QUOTE(lightning69 @ Dec 8 2011, 12:04 PM) 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... |

QUOTE(ccs221 @ Dec 9 2011, 12:04 AM) 900a/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... |

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Dec 24 2011, 04:38 PM) Anyone else having problem with the HiMedia 900A? Mine is dead after less than 2 weeks of light duty. Quite disappointed with it. Going back to my WDTV Live and I notice that the WDTV Live is still so much faster as compare to the 1186 realtek chipset. Navigating the menu on the old WDTV Live feels a lot faster although the processor is much slower. Hmmm...what is wrong with this 1186 chipset? Ane more thing is that the HIMedia could not playback many files for eg. the mov files from my Canon Dslr camera, ts files while they play flawlessly on the WDTV Live. but thought the video experiences is the most important for each chipset? bcos bigger video file size and required better processor to read the file efficiencent, otherwise the video experience will be bad due to the bottle neck... seem like u comparing iOS and Android as iOS have smoother user interface but not for Android... but still Android still the famous OS due to his compatibility on different handphone and software... anyway, i look on AC Ryan HD2 Mini (1185DD+) too... wondering is it worth to go for it if compare to Himedia 900A (1186DD+)...

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Jan 1 2012, 11:46 AM) What about canon Dlsr movie files. It still lags like hell. Still cannot playback .ts !!! All this playback smooth on my old WDTV LIVE. Tested all different type of TS file yet such as movie file?bcos i tried to play 1.5gb @ 6min and 40gb @ 120min,no issues on my Realtek 1055 chipset. But i got a problem on 1 TS file that imbalance volume on left and right speaker if the audio output as LPCM,updated firmware no improvement as well.at last i try change audio ouput as RAW and solved the problem. Anyway,each video file got it own video format,i tried to rip a VCD into AVI file with high compressed video format but my R1055 cant read it.later i change to other video format but still AVI file,no issues to play. What i means here that the canon camera or other devices have it own standard which doesnt compatible with realtek chipset. This post has been edited by gkl83: Jan 1 2012, 04:05 PM |

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Jan 2 2012, 08:48 AM) Yah..i know what you mean. This realtek 1186 chipset still very problematic now and until they fix most of the problem with driver updates, you are better of with more matured player. I hardly have any problem with my media files with my old media player and then I upgrade to 900A only to run into all these problems. So for those who are looking to upgrade, you might want to wait till the firmware improves. so you means go for those older 1185 chipset instead? bcos i worry is due to chipset issues but wasn't the firmware and also dilemma with you... anyway, did u do the upgrade firmware based on the website source i provided? any improvement with new firmware? |

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Jan 2 2012, 01:35 PM) I haven't try those updates yet because I am currently away from home. However those fixes listed did not address any of the problem I encounter. I believe its a firmware issue and not the chipset. It should get better but for now the 1185 should be better as most of the bugs have been iron out. perhaps try update 1st with latest as 1186 firmware may fine tuned which ur problems just a tiny issues for them to post out the improvement... but 1185 doesnt support 3D but i got 3D TV here... but seem a bit waist...  perhaps i still can run the 3D source on 1185? but i assign my 3D TV will do the regeneration of 3D sources for top-down or left-right... so is it possible? |

QUOTE(lightning69 @ Jan 3 2012, 10:29 AM) 1186 supports 3D BDMV, but you can still playback 3D contents using the 1185 and even the WDTV Live. Those SBS mkv can all be playback on most media player. My brother is using the WDTV Live for all his 3D SBS movies on his LG cinema 3D LED TV. Point is you don't need 1186 to enjoy 3D. Noted... so you recommended go for AC Ryan HD2 mini for better built quality? |

QUOTE(louyeh @ Jan 3 2012, 11:21 AM) Himedia 900b user here. The pros: 3D BDMV / ISO playback works for most if not all the time. If it doesnt work, its most probably due to wrong encoding and/or require firmware update. File copying made easy with USB slave port and also through direct SATA connection. Extremely easy to remove / install hard disk. Custom firmware has just started not long ago with YAMJ coming real soon, check Futeko forum. The cons: Had never been able to view the BD lite menu even with numerous settings. Certain audio decoding can have too much echo (so far encountered with MKV file with AAC audio), again it usually firmware issue (same video plays fine on PC). Menu GUI cannot compare with AC Ryan or WD TV; very simple and straight forward design. 1185 vs 1186 - For direct no nonsense 3D playback on TV, 1186 is better else gotta make sure video file is encoded with SBS 3D method for the 1185. tried with latest firmware to solve the audio echo issues? anyway, i dont mind about the GUI since i not "watching" the GUI... the movie experience is the most important such as picture quality, audio clarity and video lag-free..  |

QUOTE(numbertwo @ Jan 7 2012, 03:12 PM) pls do read some earlier posts... so your symptom may different case as lightning69 & ccs221 as both of them tested the mov with 900 bcos performance may different due to different chipset... This post has been edited by gkl83: Jan 7 2012, 03:42 PM |

QUOTE(otnuus @ Jan 10 2012, 12:03 AM) Just get HiMedia HD900A with the latest Firmware Version 1.0.2.16. How do I set the player to play files in its native format? I think my TV/receiver have a better upscaling than Realtek. Thanks. 900 can do upscaling to 1080? |

did anyone encounter the himedia 900A player stop playing video files at certain session?
the player will hang at certain session for 2-3 seconds, stop and quit to menu... it happened to some of my video files too, so doesn't seem like video file corrupted... but i never encounter such issues when using 1055 chipset... |

QUOTE(sschen @ Jun 8 2012, 10:45 AM) The firmware file is normally a compressed tar or rar file. You can't just rename it to install.img, you have to unpack/uncompress the downloaded file to extract the "install.img" file normally where you download? i tried to download from official himedia website but seem the speed are damm slow... i found the firmware at futeko website but may afraid is customized firmware which may corrupt my player |

QUOTE(g8dnitez @ Jun 13 2012, 10:00 AM) hi guys, I am thinking to buy 600A later but need to clarify with you guys before I buy : 1. Can it play bigger size MKV file? like 20-30gb 2. Can it access to my PC folder via wifi and stream from there? Any lag or delay issue encounter? 3. Can it play downloaded bluray movies? 4. I have plasma tv and home theatre system, how the connection like if put in 600A later? TV --> 600A, TV --> home theatre? Any 600A users here? please share your experience 1. even realtek 1055 also can support 40gb... but i using realtek 1186 now, no issues with 40gb but some of video files may cause the player hang and quit back to home screen 4. recommended to get proper AV receiver system as those can support DTS digital audio with better audio quality such as pioneer HTP-521... usually tho HTiB doesn't support DTS and you have to check ur user manual for the supported audio format... usually the common setup will be media player > AV Receiver > TV... bcos TV audio output never give good audio quality to audio system as i tried... |
