1186 is good player,no doubt.but some bluray ISO can`t play well,like inception & real steel

... will report manufacture. I always 当肉 Re-remux MKV version.
Just got this Realtek 1186 player from Yangxi, I am very impressed with the video performance.
Pros
1. The 1080p planet earth mkv sample (16 reframes) plays without problems full sound and no pixelization at all
- I have tested a few other 1080p complete movie files that was unplayable on my hdpro with SUCCESS as well (previously just playable on a powerful notebook)
2. FINALLY no more
screeching sounds during playback of AAC (using SPDIF LPCM to my yamaha amp via optical cable)
- plays more softly but no sound issues anymore, just have to turn up the volume of my amp
3. Scan media to allow the use of the Music icon is quite useful - you can select to view the playlist or album which is great
4. Samba network share performance is quite good (had to disable password as no idea what is the user/password)
- I use this to copy files to the hard disk
5. The hard disk which I used for HDpro I could just put into the hard disk tray without formatting and it works
- To install: just had to align the hard disk with 1 screw hole of the tray in the middle on one side of the hard disk only. The other screw hole on the hard disk is held by the 2 hooks in the tray.
Cons:
1. Default menu on 1st startup is in Chinese. Had to guess the setup button and go to language (lucky got it with first try to set to English)
2. Default thumbnail view results in slower interface compared to HDpro (but you can set it back to list view - which is like hdpro)
3. Scan media to allow the use of the Movie icon is not so useful - cannot really sort/organise the movies
4. DTV icon since not usable - wish there is a way to just disable it from appearing.
5. Does not seem to have a way to enable subtitles automatically and autosave subtitles setting like hdpro
- Always have to enable subtitles manually and select positioning, size, color all the time
Will
update this post only when I have more usage clocked in to this player....
*As not sure if should continue more posts in this HDpro thread
