The above image showing the new user interface.
It acts as a media server, also plays files from your other media players.
Youtube application, works surprisingly well.
It also features a Web Browser(beta) with flash support.
Other online features flickr and firefly.
You could also manage files within the system and connected hard disks.
While navigation you get a preview of the video file on the left side of the screen.
Review:- 4.5 out of 5 stars
Pros:-
1. Plays all file types I know.
2. Network media feature is amazing.
3. Web Browser with flash support.
4. Startup time has certainly improved, also has a new feature called quick boot.
5. Package comes with a wifi dongle, but also occupies 1 out of 3 usb ports.
Cons:-
1. Remote looks good but can be hard to use.
2. Lack of android and ios remote app.
ok bro that was really a great work u have done here reviewing the product. :)
ReplyDeletenow few more question doubts i have pls see if u can help me get the answers :)
1. can the HDD inside (2.5 or 3.5 ??) upgraded in future ?
2. does it support other remotes like universal ones if i lose the oem one.
3. does this have a 5.1 out ?
4. Torrent support and how is its remote management ????
5. if i have a long list of folders and files can we jump to a new movie or find a particular one say starting with M easily ? say by clicking M in the keyboard?
1. No.
ReplyDelete2. Yes it's normal IR remote.
3. No just 2.0 digital out.
4. No torrent support, it works as network hard disk on your computer so u can copy or insert files.
5. No we cannot.
thanks for the answers :) thanks a lot. now more questions coming :P
ReplyDeleteisnt there any screws that we can open up and upgrade ? supposed to work with a 2TB one. do you have any idea is it a desktop /laptop hdd inside ?
i have seen a video in youtube one guy updating the firmware and it had a TORRENT option written just under that.
so now i am confused should i go for AC Ryan PlayOn HD or Mede8r or good old PBO CORE MEDIA PLAYER .. hmmm
Yes the unit can be dismantled easily, I don't know exactly but considering their previous products and size of the unit it's a desktop hard disk.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty sure it does not support torrents.
I do not know about other media players, but if torrent support and 5.1 audio out is that important to you, you could try dune blue ray players, they come with built in hard disk and remote app for iOS devices.
Thank you so much for the review...
ReplyDeleteJust one more ques...
