CFULLHDMA beta firmware 1.16.07

Quickly after releasing a public 1.16.06 firmware we do release a new beta 1.16.07

Not too much was changed only some small bugs

  • Fixed: extreme lipsync issue on some MKV files with DTS
  • Fixed: error 301 playing next file when streaming Youtube Videos
  • Fixed: AC3 -> OGG vorbis loading freeze issue
  • Fixed: DVD fast Forward would not continue under high speed iframe mode for some DVD files

notice: changing your language settings for GUI will also change the presets for Youtube (Selecting Dutch for instance will show you the most viewed videos for holland etc.. )

Available for beta testers

Server Message: RSS feed fixed

Chris mentioned to me in e-mail that my rss feed was broken. As long time evangelist for RSS feeds some years ago I did not look into rss for a long time. My feed is running through feedburner and I was thinking all was ok.

An update I made on the blog last week caused some empty spaces in a configuration file. This caused the feed to be invalid (a empty line as first line).

If you read this through your RSS feed reader it means the feed is up running again. Sorry for the delay. It’s possible that you will see some advertisements in the feed. It’s an experiment to see if this weblog can earn some money through feeds.

CFULLHDMA: Official release 1.16.06

Prepping a new official internet release for CFULLHDMA & CFULLHDMAi (already available through the Internet upgrade function in the device).

A lot of beta testers have given feedback the last few weeks and we have added many new functions to give the device more usability as well as we have fixed numerious bugs.

CFULLHDMA: 1.16.05

Because the function is kewl:

v01.16.05
Fix Shoutcast issue (error 301 solved)
Improve the performance for Youtube
New: Support DTS/AC3/WMA/AAC S/PDIF setting in the Setup menu (S/PDIF RAW or PCM)

Music (OGG/FLAC Audio) is selected automatically for PCM

Released to beta-testers

Update: I got some good feedback today where some beta testers report that they cannot alter any setting in the Audio Menu and have as a result of this no output to their amplifier anymore. This kind of feedback is very very welcome !

Update 2: it’s confirmed that in some circumstances the audio options are greyed out. This is fixed in a next firmware release. A workaround for now is to reset the device to factory defaults.
