Last night when I on my xtreamer pro, the hdd cannot be detected. only power led and network led is light. i thought its another case of hard disk kong.
luckily, when i off everything, and turn on it again, its functional well. lucky this time. just not sure what cause it.

go here

http://forum.xtreamer.net/topic/19845-260-...rmware-release/

btw the vobsub is dead again...darn..it was working earlier....need to download external sub if the mkv got built in vobsub

Firmware 2.6.0 already added Grooveshark under Xtreamering.



Just create a free account for Grooveshark before start using this online music jukebox. Very good for music lovers!!

Anyone here know what I can do to improve the file transfer speed of XTP?
Currently file transfer from PC to XTP via windows explorer is at 25-30KB/s and if using FTP (filezilla) it shows 1.5MB/s. That is painfully slow!

My setup is XTP connected to network using Wifi, router is Belkin Surf (modem router N)

Same file transfer speed to my HTC Desire shows faster speed.

go to the disclaimer and press 1..then it will download a new version of xtreamering..then u'll see that grroveshark and press 1 also to download if not mistaken...

yes, you are right.

i can enjoy grooveshark now. just search the songs you like and play it directly without the need to download it.

Thanks for the tips, soulquarianz, didn't see any xgrooveshark until read your post. Wow, the music jukebox simply great, just did search 'over the rainbow', wow, there are 'thousand' of this songs !!!

Too bad, my xtreamer only connected to my TV not hifi system

Xtreamer Ultra! The ultimate solution based on Intel CPU is now in final lab testings. Boxee, XBMC, Media Portal, FreeNAS here we come !

Xtreamer Ultra is another coming new product from Xtreamer....

hello all
just curious..can we transfer file from PC to Xtreamer Pro through network..wireless is better....if can how?
otherwise always need to plug-in usb for data transfer

it will be a big no no if u transfering file more then 1GB ! its darn slow...

go for USB better !

ok tq
the things that bother me is need to carry the xtreamer to PC for movie files transfer since PC & xtreamer are in separate room.sometimes i transfer to portable HDD first, then copy to xtreamer but this is double job already...
any other good ideas..how you do it...

Xtreamer network performance is really so so only, sometimes I called it suck! it even cannot stream high bit rate bluray movies. the throughput last time I tested for FTP is around 30Mbps. so if you want to use network transfer for full hd movie, it takes few hours for a movie.

The solution if you don't want to use portable HDD is setting up a Network File Server. I used OpenSolaris ZFS file system as NFS server, and its performance is much better than xtreamer. once I uploaded full HD movies to my NFS server, my xtreamer and PC can watch movies streaming from my NFS, though sometimes xtreamer still unable to watch high bit rate bluray movies due to it poor network performance.

hi guys

I'm a newbie on homemedia systems.. Today i just checked out a shop with both Xtreamer and HDX-Bone. But unfortunately when the salesman tried to plug it in, both didn't work.

Both didn't have internal HDD then, and both were right out of the box.
Xtreamer - showed only the logo then TV complained no signal
HDX-Bone, didn't even show anything, tv just complained no signal.

The sales guy tried diff TVs but all showing the same thing. Is there some sort of installation / setup process for Xtreamer?

Also, comparing Xtreamer vs HDX-Bone, which one is better?
all my movie files are on my HD (MKV or WMV or AVI). I have no blueray disk, probably won't have for a long time.

Biggest MKV file is avatar at 1080p which is about 22gb i think..
