Basically you are right. Veolo can turn your LCD TV into smart TV, which you can browse internet, streaming TV series from Le.TV, playing Android games and playing HD movies. One bug is Veolo still cannot play folder under BDMV and AC Ryan team still working on that. Hope this will answer your question.
Thanks.

Life is too short for me. I love to watch movies but can't spend too much hours in front of the idiot box.

Sometimes on PC, I watched movies with increased speed, say 1.5X to 1.7X so that I can finished the movie during lunch-time.

Does any media players has such feature?

You can FF at 1.5x, 2x, 4x, up to 16x (if i not mistaken). At 1.5x & 2x, there's still audio albeit, sounding like chipmunks

Guys, with the current influx of better quality mkvs file and many files also come with 5.1 or 7.1 TrueHD.
Our acryan is able to support pass through.
Pass through and become stereo. Is this the same case with other player?
I felt this is a big drawback of the player, cause recently I have got a 32gb of MI4, but it downmix the TrueHD to stereo.

it has to downmix to stereo for you to hear all the sound. in 5.1/7.1 audio, conversation/speech is in the center channel. if there's no downmix, you can only hear the front left and right channel sound in your stereo speaker/tv. you only hear the effects and background sound. is that what you want?

Bro, I actually connected the mini2 audio output via optical cable to my avr that can take on TrueHd, but seems like mini 2 is only able to downmix to stereo.
Very disappointed lor.

Due to bandwidth requirement, Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD MA can passthrough via HDMI cable.

If your avr has HDMI IN, you can passthrough all HD sound to avr.

i am using optical cable (red light type) to channel the audio to the avr.
you mean that to play trueHD only hdmi cable can carry the signal?
optical cable will not be able to?
please advice.

Correct. ONLY HMDI cable can carry Dobly TrueHD and DTS-HD MA to avr.

Thanks bro for the insight.

Great. How about the subtitle? Also available at above speed?

Which models?

Thanks

Subtitle can't display and no sound in fast mode.

waht is the current pice for ac ryan veolo?? i tot of buying on this coming pc fair at klcc..hope they sell it there!

Guess I have to stick to PC to watch at 1.5x speed. Although it sounds like Chipmunks, I can still watch the movie and read the subtitles.

Thks

I believe the RRP should be circa RM860+

Guys, i saw the AC Ryan forum , many of them complain about the product's buggy and the support don't really have good response enough, is that true ?

I'm planning to get one, not sure should go for A.C Ryan mini2 or Dune Smart H1, any recommendation ?

It really depends what you are prioritizing. For me, I have a mini2 (as well as an Asus o-play) at home, meant solely for watching videos and sometimes, audio playback. My web surfing needs are fulfilled via the notebook and desktop PC. If your needs are the same as mine, the Dune would be a better investment, assuming you do not need RMVB playback

guys..really noob question here..
can we this thing download movies using torrent?

TQ

Thanks Richard, seem like most of the hong kong drama series are in .rmvb format, my wife like to watch the HK drama...how's your mini2 performance compare to Asus o-play?

The GUI of the ACRyan is heaps better than the Asus O-Play! If asked to choose between the 2, I'd go with the former
