bought it last week. here are my 2 cents.

- it auto indexes all music or movie files. so, you cannot hide movies/music you dun wanna displayed.
- it automatically plays the movie when you browse the movie list, kind of slows down the scrolling
- when u plug in the thumbdrive, it only sees media files. i tried to copy .srt file over, but it doesnt see it.
- quality is OK
- it hangs n rebooted a few times while i was playing w/ it.
- i thought it runs samba on it, no, u cannot treat it as a file server. i thought it runs linux, that's the reason why i bought it. wondering how to get a copy of the firmware to look at it.

overall, i am a bit regret buying this. sigh... too new, not many reviews from others. nonetheless, i am enjoying watching movies on it.

where can i buy acer revoview in KL?
does it come together with usb wifi?

can i copy and paste files from my pc directly to this revoview, like a hdd on a network?

you can connect it to ur pc as an external hdd. but, you cannot copy over the network.

no usb wifi dongle. wanna buy over my unit?

apparently, alot buyers wanna dispose their units after using it......

Heh, a friend of mine actually gave his away after 1 week

what device i can drag and drop over network? lazy to bring the device around my hse...

You mean stream direct from NAS or your "main" PC? Plenty of choices out there, ACRyan, XStreamer, Dune.....just need to have network feature, kao tim

Hdpro much better than this

several things I dislike:
- remote control - can't display time lapse or left
- GUI
- no network copy

What are the suggestions for:
- samba/nfs server
- xbmc frontend
- linux based

Have you tried it out with the new firmware? Last I checked there was a ver1.00.04 release on 6th Oct 2010 and was wondering what changes have they made.

As for the other things:

I think the RV100 IS linux based because after checking out the firmware release (mentioned above) it uses the same update methods as in the Asus O!Play and the Seagate Freeagent Theatre. Unpacking the firmware update I can see yaffs2 being used as the flash operation and vmlinux.

So maybe there's hope in future for alternative firmwares .....

I think network copy was not implemented because this model was introduced to be paired with Win7 built-in feature "Play To Device" so there's no need to copy to the playback device, just right-click on file and choose play-to rv100 ... but I could be wrong

Anyways, if sell how much ?

how about the subtitle rendering?
does it have thin or thick black outline?
the font smooth or blocky?

subtitle is ok, no problem.

Added on October 15, 2010, 11:54 pmwill try to upgrade the fw.

i guess this prod isn't launched in US yet. Hopefully it will be soon, so that we can get more hackers to play with it.

I am just hoping for someone to come up with something that just uses XBMC instead of writing their own. XBMC is just so great. This acer's UI sux big time. But the price is cheap, so not too much complain.

I found the firmware download at the Acer (www.acer.com.my) website whilst I was updating the firmware on my laptop. Its under service & support -> Download Driver -> Desktop -> Aspire -> Revoview100 -> BIOS

Its a 30MB+ download ... hoping it changes some things and updates the features to make it more worthwhile cos the default firmware is under-utilising the Realtek chip

1920 × 1080 mkv is play fine with usb external hdd.

i didn't hv hdd inside, but i using a network share with my pc. can save money and transfer time ().

i just update to 1.00.04 fw but not c any different.

and also what u guys means not support divx? it is divx extension file or the codec?? cause divx codec and xvid codec is working fine.
maybe try change the extension into .avi

Hi,

Have anyone tried installing an internal HDD? I tried using the usb cable to connect it to my pc (windows xp and 7) and both OS won't recognise the HDD. The HDD is WD Caviar SE16. I use the same HDD and connect it via external usb external HDD and it works.

Any helps?

Thanks!

I connect it to my win 7 using the USB. You need to use the mini USB at the back not the USB ports at the side. It can detect my NTFS drive that I installed into the RV100.
