Official OPPO BDP-93 Owner's Thread - Page 150

Without knowing exact parameters of the encodes it's impossible to offer much. Suggest offering samples to Oppo to try out.

Could you provide a small sample file that demonstrates the problem?

No, putting a copy online somewhere does not compress or change the file. Google "free upload".

I have this exact same issue with my Synology DS210j and the BDP-93. Streaming MKV files worked great with the DS210j and BDP-83 but there seems to be an unresolved issue with the 93. The good news is that Oppo is now aware of the issue. I have provided them with an MKV file ripped via Handbrake. They have purchased a DS210j and have confirmed that there is an issue. They are currently trying to debug.

Is it just me, or does $89 seem quite pricey for this mod? I bought a similar kit for the 83 from another vendor for much less ... Perhaps this is just the premium for being first to market?

Is there any more information about Oppo adding external control to this device? Compatibility with something like tanNplay, so that you could use the streaming functionality without the external monitor on?

They're all full-length, movie-only (no menus), rips from DVD, so the smallest would be at least 1.5 GB if memory serves. I don't know how to chop off a small bit for testing. I'd be happy to if I could get some instructions.

Awesome! Thanks for posting. Would it help if I let them know I also have the issue?

$89 is reasonable, IMHO. I believe JVB Digital released the first BDP-83 mod and that sold for $89 plus $6.36 shipping to US. I bought it when it was first released. All the region-free mods for the BDP-83 that I was aware of came out to be between $80 and $100 for a DIY kit at the time they were released. JVB Digital still sells the BDP-83 mod for $88.84. The cheapest I've seen the kits are from the guy selling them on eBay Canada and I'm not sure if he makes them or is reselling a kit from elsewhere. It appears Bluraychip.dk will be the first to release the BDP-93 mod and $89 plus free shipping is fair asking price, IMO. Also, take into account that if you purchased a player that had already been modified the chances are that you'd pay more than an additional $89 for it.

You may be right, especially as the unit has just been released. I paid a lot less for a perfectly functional DIY kit for the BDP-83 but that was after they had been on the market for a while & there were a number of region free mod kits available.

Yes, I believe the more input they get, the better and the sooner it may be resolved.

Do you have transcoding on for the DLNA server and what version of the DSM is on your NAS?

Thanks for the lone response. LOL

My BD 390 no longer plays any discs, doesn't matter if it is standard or BD, rented or owned. The player is just non functional now.

Can anyone else chime in on the percentage of discs that have/haven't worked on the BDP93? Anybody's 2 cents is appreciated. Thanks

I must be one of those few who find it really bothersome to have a minimal lipsych delay, even after trying all kinds of HDMI input/output suggested here and from Oppo technical support, downloaded fw didn't resolve the issue either.

I don't have the time to do further testing and don't feel like sitting on the player for a couple of months and have been issued an RMA by the kind Oppo customer service. My pre-release 93 will be going back on Thu. (it would be tomorrow but we are getting dumped on tonight, +12" snowfall).

I hope to read in the near future that the current slight lipsynch audio delay will be fixed on both HDMIs.

Edit: of course no beta tester will advise me of pending FW upgrades, silly me for suggesting otherwise.

All the OPPO players have had good disc compatibility. I used to keep a rental count in the BDP-83 FAQ: How well does the player handle scratched and dirty Blu-ray discs?

I used to test a variety of burned DVD media, but recent players have supported all of them and I don't check that anymore.

td:
very good question. I have played many blu rays on my player. I think I had it freeze once during the movie but then it worked fine later. I dont think I ever had a blu ray not play that was not a player problem, but a disc problem. that happened once. it was a rental from netflix. the disc was stratched.

I had more success with the 93 then the 83 in some ways. the alien blu ray works fine (no zoomed in image when playing the special edition/directors cut version.) . avatar collectors edition loads up and star trek season 1 works. I had problems on the 83 with those titles.

in other news. been able to use the netflix pretty well. watched a season of a tv series on it. there were 23 episodes.

I just got the 93 about a week ago. I'm trying to hook it up via dual HDMI (video to TV and audio to receiver). My TV and receiver are not 3D compliant and are using HDMI version 1.3. I get video to my TV, but I'm not getting any audio to my receiver. TV is a Sony KDS-60A3000 and receiver is Onkyo TXSR-805. Is there a setting I'm overlooking?

I have had zero percent of shiny discs fail to play as they should. There are always BD-JAVA discs that cause headaches on some players, but I don't think that's what you were asking about.

Reverse the HDMI outputs on the player, does the problem change?

As per my edited post, of course no beta tester will advise me of pending FW releases, I would never ask for that, silly me for even implying it, I was just venting a lil and should have been a tad smarter not to.

Neuromancer, pls spare me the ($#%@!) newbie rethoric.

If you read carefully my post you'd see that the non published FW I downloaded from Oppo for Poineer AVRs failed to fix the minor but perceivable to me lipsynch I am experiencing.

Gman

I have tried to stream with Transcoding on and off. I am running DSM version 3.0 - 1354. Below is the most recent feedback from OPPO.

"Yes, we were able to download the file and but are experiencing issues with the Synology with 3.0 completely crashing the player with all MKV files. We are currently trying to diagnose this error as previously (with the same firmware and software on all devices) we were not experiencing this issue."

That's not good news. My return period is running out as well and the lipsync issues are driving me nuts.

BTW... I can stream these same MKV files through the BDP-93 using the Twonky Media Server on my PC. Also on a USB thumb drive through the USB on the front of the BDP-93.

Last night watching True Blood S1 on Blu-ray, I noticed lip sync issues.
Was really annoying for me... I still have 3 weeks of my return window left. If these things (among other bugs) aren't fixed by then, I'll sadly have to send my unit back.

I really hope Oppo pushes out a firmware update with a lot of fixes soon, before professional reviews start popping up. Could really hurt their business, and how many 93s they sell otherwise.



P.S. I love Oppo, and owned the 83 as well (didn't have a single problem with it). I have no doubt that they will fix all of these issues (if not most), but they really need to release a new firmware here shortly.

Are those with the lip sync issues making sure to try Source Direct, to see if that fixes it?

I got the Disney WOW test disc yesterday, with their audio sync test, I'm getting a 4 frame early (@24fps with 24p on in the player) result. For those with the disc, is this consistent with your setup?

I'm going from HDMI1 BDP-93 -> Denon AVR-988 -> PRO-101.

Source Direct seems to fix the lip syncing, but I also notice a decrease in quality.

Can you go in your receiver and adjust the lipsync? I did this last night on my Yamaha 863, go into the lipsync mode on your receiver, turn off the HDMI auto and set the Manual mode to about 225ms then try a bluray that should do it. I tried Bluray, DVD in all modes and worked perfect. Hope this works for you, the lipsync was making me crazy.
