Since I've just got one unit of the HDPro Media Player from bro yangxi in this forum, I think I'll start this official thread so that all owners of this player can share their experience (good, bad and ugly; problems and solutions) all in one place for easy reference. My main purpose of getting this player is to view my HD 1920x1080, 60p videos taken with my Sanyo HD2000 camcorder and must now confirm that these can play without any problem on the HDPro. They could not be played on the PS3 and the older WDTV player (not sure about the WDTV Live, could not test). I suppose these 60p videos can also play on all media players using the same Realtek 1073DD chip. Anyway, this is just to start off as there are many other new features on the HDPro which I don't know how to use yet. So fellow owners of the HDPro, please chip in to make this your thread!

Hi all,

I am also HDPro owner. So far so good using it. The only thing that it is lacking is that it cannot play most of the 7.1 channel like DTS-MA, DD-Plus and so on. Hope in future firmware upgrade can work.

Realtek 1186

HDPRO X3 (release December 2011)

Can further extend this topic to S6T users?

Yangxi indeed is a very good seller, highly recommend.

7.1 channel can downmix .

Can play HD-MA sound, that's the thing. As it carries two data streams in the track, the 5.1 and an additional two surround channels, the HDPRO simply drops the two channels and plays the 5.1 core. So it does play it.


Multi-Channel Stereo

Dolby Digital 5.1 (pass-through & downmix to stereo)
Dolby Digital Plus (pass-through)*
DTS (pass-through & downmix to stereo)

can allow us to post also about S6 here? it's because both of them share a similar spec right? I'm interested to get a S6 so i hope to do some comparison here before i make my purchase.

Also, I notice that HDPro firmware is frequently updated. Is S6 firmware update-able also? or they can share same firmware?

S6,S6T can discuss here.

S6/T use 64mb flash..~HDPRO(256MB). can't share same firmware

Hi,

I just bought HDPro, so would like to share my experience.

Received it pretty quick right after yangxi confirm with delivery. Upon receiving, box looks ok. inside, everything are in placed. The HDPro was mention mention as black color on yangxi the site, but I got mine in silver. I was hoping it was black. Anyway I installed my 1TB drive immediately and go ahead with the 1st boot up.

I own a Yamaha RX-V465 AVR. Connect it to my 2nd HDMI where my 1st is connected to a BluRay player. Yamaha AVR have NO issue with this player. NO hand shake issue at all.

Next, I format the HDD. Then I connect the player via USB, and realized my PC cant recognize the player HDD. After a few try with 2 pc, I took out my camera cable which work. It shows, the USB cable is defective. Not sure if yangxi want to send me a new one. ha ha ha ha

Well next, I proceed with movie. I tested UP and Walle, IpMan and Legions. They are all mp4 files. Works like a charm. smooth and clear. Especially UP. So clear look like Bluray format. Even my downloaded IpMan is better than my DVD I bought. My wife couldnt believe what this player could do.

Next, I try to install BT Samba. This is where I realized, I cant get it installed. Tried many ways and recommendations from the web but all fail. But the last recommendation that I didnt try, actually work. For those who just received this, you may need to downgrade the firmware and then only install BT Samba. Once complete, you could upgarde it back to the latest firmware again. It was pretty fast actually.

I'm watching UP now while typing. Run the IP for my HDPro and open the drive. and play WALL E from my notebook wirelessly. To my surprise, no lag at all. Both movie play smoothly. Then, I try running IP from my notebook, while it play on my TV. Again, it work like a charm. Both my TV and Notebook play smoothly. Amazing. Even the 5.1 surround sound from the mp4 file is great. Next I open 2 movies from my notebook and let UP playing on TV.
Amazing... NO problem at all. all movies play smoothly with no issue.

The color setting is cool. You stop at a video, and go setup. It allows you to see the color setting in real time. So, human skin color etc is easy to adjust.

Alright.... so far so good. Next, I'm to try using the BT apps. see how it work and how fast it can download vs a normal computer? That will be my next thing to do. Now enjoy the movie 1st...

Thanks for the brief review. How many GB are your mp4 files? Have you tried files above 8GB in MKV containers?

What is BT Samba for?

I'll test it with other format including MKV. usually, I dont need this large files since I'm playing them with my computer. Now with this baby. my 40" Samsung LCd Ttrue HD looks really good.

Btw.. the mp4 files I got only around 2G. Interesting how the result looks like. Especially UP.

Will be testing DVD.ISO.

I dont have BD.ISO though.


Adtionally, I think this new firmware have problem playing Youtube. The rest are ok.

Too bad I saw "Yangxi HDpro" on te earlier fanclub ..That prompted me to post a friendly reminder.. Anyway, I did not see any one reporting on reseller starting any new 'Indirect" promotional fanclub thread...If anyone wanna to start reporting kah

Anyway, for those thread maybe already there for ages & probably almost similar to "Indirect advertisemnt" ....close one eye only-lah..Too long liao...Very susah & probably I will kena bang hammer for closing an existing long winded thread....Those forumers should hv click on the 'Report" button when it started...

Yours' is just unlucky...bcos the Thrad just stareted & wth "Yangxi" as the title heading sumore...If u hv just put HDpro & saying you own it...you probably hv excpaed the deletion

yangxi,
I couldnt watch youtube. I can connect and search, but when i wanna play the video, it says not supported. Tried every clips in youtube, turned out same.

Also, how come when I connect HDPRO to my router via LAN, all my computers (2 desktops and 1 laptop), speed crawled to 0 kbps. Cant even surf. So, i disconnected HDPRO, become normal again. I tried whole night, same thing.

Anyone has this issue? seems like HDPRO sucks all the bandwidth??

Youtube get block (3rd time..). Suppose youtube not allow use in player. Enginner still work on it.

LAN problem? so far not happen this issue.. weird.
try revert back older version..

THen I tried m2ts files, fooyohhhhh, ps3 kalah kao kao again...

This player can customize zoom & aspect ratio?
