New TViX S1 Slim player introduced - Page 5

Hello,all

I'm new here so I'm sure if this the right place to post my question.

I'm new to media players, too.

I just got my new "TViX Slim S1" not Duo!
so far this item it's great, I wish I could buy the DUO Device sounds awsome!

Anyways,
So far I got it working with the latest Firmware available from the Dvico website. "2.0.8" I think

I ripped some movies as ".ISO" and cannot play them, I did couple of them.

It plays nicely the ".TS" Format do!

I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS2 to make my own
home movies, I use this to capture video from TV and cameras in umcompress ".AVI" Files, well?

TViX cannot play those ".AVI" files from Premiere Pro.

anybody knows how Can I fix this problem to make this unit Play ".AVI" Files from Premiere Pro and the ".ISO" Format.?

I really appreciate it
Thansk so much in advance

Freddy

Thanks alot Kei

I'll check it out.
I thought you bought this box as well, as I've seen your threads.

Thanks
Freddy

I was looking into updating my M6500 to the new Slim S1. One question I have though is coulld I connect the eSATA port on the new Slim S1 to a eSATA port muliplier similair to one like this?

Kei, thanks for the quick and honest reply. I am aware of the eSATA interface for the internal hard drive. Hopefully some other owners have tried the external interface with a port multiplier and are willing to share their experience. I am also aware that there are work arounds for what I would like to do. I love taking my M6500 to our summer home to watch movies but usually use the internal drive for all of my PVR recordings as most people know that ends up being a constant clean up of content after awhile. I have a 8TB media library and growing on my NAS at home and end up always copying a few good movies and music to an external drive to take with the M6500 back up to the summer home or when we travel but invariably there is always something somebody would have liked to listen too or watch that didn't get copied from the server at home. I wanted to build a compact and inexpensive 5GB mass storage device using a eSATA port multiplier to have a 2nd library for the summer home and I know there are other options to this but I was just very curious about this particular option. My M6500 seems to be losing its picture a lot lately during playback and having to be rebooted. I am starting to think it's time to upgrade before this unit fails completely. I was one of the first adopters of the 6500A when it first became available at the Digital Connection so it is aging. I have been very pleased with this product and with my whole library geared towards this unit, I would like to stay with their products.

I have an S1 and have been trying to hook up a Cambridge Dacmagic to it. Can the USB ports on the S1 stream sound out to a Dac? I am not getting it to. Look for some guidance?

I am having a problem with my unit playing in 2x mode. Sometimes it will start a movie OK, but then if I try to jump to a new chapter or use the resume feature it plays in fast forward (I think 2x, but it could be faster) and won't play normally. I can select different speeds forward and back, but when I try to go to play, it is always fast. I am on current firmware playing from the internal hard drive. Has anyone else seen this problem?

I have used Anydvd to create BR ISOs on my network server. The S1 has played these ISOs flawlessly until XMen-First Class. When I play this I get the commentary stream, not the base movie. This is a seamless branching BR and the first, longest stream is the commentary. this is the one the Tvix plays. Is there a way to choose a different stream or am I reduced to using additional software to strip out the desired stream and remux the disk

Thanks for any advice or tips.

I just posted this thread about a fast forward problem I am having with my HS Slim S1:

It sounds very similar to the issue that obts000 is having. Can anyone please help? My issue is with standard DVD rips to an MKV container.

OK, several of us have isolated the "fast play" problem. It occurs with MKV files whenever you skip ahead in the movie or resume play. Usually the movie will play normally if you stop and restart from the beginning. Otherwise, once you skip or resume, it is stuck in 2X or 4X speed and will not return to play. You can pause, back up, whatever, but whenever you go to play it continues at high speed. I have verified this behaviour on 4 different machines, so I believe it to be universal. I have the latest firmware installed.

Kei, any thoughts on how we get this corrected?

If I connect my USB 2.0 2TB drive direct to my S1 I can playback my Bluray rips with DTS MA with no issues. When I try and stream them over my network I get some studder issues. It this due to the 10/100 network connection on the S1 or something else in the mix?

I tried using a Dockstar as the NAS server and also my Laptop as the server and both seem to have the same studder issue.

If I use a USB hub and connect all my 2TB drives to the S1 can it be used as a NAS to share all the movies to my 6620N TviX box?
