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! This post has been edited by ronaldkwok: Mar 10 2010, 06:25 PM |

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. |

** Yangxi’s HD Pro+ / HDPro Mini Review **
   http://macammacamada.com/?p=1254  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) (unfair treated by mod... can't post much)  ============================================== HDPRO Realtek 1055    ================================================ HDPRO mini+    This post has been edited by yangxi: Nov 15 2011, 01:01 AM |

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? This post has been edited by kkhong: Mar 11 2010, 12:39 AM |

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?

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 QUOTE(yangxi @ Mar 11 2010, 09:45 AM) Hope same treated by AC-Ryan,Xtreamer,Asus and other owner thread... not advertising. |

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?? |

QUOTE(eMKs @ Mar 11 2010, 01:15 PM) This player can customize zoom & aspect ratio? yes it can. another good feature is the continue play back from where you stop. any movies that you watch before, it will ask you whether want to continue from where you stop. This is cool. All movies, not just the last movie you watch. one more is the find feature. just key in the time base on the total length of the movie, then enter. It takes you there without lag. is like less then a second. And for the sound format, I made it all raw. So all sound will be decoded at my AVR. Nice. |

Yeah... will test that later on larger file. 8G and above.Watching the movie UP on 1080p is much much more than interesting especially on your 40" Samsung LCd Ttrue HD! I hate watching youtube on 40" panel. Testing the Bittorrent download. Hmm, is kinda slow. I purposely choose the most seeded files. Still is pretty slow. I wonder if it can do open port? I cant find any port setting in BT page. Usually, open pod can make it even faster. |

There is a separate little 4:3 button and 16:9 button. I find the 4:3 (Pan and Scan) very useful for watching old shaw brothers movies in full screen. No noticeable stretched images

HDPro Media Player works almost perfectly. Although i have not play around with it very long time. However, i do notice a few things.
It seem not having a function like auto volume level (normalization on the fly). This end up i have to +/- vol when watching different files I do wish to have this auto switching between 16:9 and 4:3, although not necessary. Well these r only my wishlist. |

I tested the BT download. Really really slow. I guess it cant do a good job on this vs a computer. The highest speed I saw was around 1.5kb/s.
Also you may experience intermittent disconnect if you trasfering really large files thru network to HDPro. Transfer direct thru USB is recomended. |

I test 2 things today.
1. I downloaded some mt2s videos by DTS and Dolby. The Dobly TrueHD audio cant be recognize. The DTS can, but my amp show DTS and not DTS Master Audio. The Video file is a DTS Master audio and sound great! 2. I realize that the video setting to 1080p at 60hz and sort of 'upscale'. Am I right? Because, I post a scean for a video and toggle video setting from 720p to 1080p and I could see the different. Does that means this box actually upscale? |

I did some sample test on it. it does balance the volume of played file. But this player no downmix sound. that why i turn to HDPRO.Sometime things never get perfect... is it? unless its HTPC with XBMC. |

tested DVD.ISO of MJ This Is It. Video at 720x480. Audio is AC3 6 channel, 48kHz. B rate at 448kbps show on amp.
Smooth played and sound of the 6 channel run smoothly on my 5.1 sound Yamaha Amp. Nice. This video utilized lots of surround sound. Cool. Smooth streaming from my Notebook simultaneously with the player playing on TV Still waiting for larger MKV files... |

This HDpro can handle all these rmvb,mkv (more than 10G), even bluray ts file (more than 40G) with no problem at all. Movie PQ is almost similar to what PS3 have.
Playing the uncompress audio,WAV with better sound performance than other media player,for example Inphic I9. Of course, if compare to PS3, hdpro still lack of some details & punch sound. For budget RM400, I would recommend it. |

One of the new features in the HDPro is the Ken Burns effect for viewing photos under the Misc setup screen. It is less boring that watching your photos in a static slide show even with the transition effects on. This is good for showing off your photos on a HDTV as they fill the wide-screen and slowly zoom and pan like a slow video. This is not for the purists since your photos will be zoomed and cropped; how else can you fit a 4:3 photo in a 16:9 screen?

