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.

You have to set the video output resolution in the setup. Say you set it to 1080p, all videos will be output in 1080p regardless of its native resolution.
Tested with a couple of 720p files, all get upscale to 1080p.
I am sure many of us would prefer to have the option to output in native resolution and use external scalers for this.
Is there a way to get this done? Or we have to make a feature request?

I am using HD900A no wifi version. There is a coaxial output instead of the wifi connector. But I can't make it works. I doubt this is only a dummy interface.

I have similar reading. In fact, most of the time it only shows around 70k kbps.
You should have no problem streaming bluray mkv even in 100Mbps switch.
My problem is network streaming 3D BD ISO. Even with a Gigabit switch, the audio jerks, especially for files that is over 35GB. Audio is only good for few seconds after I pause/play the video before it jerks again.
I don't have problem with BD25 ISO. Audio is fine for 40GB+ 3D ISO when I connect external HDD to the USB port. One thing I am certain is the external HDD is definitely slower than the network HDD. I suspect this is due to the hardware limitation. Not sure if anyone else face this problem? Hope a firmware update can help. I have quite a number of BD ISO that I can't watch due to the audio decode jerking. .

Thanks for the info sschen.

One thing I noticed from the HiMedia Player is when I enabled auto play for BDMV folder structure, the player automatically play the first BDMV folder in that particular drive. Say I have few movies with BDMV structure in a single drive, I have to disabled auto play for BDMV, go into a particular movie folder, then go into setup and enabled the auto play. This is really troublesome! Is there a workaround for this?

Try set HDMI -> auto, the rest -> RAW.

Which model do you refer to?
I am using HD900A and set the audio output to RAW. No problem bitstream DTS HD track to receiver.
Realtek chipset going to be the weakest link in your setup...
