Different with WDTV:

This baby support network, plus it downmix DTS to stereo & DTS pass through HDMI cable.

It's feature almost same as Egreat EG-M34A.

Seems like the first review for Xtreamer is out. Those considering it for BDMV playback better hold back.

http://www.mpcclub.com/modules/Reviews/rev...ew_xtreamer.pdf

"We start off with problems using Blu-Ray backups. Off course, full blu-ray is not supported however we should have the ability to play the main movie in M2TS format.
We have been struggling quite a few times to get the movie started. What happened was selecting the m2ts starts loading however then stops leaving the loading splash animation on screen, locked up.
We have to try and start the M2TS file multiple times before it actually manages to load the movie."

And no mention if it can bitstream HD audio...

Well, every player has their pros & cons. If only they can come up with a player that satisfies everybody at a reasonble price, they will really have a winner there! Maybe the new Popcorn Hour can do that? I find the Xtreamer quite interesting because it can play 1080p MKV, 720p RMVB and it's open source so if they manage to survived in this competitive market they will be the player to watch for.

Yes, but I think they have issue with DTS-Hd at this moment due to licensing but for poor fellow like me without high end amp, no issue ler! Will order a unit later to play with!

sorry need to ask a bit more :when you say pass through - it means you use an AVamp to decode and output the sound right - then will we still get HD audio if the amp is HDaudio capable?
but if we just connect the player directly to TV - even if the player is capable of decoding HD audio, the TV speaker can output such HD effect? or, should we say - if the TV can output sound - it is because the player could "downmix"? thanks
*
For DTS-HD the HDMI must be HDMI 1.3 standard & connected to an AV amp so if you connect the player direct to TV HDMI, you'll only have stereo downmix, no HD effect or whatsoever!

Thanks a lot Adam for clearing that - if that's the case, what yangxi said "can't play DTSHD sound" is not entirely correct and misleading. 

This statement is so confusing that it almost misled me into thinking that I have made a wrong decision to purchase Xtreamer. 

What I have is a DTSHD enabled amp, even if Xtreamer cannot decode HD audio , as long as it can do a pass-through, my amp will take over the decoding work.  Also, demanding HDaudio output is a strange requirement for those who directly connect this player to their TV because even if Xtreamer does decode HD audio I don't think TVs can produce HD sound effect, however, it is then important that Xtreamer must be able to downmix DTS so that TVs can produce sound.

Thanks again Adam for giving us a complete picture of who should be more concerned about whether Xtreamer can do a pass-through (for those with AV amps) and downmix (for those who connect the player directly with TV) , appreciated it!  thumbup.gif

You are welcome, DTS-HD will need to connect the HDMI to AV AMP & then only connect the HDMI from AV AMP to TV. As for the xtreamer, you better read this first http://forum.xtreamer.net/viewtopic.php?f=...6e556e&start=10
Seems they really have problem with DTS-HD.

in this industry when you dont' get the stocks like the IC.. it could be delayed another 4-8weeks.. unless you pay double just to buy it in open market...and then airfreight the finished goods to europe.. so it's pretty hard to estimate..  so as I said earlier, give it 1-2months it should pull through..

Quite funny...... after 24hours has passed but the shipping information shown on DHL website still remain empty.

Just called DHL customer service and their officer will verify with Hong Kong office tomorrow.

Wondering this will be another case of DHL guys knock the door and yet not updated the tracking status in the system.  huh.gif

Yes, DHL online tracking gone cuckoo recently. Status shown item still at warehouse but DHL guy could be right in front of your door step! Try checking from dhl malaysia instead of the US one if you can find the tracking link.

If Xtreamer can then the rest of the realtek based players also can coz this is a realtek issue! But it's a matter of when they put out their individual updated firmware.

Hi Guys,

Have anybody tried sharing their BD ROM on the network and playing it through xtreamer? Does it work?
*
Highest possible I try is only 1080p MKV. BDISO & MT22 also have problem streaming on network. Works but lots of stuttering. Have not try Gigalan so maybe it'll help but the player is still 10/100.

I found this information useful from forum.xtreamer.net regarding wireless connection 128bit WEP.

Previously i have this problem on connecting via 128bit WEP and the solution is as below.
Extract from forum.xtreamer.net:
I am posting this to help anyone else who has a wireless router that uses a 128 Bit WEP key.

Xtreamer DOES support 128 bit WEP (- although it can be confusing for new users when the input screen only says "64 bit WEP Hex")

In order to use a 128 bit WEP router you follow the normal Wireless installation instructions ... and input your 128 bit WEP key into the 64 bit WEP Hex box

VERY IMPORTANT: You MUST input your WEP key in HEX - and NOT in ASCII.
In ascii it will be a 13 digit/letter code, but in HEX it will be a 26 digit/letter code ... with NO spaces.
You can get the HEX code from your router or by using a HEX converter like this one : http://ei4web.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~kino ... toHEX.html

EVEN MORE IMPORTANT: Please attach a USB extention cable to the Xtreamer wireless antenae and move the antenae at least one metre away from the Xtreamer.
(You may not need to add the USB extention cable ... but if you do, you will definately connect to the router. If you don't ... you may not)

Having spent all day searching the forum for help on getting my Xtreamer to connect to my 128 bit WEP key router ... I thought it would be a good idea to post this as a seperate topic. It may even be a good idea to sticky it (as it seems almost impossible to find things with the search function)

I hope this will help someone else in the future.
*
Even at 128bit, WEP is not secure & secondly to perform at full speed for wireless N, the security setting must be using WPA or better! Of coz rest of the wireless device must all be N. If you mix B/G/N then you'll only get the lowest!
