Yes. The A-210 is aluminum casing.

What I meant was, do you sell only the casing?

could someone enlighten me why would one pays ~1.4k for a media jukebox instead of a fullspec HTPC like Dell's Zino?

Picta quality...is definately one of them biggrin.gif

Simplicity of the firmware, rather than installing power-hungry OS,...

I just noticed that the backup BDMV folder I played for "Into the blue" is able to display full BD menu in my A200! blush.gif

The recent firmware update (few days ago) also I dun notice improvement as my player is vely the stable 1... tongue.gif

Or could it be I'm lousy user? blush.gif

- Rename files
- Change HDMI cable to ver 1.4
- get 3D TV

I have yet to try it. So, i dare not confirm, plus, I prefer 2D hahaha

Mine is A-200 with GPU fan. (A-210 is with fanless aluminium casing)

For the latest price, you can ask TS. smile.gif

did you mean A210 also could support for 3D movie? how much is the cost?

Basically A-200 and A-210 is the same device... but appear in different casing only.

A-200 = plastic + GPU fan
A-210 = Alu case + Big heat sink(to avoid fan)

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 I'm so outdated already

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?

You are enjoying lots of technical stuffs smile.gif

Until now, still... hmmm I dun even have time to watch my movies.. haha

Salute! Sifu notworthy.gif

Hi bro,

Interesting player. Any major changes beside the above?

Major one should be the full flash interface, if not mistaken.
