I am the latest owner of Xtreamer...... will try it out tomorrow when free. Bye Bye WDTV!

I have used this Xtreamer for 2 days. So far I noticed it is much user friendly than my old WDTV. More functionality, more than I can imagine.

I have tried most of the function and so far my satisfactory level is 95/100. Actually nothing much to complain about with its decent price.

Finally my RMVB720p files can be played flawlessly. And I also tried out copy files from my PC to Xtreamer too, not too fast though as I do not have internal SATA drive installed, and transfer through Wifi G (slower speed as it can support Wifi N).

Today I managed to try out Dynamic DNS on this Xtreamer and it works. I can browse my files from other PC out from my house. There are few more advanced features available but have not tried it out.

All the files that has problem on WDTV earlier can be played on my new Xtreamer.

totally agree with you. Most of them is Realtek 1073 chipset based.

Do you guys noticed Xtreamer.net has uploaded the latest HD GUI on its website? It is the same as mine under Firmware 2.0B.

Please have sneak preview there.

I extracted this fast review from forumer mavvy (xtreamer.net) about Firmware 2.0B for Xtreamer.

It sounds like this:

Hey guys, I can't publish all the internal discussion on the new firmware 2.0 beta so I hope I won't get spanked by giving some little info on the progress

New HD GUI looks much cleaner, it has good quality. One thing which has to be tuned are font and maybe icon sizes. Youtube service looks better now. If you experience strange sizes in internet services like Youtube, Weather etc. with the current 1.0.3.x firmware, it could be due to the optimization for the higher resolution. Also note that higher resolution images for the new GUI need more time to load, so the final firmware could have a slightly longer bootup time. But I have the impression that navigating through the new GUI in long file lists is even faster than it was with the old GUI.

The mobile remote control application is indeed nice. There is a hot discussion going on in this thread: http://forum.xtreamer.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4524

As it was already mentioned there: don't take it as an iPhone-dedicated-tool... it's a web application optimized for mobile devices with smaller display resolutions. The iPhone optimized version just happens to be the first supported. More resolutions will come soon for android or Windows Mobile devices or - I'm sure - can easily be added by us in short time.

Files having Dolby TrueHD or dts-hd audio tracks are not anymore silent. Passthrough and downmixing is supported for dts-hd and downmixing for TrueHD. Untouched passthrough... we'll have to see.

24p cinema mode is now already working properly in this early stage. Music player looks nicer now and even FLAC files with tags are supported. 0 Byte bug in UPnP environment is gone and playback of a song is possible but UPnP stability will need optimization. Fan noise also has been reported to be better

All together the 2.x branch will be a good step forward. Again, the beta is still in a very early stage, so there is a lot more work to do to fix major and minor bugs but I am sure you will eventually love the update.

Have you tried out the 2.0B version on your Xtreamer? Though still buggy now. BD ISO is playable.

I managed to get it from my supplier.

However, i feel that it still have some minor bugs to fix. Overall, it is much much better.

Wow... U are so eager to test already..... Be patient bro.

U need some sceenshot on BD iso? I have not take the photo though.

Yes. It can play BDMV. To play it, you have to choose the biggest .m2ts file to play the whole movie.

So far I did not manage to get Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD passthru to AVR, only downmix and able to produce sound.

But according to forumer mavvy at xtreamer.net, he mention DTS-HD are able to passthru. MAybe it may due to my setting issue coz I have limited time to test it out at htkaki's AV set at his home.

Anyhow, picture quality is perfect according to htkaki, no lagging or jerk while playing BD ISO and BDMV files. There are still some minor bug issues in this Beta firmware. I believe HD Audio passthru is 'kacang' issue for Xtreamer team.

This Beta release still have not seen this function. It will be perfect with this function enabled.

I just flash back to firmware 1.0.3.1

I tried to play some files. For BDMV files (.m2ts) it can play the files smoothly but one thing, it do not support subtitle selection hence no subtitle shown.

For 2.0B, it can select the subtitles, with subtitles shown.

Sure it will passthru sooner or later. They wanna surprise buyers step by step only. This is what I think only.

what is the link for?? asking us to dl something.

Xtreamer enthusiast/ interested buyers,

Stock has landed to Malaysia ground. Available for COD sales. If interested to buy, kindly pm me.

Any Xtreamer users here have tried out TVersity? How was it?

I will try it out this service when I'm free.

Sure can post but buyer bears the cost.

I have pm the details to you.

Thanks bro for the testing help.

Really amazed by the AV set you are enjoying now. Must earn harder to build those set for my future HT.
