Here's a YouTube video on how to install XSC into Xtreamer.

It will make Xtreamer a silent player.

Is it available locally? If so, how much?

At the moment, I cannot hear the fan noise from my Xtreamer (doesn't bother me at all) but will consider this to cool down the Xtreamer which can be quite hot after playing for a while.  rolleyes.gif

Hope it will available here soon.....

Figuring how to bring it in later....

I need to modify mine too. Damn sexy after see the you tube video.... brows.gif

Frankly, from my point of view, they should look for other miniature fan suppliers out there and fix the damn fan noise rather than charge the customers to buy that heatsink.

In my opinion, heat sink is a better solution for cooling down the unit if we are going to continuosly watching movies.

forced convection is more effective than natural convection..

If open the fan mode + additional heatsink, wouldn't it better??

hmmmm i hope i am not lucky enough to get a fault unit......
is that neccessary to slot in a 2.5" sata hdisk to get into the menu system?
what if without a hdisk?

i bought a 320gb 2.5" WD sata hdisk. b4 i slot in the hdisk. i switch it on and the light on xtreamer is Red and then blinking orange. hdmi output to my samsung 32" serious6.  but its black screen and no signal detect. until i plug in usb to my pc.

here go the Xtreamer default scren . media player screamer..
and its just like that. nothing more. remote not working.

after i slot in the hdisk.  its same. the LCD hang on the big red X and nothing i can do.

anyone can help me with this?
*
Did you try to off it and on again? Press the On Button. The Big X will come out and wait for it to show the Menu, then try to upgrade to firmware.

Remember to flash to Firmware1.0.3.1


Added on October 30, 2009, 12:42 amOverheard some conversation that Firmware2.0 will be release next Friday 6 Nov 09. And also next Monday will release another beta Firmware.

Hope this will make this Xtreamer more enjoyable player.


Added on October 30, 2009, 12:49 amGlad to hear that dkliew has finally managed to get into the Menu Folder. MAybe due to connection problem. icon_rolleyes.gif

So busy still haven't got time to try out my Xtreamer. Will do it this weekend. Some questions:

1. the 2.5" HDD can format within Xtreamer? Or I format it in my PC first before putting inside Xtreamer?

2. can boot up Xtreamer just to test if its working without a 2.5" HDD inside?
*
It has a format HDD function inside although I did not try it out.

You can boot without any drive attached. Remember to update the firmware to 1.0.3.1

I've been using xtreamer for the past few days. I'm having a problem with some HD movies (mkv format). I can play the movie but the problem is it stops half way. It happen to me with 3 movies already. When I try watching it through PC, no problem with the file. It plays smoothly. Any suggestions anyone?

Display settings: HDMI, 1080P

Sound no problem. It's not the display issue. It's displaying great. Just that for some movies, it stops half way. When I tried to re-play, the movie starts back from the beginning. I fast forward back near to where it stops, and play. When reach the same part, it stops again. Now, it already happen to 3 movies already. File not corrupted because I can play in PC very good and smooth. Confuse now??  unsure.gif

Is AC Ryan better anyone?  hmm.gif

Consider trying to change to 720p setting..... same issue happen or not? Also try to recopy the file again n see.

Wah, I didn't know people expected so much from my reviews smile.gif

Actually I wasn't planning to post any review on the Xtreamer since I'm not so familiar with media players (can't give any comparisons or experienced views) and besides this Xtreamer is more for my kids (put all their cartoons and kids shows into HDD rather than all the VCDs / DVDs lying around now).
*
I also did this partly for my kids VCD and DVD. But mostly also for myself to watch HD stuff.

Well, I might want to use the Xtreamer once in a while also and experiment with mkv, etc... so I thought to get something better. Network connectivity was also something I wanted.

It'll be some time before uncle ho reaches RM10. Yeah, bd.iso also needs hdd, etc. Nothing is free... but some things are cheaper than others I guess. One thing I like about bd.iso is the convenience of many titles in one HDD (no need to eject/load disc) and much faster loading.
*
Keep your finger crossed to play BD ISO. Now still not fully release the power of HD Audio. BD ISO will be supported in Firmware 2.0 which is due to release next Friday.

I just try out 2.0b4 firmware (beta v2). Network speed issue had been solved. I try both high bitrate mkv and m2ts file (35Gb blu-ray movie) and it works without any stuttering. As currently it's not connected to my amp, I can't test the HD audio passthrough but TrueHD can be downmix to 2 channel output directly to tv.
*
Glad to hear this Xtreamer is solving its issue fast enough. Just read out the Release Notes for 2.0Beta4 last night. Have not tried it out though.

aiyah.  why beta when the official one may release in 1 week time.  as u know, beta still got bugs one.

from the Xtreamer forum, look like we may not get the HD audio passthru in FW2.0, knn.  something got to do with licensing issue.

Today I just saw for the first time, Dolby True HD shown on the movie info while playing it.

so, 2.0.b4 support TrueHD passthrough? Must take the unit to my theater room to try out.

Just check out your screenshot. I thought you say TrueHD light on the receiver. Anyway, the movie info is nothing as it show the format, not that it'll do passthrough.
*
Never mention it Dolby TrueHD shows on receiver as my set only an old HTiB. cry.gif

Earlier, it has never shown before on Xtreamer on file info.
