Keng! So fast deflowered liao.

I heard it works with internal sub but not external sub. WDTV works for both

Taken from SG Hardware Zone forums, posted by ACeRyan who is an employee of A.C.Ryan:

The development for Bluray support is already in stages, our Playon!HD can already support .M2TS container format right out of the box, and now it supports PGS subtitles with the latest firmware. The next big thing to come would be the support for Bluray ISO or a direct 1-1 ripped of your Bluray disc. These development needs time to program and diagnose. But rest assured it will be delivered in future firmware releases.

and another reply

We will also receive new SDKs from Realtek which promises of new features, support or bug fixes. The next one that we are going to develop on will be the pass-through support of the TrueHD and DTS-HD MA cores, Bluray ISO and menu support, just to name a few.

Looks like I'm keeping mine...

some fella in some forums say this thing only 90+ USD?

USD169 lah...USD90 maybe U get the casing only.

A renown pc shop in Low Yat has a huge batch of this player on the way. I will update once it arrived and also their selling price.

chewkl or someone who can help,

i have just upgraded my ac ryan with the latest firmware (r1402) which is supposed to be able to handle subtitles changes - Add subtitles position (up, down) and font size (left-decrease, right-increase). But I don't seem to be able to do so from my remote control. Have you tried it? Can anyone share with me how to adjust the subtitle font size and position in the screen?

Thanks.

Bro Barry, the subtitle size / move can only be done for external subs like .srt files. It won't work for m2ts PGS subtitles. Not sure if internal subs in mkv can be resized or moved though...

Thanks, chewkl. I only have mkv files, but i do have one mkv movie (independence day) with ext subtitle file. Will try it out. How to adjust on the remote?

Bro, just use the cursor keys...left/right = resize, up/down = move.

any updates? roughly when will they hav this player here...today i was at lowyat (the plaza) and saw alot shops selling clamul..one guy was testing them, not too impressed...

also quite a few other media players - VONO or something & some mini media player too..less than RM200...

but din see anyone with the Playon!HD...

At the bottom you can open to install a 3.5inch HD, can see the whole insides of the unit.

alot user go there diccuss.

ok thanks bro

WDTV can go play far far. Don't even have HDMI 1.3.
Dvico is an established player in the market. Why do U think they can command a high price?
ACRyan and Xtreamer are newcomers to the playing field. Basically both are the same on the inside as they are using the same Realtek chipset. Difference is only on their customized firmware. There are also a lot of other companies coming up with their own players based on the same 1073DA/DD Realtek chipset.