guys,
I wonder if HDPro could actually play mkv files with lossless audio? Most of the movie I have come with DTS only. Not the Master audio or even lossless PCM format. I have some test files I donwloaded with lossless audio format but HDPro cant recornized it. The spec says it play BD.ISO so I guess thats where it possibly play HD MA or TrueHD. But how about those MKV and M2TS files with lossless audio format? |

I have asked these same question before but no answer forthcoming.
Either it is not able to play or they still don't know. Either way, the silence is not reassuring. |

It can play the video at 1080p. But no audio output.If AC-Ryan,Asus can.. HDPRO also same. So far, what I know is these media players can only play mkv files with DTS or Dobly Digital. But NOT for lossless LPCM, Master Audio and True HD. But most of the movies online that downloable are DTS 5.1 or DD only or PCM at 48kHz. Have not seen one at 96kHz yet. |

I know the auto playback music feature didnt work when viewing photo, but notice, it work when you play music and then go open the photo album ha ha.... This is good, so u can choose the music album to play, then go open the photo album without changing the playlist. This post has been edited by tracktion3: Mar 18 2010, 05:56 PM |

For those who own this player, how is the sensitivity of the front panel button? Because it looks to me like touch senser kind of button. Not too sure how effective is the sensitivity of front panel button.
I think it's was very thoughtful of manufacturer to produce player with button on the player. As you know sometime the remote control spoilt due to unforseen various reason (kids, frequently accidentally drop it...etc) or temporary misplacing it, so the front panel button comes in handy while waiting for a replacement.

Since there is no 'earth' on the plug design, I am trying to find out whether the electrical leakage is by design or is my unit faulty as it is. |

QUOTE(neuvas @ Mar 20 2010, 05:10 PM) my unit is ok, try connecting to different sources.. u'll get what i mean.. I don't think you understand what the 'earth' point on a plug is about. The 'earth' point on a plug serves as the grounding source for the electrical item in instances when there is power surge either through faulty internal components or from the power supply. Unless your unit comes with a three-pin plug as standard, then there is no difference whichever source the power plug is connected to, as there is only two pins on the plug for 'live' and 'neutral'.Secondly, some computer component design uses the metal casing as a sort of grounding as well, similar to the concept of car batteries grounding on the car chassis. So, if this is indeed the design employed by the manufacturer on the HD-Pro, then it will be a normal instance to feel the slight electrical tingle depending on whether the person touching it is directly 'grounded' or not. However, my question again is if there is anybody that has the similar experience, please do say so. I do not wish to make a hasty warranty claim from Yangxi, nor do I wish to risk the safety of my harddisk inside the HD-Pro in case this is a sign of it being faulty.

QUOTE(coldzerotarget @ Mar 20 2010, 07:45 PM) I don't think you understand what the 'earth' point on a plug is about. The 'earth' point on a plug serves as the grounding source for the electrical item in instances when there is power surge either through faulty internal components or from the power supply. Unless your unit comes with a three-pin plug as standard, then there is no difference whichever source the power plug is connected to, as there is only two pins on the plug for 'live' and 'neutral'. As long as the unit on. the leakage is there. Yes the 2 pin plug will not have any "Earth" there. My unit does. However my unit works, yes my unit has hdd put inside. The leakage is found to be the problem on the AC-DC SMPS Adapter. ( just plug in the adapter n on without connect the hdpro, use ur hand to touch the dc voltage plug which suppose to connect hdpro, its shock.) I think what u mean is this.Secondly, some computer component design uses the metal casing as a sort of grounding as well, similar to the concept of car batteries grounding on the car chassis. So, if this is indeed the design employed by the manufacturer on the HD-Pro, then it will be a normal instance to feel the slight electrical tingle depending on whether the person touching it is directly 'grounded' or not. However, my question again is if there is anybody that has the similar experience, please do say so. I do not wish to make a hasty warranty claim from Yangxi, nor do I wish to risk the safety of my harddisk inside the HD-Pro in case this is a sign of it being faulty. However, do anyone face this problem? sudden black screen and restore while playing the movie? (Using HDMI Connection) |

