Especially very advanced Movie juke box, Xtreamer live and 7.1ch HD audio feature.

We are sure it will make you very happy. It is including many other features update.

Really hope you enjoy it.

* This is beta a release. There might be bug(s) other than known issues, if you find any, please post it at Xtreamer Official Forum - Index page and please wait for the final release to get nearly perfect firmware.

Jukebox instructions for Betatesters

Requirements:

* Internal HDD or attached USB Storage
* Internet Connection
* Xtreamer Device
* Patience....lol

1) Download and install 2.4b18 from the link given in this thread

2) Once installation is complete then ensure you 'Reset Defaults' in settings

3) Configure your settings in the way you prefer and enable the 'Web Server' in the network section if you wish to use the Jukebox Web Interface

4) Turn the NTP Server ON in the 'System' settings page

5) Go to your Media Library and add your Movie directories to your favourites using the '8' (FUNC) key.PLEASE NOTE, All favourites will be scanned so for this beta test please do not add TV series folders / Music videos etc or you will need more editing later to correct.

6) At this stage you can finally go to 'Movie Jukebox' on your main menu

7) Follow the on screen instructions (Use 1 to download etc)

8) Once the Jukebox is installed you have two options:

(A)
Use your TV to create the Jukebox
(You can use the Jukebox Web Interface (WI) afterwards for advanced editing)

(B)
Use the Web interface from the start to set up, scan and edit your Jukebox
(http://XtreamerIPaddress/jukebox)


The instructions should be pretty self explanatory from here on in.


Known Jukebox bugs

Overscan issues affect the full screen viewing on some (mostly older) TV Models - We will produce a template after release to correct this for those affected. Some CRT and many newer HDMI-TVs have the ability to prevent overscan by just changing a simple setting in the TV settings - Check this first if affected

During autoscraping movie years are not considered during matching - some movies are as a result recognized incorrectly (we will add comparison by 'year' later)

Navigation issues using the return key sometimes return a blank page - This is being fixed at the moment and will have an update soon.

In Multiplex view, scrolling to the far left or right results in 'ghosting' effects which are corrected after the screen refreshes

Only 100 Movies at a time are shown in any of the views - This is to improve performance considerably, scrolling to the end of the list will automatically load the next 'page' of results.

Scanning can take a while - Remember that it is doing some pretty complicated stuff in the background so please be patient


Jukebox Recent Features:

The Jukebox currently supports 4 Scraper plugins in 4 languages
Currently 10 OSD languages are supported for a full OSD localised experience. This list is not final as we are in the process of adding additional languages within the upcoming updates.

Once movies have been scanned and added to the Jukebox you will have the option to see a preview and full movie information even from the 'Media Library' by pressing the INFO button on the remote control on any folder which contains a movie with scanned data

When movies have been scanned and added to the Jukebox you will see more detailed movie information if you press the INFO button while a movie is playing, this includes full plot information and movie rating

We added an exciting feature to the media library FUNC popup that will allow you to add any movie to the jukebox even if you did not scan the entire folder or if you added the file later on. This will open doors for the community to allow you get movie info on the fly even if you did not pre-scrape / scan the folder on the jukebox. Its full functionality will be appreciated within a short time once the developers will introduce this working function.

An upgrade check / download function has been added to the Jukebox. Press the '8' (FUNC) button while on the setup screen to check if a new version exists. Your current jukebox version will be displayed on the jukebox homescreen.

New Firmware Features Added:

(1) Subtitle Browser - You will be able to find this new option on the subtitle popup screen. It will allow you to select an external subtitle file on any location on your HDD. It will absolve you from the need to rename the subtitle to the same name as the movie file name and will free you from the need to place the subtitles on the same folder of the movie

(2) HD Audio Passthrough - (For Xtreamer Pro and Sidewinder models only ) This beta introduces the long anticipated 7.1 Audio Passthrough to DTS-Master Audio, Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus.

(6) Online Download & update mechanisms for Xtreamer live + Jukebox - This beta was introduced with the ability to download the Xtreamer Live and the Community Jukebox directly from our server provided that you agree to the terms outlined on the opening screen.

This function will also allow users to perform online updates as they are made available by the community

(7) Restricted Porn Section - The XXX porn section on the Xteramer live will be automatically protected by the system default password . (0000) . We will consider to make this section available as a manual download section and to present a "family" version of it on the official release. The password is based on the 'Folder Lock' password and can be updated on the Settings page

(8) Hebrew TV GUI - Was retranslated entirely so as to introduce a more localised experience to the various sections

(9) Auto creation of swap file - A default (64MB) swap file will be created while entering the Movie Jukebox to improve performance

Example usage:

File1=mms://s2.arirang.co.kr/FM_Live

Requirements:

Any ideas if it will work or not?.

This requirement is for Jukebox. Firmware should also be installed from a Pen Drive or internal storage.

will flashing this firmware create any warranty issues?


cheers

Please go ahead and install it. :)

Hi, The link for the xtreamer sidewinder doesn't seem to work. Can I download from the other link (for PRO) and use it for my sidewinder?

You cannot use firmware for PRO in Xtreamer MK1 or sidewinder.

OK. Just now got instructions from Xtreamer Global that the beta firmware is only for beta testers and not for all the customers.

Who have downloaded the firmware can test and report the bugs at Xtreamer forum.

Others, please wait for the official firmware to get ready.
 
i read it somewhere that it's advisable not to flash firmware from network...

No it is not about flashing the firmware. I will flash it using the USB.

The question was about using the jukebox feature. Will the jukebox
work only with internal HD or USB HD or will also work with the
streaming from a NAS.
 
The download link has been disable as per instructions of Xtreamer Global.

Those who have downloaded can enjoy the firmware - HD audio, Juke box, etc etc and be unofficial beta testers. :)

Please do not blame us for any bugs. Who want to blame us, please wait for the final release of the firmware. :)
