for  external usb dvd drive.

if you got a internal DVD drive, just buy an usb enclosure box from computer shop, usually the box can accommodate either SATA or PATA(IDE) dvd drive

??
only MKV can embedded subtitle.

should be avi+srt

press subtitle-button on remote to select the subtitle during playback off the movie .

during playback press subtitle button.  can select subtitle?
AVI embedded subtitle might not support.  if avi+Srt , can

sorry, still no support since SDK V1 -> V4   

Hdpro supports .SUB/.IDX files for subtitles, some subtitle files that are bundled with Divx or Xvid vidoes may be incompatible. Specifically, AVI files that are bundled with .SUB and .IDX files for the subtitles. A recommended solution to use them with Hdpro is to convert the .SUB to an .SRT file.

old batch still can update latest march firmware.  I tested ok.

don't know why some customer got problem. weird .
FYI, Realtek 1073DD+ chipset already stopped production ...  soon replace new 1185.

yes, can up/downgrade

but new march firmware don't have 3rd party china online channel.

I am the guy called you last nite from Kuching, my rmvb is similar to others.
My fren HDPRO+ got IO error and cannot played rmvb file (mp4/mkv no problem, with same hdd)
My HDPRO+ Mini can played most of the rmvb files but go following problem with recent rmvb files. The error is that it can play for a while then suddenly screen go blank and i thought i played nitendo without display as i heard supermario theme song. Then it will either (i) restart (ii) continue to play with no display but got sound.
The same rmvb file is playing ok if using preview at browser stage (well, size too small)
I also got Diyomate K3+ from Yangxi and the same rmvb file played with no problem. So suspect may be the firmware issue.
Anyway, i attached the video info
