Updated mine with latest firmware capable of handling 3D. But no chance to test it so far.
Firmware (3D) release notes

Meaning, if i do the following, i can watch in 3D?
- 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

Ya, quite troublesome, even when search for bluray player also need to find one can support 3D-_-

The issue with real full 3D (not those red/blue or 2D to 3D) on 3DTV is achieved by 2xfull hd 1080p vids. So older HDMI ports/cables or chipset cannot transfer the data fast enough. like my himedia hd600a (1185) cannot play full 3d sbs mkv file. So I am quite happy to see popcorn might be able to support 3D.

thank you for the info, I will buy A210...

Hi bro,

So sorry to inform that, we do not support full-resolution 3D MKV, only half-resolution and only side-by-side and top-and-bottom 3D modes.

We can do HDMI 1.4 signaling to automatically switch to 3DTV to the correct 3D modes, such as, side-by-side, top-and-bottom. Currently we do not support frame sequential 3D. In order for this HDMI 1.4 signaling to work, the TV and any AVR connected need to support HDMI1.4 as well.

Did you come across any player in the market with web browsing feature?
For the moments the player unable to support web browsing. But don't worry from time to time Popcorn Hour will add the apps market like Facebook, Youtube, Twiter & so on.

The really simple guide:

Get YAMJ(obviously)

Download your preferred skin and place in the skin folder.
Aeon

Download mediainfo cli and place it in the mediainfo folder in yamj.

Set up your movie/series location using YAMJ GUI Config
This needs to be placed in yamj folder.

Here's a video tutorial to help you with that



user posted image

Click My_YAMJ.cmd.

It should generate jukebox folder and index.htm file

Navigate and click index.htm to access your jukebox.

Done

Here's how it should look like

To make it easier for you, here's a pre configured YAMJ with Aeon skin

http://www.mediafire.com/?sastyq3ub41y0qc

But you'll still have to configure the path for your movies folder

If you need to use other skin like Eversion, just place it in the skin folder and rename it to 'default'
There's another way where you can specify the name of the skin to be used
but I won't delve into that since renaming it to default is the easiest method.

Now, do you play your movies from network share or HDD attached to PCH?

Very nice movie jukebox. Well done brother.
