i think 600b has a wireless defect and the heats problem.. maybe u should look for the 600c.

doesn't this look like a nature of all china made players? firmware has no quality control... it gives you love and hate depending on which firmware you are running it on.. So, it is not just Himedia, look at otherws egreat eaget whatever, firmware is always the one causing issues.

I have never failed to see the subtitle (mostly .srt) in my 600A.

Perhaps, try to post the file name of your .mkv and .srt here?

maybe for our reference, can you tell us how 'old' is your WD HDD? And which model is that? Is that the green EARS/EARX ? or something else?

But then, the USB interfce in 600A is only 2.0, does it worth the extras to get the USB3.0 Sata enclosure?

Dlink NAS enclosure RM99??? how many bay?

a True NAS , or just USB multi-disk array enclusure?

Himedia A and B series is always differenciate by B being able to host a HDD internally.. Other specs are the same except the USB2.0 in 600A and USB3.0 in B. But mind you, himedia forum has many post about the heat generated in 600B..so pls read more to decide whether u r ok with this 'design defect'.

Well..technically so long as your ext HDD USB3.0 has backward 2.0 compatibility it should work.. I have buffalo 3.0 500GB hooked to 600A, no issue.

since 600A confirms can play those .iso file, it is a waste of money just for that extra Mhz IMO.

firmware release from Himedia for 600 series is getting slower and slower.. I hope they are not abandoning this series and diver their attention into 900x now... If it is the case, I would have to think twice before I get my second m.player from this Co.

but we are talking about a model that has been released not more than a year ago...

yes, much bugs are still left and you can read them from himedia forum.

I don't care much about watching those crap online movie...I didn't purchase this media player to stream those 480p (even if they call it high definition) movies.. So, I'm cracking my head becoz Himedia seems like spending more effort in bringout their Hitv 2.0 than to concentrate on providing a better and more solid firmware..

errr...here goes.
- searching by dragging the timeframe will / might hang the player, this happens on and off.. I cannot find what the symptons is.
- network unable to locate my external HDD linked to my laptop thru workgroup. I have to enter specific IP to link it up.. This happens only after upgrading to the current version of .17 i think.. I couldn't even get any clue from himedia forum, neither do they understand my problem.
- most frustrating is the subtitle.. was it pgs or sub that isn't supported?? I have forgotten totally and has since stopped waiting for himedia to fix, i have to find .srt to get the subtitle displayed properly for each of my mkv.

And of course i was hoping more enhancements to be done on the himedia..but i guess that won't happen in the coming months so leave them..

Hi,
i'm using cable cat5e... and my case applies to only when I do a time-search using the left-right button during the playback...

bro, are you streaming move from your Buffalo Link Status Quad?? I am happy to find a Buff Quad user here..as I'm tempted to get this NAS as well, just do not know how it performs by linking Himedia to this NAS via cat5e.. Do share your experience !

ccs221, not sub, but 'sup' build-in subtitle in some mkvs.

that's a wild dream....

is good to have a dream mahcyen.. haha..


Anyway, guys, anyone of you did this to enable moviesheet in your 600A? Please refer : http://www.hdpfans.com/thread-33826-1-1.html

This is one feature that I'm dying hard to find out how to get it work... Without moviesheet, it is darn difficult to remember what the movie is about within a sea of movies in my HDD>..

Hopefully some techie here could help find out whether it is easy to do ? :

In Chinese :
1.用Wenl大大推荐的工具thunmgen，生成电视墙所需的图片和movie information。详见http://www.hdpfans.com/thread-2887-1-3.html

3.用telnet功能安装到高清机的/usr/local/etc目录下，安装好路径为/usr/local/etc/srjg， chmod 777 *获得所有权限
4.使用命令生成电视墙rss文件。命令为 sh /usr/local/etc/srjg /jukebox_update.sh -i -p /tmp/usbmounts/sda1/mybt -f sample,trail
5. 参数i 为第一次初始 p 为电影目录（已经有jukebox素材） f 为过滤字符，过滤pt下载中的sample影片
6.执行完毕后在电影目录中会有一个jukebox.rss文件
7.修改/usr/local/etc/scripts/menu.rss加入jukebox.rss。不同高清机方式可能不同。 我是用menu.rss中的自定义二级rss指向jukebox.rss

<item>^M
<title>Jukebox Movie</title>^M
<link>rss_file:///usr/local/etc/srjg/MainJukebox.rss</link>^M
<media:thumbnail url="image/usb.png" width="120" height="90" />^M
</item> ^M

8.打开高清机的在线应用，打开jukebox。rss就看到电视墙了。选好影片可以看影片介绍和rate，再按ok就可以直接播放。
