My friend help me to bought it from SG while it launch in June. I just updated the firmware and now support chinese subtitle for ts file. Chinese subtitle for mt2s still not support. They claim it will supprt BD-iso from the future firware updating. There will be another firmware updating release in august which make the player to support True HD and DTS Ma sound encoding pass through. So far it play all the file i have including RMVB so i think is much better than WDTV. There still have some minor issue for the player but i think the proboem can be solve through future firmware updating.

Might be i am using the wrong method to play. Usually there will be lots of mt2s files inside the stream folder. How should i play in order to get the menu since it already support bd-iso?

when u playback the iso file,the player will choose the largest m2ts file inside.get a file and try then u will understand.

Sorry bro. I try but still not successful. The BD-ISO file is it same like DVD-ISO? Currently while i want to open my blu-ray rips files i will need to go to the BDMV folder then pick the Stream folder and inside the Stream folder there will be lots of M2TS files. Sometime, the largest M2TS file will be at the top of the list but some will be placed at the 3rd or 5th of the list. Everytime i will need to check from the preview the largest file in order to play the movie. After update to this firmware, still the same. Another thing, is it only Tivx can play all those BD-ISO menu like blu-ray?

TVIX doesn't do what C-200 does.. (it's just doing what realtek is doing but adding a layer of BDlite simplistic basic menu and ability to bitstream the HD audio) while C-200 actually understands all the files in a BD-iso and it's java menus as well..
so if you thinking of TVix because it does more than Acryan, then ok but it's still isn't a properly functional "BD"player..
*
I understand that loading of BD java menus will be taking lots of loading times. What i mean is a basic menu support will do. If really want the full function for blu-ray support, perhaps can consider oppo-bd83. Currently what player produce the best of AQ? AC Ryan? Xtreamer? Dvico or Popcorn?

oppo can't play BD-iso.. ?? how come bring this into picture?

as for basic menu support... I think the 6500/7000 would have the best support for this category.. but it's still guessing the largest M2ts file for 1st file playback.. dun expect some BDs to play from start...

seriously pay so much for the M6600 just to have nice UI? but it can't do even 50% of what Dune and C-200 (with buggy menu) in the same 1k+ price range can do?
it's weird logic..
*
C200 still have lot of bugs as i read it from other forum or review. Lots of forumer said they would just stay for using A110 instead of upgrade to C200. Any idea where can i find those player? I am afraid will KENA TAX if import from SG.... As for Oppo BD83, a friend of mine had test it out and understand that it can play MKV smoothly. Who know it might can play BD-ISO through firmware update in future. PQ and AQ wise it should be superb.

The image loader for my player was under DVR TV so it can't update to the current or future firmware anymore. AC ryan site claim that is their fault and will arrange for replacement. The problem now is i am not in SG la.

When you sent it back make sure you declare using a Malaysian Custom C2 form. DHL/Fedex will normally do it FOC for you. Then when they sent you back the unit just have to show the form as proof with the same serial no of the unit. If they changed a new unit then it's taxable. RMA on same unit is tax free.

Thanks for reply bro. Is that mean i will need to ask DHL/Fedex to arrange for sending back the unit to SG and after exchange then sending back to me again? I didn't pay any tax while i bring back the unit in June also. Will they ask for the receipt? If tax, how much is the maximum? 25%? 40%? I am still waiting for the AC Ryan SG reply.

The image loader for my player was under DVR TV instead of playon HD while it 1st load on. It showed Playon HD in the menu so i never go and bother until this current firmware out and i cant update. Future firmware wouldnt be able to update as well. AC Ryan site said is the image loader problem. They had installed the wrong image loader for my batch of units. There are some other user facing the same problem as shown in the AC Ryan forum as well. cry.gif

Anyone who bought the very early Playon!HD models and got the DVR-TV logo after updatinng to latest firmware, you might be able to get a new unit .

Read this on the AC Ryan Playon!HD forums (dated 8/12/09) :-

"Hey there ***, (<<< not me  biggrin.gif )

You seem to have gotten one of the early players, there was a mix-up in the factory and that's why you see the DVR image. Do me a favor, PM Eugene your serial number of the device (found on the back of the player as a sticker), where you purchased the player and also tell Eugene that you are having the issues with the DVR screen. He will try an arrange an exchange unit (new model) for you. Please do note that Eugene is not back in the office till Friday, so please bear with us. "

Don't know if this is applicable for local units.

Update
----------

I checked back the old posts and yes, one of our forumer here 'Superyaw' got  the DVR TV logo on his Playon!HD (unfortunately). And he did say he was offered a replacement.
*
There is no replacement for new unit. Eugene will arrange for the unit to be sent back to SG and they will re-program the unit so that it will be able to update to the current or future firmware. They had re-program my unit and is transit in SG now. Schedule to reach me by this coming saturday.

Hi. Has anyone test the latest v2891 beta firmware? It can play BDMV folder with this firmware but it will only pick the largest M2TS file to play and the problem is not every movie opening is the largest M2TS file in the folder so sometime it will start to play from the middle of movie. I have few movies like King Kong, if i select to play from folder, it detect the movie only have 1 hour+ and It won't jump to the next file so end up i still need to select the file manually. Is there anyway to solve this problem? I try to convert it to BD-ISO and is still facing the same problem.
