i bought my mini last saturday in The Hub, LYP. got it for RM540 including acryan wifi dongle...

TS plz add me up in the users list

i bought frm DigitalMall..2 units.rm415 per unit.

How much is the Acryan Wifi dongle alone?

anyone try to stream 720p or 1080p movie via wifi n-draft? is it smooth?

Got the mini unit today from digital mall. Compared to the WDTV non live version, I can say I'm satisfied with the performance of this unit. Especially when I seek or fwd, it is so smooth. WDTV really lag on this. There is a pros n cons. Too bad this unit doesn't support thumbnail for each movie folder and have to browse by each folder where WDTV has this feature. So I think even if my dad wanna watch the movies also having hard time to figure out how to find a movie to watch.

Overall, is worth the money to get this! happy owner here

I have been streaming 720p and 1080p contents over homeplugs (200mbps version) via UPnP and all is well.

updating firmware for 1st time in about 5-6 months (nvr update before)

the latest official firmware Version v7.06.r2901...it includes all previous firmware update??

got error playing m2ts files...this firmware update will solve that problem?

I've been streaming over 100mbps lan network from my PC with 1080p, no lag.

ic something like streaming from pc to ps3?

thanks bro.

Correct me if im wrong, I actually browse thru the network and open that file from my PC's location. Whereby PC stream to ps3 it need to use Media streaming software like PS3 media server. The 1st method, encoding is done from the POHD itself, whereby the 2nd method encoding is done from the PC and pass the signal to PS3. I've tested both before, PC stream to PS3 with 1080p full hd with subtitle ON will lag unless u use a powerful PC or more than 100mbps Lan speed, not wifi. But for POHD, is different.

I've been streaming on 100mbps LAN - I get lag during VERY complex scenes (with lots of noise or moving/panning stuffs). Pausing and resuming will help until the buffer is emptied (e.g. if pause for 5 seconds, the next 5 seconds of movie will not lag) making me think it's a buffering issue on the POHD.

LAN is 100Mbps (through a Gigabit backbone), server is a 2.XGhz dual core 2GB running Fedora (powerfull enough just for fileserving), downloads/P2P are on separate HDD, network traffic is low (especially at night when no one in the house is using).

Any ideas? Settings I should play with? I have 2 units- mini and the big one (installed a HDD on the big one hoping that it will use it for buffering- no love, it's still the same)

if normal drama comedy its ok..no problem with 1080p....no lag at all.

but once u start playing movie with a lot of movement then u can see the lagging and stuttering..

i'm using trendnet wireless usb dongle anyway

I encountered the same problem if I stream using the "Network" option to acces the 720p/1080p content from my NAS. However, using the "UPnP" option instead, no lag at all.

It is not the 720p and 1080p resolution problem, it is the bitrates problem. If the bitrates more then 15mbps, it will lagging. For Network streaming, below 25mbps is ok.
Cheers.

thanks bro!! luckily havent update yet...thanks again!

just wonder how to ensure network streaming sending end bitrate will not drop due to traffic activity ?

The TrendNet is 150Mbps or 300Mbps ?

You got the point. ACRyan is 300Mbps and come with cardle for new batch.

If Acryan is 300mbps then it is worth to get it

The Hub quoted me RM129 for the dongle alone. n yes it does come with docking.
