Beta Firmware 1.09.44.06/09 released

After getting only 1 or 2 serious issues reported in the 1.09.41.06/09 firmware (failing DVD playback after x minutes and/or some issues with DVD menu) we analyzed some content and found the bug and could solve it which resulted in the release of 1.09.44.06. The user experience should be awesome now if it was not already ;-)

It’s the intention to release this version to the public through the official channel.

Release note for 1.09.44.06/09:

Fixing playback of DVD video causing the CFULLHDMA to crash/hang
Fixing some AVI files giving too few IFrames, causing the CFULLHDMA to hang
Fixing a bug causing no sound to have on HDMI when changing video output when playing music files

CFULLHDMA Beta firmware release 1.09.41

I was really disappointed to withdraw the firmware of yesterday due to some serious issues. Due to the special feature of using SRT files with the CH3SNAS the iMedia part stopped working. Damn..

After debugging we found the main reason and we can announce a new beta firmware and fixing some other issues as well:

  • Fixed iMedia hang (not working)
  • Fixed some avi files could not be played
  • Fixed MP3 with embedded picture
  • New: add NFS to support extern CD cover for audio files

Firmware file will be available for beta testers. They will be informed by mail

note: many ‘internet streams’ will work properly now! (like uitzendinggemist, sbs6 uitzending gemist etc..) some like: rtl4 uitzendinggemist are under debugging.
