Yup i can. Try changing ur tv screen ratio

Just got my neo u1. Been testing around, so far so good. Just the default kodi was having some issues with super repo so I uninstalled and reinstalled the one from Google store. Srill, I am looking for a good source for Malaysia channels and Chinese drama . Any recommendations

How about you list your requirements or concerns about the M8S & others can reply if it's capable or not. Do be realistic..

I rarely use my android box so i cant really make a comment on it. Plus u can watch the review on youtube

Nah, I'm not interested in the box, so the opinion isn't for me.. Usually, I always refer to YouTube videos & blog reviews...

Tried the free trial but it doesnt work properly

Bluray menu is like playing a video, its not interactive eg cannot select menu options etc

Playing the iso movie outputs wrong resolution (extra large) even tho it states 1080p

3d iso doesnt output 3d image even tho tried sbs or updown.

I have aldy try that n still the same, is it due to the set problem.

Haven't used the software, but I remember others on a different forum commenting it works... Anyway;
*Sure the files are properly ripped & encoded? Try ripping yourself.
*The official KODI has an area in its settings to enable the Blu-ray menu vs a simplified menu. Tried that & even while playing, no access to the menu?

IMO, VidOn XBMC is still your best chance so tweak that. Could be a hardware incompatibility as well.

what device r u using?

sorry for you, you can get the new minix neo u1, to see how it works. HDMI 2.0 and 4K 60 fps are 2 big plus compared with the previous versions.

Post is from 2 years ago, the Neo U1 didn't exist then... . Also, for someone who doesn't have a 4K TV with HDMI 2.0 & has no intention of watching any H.265 or 4K content.. Those upgrades are irrelevant.. IMO, the only reason such a person gets the U1 over the X8-H Plus is future proofing. As in plans to buy a compatible 4K TV in the not too distant future, which if more than a year or 2, the Neo U1 should have a successor by then.

Not sure if proper rip but downloaded few iso 3d bluray with filesize up to 40gb to test


Using minix neo u1

this one?
http://www.minix.us/products/NEOXU1.html


what about 2d iso?

do u get hd audio, i.e. dtshdma or dd truehd?

the native player should be able to handle these bdmv/iso 30-50gb files.

no need other players like kodi or vlc.


and i think it is normal u dun get the full menu like disc on bd player, but u should get the menu for playlist, audio tracks, subs, audio settings, etc.

are u sure u did not miss some button that brings up some menu?

Well, depends on the encoding.. Most encoders don't include the menu as downloaders are far more concerned with pq, sound & subtitles. Also not all .iso or torrent files are truly full Blu-ray "dumps". For example, the full Blu-ray dump of "The Martian" is 45GB, has 658 files, files which includes the .m2ts, extras and menus. If not uploaded in a certain structure, the menu will fail to display.... Played with the appropriate player, all included features will be available. Tested on PC with PowerDVD Ultra.. Works..

P.S The forum has a thing against links to questionable content...

When playing 3d iso via most apps, can only play the 2d veraion by default. So i want to use menu to select 3d and thats the issue im facing.

The menus shown via vidon is basically a playback, i can see the timeframe moving and each menu is played one after another


I tried playing same iso on my old acryan, i get error that bd profile is not suitable for interactive menu. Maybe this is reasom why not working for minix

Oh I see.. Thought you were after the default Blu-ray menu that comes up as in a regular Blu-ray player... Showing scenes, chapters, extras, etc.. On switching between 2D & 3D mode, KODI has support but a limited on Android.



On the Neo X8-H Plus, I remember being able to play a 3D file using KODI & switching as above, can't remember if it was .iso or .mkv. Reviews by AVForums and CNXSoft confirm that the Neo U1 is indeed capable of 3D iso playback. So might want to check that file or video settings. Especially since the Neo X8-H Plus could do it.

i see.... it's about 3D iso...

i don't do 3d, so i won't know.



browsing a few articles, it seems this neo u1 does not highlight "3D" in its features.

u may want to check is there is a new firmware, check changelog to see if it can handle it.

also, it seems this model also does not pass thru hd audio.

I did try change kodi /vidon settings to various 3d formats eg sbs or ou....but doesnt work. It just makes the 2d playback more weird looking. Thats why i want to access bluray menu, maybe theres option to choose playback format between 2d vs 3d but this not work also. Some bluray discs have both 2d and 3d.

Yeah, it's not officially supported and thus not highlighted directly by Minix. As with the Neo X8-H Plus, 3D iso playback was introduced in a later firmware update.. Same with the U1.

IMO, I'm not fond of 3D tech. Here's what you should try, using "Makemkv", rip & encode just the 3D movie file.. Save as mkv & play. Makemkv software retains the exact pq in the file, zero modifications, so don't worry about losing or introducing artifacts.

ya, me too.

i went to the cinema a couple of times to watch 3D, came out uninterested.

never bothered since, i even avoided 3D capability on my tv hunt.



about the 3d iso files... i doubt u can do toggle with 2d like BD discs.

i have a ton of 2d iso/bdmv's - all play good with simple menu of playlist/audio tracks/subs - good enough.
