When I had my NUC with Win7, I had set TMT as my external player from within XBMC. There's a thread in the Windows support section that explains how to do this. For me, I just didn't care for XBMC under Windows... didn't feel like a just turn-on-and-use set-top box.

+1

I know about the external player, used it before too, but like you said, i just doesnt feel like a turn on/off box

Will do.

What is the latest version of Firmware and software on this device?

**hdmkv** · 2014-11-20, 22:40

Yeah, you'll want to update the software first thing as it wipes all your data/apps/settings after install. SDK v1.2 is latest I think... you can update OTA directly from box.

How is the VidOn the media player?

Does it play Bluray 3D/2D ISO

**hdmkv** · 2014-11-20, 23:19

I didn't bother with it as it's only there when you install their VidOn Media Center, which I didn't care for. They have a new version out (separate download from their website), so may try it again.

Did you guys notice Cloud Media just released a new firmware for OpenHour that supports 3D ISO's? See here.

Mulling over whether I should subject myself to be a guinea pig Wink

. I've been burned by Syabas/Cloud Media before, so on the fence.

HP ChromeBox w/OpenElec == 2D/MKV
VidOn Box ===BluRay 3D/2D ISO..

I'm wondering why you don't use VidOn Box to play 2D/MKV? Does the box have problems on the playback of 2D/MKV?

**hdmkv** · 2014-11-21, 14:43

Wolly, we need 23.976 and 59.940 fps support on the box to consider just using VidOn for everything.

Reason why..

I remember when 'hdmkv' ask that if you guys are going to come with a better hardware and you made fun about it.

With Almost 1100 2D/MKV files, i don't the VidOn can handle it.
I have feeling the device with crash all the time.

On the Software side,you guys are doing a great job,it just needs a few tweaks and everything will be great
But on the hardware side, you need come out with a $149 device with great hardware then i will migrate all my movie catalog into that device.

+1... need a more powerful box (CPU/GPU) w/o losing full 3D and hd audio support that's there now. Also, 23.976 fps support.

Skank · 2014-11-26, 11:38

Anyone going to test this one?

I see, there are three key points: No buffer, No Crash, 23.976Hz & 59.940Hz.
I will push our developers to do the job.

You got it Smile

Wow, a total thread drift.

What were we discussing in this thread again oh yeah - MeLE X2000.
For such a big box, seems strange to still put USB & SDcard ports on the side of it, since it has plenty of open real estate on the back panel to put it all back there.

Wolly · 2014-11-27, 04:56

They need to redesign the PCB if they want move all ports to the back.
