Guys, new HD900A user here.... want to ask is tht HiTV can use? coz every time i click in it show firmware update and then show update fail n return to menu..... why no sound when i play mkv movie with TrueHD audio format? I connect player with LED using HDMI cable....

Thanks

Got my 900A yesterday. I am very surprise how good this player is.

I manage to get DTS-HD and DolbyTrueHD working on my receiver. There is still bugs with multi-channel LPCM. I got 2 BDMV with multi-channel LPCM and both play but with continous poping sound on one of the surround speaker. then I stop the playback but then navigating the menu also got the poping sound.

Picture quality is just as good or better than my WDTV Live.

What Home menu is decent but navigating the movies,music etc is not as good. Its too complicated.

So far a very good player for the price. Haven't try out other features yet.

i got a realtek 1055 player even though i have 3D TV but dont have 3D contents...
worth to do any upgrade from 1055 to 1186 (HD900a) ?

You don't need 1186 to playback 3d on your TV. 1186 is for playback of 3D movies BDMV.

For SBS mkv, you can still playback with your 1055. When you playback SBS mkv, you will see 2 image sbs on your 3d tv and then just just enable sbs 3d on your tv and you can see the 3D.

u means the media player itself will able to do the conversion from 2D to 3D?
but i read around about 900, it require 3D TV along too if no remember wrong...

Normal media player can play sbs 3D mkv. No need to convert to 3D. The image will appear as 2 image sbs on the screen. It's the 3D tv that will conversion.

u try turn off the 24P setting, see still got poping sound or not...

Added on December 9, 2011, 12:10 am900a/b now for MKV with TrueHD audio can not downmix to 5.1 channel, output still 7.1 channel, so no sound.. (other format with TrueHD audio will be ok de), this bug himedia confirm will fix in next firmware de...

thought DTS 5.1 and 7.1 channel should be digital signalling and why downmix required?
unless downmix to stereo then is understandable as the differences of digital and analog...

What he is saying is that if you have mkv with dolbyTrue-HD audio stream but you do not have a receiver that supports it, then their will be no sound as the HiMedia cannot downmix it to stereo.

roughly what is the size of MKV with HD sound? be it true HD or DTS HDMA

I have Eagles Farewell 1 tour which is 2hr 45mins running time and the DTS-HD audio alone is 6GB. The whole mkv is 18GB.

Added on December 9, 2011, 6:35 pmI did try that but still the same so its firmware problem.

Just discover another firmware problem. Victoria Secret 2011 .ts file format cannot playback. It actually can play but the picture is completely mess up...audio is ok. Any fixed soon?

After using the HiMedia 900A for a week, I feel that the firmware need some work. There are a few types media it won't play proper like ts and mov files from my canon camera which play fine on my WDTV Live. So I guess I still can't sell of my WDTV Live as it still the best in term of format compatiblity.

1186 player still got many bug nid fix de (coz only launch 1 month+) , if no nid 3D, now choose 1185 player is more stable n better de

now got 1 beta firmware for hd900 player, maybe can test de:
http://bbs.himedia.com.au/index.php?topic=701.0

Hopefully the firmware will be better in times. I still prefer the 900A because of the 750mhz chipset.

Anyway, its still a great player. Just need more time to mature.

Can you let the HiMedia team know the bugs I reported like mov files taken from Canon Dslr shutter badly and ts file won't playback properly.
