Hi,
driver from today:

update drivers(solo4k, uno4k, ultimo4k)
- Fix motorized dish(uno4k, ultimo4k)
- Fix PES filter
- Fix FastForward
- Fix DTS media playback problem

So motor might be solved.

ciao

Hurray. @ Trial
I also need to say in my short time using VTi on the ultimo4k i haven't encountered the fast forward rewind bug that the solo4k seems to have...
i may try VTi on the solo4k over christmas and see what happens.

All images use the same drivers, and FF is really driver dependant.

Hi Rob,
I am not sure about that. I think gstreamer is involved in playback.

Tue, but only for other files then recordings.

Hi,
I am also not sure about that. Because of FCC I mainly use VTi with old gstreamer 1.64 at the moment and there are no problems with ff and fr at least I did not see one. Not to be misunderstood 1.64 has other drawbacks like VC1 not working always or no chapter marks in mkv.

Recordings are only handled by the hardware. All other files need the help of GSreamer.

Like i said, it used to work, and for a long time it hasn't, i will give it a try over Christmas, i will try new a few images old and new.

I have recently acquired a brand spanking all singing all dancing very expensive Oppo 203 and that isn't recognizing chapter marks in MKV either, does no one test their products any more???

We found now i remember, that if you playback a recording on the solo4K made with another machine such as a Duo2 it is fine, the problem is with recordings made by the solo4k itself.

Usually the users/clients do that: they buy a device, complain about missing/failing functionality and the manufacturer uses the feedback for updating the firmware (and sometimes even the hardware). And they do it for free and much faster then any embedded testing would allow; that's what makes the manufacturer really happy

May be an issue with the software used to rip the CD to mkv .... I seem to remember numerous issues with the software package I used in the past

Nope My Samsung TV, My Zidoo X9S, My Amazon Fire TV 2 & My Amazon Fire both running SPMC observe chapter marks fine.

If Samsung can do it, must be an Oppo issue

Hi,
on friday he box became even more interesting. I got my Echo on friday and the same day an Echo plugin for the 4K boxes was made public. With this plugin it is possible to control an (4K-)E2 box with Echo/Dot. It is really funny to say "Alexa switch BBC1 on" and the receiver switches to BBC1 (only an example I used "Das Erste" for my tests) Everything which is possible with the web interface might be controllable with Echo.

Even more this plugin installs a complete HA bridge so that it is able to control also Harmony and Hue with the help of the box but I did not test this up to now.

Only 4K Arm boxes are supported because a complete Java runtime is needed for that.

Hi,

Should I add this to the 3rd-party feeds? Should only be done if the dependencies are on the feeds.

For over 2 years i have been able to tell my Samsung TV to switch to Sky Sports 1 HD (and it will switch my VU+ box) or show me the latest Star Wars trailer on youtube and it does, the novelty soon wears off.
