i just bought dune hd max , was so excited bout it but my AVR died on me the same day as well :S...FML

Hey...what happen to the Dune guys?...Lets discuss the latest updates with all the goodies...youtube, facebook, Accuweather, etc...some even claim better audio with the analog outs!

Any update on new dune? Oppo gonna release 93 replacement in q3

New Dune with HDMI1.4?

With Cinavia creeping in, not sure how the new media players are going to fare. There is no talk from Dune about Cinavia.

Oppo's new player willl be cinavia compliant.

Cinavia is an issue. Not sure whether Dune will adhere to it.

Sigma's new 3D chipset mentions about improved DRM. Might need to hold on to our older Dunes and Oppo's for now. Realtek solution that is not AACs licensed might be the future for now unless something changes.

AFAIK, CMY still have the 'older' Oppo. For those who intend to buy, be fast.

No news from Dune.
Only latest news from Sigma Designs the new chipset SMP8672 provides the level of performance that OEMs need for building today’s 3D-enabled media devices and IPTV hybrid systems. Featuring a high performance CPU, deep L2 cache, and powerful 3D accelerator,will available on mid of July.

If u go into the product specs there is mention of drm. Dune would use this new chip set unless something changes.

Maybe Dune will embrace Cinavia officially and at the same time will relaese a "private 3rd party" patch to remove it, just like the region free patch.

the studios can't do anything to Dune as the patch is from "unofficial developer"

The region free patch

Hopefully, there is. A very panlai move

Hope Cinavia disease don't spread to media player.

I have a Dune HD Smart B1 and am running the latest firmware-

Can anyone tell me how (step by step) on how to easily import custom graphics to do a custom skin. I am wanting to do movie cover art and music cover art along with changing the background to a custom graphic. I am very good at designing my own custom graphics or altering others via Gimp Shop. I just need to know how to get them into the Dune to replace the factory GUI. I am reading all my movies and music off of a Toshiba 2TB drive. I have tried to make sense out of the Dune web support page talking about how to do this, but I am confused. Help!!!

try mpcclub.com, a lot of info for artwork and skin over there for many types of NMT.

These are what I do:

goto http://www.tvixie.com/ and download the software.

Start Tvixie and choose Dune as Option and right click to get movie info; must use exact movie name.
Once done i.e. you have obtain couple of those, goto program files\tvixie\ templates\movie directory and you'll find the jpg files there.
jpg files could be replace with your customised file here at "1920x1080 resolution"

To display a jpg file on your screen, you may customised dune_folder e.g.
from .folder.aai to folder.jpg or .tvix.aai to tvix.jpg etc. and the screen will show jpg instead of aai file.
You may even customised how many rows / columns to show on the screen
e.g. to show photo thumbnails on screen, you must change dune.folder to show jpg instead of aai.

using notepad to edit dune_folder file:
icon_path=folder.jpg (default will be .folder.aai)
icon_valign=center
use_icon_view=yes
background_path=tvix.jpg (default will be .tvix.aai)
paint_scrollbar=no
paint_icon_selection_box=no
paint_icons=no
paint_content_box_background=no
num_cols=1
num_rows=1

another configuration for dune_folder:
icon_path = .Icon.aai
icon_valign = center
use_icon_view = yes
num_cols = 6
num_rows = 2
icon_top = 15
icon_bottom = 0
caption_font_size = small
text_bottom = 0

aai file is the culprit but there is a tool to convert aai file to png and then to jpg but I'll leave it to your own discovery.
