[ArturZ]

מה מחכה לנו בגירסא הבא
[left]New featu! res mostly implemented which will become available in the next
f/w versions after the current one:

1. DVB-T support via USB DVB-T dongle.
- Support for SD and HD (up to FullHD) media content, including H.264
video codec.
- Autoscan for available frequencies / channels.
- Provide the list of channels to the user, allow to start playback of
any channel.
- Allow to switch between channels during playback (as for IPTV /
multicast UDP streams).
- Recording: record the media stream during playback (as for for IPTV
/ multicast UDP streams).
- Potential future extensions: EPG browsing, EPG+DVR, time-shifting, etc.

2. Own solution for working with user's media collections: Dune Media Library.
- The key thing is that each movie is accompanied with not just
pregenerated pictures, but also with well-structured formal
description, which is automatically indexed and used by the player.
- Based on the database of such descriptions, the player automatically
provides user interface for browsing the! Media Library, including
flexible navigation/filtering/search options.
- Advantages of this approach in comparison with other currently used
approaches (based on pregeneration of static pictures/pages with movie
descriptions and static indexes for navigation): the provided
navigation/filtering/search options can be much more powerful and
convenient than those based on static pregenerated indexes (e.g. more
flexible search conditions, the use of current context, etc); the user
interface can be much more flexible/powerful (as it does not depend on
static pregenerated content, and can include dynamic behavior), and
also can be much faster.
- The movie descriptions can be generated by a special PC application,
which looks up movies and fetch data automatically from Internet,
making as much job automatically as possible; it requires user
interaction only when automatic lookup does not give proper results,
and/or when the user wants t! o customize/override something.
- In future, also the following could be possible: movie descriptions
could be fetched from Internet by the player itself (e.g. from a
special Internet service), so the need to use PC application could be
completely eliminated of significantly reduced.
- Some parts of this approach could be used also for working with
Music and Photos, giving a consistent interface for working with the
entire Media Library.

3. Web Browser based on WebKit engine.
- Much more faster than Web Browser which took place on Sigma 863x units.
- Can render existing standard web sites, including very complex ones
via a lot of JavaScript (e.g. maps.google.com), not just simple pages
specially developed for the player.
- Also, can provide a way implement HTML+JavaScript based plugins for
Dune, providing various Internet services and other additional
features.

4. Flash Lite integration.
- Will provide a way to develop Flash-based based plugins for Dune,
providing various Internet s! ervices and other additional features.
- Also, potentially could be used in some parts of Dune's user interface.

5. User Interface with a nice 3D graphics and animation effects.
- Will be based on Flash Lite and/or natively implemented code
(whatever provides the best speed/performance and the best overall
results).

6. Possibility to control the player from network via Ethernet/HTTP,
and via RS232 (in future models).
- Will include possibilities such as: start/stop/control playback,
add/control torrents, emulate RC button presses, etc.
- Usages: integration into complex home theater setups and
home-automation systems, convenient client applications for various
platforms (HTML-based applications for standard web browsers, PC
applications, iPhone applications, etc), other usages by advanced
users.

7. Advanced bookmarks support.
- Bookmarks for playlists: one bookmark for the entire playlist (e.g. series).
- Browse! r of all saved bookmarks (aka "Recent Files" menu): easily
view what was played most recently, and resume it. Including proper
support for playlists / series.

8. Better music section.
- Music start/stop w/o video output reinitialization.
- Background music playback (together with photos, together with file browsing).
- Music control center with nice GUI.
- CUE support.
- APE and other formats support.
- Other music-related features.

9. System / general.
- Avoid video output reinitialization whenever possible.
- More options for video output configuration (colorspace settings,
native resolution support, advanced auto framerate settings, etc).
- A lot of other misc fixes/improvements.[/left]

שלום

הורדתי וניסיתי להתקין את הגירסא החדשה, אולם ה-DUNE עובר למצב "wait" ולא ממשיך לעדכון,
לאחר מספר דקות שלא קורה דבר, כיבוי והדלקה של המכשיר והוא חוזר לעבוד עם הגירסא הקודמת.
האם מישהו יודע מדוע איני מצליח להתקין את העדכון.

