BetaTesters

Due to a bug in my betatest subscribe plugin installed tonight I am not able to validate any new subscriber. All e-mail addresses are marked bad. And due to changes in the script it does not allow me to downgrade.

So I have to wait for the developer of the nice (it’s worked perfectly before) plugin ..

Important for all CFULLHDMA beta testers

CFULLHDMA beta testers have to register themselves again for beta-testing (and be able to download beta firmware versions) at the CFULLHDMA PAGE. If you did not receive any e-mail this morning from me your e-mail address was lost totally. Only a limited amount of people could be informed.

The new way of subscribing yourself for beta testing gives you more control with what e-mail address you want to subscribe or if necessary unsubscribe yourself without my interaction.

Upcoming fixes Beta firmware CFULLHDMA

Conceptronic CFULLHDMA beta release version number: 1.09.49.06

  • It fixes an issue causing the CFULLHDMA to crash when a user is using DVD Shrink to rip a DVD and where an audio track was removed
  • In previous version in NFS mode the MKV trick mode was not working
  • In previous version some M2TS/MKV could not be played correctly (loading icon appeared), 
  • In previous version when editing the iMedia URL from PC it could crash

After upgrading and reboot, please turn off (remove power-cord) and turn on (insert power-cord) again.

Beta testers will be informed when this version is available. If you are not beta-tester you can apply but you will only get an e-mail when I offer a new beta firmware version. So the current beta version will not be send to you.

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.
