Questions:
1) How to create shortcut for my network drive in "shortcut"?
2) How to enable to display subtitle naming in "GB"..."BIG5"...."ENG"....etc?
3) with GOTO, it is very useful to search by time, but if can add filename title during GOTO, that's perfect

Thx for the info.
1) I will try for the network shortcut.
2) If srt can, that's would be very good


If you connect V10 to your PC, then you can map the drive:
i) Windows Explorer > Tools > Map Network Drive

ii) Choose a Letter for the HDD, for example I choose "X" drive, and "folder" key-in "\\venus\hdd"


iii) Then after you map the drive, you can check the disk space from your "My Computer" or Windows Explorer for your "X" drive.

Hope this will help you

lol... i don't wanna ON my PC everytime just to view to the available disk space. i do know that mapping a drive will show us the available shared disk space, but it will produce some problem. Do you know that once you've created a map drive, your PC will slow down during boot up as it will looks for the mapped drive first before booting up. If the mapped drive is unavailable the boot up time will increase even more!! that's why i never map a drive, all i did is just create a shortcut,

\\<V10 IP Address>\<the folder that i wanna share

** i remember that hdpro got an option to view the disk space, which V10 don't have. Hope it will be an add in for the new firmware.

Yeah, I know what you mean 'slow down pc', but sometime i just map it just for check the disc space then I disconnect it when no more use.
I guess you know what I mean. I almost every 2-3 days will transfer files from "download pc" to my V10, so I also use the \\venus\hdd only. Mapping drive use just for checking disc space.
hmm...if V10 build-in with this feature, that's would be wonderful.

oh, is HDPro+ got this feature (check disc space)?
I didn't notice it last time when I used it.

BTW, how you transfer files into your internal 3.5" HDD?
via USB ext drive? RJ45-Network? WIFI? USB-to-PC?

Hdpro got this function..

all files is transfer VIA network....
i purposely pull a long cat5 cable for it.

just push the latest beta.. but i dont find any thing special from it... it look the same

I also using CAT5 only with my 100Mbps router.
Currently my speed only transfer around 3MB/s, very slow if I transfer 8GB or 12GB.

Anyway, going to upgrade with Gigabit LAN soon, if using the same cable, am I still get the same transfer speed?
If can transfer 10MB/s or 20MB/s that would be very good for me.

shouldn't be a problem

provided ur router can support GLan

Yeah, thinking to get a Gigabit LAN router. Hopefully can increase my transfer file speed.

so, the latest firmware still cannot anything improved?
Well, do you have any problem when watch a movie (test play) and then stopped, and play it back again, when it ask you want to resume "OK" and "CANCEL"....i press "OK", it hanged....
and other situation also will hangs too.... I'm still using the stock firmware...I think is should be JUNE'11 firmware.

latest firmware and the 2nd latest beta so far is the same as from what i previewed here: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=45097394

for stock firmware i didn't face the problem as ur mention.

Added on September 21, 2011, 10:45 pmproblem found:

1. i've downloaded a 1080i mkv, watching it from PC no problem, but V10 seems don't encode it properly, as it will drag the color boxes around the tv screen..

2. some mkv file cannot fast forward!!

stock firmware can support?


please check codec?

if High 10@L5.0 can't support. and also Xvid.

how to check codec?

for the fast forward problem, i can do it using hdpro last time, but v10 can't. (same file) dunno why..
