My problem is not just sharing files on a homegroup but now that I don't have smb my devices, Oppo UDP-203, Oled e6p and Yamaha TSR 7810 are not showing up in my homegroup network though all are connected to my router. I assume this is a Windows 10 issue and I do not know how to fix it. Any suggestions or tutorials?

There are DLNA servers for Mac. I'm out of date on what is most recommended. Both Twonky and J River Media Center are cross-platform.

When playing cd's i get audio dropouts but not when playing UHD or Blu-Ray discs. I have the Oppo hooked up by feeding the hdmi audio out to the Processor and the Video out to the Z9D. This to me seems like a issue directly related to the OPPO.

I've set the Oppo to send full Chroma 4:4:4 to my LG B6 OLED TV. The LG's hdmi input is set to the 'computer' icon, thus allowing for a full Chroma signal (and also disabling Truemotion completely, which is a blessing in disguise). This used to work fine, viewing pictures via Oppo and my DNLA server showed full color resolution and no problems. Recently I went back and looked at some of the test-patterns I made, and realized it has stopped working properly... The chroma test-pattern fails. I can't seem to find anything wrong with the TV settings. My only guess is that it stopped working after either a TV firmware upgrade or Oppo firmware upgrade.

Can aynone here with an LG OLED test if it works for them ? thnx

Below is an UHD resolution Test Pattern to use;

Open Control Panel (just start typing Control in the search box to find its shortcut quickly). Click Programs, and then click Turn Windows features on or off (under the Programs heading). check the check box for SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support, as shown here.

Try disconnecting the HDMI cable from the TV. The dropouts will cease.

Output is Custom/UHD Auto. HDR Auto. Color Space/Depth Auto. 24p Conversion off. De-Interlace Auto.

Switching to UHD 24 doesn't change the delay.

I'm checking with The Fifth Element HDR, Despicable Me 3 DV and the Masciola HDR patterns on a thumb drive. The delay is irregular with the HDR disc but consistent with the other sources.

I don't know about the oShare app oppo recommends for windows, but the minidlna server on linux needs extra configuration and plugins in order to do any transcoding (configuration and plugins I definitely did NOT turn on or install). As far as I know, using the minidlna server is identical to using smb or nfs, it just sends the unaltered files over the network. I use DLNA primarily because both my LG B6 and my Oppo speak DLNA, only the Oppo also speaks smb and nfs.

All those boxes are checked.

I am beginning to wonder if the problem is CEC. When I get some time I will turn CEC off.

This is a very minor beef. I appreciate the "Night Mode" on the Oppo MediaControl app - it saves me from searing my eyeballs every time I watch a movie

But:

1. Why does night mode reset on poweroff?!?

2. Perhaps Oppo could reconsider the all-white UI of that app and tone it down a fraction?

Compared to the other apps on my theatre iPad, the Oppo UI is positively incandescent. e.g Oppo vs Integra Remote

I have LG C7, Denon X7200wa and Oppo 203 and Shield going through today henDenin and my handshakes and almost immediate.

So every time i listen to CD's i should disconnect the TV output of the Oppo that doesn't seem like a viable solution.

This is a Sony HDMI issue. It was discussed in this thread a few months ago.

I have been on 0922 firmware and in last few days have been prompted to upgrade to 1127. It fails saying can not contact server. I did factory reset and same thing. I downloaded firmware to USB and ISO to a CD and all options fail. The USB and disc both try and then fail saying file is incorrect or corrupt. Tried factory resets several times. Emailed a Oppo support, but curious if anyone else has had this issue.

Update:

Decided to pull power and that did it, I guess something was hung up until power was remove as even factory reset did not help.

I’m in the same camp as Kluken - almost immediate using a Denon 4300H and the recommended settings Oppo for an LG display. Using Auto vs. UHD Custom doesn’t make a difference with the handshake time.

Hey all,

Is anyone else using a 203 to stream movies from a NAS device?

I have a Synology NAS with all of my Blu-Ray's ripped to it in MKV containers. Origial Video and Audio was kept in tact. All of this is connected via hardwired gigabit Ethernet.

I previously had a 105D and streaming worked perfectly. With the 203 I'm having 5-7 second pauses regularly while watching movies. Literally the only thing that changed was the player itself.

Any thoughts?

I use my 203 in the exact same way, no buffering at all, even with high bit rate 4k uhd files. Perhaps start swapping out your cat 5 / 6 cables as one of them in the path between the nas and player may be going flaky.

-using DLNA?
-using WIFI?

If you use DLNA with transcoding (nas) turn it off
If you use Wifi get a cable

Is you nas doing other stuff? Torrents, syncing

My nas streams 4k HDR to my 203 with only some buffering delay at the start of the file.
PS i use SMB no dlna

Hi everyone,

Just hooked up my 203 via Analogue outputs and I'm blown away at how much better the sound is when compared to letting my Cambridge Audio do the DAC part.


It's just a pity that CA is so poor with their feature development & support, as they do not allow dynamic input of HDMI signals, which means that I don't have a video signal when I want to listen to pure stereo music from the 203.

So now for yet another re-cabling exercise to separate the audio & video outputs so that I can see what I'm listening to... really starting to think of ditching the CXR200 and go back to NAD.

It's official. Waiting for Oppo update for DV compatibility with Sony A1E.

While playing CDs, please try
"ActionMenu --> PictureOff" on the Sony TV.

About 2 months ago, Bob Pariseau explained how extra HDMI handshakes caused CD audio dropouts. Audiofan1 reported PictureOff as a workaround.

(I don't listen to CDs on my Oppo, so I don't know whether this really works.)

Yes, Oppo is going to need an update for this. Just keep in mind that this is a case of a "spec" that is a moving target that Oppo (and Apple, for that matter) may not have been informed of in advance, so it will likely take some time to implement.

Should we feel confident/hopeful we will get the update from OPPO?

From Oppo ? Yes, they have already stated they are working on it.

Apple......who knows.

As a beta tester, I can't comment on anything Oppo hasn't made public. However, someone posted an email response a page or so back in this thread from Oppo indicating they would be adding support for the new DV profile, so I would be inclined to say yes. I believe the email that was posted also indicated a timeframe of April, so don't expect it real soon. I don't have any inside info on this, but my personal take is that Dolby had to have known that this was going to be an issue well ahead of Sony releasing their firmware update, so it feels like they dropped the ball on letting Oppo and other source device manufacturers (again, Apple comes to mind) know that they were going to need to implement another DV profile to work with Sony TV's and give them enough time to deliver something so we wouldn't end up in the situation we're in today with a bunch of people who are displeased with some combination of Dolby, Sony, Apple, Oppo, and so on.

Thank you.

^ I'm sure this will become known as the OPPO bug, rather than Sony and Dolby moving the goalposts.

-Bill

The Apple bug. OPPO is a niche player .

It would nice if someone would explain what happened. Ideally Dolby would suggest that they have a road map and Sony jumped the gun leaving OPPO, Apple, Google etc. in an awkward/impossible spot.

Instead of all this complaining, i think we have had enough, i would really like to know, at a high level, how this new profile works. What is this "extra" processing that the end devices have to do over what they do now? It would be very interesting to understand.

Thank you both for the insight these hdmi issues are so problematic across all devices they really need to streamline the standard for hdmi.
