HDI Dune heeft dinsdag nieuwe bètafirmware uitgebracht die geschikt is voor al zijn mediaspelers, zowel recente als al wat oudere modellen. Versie 091229_1411 bèta is dus geschikt voor de Dune HD Base 3.0, Dune BD Prime 3.0, Dune HD Base 2.0, Dune HD Base, Dune HD Center, Dune BD Prime, Dune HD Mini en de Dune HD Ultra. In dit topic op GoT wordt onder andere gediscussieerd over de HD Base 3.0 en BD Prime 3.0. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
Full list of changes:
- Bookmarks improvements:
- File bookmarks are disabled when playing playlists, they are used only when playing individual files (press ENTER on a file).
- The setting "Miscellaneous / Playback / Autoresume video files" allows to completely disable bookmarks for video files.
- The setting "Miscellaneous / Playback / Autoresume audio files" allows to completely disable bookmarks for audio files.
- The setting "Miscellaneous / Playback / Autoresume DVD" allows to completely disable bookmarks for DVD discs and DVD-folders/ISO-images.
- Added a support for tags in audio files (MP3, FLAC, WMA, M4A).
- When tags are detected, they are automatically shown for the currently played file during music playback. The supports tags include: title, artist, album, track, year, comment.
- The setting "Miscellaneous / Playback / Audio file tags" allows to disable reading and showing the tags (could be helpful e.g. if it does not work properly for some files).
- Both Unicode and 8-bit tags are supported. The setting "Miscellaneous / Encodings / MP3 tag encoding" allows to force the specified encoding for tags in MP3 files.
- When music playback starts, a hint about INFO and MENU buttons is displayed (INFO --show details about the current track, MENU -
- show the playlist).
- Added support for USB WiFi adapter D-Link DWA-140 version B2 (previously only version B1 was supported).
- Added full support for discrete power-off and power-on IR commands. IR hex codes:
- DISCRETE-POWER-ON: 00 BF 5F A0
- DISCRETE-POWER-OFF: 00 BF 5E A1
- The DISCRETE-POWER-ON IR command is handled exactly as POWER RC button when the player is in the standby mode, and is ignored when the player is turned on.
- The DISCRETE-POWER-OFF IR command is handled exactly as POWER RC button when the player is turned on, and is ignored when the player is in the standby mode.
- If the player is configured to perform full power-off instead of entering software standby, the DISCRETE-POWER-OFF and DISCRETE-POWER-ON commands perform full power-off and power-on.
- Added a possibility to easily format a non-initialized drive (e.g. HDD) just by pressing ENTER of the drive item on the main screen.
- "dune_folder.txt": "background_order" parameter now supports the following set of values (instead of "first" and "last" as took place in the previous firmware version):
- "before_all": the same as "first" in the previous firmware version.
- "before_icons": the same as "last" in the previous firmware version.
- "after_all": a new option, allowing to paint the custom background after everything else (including file icons).
- "dune_folder.txt": added a possibility to hide file icons (w/o using dummy fully-transparent icon). Syntax:
- "paint_icons = no" (default is "yes").
- Added more menu languages: Hungarian, Polish. Some other languages updated/improved.
- The configuration of built-in FTP server adjusted to allow "FXP" transfers.
- Added support for playback of video files with ".trp" extension (no more need to rename them).
- Improved the speed of startup of specific MKV files, which previously could take too long to start (that could even be considered by the user as hangup in some cases).
- Bugfix: playing a file with an unknown length (such as MP3 with VBR bitrate) caused playback crash (this bug was introduced in the previous beta firmware version).
- Bugfix: playing/reading files from SMB share could crash in some cases (the bug introduced by SMB optimizations in the previous beta firmware version) (plus some other SMB-related bugs fixed).
- Bugfix: returning to file browser (e.g. after playback) caused crash if current folder had dune_folder.txt with custom background image.
- Bugfix: specific Blu-ray images could not be played in some cases.
- Bugfix: after switching to TrueHD audiotrack in MKV file, stuttering could take place in specific cases.
- Bugfix: "dune_folder.txt" / "paint_captions = no" did not work properly in some cases (when the filename was too long and scrolled, it was shown despite this setting).
