Since there's no thread for V10 which is sold by Yangxi, this thread is being created to hear and discuss about V10 player. I had been a user of hdpro before swapping it with V10, hence here i will list the comparison between both of them


** I only used the player to play movies, so i will do the comparison base on my finding:

speed: V10 got a much faster respond time
interface: V10 only got 1 on/off button on the front panel, whereas HDpro can be play without a remote
remote distance: both V10 and HDpro got a very poor reception, I need to get near to them to control it compare to my TV.
playlist: no more movies playlist for V10.
remote control: V10 remote looks more professional compare to HDpro which is so jumble up.
USB slot: no more card slot(SD) on V10
time&date: HDpro got an option to enter time and date but no on V10
color adjustment: HDpro color setting can be done on setup, but not for V10 which can only be done during movies playback
HDD mounting: no more assemble and screwing of HDD to V10
bug: HDpro giving me a lot of issue, but not on V10 up to day, finger crossed!
LAN: V10 is on GigaLAN and HDpro on 100base


more comparison will be added in once it had been discovered/recalled

Did you update to the latest firmware on Yangxi's thread? Or u r still using the stock firmware?

referring to hdpro or v10?

V10 is stock firmware

HDpro i've updated to a few version

V10's stock firmware has audio issue with AVR when playing from non-DTS or non-Dolby movie file. Playing movie file like RMVB or from Internet streaming will output static noise only.

June 2011's firmware found on Yangxi's thread shall fix this issue.

the stock firmware on V10 is 8/6, should be the fixed 1..

so far i dont hear any static noise



HDPro also i heard the static once.. i needa restart it then it become normal..

The static noise doesn't affect mine though. Mine is plugged to AVR. But what i hate is that when i change movies there is this deep bass click sound when switching to a new episode or next movie in queue. Not even sure if its avr issue or v10 issue.

LAN: V10 is no GLAN and HDpro on 100base

*V10 have Giga Lan. (extra network controller).



time&date: HDpro got an option to enter time and date but no on V10

*because this chipset don't have record function , no builtin battery.



remote distance: both V10 and HDpro got a very poor reception, I need to get near to them to control it compare to my TV.

* how short ? i tested 2m ok, same with acryan,wdtv.
did u take out the front cover plastic ?


bug: HDpro giving me a lot of issue, but not on V10 up to day, finger crossed!

*Hdpro don't have any big problem. got issue with file copy (on new firmware 2011 march).

8/6 is the latest firmware for V10. The one I bought came with May 2011 firmware. Therefore, I encountered the no audio/static noise issues when connected to AVR.

---

Added on July 26, 2011, 6:17 pmI did not encounter such click noise. I think is not V10 issue. BTW, I'm using cheap coaxial cable.

This post has been edited by Cloud77: Jul 26 2011, 06:17 PM

typo error for GigaLAN

remote distant max i think is 2M, I am controlling more than 2M, no problem with my TV, IpTV, astro and other devices.. V10 i needa go nearer only can control..
** i didn't take out the plastic cover for all of my remote control to prevent dust.


regarding hdpro bug, file copy is 1 of the issue, file become 0kb suddenly is another issue, file copied turned out to be another file is another issue, it might be my HDD not compatible with HDpro, not sure about that, currently using the same HDD for V10, hope won't get this kinda output.

Added on July 26, 2011, 7:36 pmanyway i am still happy with the way HDpro perform since it's just an entertainment device although it sometimes makes my dl movies turned 0kb...

if it's a data storage i'll get screw up as i dump all my data over and everything gone.. LOL

Added on July 26, 2011, 7:40 pmanother problem found for V10 for LAN networking

i can't renamed V10 to the name i want as it will always named as "venus", i can rename HDpro to the name i like.

rename host name . u need turn off bt samba

V10 got option just for samba alone not like HDpro combine both

so i just on samba without BT

1 more update release next week

what's the changelog of this update? i found tat the BT inside V10 cannot download at all...