Copy install.img to the root directory of a USB flash drive and connect it to the USB host port of the player. Enter the Setup menu, System, System Update, System Upgrade and Enter to confirm. Please wait for the flashing to complete until the player restarts by itself. (sometimes need twice) Do not power off the unit during the flashing process! I've tried another 4G mkv movie with another same name srt file, subtitle can be loaded & shown. But for 2G mkv in-built srt, hdpro cant display the subtitle automatically, everytime have to reselect the subtitle & turn it ON. (A6&S7T don have this problem).... Is there any firmware possible to handle the problem? |

Should not be a problem as harddisks are specified to run in conditions up to 50°C generally, plus the metal casing of HD-Pro should be good for dissipating heat. |

Hi Yang Xi,
Thanks for the great product. I've received mine last weekend and it works great in playing my video files and it works fine with my DTS Amp. However, I'm facing some problem with the unit i have and I hope you could advice on how to solve it. 1st Problem : Can't Bootup after Power Off The unit I have can't Bootup after I shutdown and then turn off the power. When I turn back on the power, the blue keypad lights just lights on and nothing happen. The yellow LED is also off. Sometimes I repeat this power off/on, i get the blue keypad and yellow power LED continuously blinking and nothing happen besides that. I have to actually pull out the power 12VDC at the back of the unit and plug in back to have the unit bootup properly. Is this normal or is there a solution for this? 2nd problem: Can't Detect Wireless-N USB Donggle I have a Wireless-N donggle model WL552USB from Aztech. It is using Ralink Driver in my PC. When I plug in this donggle to the HDPRo, nothing happen. Is this Donggle not compatible? Do you have a list of compatible donggle? if yes, could you kindly PM me? Thanks for your time taken to answer my questions. Best Regards, stacker99 |

what is your firmware date ? (goto setup->system-> system info)
1.) remote turn on. -Some batch using the new boot loader cause it. (supose need protect HDD) I need serial tool to update this.. 2.) Realtek 1073dd player only use own wifi chipset (RTL8187,RTL8191SU). others cannot. This post has been edited by yangxi: Mar 31 2010, 11:20 AM |

After our phone conversation, the new boot loader behaves this way to protect improper shut down of the HDD. I will try and see if I could live with it. If no, I'll contact you and send back for the ROM upgrade. As for the Wifi Donggle, I'll try to get one with the advised chipset. Thanks & Regards, Stacker99 |

Hi tracktion3,
Just a wild idea, maybe you can try connecting the USB port for PC at one HDPRO and connect it to another HDPRO's USB port. Your 2nd HDPRO should see your 1st HDPRO as a Hard Drive. YangXi, Could you confirm if this can be done without damaging the unit? |

I believe if your PC has two USB ports, you can connect both the HDPro to each of the USB ports. Your PC should see them as two differenct Hard Drives and you can then copy the files across.

I bought a AC Ryan ACR-PV73100 Playon!HD and use the firmware Firmware Ver. v7.06.r1757 and never update.
As most people are updating to the latest firmware, Firmware Ver. v7.06.r1757, is it a great improvement ot update to the latest version? Is it hard ot flash back to the older formware version? " just need a confirmation from users who have updated and what are the problems encountered after the update. If none or few, I may join the human race and advance with latest technology. Ha ha. I do have problems loading the subtitles like sub. The player manu said it could play quite a few types of subtitles but the only type I can play is srt. Any advice on how to solve this so I can watch most foreign movies with subtitles? Also some MWV also cannot be played. Will the latest firmware solve ths problem? I hope that who has updated the firmware can kindly advise me on the results and so comment on the subtitle formats. Thanks in advance. Cheers |