[oferlaor]

באיזה מכשיר מדובר (BASE 3 או PRIME 3)?

הורדת את גירסאת ה-DFF או ה-ZIP?

[אליני]

מדובר בדגם Center
הורדתי את קובץ ה- dff
לא רואה שיש שם קובץ Zip

[oferlaor]

CENTER 1 (המקורי)?

אם כן, אז יהיה לך רק קובץ DFF. יש כמה אפשרויות:
1. שה-FIRMWARE שלך ממש ישן ואז יתכן שאתה צריך קודם לעדכן ל-FIRMWARE מעט יותר עדכני
2. שהקובץ שהורדת אינו ה-FIRMWARE המלא.

קרה לי כבר כמה פעמים שהורדתי את הקובץ והוא לא ירד במלואו ואז היו בעיות כפי שאתה מתאר. תוודא שבסוף ההורדה הגודל שלו תואם למה שכתוב באתר שלהם.

[אליני]

למה הכוונה ה"מקורי"
קניתי אותו אצל עמיחי לפני פחות משנה.

ה-FIRMWARE שלו הנוכחי הוא האחרון מדצמבר.

הגודל שכתוב באתר הוא 49Mb
הגודל שהוא מוריד הוא 46.1Mb
שמתי לב לזה, אולם שום דבר לא עוזר, הורדתי מספר פעמים ותמיד נשאר אותו גודל.
גם ב-Prime וב-Base זה אותו הדבר מבחינת הגדלים.

תודה על הנסיון לעזור.

[אליני]

ובכן הבעיה נפתרה.
מסתבר שמ-ההרדדיסק הפנימי הוא לא מוכן להתקין את העדכון.
התקנתי דרך Disk on key, כאשר ניתקתי את שאר הדיסקים כולל הפנימי ואז הוא עידכן ועכשיו זה בסדר.
מקווה שזה יעזור לאחרים, במידה ויתקלו בבעיה.

[oferlaor]

אליני - מקורי = גירסא 1 (לא מהדור החדש של מכשירים).

החברים ב-HDI סופרים את הגודל של הקבצים באופן מעט שונה, צריך לראות כמה בייטים זה ולא כמה WINDOWS מדווח.

בינתיים מצאתי כמה דברים מעניינים:

1. התווספה פונקציית GOTO שלא ראיתי שהיא מתועדת בשום מקום
2. יש לי בעיית LIPSYNC מצטברת במספר קבצים.

האם גם אתם רואים את הבעיה שציינתי?

[Itay_Pollak]

עופר גם לי הייתה בעיה בLIPSYNC באיזה תוכנית טלויזיה שצפיתי, דווקא בסרט לא שמתי לב לתופעה.

[guy_k]

אני פשוט שומר על אחד הדיסקים שמחובר ב NFS למכשיר ומשם מבצע את העדכון...

שאלה - איך אני מעלה את הקובץ של IPTV שפרסמו בשרשור אחר?

תודה

[michael100]

אתה תוכל להשתמש ב IPTV רק אם ספק האינטרנט שלך תומך בכך.
אני לא יודע אם הספקים בארץ תומכים.

- Minor improvements in the player boot procedure; popup dialog for
choosing menu interface language is now shown when booting the player for
the first time (when player settings are not initialized yet).

- Bugfix: white vertical line consisting could be visible on the right side
of the screen in some cases.

- Bugfix: switching to another item in the playlist could lead to playback
crash (e.g. when switching between IPTV channels).

- Bugfix: picture adjustments could be handled in a wrong way during file
playback when autoframerate was used.

- Bugfix: specific TS files could be handled wrongly.

- Also includes the changes from 091023_1444_u-pdate1 (ensuring
compatibility with the latest Dune player batches, shipped starting with
Aprile, 2010).

מכיוון שזו היתה גירסאת תוכנה מינורית, לא טרחתי להוריד אותה.

המכשיר זיהה את העדכון והיום פשוט שאל אותי אם בא לי לשדרג. אישרתי וזה עשה הכל לבד.