Must download it and try tonight.

---

Added on August 26, 2011, 8:59 amI'm sharing my experience after using the latest firmware.

There are some new options in Setup menu, under System, Video and Audio categories.

Subtitle settings now available in Setup menu. However, it seems not working with whatever changes I made. Using Subtitle button on remote ctrl while playing video file no longer able to change anything except subtitle language selection.

Wireless connection using USB dongle is no longer working with new firmware. Even after factory default reset, power off/on for both V10 and modem router, it just would not connect to Internet. It was working perfectly with older firmware.

I hope next week firmware release will fix these issues.

This post has been edited by Cloud77: Aug 26 2011, 08:59 AM

try this beta firmware

25/7/2011

plug in usb, press reset button (beside hdmiport) , turn on power and hold it 5 sec release.

Thanks a lot. I will try out this firmware.

Added on August 27, 2011, 9:36 amYangxi,

I have tried out your beta firmware. Indeed, it is a much better firmware. Subtitle function is working properly now. I was also able to connect to Internet using wireless USB dongle without any problem.

It seems there are improvement with streaming video from China links under Apps menu. Video streaming is more smooth and faster than before due to better buffering method implemented.

Thanks.

I recommend to all V10 users to use this beta firmware instead.

got customer report me stock firmware Upnp can't play, anyone test it ?

Thanks

Sorry. I don't use uPnP. Furthermore, I have no idea what can I do with uPnP.

taiko, i realised that my v10 back layout is different from the original picture... there's no reset?? so how?

opps, new batch dont have reset button.
u can go setup update and please do restore default.

oh, look like the output ports are different on new batch v10.

So do I need to install the beta version firmware?
Is this will fixed the freeze issue?

Did anyone tried on TrueHD / DTS MA 7.1 output?
I tested but my amp cannot support TrueHD so it automatically decode to DTS 5.1, is this right?

yangxi,

what is the password for the firmware?

Can I changed the subtitle filename that show up on subtitle selection?
It always show:
subtitle 1.srt
subtitle 2.srt
while my file name is xxx.GB.srt and xxx.ENG.srt.
Is that possible make it show GB / ENG instead of "1" and "2"?
If can, that would be perfect.


and...what is the password to unrar the firmware?
If I have HDD installed internal, will it format my HDD when I flash the firmware?

thanks...

i found out that the 5mins problem is not resolve on V10.. it's still same like wat happen to HDpro, some of the copied file will not copy completely all the detail, and will end on the last 5mins..

This only happen if i off the connection between HDpro/V10 and my PC..

if the connection remain on, so far i never face this problem..

hmm... so weird..

file become 0kb out of sudden never happen after i changed to V10, which it's s common problem in my case for HDpro...

Added on September 3, 2011, 5:47 pmyangxi,

i've copied the image file to the ROOT of my USB drive and V10 telling me that no latest update available.

and 1 more thing, 1 of my USB port spoil, i didn't realise it till i put in my thumbdrive just now and V10 cant detect anything from the port, another port is working, so now i only got 1 working USB port instead of 2

????

new firmware review:

able to customize screen saver timer and background image

more feature on sound setup.

no more BT setup which left only samba and samba security


Thing I dislike after the upgrade:

V10 now dont have any specific name, as for the old firmware it's named "venus" which cannot be renamed, after the upgrade I can only access to V10 using IP address.

fast forward/backward using left and right arrow key is not that user friendly...

old firmware, only a click of left/right arrow the screen will move forward/background directly, after the update. clicking left/right arrow won't do any good till i click on "OK" button, which is a bit troublesome or in another word "lebih"!!


hope to hear others users review after upgrade..

This post has been edited by ckboon: Sep 4 2011, 05:08 PM

Is this a common problem for V10? Any other person having this problem?

I face the same problem for Himedia 600A and was thinking of changing to V10. So now V10 also cannot passthrough DOLBY TRUE HD and DTS HD MA?

