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.

  • New: Audio Select functionality has changed in setup. You can select if certain audio (AC3, AAC, WMA PRo should be passed RAW or via PCM setting)
  • New: Offical Logo Shoutcast (partnership pending)
  • New: Youtube Support
  • New: Support DTS/AC3/WMA/AAC S/PDIF setting in the Setup menu (S/PDIF RAW or PCM)

  • Fixed: some mp3 files could not be played to the end

  • Fixed: 8bit BMP file caused the device to crash when using in Thumbnail mode
  • Changed: minimum volume set as -54dB. Max volume does not mess with quality anymore
  • Changed maximum volume as 0dB to fix some noise issues.

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.

CFULLHDMA: Beta release 1.15.03

New beta release for CFULLHDMA & CFULLHDMAi users

The no rocket science fix

v01.15.03
– Fixed an NTPClient issue (could cause a device no react when no network)
– Fixed wrong MP3 ID3 tag issue (no ID3 tag displayed for MP3 files)

As we are still busy with making fixes around the new SDK more bugfixes are not yet released.

Known issue for example is that some AC3 files still do not play well, this has been fixed in our new codec engine. But that one is not implemented yet. Also some issues could occur with M2TS files. H.264->ts->H.264 ==> it can occur that it does not play in this version.

Beta testers are informed about this new firmware version

New: Add Simple JPEG exif information for photo
New: Add hard drive and usb flash information when connected to the USB port
Fixed: HDMI auto-sync caused there is no sound through HDMI when playing some files.
Fixed: MPEG2 and TS video files cannot change audio track in new SDK.
Fixed: some DLNA failed items.

Fixed that system hangs when accessing all video on some NAS *UPnP*

Above release notes is for v1.14.04
This release is only available for beta testers. As we are using a new SDK many items have to be checked. So expect not everything to be running smootly, but your comments are welcome on the forum and trac page. That is why you are beta tester ;-)
