hdwarexpert, have a question regarding the Xtreamer to ask u
The Xtreamer GUI does not have the function to eject/disconnect USB device (thumb drive, external HDD), right? I couldn't find it in the menu nor remote control.

How about f/w 2.0? is this function enabled?

Guys, thanks for confirming on the unavailability of Eject function on Xtreamer

Yeah, if the media player itself will cause damage on the USB drive without using the Eject function
it's a lousy player
I don't like the eject function either coz it's very troublesome
As my previous wdtv has this function
I just wanna confirm only coz I couldn't find that function in Xtreamer
and also I'm used to eject USB drive in PC

Updated to f/w 2.0 finally
some ppl said in X-treamer forum that it took them 15 minutes to update
for me, it took me less than 5 minutes to update

the UI now looks sharper coz it's HD
but still the same old boring look
not like wdtv live which looks much nicer

the navigation still a bit lacking
not so responsive
the rest are just like the same
the info of IP address of UPnP is now added onto the main menu
and e-trayz feature is also added

I didn't try out on the internet radio coz I'm not hooking it to the net

As for the HD audio which I eagerly wanted to try
my HDD with the BDMV was borrowed by my friend yesterday, what a coincidence
gonna get it back today to try out

firmware 2.0 confirmed cannot play TrueHD and DTS-HDMA
It can recognize TrueHD, but passthrough as stereo nia
whereas it can't even recognize DTS-HDMA
only able to recognize DTS core and passthrough as DTS
wdtv live even much better than this
what a big let down for

they promised and promised and promised and cannot give what's expected
sure boh song lar

that's the reason I feel so boh song
promised to release 'soon' but end up only downmixing
they said the approval from DTS lab for them to passthrough DTS-HDMA might be also to passthrough as downmixing only
like TrueHD, not passthrough the HD audio

Could it be he ordered the 'eTRAYz + Xtreamer Complete Set' and split out the 2 components?
However, the Combo Set will only ship next month

Unless he said the stock will be ready next month

Did u play the whole movie?

Just now used it to watch HP5
it stuttered at few scenes of the movie
and the audio is synced initially, but slowly went out of sync after few minutes
the longer it played the worst it was out of sync
pressed stop and resumed playback
the same cycle happened again
I forgot how many times I'd pressed stop and resumed playback throughout the whole movie

I have, but am yet to try it out
btw, still no news on the delivery of etrayz

WTF, still no HD audios passthrough
not even a single one!
POHD at least has DTS-HDMA passthrough
to me it's another crappy firmware

and also no news on the shipping of the eTrayz that I ordered
to make thing worse
saw that those ppl with order no: #15xxx oredi had their eTrayz shipped
mine #12xxx is still 'Awaiting Shipment'
Is X-Treamer practising some kind of country discrimination?

Anyway, the link for ver 2.1

On paper it seems like it can passthrough if u chose not to decode internally
nvr really test it

as for eTrayz
why don't they just follow the order number? first come first serve basis
has stocks earlier for EU than Asia is already a form of discrimination

Is it? I also don't have one to verify
If that's the case, POHD and X-treamer are really abang-adik

Me also buying for myself as X-mas gift mah
In fact Asian also has a lot of ppl celebrating X-mas mah

yeah, same 'chip' way to feature their HD audios passthrough

hdwarexpert, I'm experiencing lagging on 720p rmvb files after updating to f/w 2.1
previously it played smoothly without lagging on f/w 2.0.1
do u have the same problem? or anyone experiencing this?

using f/w 2.1 or 2.1.1?

Got my eTrayz today
but will not have time to test as these few days am not free

still don't have time to try out yet

looks exactly like e-Trayz
Confirm can passthrough HD-audios?
Or same like X-Treamer, NATO
