DMS v1.0.3.1 Beta is out! Please try it.

[ting]

playback in 1031 is not consistent. bluray or 4k playback stutters , audio stops if i exit and play again sometimes movie does not play at all and also it take more time to start playback of iso in comparison to 1030 which is almost instant. I am gone back to 1030 and it plays without any problems. 1031 definitely has playback problems . FYI all my movies are in ISO format and inside internal HDD.

In v1031, there are some improvement for playing 4K source in NAS, I think maybe this is the reason for the playing problem.

and about the playing problem, there are more information ?
like some fixed source, have the same audio stream, or other same point for the source ?

Please click feedback problem and send log to us, we will check it, and we also will test it.

Thanks report

hi, All source have playing problem or just special source ?

They are all local files on the attached SATA drive.

I only use local media for now. So it is the local attached SATA drive. Networking to and from the movie server is unusable. even trying to do a backup over WiFi network crashes the movie server. To solve my file transfer issue, I purchased a SATA docking station from my computer. When I have files to transfer, I shut the movie server down, and put the local SATA drive in the docking station and transfer the files over USB link to my local computer.

I have had all sorts of issues since the 1.0.3.1 update. Fortunately I have found what I hope to be temporary workarounds. I just hope the next release fixes these issues.

Hi, So I was digging around in the System Maintenance area of the DMS. I was looking for a setting that might fix the performance issues that popped up right after the 1.0.3.1 update. I came across HiSilcon Media Player (Debugging). So I played a movie using the HiSilcon Media Player and it played the movie perfectly. When I played the same movie using the DMS poster menu, the movie had freezing and audio drops.

So the question is why? Both players are playing the same local file on the same hardware, so why is there such a significant difference in performance? Is there any hidden setting or configuration file where we can make the DMS Poster menu use the HiSilcon Media Player?

Thanks

And that is why I am staying on v1010.

Aspect ratio on 4K UHD MKV files not displaying correctly. It crops the top of the screen with a much larger black bar then the bottom under default aspect ratio full screen. No picture when selecting original aspect ratio and 16:9 turns all 4K movies into full screen. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue or if it was an issue on earlier versions as this 1.0.3.1 is my first test of 4K downloaded content.

Based on what I have read in the forum so far, I have to wonder if I am the only one seeing this behavior after applying 1.0.3.1. First off the first install of 1.0.3.1 was OTA as I was checking for updates, and it just offered the update. I didn't know I was supposed to download the update to a USB drive and install from that. It wasn't until after the upgrade when I started noticing much more frequent stalls/freezing during playback from the local hard drive. It also became nearly impossible to transfer files to or from the movie server over the WiFi network. The connection is there because it will get about 1/4 to 1/3 of the iso file transferred before it fails. I have tried to find log files that show the condition but could not understand most of the data in the logs that I found. Really just wondering if I'm alone on this or if anyone else has noticed these performance differences. Either way, I'm anxiously waiting for the next release. In the meantime, I have ordered a SATA hot swap port for my computer so I can transfer files directly to the drive over USB link.

Dear developer team, Here is my feedback: Last week I made the OTA update 1.0.3.1. Now I have no movie description in German - all English! Same problem as firmware 1.0.2.0 and all other versions after 1.0.1.0. In the Movie Server, the language is set to German, in the DVDFAB movie manager too ... Nevertheless, only English film descriptions ?? My movies are on (many) external USB 3.0 hard drives. With version 1.0.3.1 now no billboard more ... In the newly created movie database I can not see what movies are on the currently used hard drive ... The FilmServer is therefore no longer usable for me. So back to version 1.0.1.0. (Once again) L Sorry for my very bad english ...

hi,

Sorry for the language problem, we are working for it, in the next version, will fix this problem.

About the problem for hard drive, this function is not stable, so it be removed temporary, I think which will be add in the future version.

Thanks.

Ting,
I have had similar issues as well with my HDMI after patching, in most cases rebooting after an upgrade a couple of times has fixed, or I had downgraded, just so you know it may not be isolated.. Mine is connected to an Anthem AVM60 and a Sony Projector but I don't think it matters what the other side of the cable is in this case, its more like a bad state or config after patch/upgrade is the behavior I have seen. Going in and not using the auto frequencies and selecting specific ones is what I did another time.

Thanks

hi, Raethien

Thanks your report, we will test this part more.

about the 4K in NAS problem,

I have tested the LUCY 4K, play it in QNAP NAS, but it's ok, Did you find other problem source ?

Hi, I confirm that the problem I reported caused the update to v1031, in the v1030 it works correctly.

regards

1. We check the control code about the HDMI connect, we not did any change from v1030 to v1031
2. We failed to reproduce this issue as followed steps on version 1031:

* run box as normal
* make sure box works ok
* reboot box
* make sure box works ok
* repeat above steps 1~5 20 times

So there is very strange for your problem, maybe need more test to repeat it .
