Wow, I am going in for this. Once can also add a HDD as it has an enclosure inside.


And the best thing that I liked is their soon to be lauched add-on.
Checkout their Xtreamer NAS capability:

So, I connect xtreamer to my Wired/USB modem and it will download torrentz?
Does it support rapidshare downloads?

- ethernet connectivity ...and features like youtube streaming etc

So, Can I directly play Youtube videos directly on tv, without pc?

Hi got my Xtreamer Media Player (XMP) today my 1st impressions are given below all the comparisons are done with WDTV which i have been using form last 6 months

PQ almost same as Wd
SQ do
Remote of XMP is not working properly from a distance of 10/12 feet and even when in close range near player certain angels only V/s WD remote is perfect the quality of remote range has to be impoved (tried with my harmony too same problem so ir range in unit has some problems).

On screen menu is faster than WD but gets hanged sometimes and i had to unplug the unit from power and restart never had the problem with Wd maybe XMP with improve over the time with new firmware updates.

My 1TB External HDD (WD) working perfectly with WDTV is not even getting recognized by XMP the same was working perfectly with WDTV.Tryed with another 500 Gb external Hdd working properly diffrence =1tb was fat 32 and 500 gb was NTFS format (???) maybe have to reformat my 1tb hdd to NTFS

Wifi support is great esp with a free wifi Antenna- Definately a BIG advantage for XMP.another plus is copying directly to internal HDD from USB or network (tryed with external hdd but not on network.

Price (XMP)Rs.9990/- v/s (WDTV)7000/- to 7500/- payong 2490/- min more for Wifi Antenna Hdmi 1.3 internal HDD encloser depenends on requirement.

...and im expecting that XMP will have more community support as its open source so guys take your pick :clapping:

sorry for the quality of pics from my mobile phone:)

I agree with the issue with remote.

I used to have issues with videos hanging, especially HD videos which are around 30 GB in WD TV...Same files working smoothly in XMP. Till now, not faced any hanging issues with XMP.... Lets see...

FAT32 will only support files less than 4 GB.... So my external HDD (Seagate) is NTFS... I have not tested in FAT32....

ISO is working fine in XMP, but was not working in WD TV... I hope that the new WD TV 2 will support it....


I can't test WD TV any more, as I gave it to my cousin.


Thanks for the review.... expecting more..... :licklips:
 
seen a few movies today on XMP a few avi files are not playing i think two but that's ok.

Sree hari...the issue is not about size of movie i guess its more to do with issue of format NTFS/FAT32 XMB was not able to recognize my 1TB FAT32 HDD.

tried UPnP works excellent on network can add/delete files from my PC..
also saw a few you-tube videos directly from XMP -Good,:yahoo:

widgets like weather (there r more but checked only weather) has got lot of cities and is quite good.:clapping:

another added advantage is VOL/Contrast/Brightness settings big plus & vol control right from remote can can settings without completely going to main menu.:yahoo:

i personaly feel the interface spcially the color combination blue in WDTV is better against RED in XMP (may be cuz blue also is my fav color) but on a large screen (120" in my case-Optoma projector) blue looks cool.:mad: (will want future updates to give option of user changeable themes at least color scheme).

1.3 Deep color has a slight edge in PQ...IMHO (not much but is there)

the base stand is very poor in finish and also in size heavy chances of XMP falling down-may be a design change in future for stand.

Fan noise is there but not a big issuie much less than PS3 (mid) EVEN IN HIGH NOT MUCH AUDIBLE.

Tomm maybe try to upload a few pics of some movie scene with XMP in action..
regards