These are list of feature that I like to see in this player
1. Rather than display All, Music, Photo, Movies. By right it should display Everyone, PG, PG13, Ristricted, Matured 2. System should boot up with a user/password where level of access can be set for different rated movies or files. This feature is very important when you are a parent 3. Files should be allowed to be locked with password 4. Should support pp stream 5. When turning on the unit, it should default into Browser menu 6. Should have option to disable certain menu like setup and filecopy 7. Should have something like start.ini whether it can automatically play certain predefine movies, for advertising purpose This post has been edited by chek: Apr 6 2010, 09:06 PM |

Hi Shen,
Maybe I can help. Just plug in your Wifi Donggle (has to be Realtek Chipset), go to Settings--->Network---->Wireless Setup---->Connection1,2or3 ---->Select you connection type (Normally would be Infrastructure AP for standard Wifi home router) Then select the SSID and key in your WEP key if needed. If you keep on getting "Cannot get SSID", very likely your donggle is not of the correct type. So far i've tried using Aztech Wireless-N donggle and it doesn't work with HDPRO. Then I got the correct Realtek Chipset Wireless N usb from yangxi and it works. Try it out and let us know the result Best Regards, stacker |

Of course you must make sure your wireless signal strength is OK. So best to test next to your wireless router before moving further away. Generally if your laptop WiFi works in that spot, the dongle for the HDPro should also work there.

I've been lurking in this thread for some time, has anyone used this player as a NAS?
Any reliability concerns / issues for long term network access? I'm thinking to use this as a NAS for bittorrent / ftp downloading through my normal HTPC, since you guys say its slow. Thinking to get one from yangxi after get bonus this month. |

Hi I just placed order for HDpro with seller but stock run out. So I booked for the next shipment.
May I suggest to seller to create a simple blog that contain all the information needed for each of his product such as product features, firmware update, manuals, video, FAQ and so on. You can use free blogspot (free maa). Kind a lost with long thread discussion which features available or what firmware needed. Just my suggestion. Any who what great product you got there. |

May I know how to fit the video source to my 16:9 screen?
I also dunno why the video source i downloaded was some weird resolution (like 1920x800, etc) instead of 1920 x 1080 even though they mentioned 1080p. I used my fren's media player to play, it was full screen, but not in HDPro. And any recommended setting for colors? Brightness, contrast, hue, etc. I feel the color quite weird compare to my fren's media player. Thanks. |

The reason is simply becos films are shot and released in different widescreen formats. Philips has this crazy 21:9 screen, think it's called 'true-cinema' or something - your fren got fullscreen - maybe he zoomed more, or he stretch to full screen without "maintaining" aspect ratio |

Currently I am using Linksys WAG200G Wifi-G Modem/Router.
Streaming video is a problem when the distance (>15ft) with the USB WIFI Dougle .Network speed is as low as 165kbps so not able to stream video .What is your recommendation(Brand/Model) for a good/reliable Wifi-N Modem/Router to go with the HDPro Wifi Dongle to stream HD video? TQ |

I have just tried playing some .mpg files from home movies that I made using Corel Video Studio 12 and videos shot with my Sanyo HD2000. They play smoothly and sound was OK and in sync. The original videos from the camcorder were .mp4 and then edited and saved as AVCHD .mpg and also mpeg2 .mpg movies. The HDPro plays both types without problem. Which version firmware is your HDPro using? |

I think it is better to check if your samba server is running, you could try to open HD-Pro share folder by typing \\your_hd_pro_ip_address\ in your window explorer. If you see the folder of HD-Pro then samba is working. Hope this helps. appreciate ur replied Added on April 21, 2010, 3:52 pmAnyone with firmware dated 31/3/2010, do you have the "yougu" & "serach video" in your HDPro streaming option??