מעולה!

Much faster start/stop of playback of video and audio files, w/o video output reinitialization.
- NOTE: If autoframerate feature is used, video output reinitialization may still be performed.
- NOTE: Playback of DVD/Blu-ray discs/images still requires video output reinitilization in any case.

- Added support for launching Flash applications (Flash Lite 3).
- To launch a Flash application, just launch ".swf" file in file browser.
- More information about Flash applications support is here.

- Added Web Browser feature.
- The web browser is based on WebKit engine and supports HTML4, CSS, JavaScript (including DHTML and AJAX). Flash and Java are not supported.
- Various Internet web sites can be viewed, even rather complicated ones (e.g. Google Maps is working).
- To launch the web browser, use "Web Browser" item on the main screen or press "URL" RC button.
- A new Setup section (Applications / Web Browser) allows to control various web browser related settings.
- The web browser can be controlled via RC, USB mouse, USB keyboard. USB mouse/keyboard should be connected to the player before the web browser is started.
- It is recomended to run the web browser with System Storage attached to the player (in such a case, the web browser will create and use "swap" file on the System Storage);
the web browser can work w/o System Storage, but complicated web sites requiring a lot of memory may work worse w/o System Storage.
- There are some limitations and issues; it is not guaranteed that all Internet web sites work or work properly; sometimes, there are some

- Added a support for DVB-T TV (using Dune TV USB dongle). Supported features:
- A new "DVB-T" item on the main screen (can be disabled via the setting "Setup / Applications / DVB-T / Show on main screen").

- Rescan frequences/channels: press MENU on "DVB-T" item on the main screen, choose "Scan".
- View the list of available channels and start watching: open "DVB-T" item on the main screen, choose a channel, press PLAY.
- Switch between DVB-T channels when watching: use MENU, P+/P-, PREV/NEXT RC buttons.
- View EPG and other information about the current program: use INFO RC button.
- Record the currently watched channel: press PLAY to start/stop recording (ensure there is a storage attached).
- Background/concurrent recordings (when two Dune TV USB dongles are attached): press "C" RC button to start/stop background recording of the current channel;
the background recording uses the second Dune TV USB dongle, and you can concurrent watch or record any other DVB-T channels using the first Dune TV USB dongle.
- Each recording is saved into its own file inside "DVB_recordins" folder in the main storage.

- Added a possibility to record Internet radio stations (HTTP/MP3 and HTTP/AAC).
- Recording of Internet radio works exactly the same way as recording of IPTV:
ensure there is a storage attached, and press PLAY RC button to start/stop recording during playback.
- Each recording is saved into its own file inside "InetRadio_recordins" folder in the main storage.

- Added a special support for watching (and also recording) network/Internet video streams which use HTTP protocol and TS format, with improved buffering approach.
- To start watching such a video stream, launch a special "http://ts://......" URL in the player (e.g. using dune_folder.txt/media_url).
- During watching, press PLAY to start/stop recording (ensure a storage is attached).
- Each recording is saved into its own file inside "MTS_recordings" folder in the main storage.

- Added a possibility to sort files in the file browser.

- Added support for specific TS files which were previously unsupported (audio-only files, files with certain information missing, etc).

- Added a new zoom preset for file playback: "fill screen" (convenient for watching 4:3 broadcasts with nonlinear stretching to 16:9).

- Added a possibility to put link to any folder/file/media resource directly to the main screen.
- Requirement: system storage should be attached (it is used to store the list of links and the associated icons).
- Usage instructions:
- S-elect any folder/file/media resource in the file browser, press MENU, choose "Add to main screen" in the popup menu.
A new item will be added to the main screen.
If the added item has an associated custom icon, the icon will be copied and used when showing the item on the main screen.
- To d-elete the added item from the main screen: choose it in the main screen, press CLEAR of choose MENU / D-elete.

- Added dune_folder.txt feature: a possibility to specify scale factor not only for the primary icon, but also for the s-elected icon.
- Syntax:
- icon_sel_scale_factor = ...
- NOTE: This feature allows to implement the "s-elected icon has bigger size" effect w/o need to prepare two different icons.

