not yet test on screen saver ，but it is not a big deal screen saver , as long as all media file can plug n play (from flv until bd-iso) from downmix or 7.1 without sound crack ...


Your firmware already latest at march 2011 ?

no worry, i just voice out to clear off some doubt. By the way, i am the one watching guess, and only hliang do all the converting, so no choice, unless there's other source i will drop hliang.


@yangxi, u haven't come back with an answer regarding the auto-reboot when plug in/out USB dvd from hdpro+. Is it normal?

duh...

@yangxi, u haven't come back with an answer regarding the auto-reboot when plug in/out USB dvd from hdpro+. Is it normal?

USB device not hot plug. suggest u turn off player, replug again.

meaning i cannot plug and play USB thumbdrive directly?

I dont face any reboot problem when test it on thumbdrive and the unit will auto reboot only when i did that to USB dvdrw-rom

USB dvdrw-rom (don't hotplug)

what type u use?

-with 5.25 enclosure?
- slimtype ? without external power ?

slim type with USB power, but i never it since 1 USB is enough to run the disc inside.

what is the max current drawn when external DVD drive is operating? usb can only supply 500mA per port

what are u trying to say? I can use the usb dvdrw without any problem from my desktop and laptop without the usb power. If my device cant get enough power, I cant it with only 1 usb. I don't see this got any relation with auto-reboot of hdpro.

ckboon,
if you got time try to download the following guess from non-bt source and see got same problem or not.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LZ7Y9TUX

merely stating the fact, 500mA per usb port

understood, but i don't it's related with the auto reboot of hdpro.. if so, then my pc/laptop too will reboot!

my guess is that your media player's usb port is unable to supply the maximum design output current of 500mA, since your pc and laptop's usb ports are working perfectly with your external dvd drive, this demonstrate that output current from usb ports from your pc+laptop are spot on

hmmm....

according to yangxi it's not usb dvd-rom hot slot, AFAIK, if it's not hotslot, hdpro won't detect the device till i reboot and not the unit auto reboot, but it's not a big deal for me right now as i seldom will unplug it since it's my source to play DVD disc. Once it's slot in to hdpro+, i can't eject it manually from the dvdrom button, but needa use the remote to do so...

the remote got eject button.

i meant i am force to use the remote eject button to eject the disc and i cant eject it by pushing the eject button from dvdrw-rom itself.

downloaded, and it's encoded by hliang too.. i think it should yield the same outcome..

lol, i thought it's from another encoder...

anyway, thanks for the input..

Bro,
I got two slim type external dvdrw-rom, panasonic (the one use in notebook) and liteon (claimed can be power up using single usb port).
I tested both on my HDPRO Mini and it can read and play the file (only try about 30 min each) and yes, can't manually eject.
However, after i use cheap RM2 cable and it won't detect (single port) and take long time to detect using cheap y-cable but it still ok. The original cable for both external drive is double the size of these cheap cable.
I got usb extension cable that came with dlink wifi and if i use it as extension, none of the cables able to detect the drive. So may be it is true that the port on media player cannot supply enough 500ma to external device.
The only thing i didn't test is to use cheap cable + usb ac adapter on my panasonic drive (got dedicated dc jack)

ummm, on GUESS i will try to get it and try on my player.

bro,

for my case i just used single usb cable and am able to read. It doesn't need to be power up using any other USB power source. I had watched movies for over 3 hrs through the slim USB dvdrw-rom without any problem

my problem is plug in/out the dvdrw-rom usb cable which cause hdpro+ to reboot by itself. I don't see any power issue in my case. my dvdrw-rom can be considered plug in permanently to my hdpro+ and each and every time it will auto detect the disc inside and jump to my dvd folder when i startup my hdpro+, hence i needa disable the auto detect dvdrom from hdpro+, and this prove that my dvdrw-rom got enough power by using single USB cable.

the problem i wanna voice out here is the auto reboot during dvdrw-rom usb plug in/out from the hdpro+, and eject button been disable from ROM which we are force to use the remote to eject.

and that's why i said i don't see any relation of my problem with the lack of power to power up my dvdrw-rom.