HDPro is an excellent player for its price. It has many good features but the problem is configuring them. The manual that come with the player is not very helpful as it does not go through the detail steps with illustration of how to configure the available features. Also some of the items mentioned are not reflective of the actual part e.g Remote Control buttons. As someone suggested earlier, Yangxi should set up a blog to provide a guide on "How to ......" with detail steps and pictures and downloads for all the updates and applications. I do hope that Yangxi take on this challenge to help his current and future customers.

Really appreciate your time and effort to help us out .Didn't realize that NET ID/Password are actually windows login username/password. This should be make clear in the manual.

Yangxi, I really suggest you link/sticky tracktion3's post in your other thread here as well when there are questions about BT and SAMBA
It had really helped me and I do understand the frustration of the buyers when they want to use BT. (But in Yangxi's defence, I really doubt other media player seller will provide BT/SAMBA support via the product official doc....) it is just that for whatever reason the firmware provided 'officially' by Yangxi only has ONE version that supports installing BT SAMBA. All others will fail. So please downgrade as per tracktion3's instruction, install BT/SAMBA and only then upgrade to the firmware that you want. Yangxi is right, do not upgrade the firmware if it is stable unless there is some new feature that you want in the newer firmware For example, I have a optical output from my HDPRO to my old Yamaha 6.1 amp (no HDMI on my amp) and I am using Yangxi's Mar 8 2010 firmware as it has everything I need which is DTS/Dolby Multichannel trackfor some files (I have to manually change the setup to use SPDIF RAW but it is a small problem) And then I will change back to SPDIF LPCM for my other files which only has stereo track.). Older versions had issues with SPDIF RAW. source: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry32360608 QUOTE(tracktion3 @ Mar 10 2010, 10:34 PM) I found the solution. This post has been edited by tigerporc: Apr 28 2010, 06:15 PM1. downgrade the firmware from here. http://www.datage.com.cn/download/YG_Jan_21_2010.rar 2. Install BT and SAMBA 3. Re install the new firmware from here. http://ul.to/3skn0k Enjoy! |

Received yesterday and tested during the night. I'm eager to test the wifi Net streaming ability but at first I'm having difficulties with the WEP authentication. Everytime I put the WEP security password my HDPro was unable to connect to the network. Then finally I removed the WEP security of my wifi and it work. I dunno why it cannot authenticate my wifi WEP.!!!
Ok my wifi is upstairs and my HDpro is downstairs. The signal strength I've got only at 50-60% but the streaming was flawless. I stream a mkv file with the size of 160MB for 54minutes video and here is the result. But then when I try to use the subtitle, the stream video lag very bad. I dunno why maybe the network speed becomes bad. Yet to test again since one of the main reason I buy HDpro is the ability to stream video from my computer to my TV. Later then I install my WD 200GB sata drive. Formatted using the internal format system. No problem at all. Copying from the wifi network is a bad idea. Better off with usb transfer. I've tried to transfer 1.3GB of files to the internal HD and it takes like forever. Will test more features later. |

QUOTE(slumberjer @ Apr 29 2010, 09:39 AM) Received yesterday and tested during the night. I'm eager to test the wifi Net streaming ability but at first I'm having difficulties with the WEP authentication. Everytime I put the WEP security password my HDPro was unable to connect to the network. Then finally I removed the WEP security of my wifi and it work. I dunno why it cannot authenticate my wifi WEP.!!! Did you plug your USB Wifi Dongle direct to the HDPro port?Ok my wifi is upstairs and my HDpro is downstairs. The signal strength I've got only at 50-60% but the streaming was flawless. I stream a mkv file with the size of 160MB for 54minutes video and here is the result. But then when I try to use the subtitle, the stream video lag very bad. I dunno why maybe the network speed becomes bad. Yet to test again since one of the main reason I buy HDpro is the ability to stream video from my computer to my TV. Later then I install my WD 200GB sata drive. Formatted using the internal format system. No problem at all. Copying from the wifi network is a bad idea. Better off with usb transfer. I've tried to transfer 1.3GB of files to the internal HD and it takes like forever. Will test more features later. Don't. Use the USB extension cable provided. This will help to improve the network speed. Let us know whether this help. |

