The easier way is still installing it into USB device.
For NTFS formatted HDD you required to create new logical ext3 partition with at-least 2GB size.

I just did a clean install for it, haven't tried with HDD
If you wanna install on hdd and have csi/ipkg on the same drive , check this thread

Well bro, you are so expert. Thanks for the infor. I'll try it when got time. Look like not easy and worry to do that.
Anyway you try it before?

I don't think it's that difficult
Basically you just need to make ex3 partition(for Csi/ipkg) and NTFS for your data.
Like I said I haven't tried it with HDD since I'm too lazy to format my existing hdd
Which is why I prefer USB device.
Be sure to follow the instructions for 200 series and not the 100 series.
Here's a wiki page with more detailed instruction and pics

Have you tried installing any app from NMT Community Software Installer?

Thank you so much, sifu for the above links.
Would it be formated my HDD? How about I would like to retain my contents? I just want to install NMT with my contents together.
For the NMT I heard it before but never try yet.

Obviously you're gonna need to backup those media files first if you want to create partition for both ext3 and ntfs since it basically formats your hdd.

I got almost 1TB of contents, left only a few GBs.

And that's why I prefer installing NMT apps on a USB drive
Easiest solution for you

If the is the case then I may follow what you recomend but at the same time am oso looking for more solutions. Actually may be I can re-partition my HDD but need to find out more. Thanks anyway.

How about this method?

You should be able to install NMT apps without formatting it

I got the popcorn A210 to replace my not-so-good xtreamer few weeks ago.

After a week of usage, I'm pretty satisfy the A210 performance, although the first one get faulty but quickly replaced with a new unit from the supplier.

Overall, the features and performance of A210 is pretty much better than xtreamer. of course it is not fair to compare it with xtreamer as the A210 price is 75% more expensive, but at least popcorn is able to delivery it, unlike xtreamer, telling you they have the features but couldn't deliver it or having problem to deliver.

The popcorn has the following features which I think are much better than xtreamer
1. YAMJ jukebox support
2. Bluray interactive menu support
3. High bitrate Full HD BDISO and BDMV playback via 100Mbps wired network
4. Beautiful GUI
5. MKV simple menu support
6. MKV PGS subtitles support

YAMJ with eversion flash skin



YAMJ movie detail



Bluray Interactive Menu



MKV simple menu



Media Info Overlay

Yeah, a little expensive but definitely worth money.
Not to mention community support.
I just thought the navigation with eversion skin was a little bit sluggish though
I mean even scrolling thru movies NMJ was a lot faster than that
Then again eversion displays each movie info once highlighted

So far I'm still sticking with Aeon skin for YAMJ
NMJ still a lot of room for improvement

How exactly was it streaming BDISO files? Any stuttering?

Nice, long time ago, was using AEON skin... so cool. Long time ago. I'm so outdated already

Hi,

Thank you so much for your verdict. It's our pressure to serve you better.
You received the wireless dongle together?

Cheers.

How much is the popcorn c-200?

U got PM.
Sorry about that may be I miss out.

Thank you anyway.

The eversion is bit sluggish, I might change to AEON skin.

The BDISO playback is perfect, no stuttering at all. For Full HD movies playback via network, pause and resume during movie are instantaneous. In xtreamer case, once you pause, the sound keep going to play for at least 3 seconds, and when resume playing, it will like fast forward to catch up the sound.


Yeah, I got the wireless dongle already. thx

hi TS, do your company have shop at kl?
tq

We are Sole Distributor. May be in future we'll plan for a shop in KL

You could also try SabishGT skin, it's basically a pimped up version of Aeon
With other features borrowed from other skins
Also comes with an optional index page, looks nice
