Even though this release is only for the M-6600 (or 6600+ version), the N1 update is soon to follow. The change list is long and at first glance, an impressive update including the ability to fully customize your startup page menu, APE support, native resolutions and more... For the DviCo models sold under the "+" chipset, the HD Audio bitstream of DTSHD and TrueHD should be included. Let's look at the list of changes that count for all players in the Realtek range sold by DviCo sooner or later.

Happily enough, now there is sound via HDMI to my Sony receiver. (5300ES)
Actually the sound works in both HDMI and SPDIF simoultaneously.

But it only works for analog sources, MP3 etc.
With movies with DD, DTS etc. I only get sparkling sound and a warning message about non supported format.

With SPDIF everything works fine again. Strange..

Still no full BD support - what caused me to get rid of all my TViX units BTW. :-(

Besides memory issues, Java needs to run on those machines supporting full BD playback. AFAIK this was NEVER advertised and won't ever happen on the actual 6x00 series.

hi....does anyone knows that mede8er medx500 plays hd audio??..

Hi-Jack
26-06-10, 06:08
All players have HD audio but if you mean dtshd and trued bit streaming, the answer is no. As with other brands, also meddler will switch ton using realtek + chipsets in future production and likely start supporting it... We have no official info concerning this...

Sjeeee still no cover art support for .png files...... how hard can it be. :s

The way I get around this, is by getting the .png file and then I 'edit movie information' and then 'select cover' find the .png file and bingo I get a borderless image (that get's changed to a .jpg file) but works.

None of my covers have that 'white' border on them.

Hope this helps you out.

Have loaded the new firmware, everything seems to be running fine. I have 2 questions - First - when will we be able to use other folder names other than movie, photo & music. I would love to have a separate folder for tv shows, at the moment I have to shove them in with the movie folder.

Second - Will we ever get to have the screen saver work while listening to music. I now some people have said they don't need that, but for people that listen via their tv it is useful so you don't get burn in on plasma and LCD screens.

other than that, DviCo keep up the good work.

HDX BD-1 does that as well.

I don't have any problems with 6500A. In fact, I am just steaming from my pc and listening to - Dire Straits Brothers In Arms 5.1 BLA (Blu-ray Lossless Audio) DTS-HD Master Audio.iso .

Still NO screen saver when playing audio files GRRRR - so plasma burn continues
Still does not play .DTS audio files - in fact cannot even "see" them
Does Kei or anyone else know if these two issues are being addressed? The screen saver implementation wopuld seem an easy one? / Jim

Still no per-folder list type either. And after 2.0.x some movies are crashing during play. Looks like Dvico isn't monitoring this board at all.

Hi. I have some DTS audio files but in .wav containers, if I rememer correctly.
(They work)

Maybe you should try to renamne them from .dts to as ex .wav ? Might work (in case the only problem is that the format .dts is unknown.)

For my 6500, I have been ripping DTS audio with Audiograbber (http://www.audiograbber.org/) to WAV for many years and they are seen by and played correctly on the device. Remember to set Audo level on TViX to 0 before attempting to play!

If your sources are DTS files, compile an Audio ISO and then mount it. You will then be able to do the rip. It is a very quick process.

Maybe this will work for you too?

Hi Rog10 and coolstream - thanks for your responses; as you say in a WAV container they play fine but i have heaps of them and converting will be tedious. my old 6500A played the .dts files perfectly - hopefully in the next f/w release

My 6500A also had screensaver when playing audio files using the TV as the interface. I so wish DVICO would implement this - everyday my new plasma suffers incremental burn. There's quite a few posts about this issue so anyone (Damocles?) in direct touch with DVICO I would very much appreciate if this could be escalated and treated as a priority / Thanks guys
