just got myself a HD600A from CCS221...
the remote is certainly a class above all the china brands remote that I've seen so far..comparable to my philips 5605's remote lol..

good to have a pool of users here to share our experience! enjoying my first movie now : Avatar.. ;0

Just to confirm, anyone else have problems with some vids in Youtube? Some or most unporpular vids will show "cannot play this file".

FYI

HD600A (Realtek 1185)

builtin Wifi 150Mbps RTL8188 (MiniPCI-E)
might crash with SATA controller , cause wifi unstable.

wait new SDK to fix it


for safe, suggest buy USB N dongle 300mbps (RTL8191SU)

I think what you are saying applys to all 1185 players with built-in wifi and not just HD600A. My past 3weeks experience with HD600A via wifi, there's no such problem surfacing yet for me. The only problem is the design which restricted the speed.

You must see in some customers point of view, those who wants build-in wifi is so they could have more free usb ports. Those who only use wifi once in a while won't really care if it's 150mbps or 300mbps.

Posting once about 8188 might "impress" ppl about what you know, but anything more is kinda irritating (at least for me). Think posting real experience on HD600 player itself will be more useful. Think most of us in this thread will be really happy if you can sure any personal info you have with HD600B

hihi....can anyone pls tell me how to burn mp3 on my laptop....to DVD-R (NOT CD-R)
and can be play on my car radio lol.....avanza 5 years ago=.=
i know im in the wrong topic...but i duno which 1 shud i go for lol...
ur help will be highly appreciated ^^

yes you are in wrong topic. try goggle "ahead nero". you should be able to find answer there. good luck^^

True. I dont actually use the internet via the media player. Cumbersome interface. Use ipad instead. That was why I asked before if there was any specific use for the wifi connection. Reason I got a media player is so that I dont have the use my laptop. So I wont be streaming videos through wifi.

Tried Youtube few times only. Seem ok but just to test. Didnt actually play with it. How you define unpopular vids?

Thanks for the info^^ Those vids that ppl rarely play seems to have problems. I tried random search like 555 most of the search result vids doesn't play, but will play on youtubexl. I'm wondering if it's my player problem or my isp or himedia problem. Youtube aren't that important to me, BUT maple stage is^^; it runs from youtube, so a lot of stuffs doesn't play >.<

I got the same message 'cannot play this file' in Youtube and several other online movie IMS.. i'm using standard fw., learning now how to upgrade the fm via usb soon!

Some IMS you get "cannot play this file", reason is China side blocks overseas connection^^;

Here're the steps for update firmware;

1. Copy install.img to a thumbdrive (some said best below 2GB, but I have no problem with 8GB ones)
2. Turn off the player.
3. Plug in the thumbdrive
4. Use a toothpick poke into the small hole beside the power supply port, you should feel a button within being pressed.
5. Turn on the player while keeping the toothpick poked in for like 5 secs.
6. When you see HiMedia Upgrading screen, you can let go the toothpick.
7. While the upgrade takes place, DO NOT turn off the player or touch the thumbdrive^^;
8. AFter it complete it'll restart, and you can take out the thumbdrive. Your player is now updated^^

Tks..lordsbm.
I would also like to find out where do you get the DIY fw? I presume this forum site is the official release.. (http://bbs.himedia-tech.cn/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=66&page=1)

I'll pm u the DIY FW link in a minute, but use it at ur own risk^^; cause some seller may charge you if anything goes wrong with your player for not using their firmware.

no worries, will do a due diligent b4 any action..

btw..since this player is internet enabled, how can we get the media player to display movie's poster, rating, or a short description from IMDB , like how XBMC does it..?

Any clue? or it has to be a product enhancement request ?

normally short description/rating I see only in some IMS like PPS.

lordsbm, u can run PPS at ur place using this model ?

PPS not working for HD600 yet >.< I saw the 1185 player brand you are carrying plays PPS right?

Pps blocked by TM or because of the player?

For HD600A case it's due to the player, but Malaysia ISP also blocked PPS. I know cos the m9 player I bought from zhen^wei can play PPS in Singapore but can't play in Malaysia. PPS is good to have, but nothing much on it. What I really wish they fix is youtube^^;

Can I also have the custom firmware? thanks!!

hi lordsbm, are u using NAS at home serve as a media server to pump movies to HD600a? If so, which NAS are u using? care to share some experience in setting up NAS-> HD600a , coz I'm in that route now trying to think which NAS to acquire (dlink 323/320, or Buffolor Duo Pro..) and their easiness to hook up to the 600a..