?
I tested yamaha, denon avr can passhtru Truehd, dtsma. no problem.

make sure use HDMI and output setting 1080p60 (no auto)

here's some screenshoot and review for 25/7/2011 V10 firmware


new boot up screen


Main Page still the same


System Setup page, I've named "Device Name" as V10, but my PC cannot find it.. I need to use IP to access the file.

This post has been edited by ckboon: Sep 5 2011, 09:07 PM

Screen Saver now can set Timing and picture to be shown


Audio Setup, added feature: Keytone, Surround Sound (Active), and Lip Sync


Network Setup page, BT option removed!


Other added System Setup option: Auto Standby <-- the most crap thing.. at first I thought i will standby if no active activity, and i set it to 30mins, i watch movies and in 30mins time pop-up a prompt asking for standby!!!

Autoplay by booting <-- haven't test it out


Try to search the movies using left/right arrow, look at left and middle time, left time is currently the video is played, and the middle 1 is the time when i pressed left/right arrow.. the video won't automatically moved and need user to pressed on "OK" button which is another "LEBIH" case for me.

This post has been edited by ckboon: Sep 5 2011, 09:08 PM

Now i can use goto to search the time using the number in remote ctrl, old firmware i can only use the arrow to search for the time. Good fix!



Pressing the number on the remote will display it on the screen which i dunno what's the use of it.

after the upgrade i feel that the response time are having a bit of delay compare to the stock.

This post has been edited by ckboon: Sep 5 2011, 09:09 PM

thanks ^^ this firmware not final release.


This post has been edited by yangxi: Sep 5 2011, 09:10 PM

and 1 more thing, play DVD Folder will skip some of the chapter/time, I need to play the chapter files inside the Folder to watch the whole movies, but by doing so I cant enable the subtitle.

u mean play from external dvd drive?

dvd folder (dvd video ?)

no no

copy VIDEO_TS folder to V10 HDD... click Play can play the whole movies..

can either select play, or go inside to folder..

hope u get what i mean.

I still not yet update firmware to beta version, is there any new firmware up coming?

not yet .. I still waiting ~..~

very sorry

oh...i still can wait too.. ...as long as do not stop develop


added on 12 Sept:
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

how to check the available disc space?

1.) in network shortcut. press remote "P-List" button.
2.) only mkv display multiple embedded subtitle. (seperate srt cannot).

3.) hope so

Added on September 19, 2011, 11:26 ami also can't find this.. (SDK different from old 1703 )



This post has been edited by yangxi: Sep 19 2011, 11:26 AM

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?

This post has been edited by sam240: Sep 21 2011, 12:21 AM

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!!

This post has been edited by ckboon: Sep 21 2011, 10:46 PM

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..

use this check
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

from the listed info, it's a High@L4.1, hence it shouldn't be any problem


Attached thumbnail(s)

and this is the file that i can't fast forward


Attached thumbnail(s)

i intend to buy it. how's the performance of this v10 compare with hdpro+ which i 'm quite satisfy?
from the comments here it seems the existing firmware is not stable yet and got some issue with certain file.

please advice, should i buy now or wait or buy the v8 instead?

ckboon,
did you try GOTO? Try pick any time for example 05m....then jump to 1hour...then 1h20m....etc.... make sure it can play.

From my experience, some of my *mkv file are corrupted (download and merge not completely...etc), when I test play with V10, I only can forward 1x...1.5x only.... 2x...4x...8x...16x all are not allow...while go to, also not allow me to use this function.... try check and see...i also curious what's the problem.

this is exactly what my problem

i cannot use goto and arrow key..

fast forward button can only run on 1.5x, the rest will hang the machine..

i think your file get bad convertion or corrupt.

What I do it, redownload again and test it.
It's work and running normal.

