Mede8er v4 FirmWare Update

[VonPickle]

Will be updating tonight, been looking forward to this for a while.

 

[Dolby]

This make me (almost) want to get a Mede8ter ....

Ran the update this morning. Looks prettier, feels faster, deals with mkv's with compressed headers. Bit miffed about the output option not being selectable and the some of the sound options. Will mess around some more tonight to properly form an opinion. Other users: post your feedback here please

 

[Dolby]

I know I asked before and probably didn't read the reply

But I'll ask again :

can one create an *.m3u playlist type thing to 'point' do different files at all?

Yes, yes you can , either directly on the player or through a playlist prog that supports relative network paths etc

Just finished upgrading. I had bootloader 23 and the update went through without issues. I've spent 5min messing with the Video Wall. It looks cool, but I'm going to have to download a lot of cover art. Will have to delve into YAMJ.

 

[McGuywer]

Yip.

The update makes the Mede8er a bit faster.
All looks well. It's nice that the sound is sorted.
Saw the search in Video Wall.

 

[VonPickle]

Updated without a hitch, direct from standard release firmware. The UI is much nicer to look at and seems more responsive.

Video Wall is nice, sluggish though.

 

[LazyLion]

Can someone tell me or point me to something to show me how to set up the video wall?

When I click on it, it tells me "to set up some shortcuts or something somewhere".

What do I have to do?

Aaah, great! Thanks man.

 

[SandManZA]

Upgrade was seamless.

MKV Compression Headers fixed - YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Much faster and more responsive

Can't wait to set up VideoWall - YAMJ here I come !!

THanks!

How about an m3u that points to movie files?

So - for example - thriller.m3u ... and within that, it points to the thriller movies only?

 

[Sheepbot]

Sigh, lucky sods...can't wait for AC Ryan to release their firmware!

Apparently it is possible, but I have personally not tried it. Will give it a bash over the wknd and let you know.

 

[RazedInBlack]

Cool! Must download fw soon.

For those of you wanting to generate folder and about art, I've been having better success with ThumbGen than with YAMJ.

 

[SandManZA]

YAMJ BETA 3 works fine for me - make sure you got the .NFO file (text file with imdb hyperlink) and Y2M will generate the artwork with no issues.

My problem has been more to do with stability. The app chugs away for a while and then just hangs. Using Win7 x64.