Just received HDPro from Bro Yangxi, thanks for the efficient services.
I really enjoy the quality of video and sound connected to my home theatre system. However, I hv two major problems here, when I plug in USB DVD Drive, HDPro cannot detect the DVD Drive and I get response of "No Loader". I try with another USB DVD Drive also same problems. I downloaded lot of movies and backup in DVD discs. Help me... I checked my HDPro firmware is RY 31 Mac 2010. As for Xunlei, I can access the Xunlei menu but when I select certain movie to watch / download, nothing happen and HDPro response with "No CIB information". How to overcome this problems also. Update 6:24pm 2/5/2010 I hv found solution for DVD problems, actually my problems is everytime after I inserted disc into USB DVD drive. after playback I cannot eject the disc by pressing the eject button on USB DVD drive. Instead hv to use the eject button on HDPro remote control. As for the "No Loader" response, I figure it might be because the power cord not plug in firmly into USB DVD Drive. Now my problems is how to watch / download from Xunlei?? Anyone hv tested kindly share. This post has been edited by eriklee18: May 2 2010, 06:31 PM |

hmm Yangxi, wonder if can suggest a new feature for remote control, but i doubt can flash firmware for remote
:One of my dvd players remote has a useful button called Quick Review, which basically rewinded and playback 5 secs before. Just nice if you missed some line or some quick action very responsive, if u press 3x, it would go back 15 secs, very minimal lag. One of the most used buttons, for myself at least But since then, i notice not many players have that. Again, just a suggestion, dunno if do-able yes, i could just press Rewind, wait, then press Play, but that's a lot of extra clicking over a few years xD |

Anywhere, I'll try it out later tonight. Ok, this is what I did: 1. Go to Music folders, Select & Confirm those songs to create the playlist 2. Got to Misc setup and set music background to Playlist After which, each time when I Play the photos, the songs on the playlist will start automatically.

hi,
I just got my HDPro yesterday. Have been playing with it whole night. A questions: Does anyone manage to get it work with Windows 7 shared folder? I don't have problem with accessing shared folders on machines running on Windows 2003 or Windows XP from HDPro. Please share how you manage to work it out if you are able to do it on Windows 7. Thanks in advance. yangxi, after doing some research, the problem might be caused by the SMB protocol used in the current firmware. Will we be getting a new firmware that will fix this issue?

So everything when I update new firmware, I have to unscrew the box and detach the HDD, later screw back again after the update is done. It is rather troublesome la, is there any easier way to do it without unscrew+screw again? |

To check if your SSID (Service Set Identifier) is hidden or not, are you able to see your wifi ID from the HDPro network setup screen? If you can see your wifi ID the your problem is probably not the same as mine. Another way would be to check on the router's end if the SSID has been set to be "broadcast" or not. If it is set not to broadcast just enable it. Its also probably good to turn of your WEP/WPA security to test connectivity before turning it on again. Always re-enable your security after testing to protect yourself. Jason This post has been edited by jasonlky: May 28 2010, 12:58 AM |

Instead of buying a USB wifi, I bought another wifi router, connect my HDPro to it, setup bridging-mode use WPA2 to connect with host router.

