DVD
menu.
- In PLAYBACK mode: LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN buttons allow to seek.
- Added full support for DTS audio files.
- Proper detection and handling of DTS audio stream (in particular, both
".wav" and ".dts" files are supported).
- No more dependency on volume = 0.
- Output to all audio outputs which support DTS output (previously only
S/PDIF worked, and noise could be present on other outputs).
- Added support for DTS CD-Audio disks.
- Added correct support for big custom icon! s in the right panel ("extended
list view" used for the parent folder, with big custom folder icons
assigned to the child folders via dune_folder.txt). Previously, the usage
of big icons could corrupt the screen content.
- Added dune_folder.txt support for custom background images.
- Supported image format: .AAI.
- Background image can be of any size.
- Background image can have transparency and alphachannel.
- Background image position and scale factor can be adjusted.
- Added dune_folder.txt support for reloading custom icons/images.
- Press ROTATE button or perform "Refresh" menu action to reload
icons/images loaded via dune_folder.txt.
- Added support for dune_folder.txt/media_url referencing DVD ISO files,
Bluray ISO files, DVD folders, Bluray folders.
- Changed the way DVD/Bluray ISO-files/folders handled when building a
playlist: now these items are skipped (unless there is only one such item
in the playlist).
- Torrent client settings made more f! lexible: the allowed range of
"max.number of peers" and "max.number of uploads" settings extended from
1..10 to 1..300.
- Added support for confirming CD-Audio/DVD-Video/Bluray disk playback w/o
using the remote, and using FIP keys in dialogs in general. Usage:
- STOP = cancel the dialog.
- PLAY = press the selected button.
- Bugfix: Bluray folders and ISO images with " ' " character in file path
could not be played.
- Bugfix: Bluray ISO images with ".ISO" extension written in upper case
could not be played.
- Bugfix: playback of unavailable IPTV channel could lead to playback crash
in some cases.
- Bugfix: detection of DTS audiostreams in TS files could work wrongly in
some cases.
- Bugfix: audio could disappear in specific AVI files in some cases (file
containing multiple CBR audiostreams and non-first audiostream used).
- Bugfix: specific DVD-Video disks (with specific DVD-Menu fea! tures) did
not play properly.
- Bugfix: specific FLAC audio files (with specific tags) could not be
played.
- Bugfix: specific MKV/VC1 files could not be played and led to player
hangup.
- Bugfix: specific audiostreams (marked as A_MS) in MKV files could not be
played.
- Bugfix: FTP access to NTFS-formatted disk did not work at all (now
read-only FTP access works as expected).
- Other minor fixes/improvements.