But recently, there are some mkv files make the V10 no response after start play it.
When press GOTO, fast forward, subtitle...all of these are really extreme slow response.
After first press, all the remote control button no response what ever button I press while the movie is running normal.....

what I try is...turn off the v10 (by pressing & hold the power button in-font of V10), after reboot....play back the same mkv file, still the same issue... anyone has this problem?
I believe my download mkv file are no corrupt because it run smoothly with my PC.
If file corrupt, when test run with PC, surely cannot run or hang.

any ideal what happen?

what is your current firmware version ?

V10 demo set play whole day in friend shop ... so far no problem.


try reflash stock firmware (use reset button method)

re-download didn't help in my case...

oh, i'm still using the stock firmware on it (June'11).
Not all the mkv files, just certain mkv file, dont know why.

BTW, blueray menu only can play for *.iso format?
My is not *.iso format.

oh, how about test play in PC, any lag or hang?

PC no problem!

will report this problem. "certain" mkv file... can test for me which version mkvmerge+ lib got this issue?


last time mp4 issue, realtek use 4month to fix >.<

This post has been edited by yangxi: Sep 25 2011, 07:34 PM

just now tried to copy the same again, and now can run fast forward and goto...

I got the same problem with CKBoon, some movies cant fast fwd and then hang. Use Goto also can't work.

Yangxi got it from u recently, not sure the firmware is updated. I also tried the old Avatar movie, the movie comes out in frame by frame , not smooth. I still find HD Pro better.

tell me your player firmware version.

and check for me video info
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

oh ya, i also got extended avatar which played smoothly on Hdpro, will test it out on V10 later.

my movie all rip by CHD,SILU,WOFEI. no problem.

just make a quick check on my TVB series just now and i got a SHOCK!

some of my files just gone in the air!!!

Hdpro will cause the file to become 0kb... but V10 just removed the files, seriously what's the cause of this? those files are readable and it had be watched before.. and it just GONE...

Hmmm.... luckily i got a backup in my PC


anyone having this kinda problem as me?

hmm, I have 2 type of Avatar:

mkv - Avatar.2009.Extended.Collectors.Edition.1080p.Blu-ray.DTS.x264-ViSTA --- running smooth on both HDPro+ and V10...no issue.

Bluray - Avatar.2009.Extended.Collection.Edition.Blu-Ray.AVC.DTS.DISC.1 -- test few times to run it, totally not smooth, frame by frame without audio ouput....and after few times "Rescan media files" with 3.5" HDD inside, then only can play. But the menu is slow pop up. Cannot see DTS-MA audio to choose, dont know why....and Bluray Menu still cannot play, I'm not sure is what format (java or etc...)
after read your msg here, I also worry my own "stock" since I do not have space to backup all my TVB.
Well, after i checked, and they are look good, can see the files size.
(no test play all of them with V10, just check via IP with PC)

Is 3.5" installed inside the player or ext USB hdd?
Are you use did you play them before and store until now become 0KB? very weird if this case....


This post has been edited by sam240: Sep 28 2011, 11:02 AM

3.5" in V10. 0kb happen to hdpro, and for V10 it's totally gone.

What I did is, copy the file from PC to V10, then play them from V10, it's playable for sure.

You update beta firmware before (got risk ~.~) . not sure which version cause it ??

alamak, the beta firmware cause my file gone missing...


should i revert back to stock?

New firmware (final .. but help me test it)

Date: 27/9/2011

http://goo.gl/u8M2Z



1. Copy install.img to the root directory of a USB flash drive and connect it to any USB host port of the
unit.
2. Press and hold on to the power button on the front panel of the unit.
3. Switch on the main power.
4. Release the power button when the firmware update starts flashing on your display in a moment and
will automatically reboot when update is completed.

**Do not power off the unit during the flashing process!**

I think YangXi told me before we flash to any new firmware, 3.5" HDD need to take out before flashing, did you take out?


YangXi, I need take out my 3.5" HDD before flash it, right?
Is not a BETA version, right?
