check the forum as well, as the best support you can get nowadays is in the official forum.

bin mir nicht sicher, ich empfehle aber jetzt eher den meta<browser/> der ist besser. leider weiss ich auch nicht obs den für mac gibt

is there any sample of yours that u can provide which doesn't play?

you can stream videos wirelessly from your PC to your Xtreamer without problems up to 720p

i'm afraid that both xtreamer and e-trayz are not capable of the WOL feature. so you cannot wake them up :|

Sorry to hear you got those troubles with the shipment. I am sure you can work this out with the sales team, even if it will be a refund. Another thing you can be sure about is that all this is not a scam. We are way passed this thoughts. What European site did you use? Maybe u didnt order at an official partner site?

hi msuri, yes i would assume so. and i want to go for the Samsung 0084C. these should run well with USB power only. retail/original DVDs and AudioCDs are now supported with AutoStart function :)

Hi Noli, the fastest way to transfer files to the internal HDD would of course be to connect the Xtreamer directly to the PC via the included USB Mini->A cable. If you just transfer some small to middle sized files, you can use the normal Samba protocol. Since I've upgraded to a Gigabit-Switch I have a speed of 8.3MB/s from Xtreamer to PC and about 6.3MB/s from PC to Xtreamer. FTP is slower than that on the Xtreamer. Tested with v2.0.1 ... and I would really recommend to set it up wired, as wireless will never be fast enough.

hey intrax, sorry for late reply and another sorry for my silly post over at the "serial console thread". i think u know which one i mean^^

i have known the admins to be very open and supportive when it comes to modifications to the xtreamer, may it be hard- or software wise. in fact, when we were talking about the "HACK" and mod threads in the forum party chat, the admin said he is very interested in that thread and want's to give us all support we need as soon as firmware 2 gets stable, whatever that means for us.

version 2 is coming in a few days and i think the best place to discuss software mods is still the official forum and many topics are already discussed there. i'll happily follow your serial console thread too coz it's very interesting. i remember in the past i did this kind of modification to my old nokia phone via serial cable to com1 port etc... :) best regards, mavvy

Hi keefnet, for now I can only tell that this is known in the forum and it seems that a lot of people have trouble with Youtube audio via optical cable. I used to have sound when I still was using optical audio but that was back when I had fw 1.0.1 on my device. Currently I use HDMI into my AVR incl. audio so I can't really test at the moment. So I can't even tell if it's a general problem or only occurs on specific audio equipment. I should find the time this week to test it on my system and update here.

hi again keefnet. i didnt have to think long about blowing air in our out. i chose the - in my eyes - more effective way: to blow air directly _onto_ the heatsink to cool it down. you're right, since the case is open anyway, there's no chance to avoid dust coming in, no matter in what direction the fan is blowing. and while blowing air in, there is a stronger airflow inside to cool the other parts. my household has no kids (yet) and my gf won't touch the fan accidentally i think... even if she did, it wouldn't hurt, i already tried it lol. nevertheless, i have also thought about some finger protection... if you find the link to that Maplin guard, please let me know. I am looking for some guard which has the shape like the cover of a shoe box which u can just put over the scythe and fix it with screws on the sides... the scythe already has 6 holes for screws on the sides, that would make it perfect.

i have a usb cable (mini usb <-> usb a) and a composite cable (cinch, audio/video), does the cable from the power plug count? :) no hdmi cable

I don't own a NDAS but IIRC currently there's no official support for NDAS but as the system will be opened to us later when the firmware is stable, we might be able to get the necessary files installed on the Xtreamer to hook up a NDAS. Isn't this already very old system? Xtreamer will release a NAS soon, might be a better choice :)

Iguess u wanted movies indexed into WDTV's "Media Library" from more than 2 USB disks. I've always wanted that but could not get it to work, it only indexed the files from 1 disk in USB1 and from 1 disk in USB2, even if I connected them via USB hub it only randomly indexed from 1 of the disks connected to the hub, the other disk was ignored. I could only use the other drives when browsing to them using the "Folder view".

Now the Xtreamer: it does not have an index feature at all, means, no "Media Library" which indexes files. The feature called "Media Library" in Xtreamer is comparable to WDTV's folder view, you can browse to each drive and start files from there, of course you can access all hard disks which are connected through the hub. But yeah... no damn indexing feature yet :(

hi keefnet, i just tested again this single file, since playback of BD rips in ISO format is not supported yet (will come with the new SDK which should be the base in fw v1.0.4 but then again we have to see if it plays BD rips with all the menus and extra stuff or if you can just browse down to the m2ts files).

Currently with 1.0.2, I cannot switch or even display subtitles yet but I can switch audio tracks on the fly. Skipping chapters behaves like in fw 1.0.1 with DVD ISOs. So BD support in the Xtreamer is currently only basic, like on WDTV. So we have to create .srt files for now...

best would be to ask the admins in the chat and give them your order number. they can check directly for you when they are in the chat. 3 weeks ago, i suppose you are in 2nd or 3rd batch so expect it from end of august till mid of september.

hi, i haven't tested the upnp feature of the fritzbox with the xtreamer yet but will give it a try and update my review. if i remember correctly, i have read someone posting that the xtreamer does not find the upnp stream of the fritzbox but never say never :)

hi and thx :) i just managed to empty my 2.5" hdd this week. took so long coz it was full of important stuff and i had nowhere to back it up. so i had to buy another 3.5" lol... but to come back to topic: i haven't tried the 2.5" hdd internally yet but i will find the time these days and update it in my review.

i used tversity just to serve my media files on my normal pc to the xtreamer over wired network: 1. installed tversity on pc, 2. adding my videos/music into the tversity library, 3. browing these files on the xtreamer via upnp

some ugly bug in upnp: the filesize displays 0 byte sometimes but i had no real big problems yet playing video and music. i guess this will be fixed in the future coz they are currently improving network issues.
