MED1000X3D High Definition 3D Multimedia Player - Page 19

We ship with remote batteries but in the case of Air Freight to USA they have to be removed for safety reasons. We have all the safety certification but they will not easily accept this and it can cause some long delays on both sides so this is the situation.

I prefer the classic looks of a 600 over the 1000 – it makes rack-mounting it so much easier. However, a 600 may not work for me, so I am looking for confirmation of what I have gathered thus far:

 

- Reliable/stutter-free playback of 3D ISOs is only possible through an internal HDD.

- It is not possible through a) an USB2-attached HDD or b) over LAN.

 

- An internal HDD of a MED1000X3D can be accessed from another PC a) over Gigabit LAN or b) through its USB3 slave port.

- This happens at their nominal speeds for Gigabit LAN / USB3.

- No setting change in the X3 is needed for accessing the HDD during playback.

 

Is my understanding correct?

4-5 1 second hiccups is not "reliable/stutter free" playback for me if that is from a single viewing of one movie! I am spoiled with the Oppo 93 which has never hiccupped or stuttered on ANY of my 3D iso files, AND I do have quite a few of them! The issue of course is that they have to be from attached USB drives and I can not stream from my server. USB ports on the oppo are 2.0 and I have not had a problem...

+1 to everything you posted. I can have a small shelf with the roku appletv wd live and mede8r all in a row...

Oh, I thought you tested this already, but I guess it was canton and brajesh. But I recall them stating it works fine via usb 2.0 external HDD connected to the mede8er. This was the main reason for me picking up the 600X for 3D iso's playback.

Just did my first round of testing with med1000x3D,

As of now, the player did what is supposed to do... Play my BD ISO movies with no bugs.

I know it is basic stuff but that was something the Popcorn Hour A400 was not even able to do...

 

This would also not be acceptable for me. For 2D at least I am used to not having any stutters with my Dune.

 

Looks like I would need to go with an (internal) HDD,  i.e. MED1000X3D.

Blu-ray rips will commonly be 23.976.

However, standard definition PAL DVDs for instance are commonly 25fps. PAL DVD rips in avi format for instance are also commonly 25fps. I have many small clips that were encoded in 50fps. Many tv captures done in the UK are either 25 or 50 fps.

Really nice looking player, and great remote.

Yes, yes they do. I keep thinking I will get myself a charger and some batteries but I never do. Plus, I have so many remotes I'd need a ton of rechargeables. Cheaper to buy a large pack of alkalines at my nearest big lots or BJ's and they last quite a long time.

I've got about 30 AA and 50 AAA rechargeable batteries, and about 50 AA and AAA alkalines for the remote helicopters. You can't never have enough batteries lol. Specially with all of my kids toys.

Correct - We had 100% positive confirmation from Thrang who has a Synology and can now connect at 32768k

Mede8er1

V1.0.5 - 14Dec_BETA
Changelog
1) Added NFS options ----> Network ---> NFS Options
For Synology users select
Proto -- Auto or UDP
rsize -- 32768
Now Synology users can connect at the correct NFS 32k block size and stream FULL 3DBDISO
2) Fixed the My_Movies.xml that was interfering with Mede8er xml
3) Fixed the crashing with Sony HDR-TD10 MTS file
4) Fixed spelling on some city names Setup Menu ---> Time Zone


that is great news, do you guys sleep or you coding firmware with your eyes closed

Yes, I beta tested this, and several 3d iso files all played without stutter or audio drop to my Synology, so the foundation is looking quite good - once proper 23.976 play rate is added, the MyMovies full support (with Play function from the MyMovies ipad app), and if they might possibly address the seamless branching challenge, you'd have by far the most bullet proof media player I've seen.

mede8er also seems by far the most active developer interacting and addressing issues. Popcorn Hour tries, but the a400 is such an abysmal starting point, I doubt they will get things straight for a long time.

Interesting. I have a Sony camera with which I film in 1080p 60fps MTS. Hopefully all will work fine with my home videos. I ordered the 600 yesterday, can't wait to try it!

Yeah, it took me years to get to where I don't ever need to buy alkaline batteries again (AA & AAA at least). I just gradually accumulated them. Every birthday or Christmas, whenever someone asked me what I wanted, I would send them a link to some Sanyo Eneloops on Amazon. I've probably got well over 60 AA's and 30+ AAA's.

I did some more testing last night and found 2 thing I would like a solution :

1. When I hit a key on my Harmony 1100 remote the x3 process that command multiple time. Dont know what to do to resolve that. All my other harmony controled equipment work 100%

2. When I playback my ISO blu ray, I can perceived a little judder here and there. I supposed thats related to the 24fps vs 23.976. Is the new firmware coming soon ?

This is absolutely fantastic. Will be testing 3D ISO's via my Synology this weekend.

You can try this, haven't tried it myself...this was for the Micca 1185 player but it may still apply.

Do you think for 2D only BD's I should set up 32K NFS? It's probably overkill but I'm wondering if more is better applies...not sure if there's any negatives to doing so other than what I read about NFS in general in the Mede8er manual.

Ok, thanks. I'll start playing tomorrow...long week.

So, did a few tests via NFS 32K via my Synology 1812+, and I'm thrilled to report no stutters for 3D ISO's that stuttered via SMB. I haven't watched any movie all the way through yet, but tested the chapters that always stuttered for me via SMB: 'Titanic' (where Molly Brown character boards ship and onward), 'The Avengers' (final battle sequence), and 'Prometheus' (crashing into the alien ship). Had a minor audio blip as I was skipping around, but couldn't repeat that blip when I re-tried.

Great stuff! This is all thanks to the user in Mede8er forum who told Mede8er how to set-up the NFS/Synology mount script, and of course to Synology for making it real so quickly.
So far so good for me via SMB for 2D. Just finished watching 'The Dark Knight Rises' (full rip to MKV) all the way through.

Hopefully, a 3rd party Jukebox full implementation will be on the way soon. If this happens, I'm probably going to sell my Dune D1 and PCH-A210 for 2 Mede8ers. I don't really care much for 3D, but need a jukebox due to my kids.

Where in the USA is a good place to pick up the MED600X3D I will give it a go while checking for a jukebox solution if i have some extra funds left over after xmas.
