phew, good to see that antivirus is not the only one to work on the IAMM. It is a good piece of hardware but the software badly needs to be improved.

Thanks to you and antivirus for your work and effort,

Michael

Phew, glad to see that antivirus now has some support. It is a shame that the manufacturer appear to be either incapable or unwilling to support their own product. So the work you and antivirus spend on the device is all the more welcome and appreciated.

Regards,

Michael

I,m also a reasonably new owner of an IAMM. Would love to be to gain control over this thing too, if I could be of any help... unfortunately my Linux sucks..

Would love to be able to transfer files from my main PC which run XP64 on home network. NDAS doesn't support X64 .

PS the 1080i output from this thing is superb on my TECO 40 inch ..

Am an ex Kiss DP558 user.

Greetings to all !

I am happy to see that the thread I started is gathering more and more fans!
Phew, Antivirus, good to know you're working together.

I will be preparing some background images for you and will send them to you for inclusion in your new firmware.

Good luck in your experimentation with the code!

I bought this media player and I'm using it with great satisfaction, I love the possibility to play files directly from my PC using the wireless connection.
I have some problems with my external HDD (it's a Packard Bell 2.5" without external power supply) : it's recognized and I'm able to browse the files stored in but if I try to play them the Iamm remains in loading status and it freezes. I contacted Novatron and they suggested to format the HDD in NTFS but I have to try yet. I hope it will work

Good luck! I don't see why FAT32 should not be working (you don't mention it but I assume it's FAT32 for what size? 80GB?) perhaps NTFS read-only that the IAMM supports has better results. What did you try to play? ISO file? VOBs and Video_TS? .avi?

Let us know...

It's a 120GB in FAT32, Novatron support wrote me that it's better using NTFS for HDDs greater than 32GB... I tried divx, xvid, dvd iso and mp3. The same files are ok using internal HDD or Network.

This is the email Novatron support sent me :

Dear Sir

Thanks for your e-mail.

Could you check the below things with your external HDD.

* If your HDD is over 32GB, we recommend NTFS file system.
Please check the HDD is formatted NTFS.

* To be used with NTD36HD, the HDD should be a primary partition.
Please check the HDD has a primary partition.

* Please check the file that can be played with NTD36HD.

After checking this, please let me know if you still have some problems.

Best regards,

NOVATRON CO., LTD.

FAT32 only supports single files up to 2GB, so the full DVD ISO is not supported--you can't write it on the HDD itself! The VIDEO_TS folder is still OK since each VOB is 1GB.

Try NTFS and let us know. I have formatted my drive (internal) with NTFS. Does your external appear as HDD2 or you select the USB icon?

Internal drive is formatted with NTFS so no problems, the external HDD appears as USB. ASAP I'll be able to move files on my external HDD I will try to format it with NTFS... cross the fingers

I have formatted my external HDD with NTFS and now it works fine Now I'm trying NDAS but it's slow, a copy function from external USB devices to internal HDD would be great in a next firmware release.

NDAS is software-based and IS SLOW by default. But for a media player, I don't think why the manufacturer would put a copy function (from volume to volume) since it's not really in the framework of a media player's operation (although handy, I agree with you).

PLUS! You're forgetting that NTFS capability seems "read-only", except for the NDAS module (which is not Novatron's software). I don't know if the internal linux-based system loads a driver for WRITE capability on NTFS...

Phew, Antivirus, you've analysed the firmware--is there a full "read-write" driver you can load in the IAMM when mounting the HDD (internal or external)?

Well done, guys. Just make sure you let us know in detailed steps what to do ;-)

Should I prepare the two menu backgrounds for you? What size do you want them? The green ones were just a test, I have this same background from my iMac (MacOS X) in a great resolution!

Has anyone used a DVD as an external device on the IAMM?

If so whats the quality, does it upgrade the image and which ext DVD player is recommended?

I read it on the forum that wi-fi can be activated on sarotech DVP-570HD by using a router like linksys. I would highly appreciate if you could guide me how to use the router fr activating hifi on 570HD.
Thanks

I found another iusse: my Iamm NTD36HD seems not able to play packet beatstream files by wireless network connection (I have to use MPEG4 Modifier to unpack them) while using internal HD or external USB devices it plays them without problems

Can you give an example of "packet beatstream files"? What do you mean? Is it the way the video/audio is interleaved on an AVI file?

It's an option of the Xvid codec : http://www.gromkov.com/faq/conversion/xvid_options.html

LordByron, especially for the media players, I never go beyond the basic settings of the XviD compressor, just because I want to remain compliant with all devices (except bitrate, quality, forced I-frame setting etc.)

In the past, some players like my old TViX M-3000U did not play quarter-pixel encoded files, I've learned not to tamper too much with stuff that I wish to give to friends and to play on non-computer systems....

antivirus, thank you for your work!

2. You mean: Jukebox list can contain up to media 200 files, right?

3. I do not know SAA format, but SSA format for subtitles (SubStation Alpha) is it SSA?

4. You mean that in an AVI file there is only ONE audio track, but it contains one language on LEFT channel and a second language on RIGHT channel, like television, correct?

5. Did you keep the same image? Did you include a larger resolution image?

THANKS AGAIN!

Wait a minute! I just checked the Novatron firmware page!

You actually created the official firmware? That's good news, well done!

Still, was I correct in what I wrote before? SSA subs? 2-language dual-mono audio track? 200 selections in the Jukebox list?

What did you use as background? I hope you haven't used the same JPEG file in Photoshop and saved it back--the compression would be twice as bad!

I don't think so, or did i get that wrong :-)

Nevertheless, THANKS, i am bidding for one on ebay now as it seems to have a livespan longer than the manufacturer if we can patch the firmware by ourselves...

Nils