Hi yangxi,
I've updated the latest firmware and saw so many online TV channels, but it seem like all of them always show "cannot play this" message, may I know how to make it work? Or we have to wait for next firmware upgrade? Appreciate your further information sharing, thanks in advance! |

I assume that your AVR does not have any HDMI inputs? Any suggestion ? In my case: HDPro -> HDMI -> HDTV for the video. HDPro -> Coaxial or Optical -> AVR for stereo, DD and DTS sound reproduction. HDPro audio settings -> SPDIF RAW/LPCM 2Ch Edited: Oops. Just checked that your AVR does have HDMI support. In that case: HDPro -> HDMI -> AVR (one of available input) AVR -> HDMI out (another HDMI cable) -> HDTV HDPro audio settings -> HDMI RAW/HDMI Multi-Ch Pls note that you need to switch your AVR on to use HDPro, similar to your BD and/or DVD players This post has been edited by PoorMan: Jun 18 2010, 07:07 PM |

Hi Yangxi,
Can you help me decide which one to choose: 1) HD Pro+ 2) HD Pro Mini 3) S9 I intend to use external HDD for the movies. All these 3 models can support external HDD without problem / lag? HDPro HDMI does not support real DTS right? I'm using a projector (no LCD TV..) with HDMI connected to a AVR. So I usually connect my player to AVR using HDMI. If I need to connect separate coaxial from HDPro to AVR for the DTS audio, that means I cannot use AVR for video output to my projector? What are the things that S9 and Mini are better than HDPro+? Any other brothers can advise too? |

yangxi,
Question regarding firmware upgrade. I've done the May FW upgrade. In the May FW update, it has a "package_MP" folder. So, for the Jun FW update, I notice there's no package_MP folder. Do I still retain the folder in the USB thumb drive and replace the "install.img" file with the Jun "install.img"? Do I also need to take out the hard disk before upgrading to Jun FW? |

I think Skylinestar has the answer. I can confirm that the HDPro is unable to decode AAC audio (can't use RAW). You'll need to re-encode your rips to AC-3 audio (ugh! Such a tedious process).If the coaxial thing ddnt work than i might need to plug in all my hdmi cables to the hdmi input at the avr ! Yangxi, can please check if AAC 6-ch audio can be processed by HDPro properly into Dolby Digital? |

I've upgraded firmware to Jun10 FW as well as the extension packages.
One problem: when BT and Samba turned on, HDPro will hang up while playing movies even though movie is from HDD1. Noticed that network was very busy! Turned off BT and Samba, and everything is working fine. BTW, I did not have any torrents running from HDPro. So, not very sure what was happening in the background. Question: Can I turn on Samba without turning on BT? |

Hardware issues.
You will have to reencode the file or convert it to eliminate (or limit the warp of) the GMC portion of the Mpeg Part 2 video stream. A quick wiki search describes the GMC emplementation as: QUOTE DivX has only one GMC "warp point" specified. This enables easier hardware implementation, but limits the global transform to panning operation only. Since panning can be described using blocks, this implementation rarely improves video quality. Xvid allows up to 3 warp points, and as a result, has less hardware support. The DivX player, however, does support 3-warp-point GMC, and thus will play GMC Xvid-encoded streams. |

But RM170 for an coaxial is a bit too expensive to try. Anyone have tried the RCA vs Coaxial? Not sure if RCA can still play DTS 5.1? |

for coaxial digital audio, you can use any 75Ω coaxial cable such as RG-6 cable used in astro, even the RCA cable, you do not need to buy RM170 cable

all RCA cables I have encountered are all in coaxial format, but for audio RCA its impedance may be in 50Ω
I have never seen audio RCA cable using cable in twisted pair fashion , it really not suitable |

But normally, RM5 RCA what you'll get is this:  Very seldom you'll see RCA with copper/silver braided like Coaxials. Here is an example of RCA Cables with shielding like those Coaxial cables have...but they are not cheapo stuff  In this case the braided wasn't even used as a shielding. Again you can see clearly the difference of the inner wires that sets RCA and Coaxial cables apart. Sorry...going off topic oledi..haha This post has been edited by azbro: Jul 5 2010, 05:46 PM |

