Mvix Wireless Hi-Definition Media Player (MX-760HD) - Page 20

Burnerbum;

Have you experienced video problems as I decribed in my previous post with your 760HD?

No i haven't. But i only use mine for DVD ISO files which it plays really good. The only problem i have is it sometimes doesn't shut down properly. I turn it off, the picture goes off but the unit doesn't shut off and i have to unplug it. This happens very infrequently, I wrote Mvix about it a couple of months ago and still waiting a response. They are the worst in service and firmware upgrades don't exist. Too bad because its really a nice unit. I'm pleased except for the occasional shutdown problem. I don't use it for music or photos so i can't comment on that part of it. I was going to buy the Lim but i've been reading the forum for the past few months and they have big problems too. I do have the PopCorn Hour on order. Due sometime in March. It really looks interesting and seems to have good support. It's really a shame these companies are allowed to sell products that don't work as advertised and get away with it.

Has anyone experienced video problems as I decribed in my previous post with your 760HD?

Burnerbum;

I've not had any problem shutting down my 760HD however it can take maybe 30 seconds before it will shut down.

At first I thought it would not shut down but I learned to just be more patient with my unit. Takes more time to shut down then I would like.

Except for the black screen problem I've been experiencing the 760HD has lived up to most of my expectations. One thing I would like to see it do, would be able to leave it plugged into a computer via USB and so then through software interface access the USB connected computer, I would not have to disconnect the USB cable to the computer all the time in order to play my media content as I do now.

thanx

Hi Robert,

If youe 760 & remote arrived clean & unscratched then I wouldn't bother returning it. It's really quite a good little unit - far cheaper than an HTPC and nice'n'quiet.

ISO DVD files generally play well when mastered correctly. I don't know what sort of encoding you're doing, but check the bit-rate and the MPEG-2/VOB streams you're encoding into your home DVDs - of the bitrate is too high then you may choke the 760HD (and most other players). For MPEG-2 DVD (720x480), a bitrate of around 4.0 - 5.5 is appropriate.

Another quick check is whether your home DVD's frame rate matches the 760HD's setup... if your TV/LCD supports both NTSC and PAL, then try switching the 760HD into NTSC (if currently in PAL) or PAL (if currently in NTSC) and then try playback again.

The black screen at the end of playback is a known issue

The black screen at the end of playback is a known issue with the current firmware. Generally pressing STOP, RETURN or POWER-OFF and the end of the movie will get you out of the blank screen the fastest. Like Burnerbum said - it usually takes 30 seconds or less.

Most cheap media players have their short-comings - the MVIX is no excpetion. It is, however, built on top of a really good hardware platform (the Sigma Designs chip inside is a real video power house), which means this: Hang on to your unit if you like it... because there are some of us who are looking to rewrite the firmware to take full advantage of that amazing hardware.

There is a known problem with DVI/HDMI output on the MVIX using firmware 1.1.27. Upgrade the firmware to 1.1.28 beta9. They made several improvements to digital output in that release.

http://forum.hardware.fr/hfr/VideoSo...t_99464_63.htm

after modification of header of the firmware 2.0.0 and 2.0.1 of mvix HD780 you can upgrade your mvix without problems.

but FTP and HTTP functions are not installed.
you can download modified files here

Anyone else lose 1080p as a display option after the latest firmware?

I ended up "downgrading" my firmware back to 1.1.27 (or whatever the number is) over the weekend because my 760 was just a crap-shoot whether or not it would display the video. The audio was still functioning, but we tried watching a movie 4 times and couldn't get it to work. The first couple times we would get to the menu and when I hit Play Movie, the video would drop out. This has happened in the past, but usually restarting it would work. I went back to the .27 firmware release and the movie played without a hitch. I also had my 1080P setup option back.