- Added dune_folder.txt feature: a possibility to force "list" and "extended list" view modes for a folder.
- Syntax:
- use_icon_view = list

- Syntax:
- media_action = browse|play|ask_user

- Added dune_folder.txt feature: support for showing "virtual" items on the screen.
- The dune_folder.txt in a folder can define a list of virtual items, which are shown in addition to the files/subfolders actually residing in this folder (if any).
- Syntax ( is the index of the virtual item: 0, 1, 2, ...):
- item..caption = ...
- item..media_url = ...
- item..icon_path = ... (NOTE: HTTP links to images can be used)
- item..<...> = ... (any other parameters affecting the look and behavior of the media item)

- Added support for working with external catalogs of resources ("virtual filesystems") in the file browser.
- When dune_folder.txt/media_url points to a HTTP URL using "dune_http://..." syntax instead of the normal "http://..." syntax,
such a HTTP URL is handled by the player as a "virtual folder", which can be opened and navigated similarly to how local and NFS/SMB folders can be opened/navigated.
- The "dune_http" HTTP URL should return dune_folder.txt describing the content of the virtual folder using the mechanism of "virtual items".
- Each virtual item can be either a reference to a particular media resource, or a "dune_http" reference to a nested virtual subfolder.

- Extended support for VBR MP3 files (added duration detection and seek possibilities).

- Extended the lists of supported encodings for EXT2/EXT3 and NFS (added all encodings supported in other places).

- Improved online upgrade function: more robust d-eletion of temporarily downloaded files.

- Improved TOP MENU RC button handling: it now allows to go to the main screen also from Setup.

- Improved antialiasing algorithm used for text rendering.

- Improved file browser responsiveness and performance in specific cases.

- Included the fix for the problem with media playback/reading pausing for several seconds.

- Improved handling of low-bitrate audio (less than 32Khz) during file playback (some issues fixed).

- Improved autoframerate: allow to switch to 23.976/24p from interlaced video modes when 24/50/60 autoframerate mode is used).

- Improved Internet radio playback: implemented more robust handling of HTTP connections.

- Improved component video output (prefering "SMPTE" standard instead of "M2"; should fix the problems with bad colors when component video output is chosen in Setup).

- Improved support for output of high quality PCM audio though digital audio outputs (S/PDIF and HDMI):
- Relaxed software limitations on the sample rate (to the level allowed by the hardware).
- Introduced a new setting allowing to limit maximum sample rate for compatibility with particular S/PDIF cables and A/V receivers.
- NOTE: For compatibility with all S/PDIF cables and A/V receivers, the limit is set to 48 Khz by default.

- Bugfix: in Blu-ray playback, 1921x1081 scaling was wrongly used, leading to slightly decreased picture quality.

- Bugfix: huge BD ISO could not be played properly (problem at ~40 min).

- Bugfix: network folders of different types (e.g. SMB and NFS) and having the same names did not work properly.

- Bugfix: some PCM WAV files were playing with a slight noise in the beginning.

- Bugfix: opening SMB share using guest account could not work in some cases.

- Bugfix: when reading/playing content from a SMB share, an error could occur in some rare cases.

- Bugfix: default choosing of internal audiotrack in TS files could not work (manual audio track switching could be required).

- Bugfix: external subtitles could be not available when starting file playback in specific ways (e.g. via network browser).

- Bugfix: UTF16-encoded external subtitles could be handled wrongly in specific cases.

- Bugfix: wrong information about audiocodec could be displayed when playing ASF/WMA file in specific cases.

- Bugfix: AC3 audiotracks in TS files could be decoded wrongly in specific cases.

- Bugfix: FIP button presses could cause duplicate actions in specific cases.

- Bugfix: loading invalid/corrupted user-created icon files (via dune_folder.txt) could be handled wrongly.

- Bugfix: during file playback, if specific zoom settings were used, switching to the next file in the playlist could cause wrong zoom settings/handling.

- Some menu languages added/u-pdated.

- Various other minor fixes and improvements.