I will try the normal coaxial RG6U(leftover from Astro). What RCA connector do you recommend? Is gold plated connector necessary? TQ Abt the connectors, No need to get RM30~40 connectors...just those RM6~8 should be OK.....most important is the cable diameter can go through the cables....no point buying fat cables that dun fit into the connector hole at the back. Most important is you need a soldering iron. Before you solder, make sure the Iron is at its optimum temperature. Also, use a sharp object to scratch the connector soldering area so it will stick better. To make both wire and connector to stick with the solder...both need to be hot. If you only heat the wires, than it become dry solder. And to be on the safe side, have some allowance on the cable length. Check the thread I gave to DIY a coaxial cable. |

I have Celine Dion concert with dual audio of TrueHD and stereo. The player can output stereo but no TrueHD. Unknown format shown. YES, if the new firmware can support external BDROM would be great. |

Hi Yangxi
Remember me ? I am the guy who bought another 2 docks + hdpros from you. My set's version is March. I followed your advise to update to May version, the menu screen became Chinese version, is that correct? Then I restore to default setting & instal the June version last night, so far only one movie ( Blue Plannet no sound, showing 0 kph), i am not sure this is movie or player's problem as my friend's may version can play it fine. Other movies seem ok. Besides that, just after installed may version when the player restart itself, the was message "bad disk eject" pop up, is that something wrong with the player? 1st time encountered !( by that time I didn't unplug the usb drive) Please clarify! My conlcusion, who are using version earlier than may, please update, the picture really improve very significantly. details , colours, shapeness etc appear so much difference, why I know? Because I compare with my friend's same movie. Anyway, do you still need the spoiled dock ( i found leakage inside ) return to you? |

Will be doing test with other sata hdd soon to see if the problem persist This post has been edited by zntrax81: Jul 16 2010, 08:21 PM |

need turn off adapter.
Using remote turn on, MCU might not enough power to supply. apois, when switch on adapter, does your player direct on ? or need press power button .

Hi there, Just some question from the user here before I decide on the unit.
How's the online radio channel fair from this device? Or even the internet TV channel, is there such a thing? I expect to use quite a bit on internet radio channel other than just streaming the multimedia files, thats why I ask. Besides, can the HD Pro function well WITHOUT a hardisk inside? I already have a network NAS in place. |

For normal low resolution TV shows, YouTube, PodCast, no problem streaming. For internet radio, also a lot, I like the Akado radio channels http://radio.akado.ru/ I particularly like the Smooth Jazz, The 80's, Love Pride, etc So far I have been playing every night for hours without major problem, once in a while will drop, but I suspect it's due to my network bridging and SlowMax problem.

Or we have to rely on firmware upgrade only ? I do agree that some radio channel do need constant stream of high speed broadband, unifi should do the trick very well. I am also waiting for that service to come to PJ. |

Just got my HdPro on friday and would like to know that if there's any problem with certain brand of harddisk?
I bought a new 3.5 1TB seagate barracuda for the player but till now still could not get it to work with the hdpro player. No harddisk issue when plug to my XP computer. On Hdpro, the player recognise the hard disk coz i can see the prompt "HDD plug-in" and also is available in hdpro format hardisk function but cannot see the files in harddisk. I tried all type of formating i.e. Quick format and full format from winXP. Also tried formating using HDpro but formating seems to stuck halfway. I also tried downgrade the firmware to april (still cannot) and upgrade again to oem june but all still don't work. Appreciate if someone could point out my mistake and what i did wrong? thanks. |

When playing the mp3 files or photos, noted that it loop back to replay from the start after the last file.
Does anyone know how to stop the looping function? |

Fast Seller ! Got a unit of HDPro+ superfast delivery (order today next day got it liao)
Tested some MKV files > 10GB size works perfectly. Also bought Wifi dongle, setting up is easy. Streaming large MKV files do face some lagging. Streaming normal 300 - 400mb RMVB files works fine. |

Aiyoh, wireless cannot stream those big Gs MKV files smoothly la try to use LAN line whenever possible, it's more stable & reliable |

Any shorcut, YangXi ? or are you referring to softsub embedded in the mkv? generally, the sub is set as default to display. if not, you can set it in program like mkvmergeGUI. |
