Bro, does it support full BD menu?

Yes tried it with my iso files. The best feature for me is the video on demand with bluray rips. Thousands of movie titles and series from English to Chinese. Now the only thing I need more is time to watch them all lol

Hi Guys,

Thinking of buying a HD Media Player to replace my constant habit of buying blurays. I have also subscribed to Unifi VIP10 and wanna fully utilise it by download some 1080p movies.

Can anyone recommend one the fits my requirements?


My requirments are as follow:

1. Must have bit torrent capabilities. Wanna do the downloads from here rather than my PC so must be a stable platform
2. Supports HD Audio (DTS HD and Dolby True HD). I think what I need is the pass through option as I already have a high end Receiver/Amp from Denon.
3. Excellent picture quality.
4. Must support 3.5" hard disk.


My budget is around RM1500 excluding the hard disk.

You can look for Popcorn Hour. It may suite your need.

Hi,

Thanks for the input. Had a look at the popcorn C-200 but it didn't have the wifi capability by default but required the wifi card to be ordered seperately. Decided to go with the Dune HD Smart D1 with the Dlink Wireless-N DWA-140(rev B2) USB and a WD Green 2TB hard disk. (Total damage for all 3 items was RM1130 from Compuzone)

Really happy with the purchase as the picture and sound quality is amazing and almost on par with my blurays when playing 1080p movie downloads. Now have to find some movie files that have DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD to really test out the sound quality.

Only dissapointment is that the built-in torrent client is very basic and I am unable to use OpenVPN to bypass Streamyx's torrent throttling. Guess have to continue use my macbook for downloads.

Hi,

No problems. Go ahead with your decision as long as the unit suite your need. May be we can do some comparision after you test/explore the unit. Thanks.

Hi,

Do you store you files in its internal drive or do you stream it from NAS ?

Storing it in the internal 2TB drive. I'm still using wireless-G tech which is not fast enough to stream HD content over it.

Hi sifu-sifu,

Any functions/features that I can surf net through my media player or any 3rd party software?
I would like to maximized my media player features. Going to explore every inch of it. heheh....
I'm planning to make used of the NAS functions. So, my next project is to store all my music files and photos. May need assist from time to time.

Thank you.

Hello sifus hope y'all can help me. I want to set up a NAS at my house to store my music, movies and photos. I need a media player that can also stream these files to the devices at my house (iPhone, iPad, laptops). Currently I'm considering the r1185 based v10 and asiabox. Which is better? I'm currently using datage 1055 and kinda satisfied with the picture quality. I'm more interested in the stability of the NAS and torrent function. Please help.

Hey guys whats the cheapest media player using the most powerful chipset? Is it still Sigma 8643/42 ? if yes what Media player can reco? No need HDD enclosure, most important is cheap & really powerful.

Just to share with you, I am using a Synology DS-411slim (4 x 2.5" bay) to serve as both a NAS and also media server. You should check it out as it is the most full featured NAS for home use. I am using it with 2 AsiaBox to download and playback movies, even Bluray ISO directly over my LAN. You need to get min. at least DS-211 (2-bay) or DS411(4-bay) model if you want to use 3.5" hard disk. I got the DS411slim because it is cheaper than the DS411 but then I end up paying more for 2.5" hard disk. One important advantage is 2.5" should perform better even at same RPM due to smaller disk platter.



Synology DS411slim

It can support Torrent and even NZB downloads directly so no need to burn out your PC. Easy to administer web admin client from anywhere. Also, you can use SynDroid on any Android device to control and select downloads!!

If you need a NAS for download, this is the best one. Only disadvantage as with all such NAS is you need to install new internal drives. If you use your existing drives already loaded with content, you will have to copy it out first and then copy back.

You can also mount and share external hard disk with USB or e-SATA. No need to copy into the NAS.

Need more info? PM me.

I will outline my setup in http://www.asiabox.my
