DiabloZoe I think this will be a good thread to start with the introduction of Cinavia in all players after Feb 2012. Please post any questions you might have about media players, I'm kinda new to them myself but do have experience with them as a few of the other members also do too! I currently have a Dune Duo and a HiMedia 900B. I cannot get over how good the Dune is and the jukebox imuse with it!
regnad kcin Hey DZ, I'm not quite connecting the dots here so help me out. Media players are not subject to Cinavia DRM, at least those that don't support internal/external BD players already infected or soon to be infected with Cinavia. I suspect these (hdd players) represent the vast majority of players. I know for eg. that Dune BD Prime would be affected since it has an internal BD player. Are these "hybrid" players the ones you're talking about?

I think even though they pay for a BD license well some do like Dune, being from Russia I think they are able to get past it! Dune will never let there players be subjected to the protection!! I will try and get ahold of Mike and duneplayer and ask him about this, but at CES when I was talking to him about the new Sigma SoC which might implement Cinavia, he said that Dune is not worried one bit! My Duo does not have a BD Drive I use Fab to back up the movies then transfer them to the player!

[QUOTE=regnad kcin;110293]Media players are not subject to Cinavia DRM, at least those that don't support internal/external BD players already infected or soon to be infected with Cinavia[/QUOTE] Hence my question. What media players are you referring to in your first post?

GregiBoy I know DZ has just acquired a Dune (not sure what model) and also now has a HiMedia (900B?) so may be referring to them. I have 3 newies myself, a Kaiboer 530i, WDTV Live Hub & AC Ryan Mini 2. No signs of Cinivia infection and going through their forums, there are no plans to implement.

The dune is the Duo and I did own the live hub! I really like the UI on the hub the best! Unfortunately it does not output DTSMA. While none of these have built in BD drives as GregiBoy has stated there has been no mention to implement Cinavia in any of there respected forums.

[/QUOTE][QUOTE=DiabloZoe;110309] While none of these have built in BD drives as GregiBoy has stated there has been no mention to implement Cinavia in any of there respected forums.[/QUOTE] Exactly. For the record, I picked up my first media player 2-3 years ago, an Argosy HV335T...a solid, entry level player My last purchase is an AIOS HD MP...great player and no downside, not that I've discovered. Obviously, cinavia in not an issue with either one.

This thread is to inform users of the fact there are media players out there, that are a great alternative to bluray players, and some of the better points and reasons to get one! And the fact of right now they will not have to deal with cinavia.
GregiBoy There ain't no dots to connect..... The principle works and works well. I've been preaching it for bloody years and now DZ sounds like a disciple... GB
GregiBoy Hard to beat a good media player with 11Tb of storage and running a nice, clean, well maintained YAMJ movie jukebox. Even the girlfriend can run it easily. :D:o:)
regnad kcin The title of the thread threw me...didn't realize you were just starting another thread about media players. I just read too much into it. Thanks for the clarification

DiabloZoe [QUOTE=regnad kcin;110360]The title of the thread threw me...didn't realize you were just starting another thread about media players. I just read too much into it. Thanks for the clarification[/QUOTE] No prob!
GregiBoy Yeah but prefer YAMJ/Thumbgen combination. [QUOTE=DiabloZoe;110374]Have you checked out My Movies?[/QUOTE]
DiabloZoe [QUOTE=GregiBoy;110386]Yeah but prefer YAMJ/Thumbgen combination.[/QUOTE] I had some issues setting it up, but once up and running it's great and the iPad/iPhone app is crazy! Browse and hit play your done!
rockyhahn I'm looking at getting a media player to replace my PS3 and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations? I was looking at something that will play BD ISO files, HD audio (Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD MA) and cost around or under $300 (US). I have been looking over the Dune website and really like the specifications of the HD Smart D1 but I am wondering about the websites to order it from the US. They look kind of shady. Has anyone from the US ordered a Dune player and what website or store did you get it from? I am open to any other player also.
