Found out the issue... I was loading an older firmware config file.
Once i've re-installed the firmware and did config everything again it worked.

Try to download (to be sure) and flash firmware again, this beta works ok. No troubles here, so must be something that went wrong with installing firmware.

Versions. 3.0.6 is totally OK and 4.0.0. too. Fault is probably not the installation. I did not have this problem before. I try with default settings, boot from USB with firmware.

Same issue here. What was the solution? Describe it step by step, please... I don't understand "firmware config file". Usually I just upgrade the firmware and I don't need to do anything else.

sounds strange..

are you sure that firmware file is not somehow corrupted?
have you tried to download latest firmware again?

Firmware is from zip file which is undamaged. Unzip with no problem.
Ans as I wrote exactly the same problem was with X3D_Series_V4.0.1_BETA_11March2015

Config file is saved settings.. like as a backup your device configs

OK, now it's clear. After resetting the player to the factory default, this issue's gone. But it would be great to make this update more error-proof, maybe setting a default value on the formerly unused parts of the config file. It seems to me, there is no line in the config for this separated picture settings therefore the screen remains blank when I open a picture to show. After resetting the device to factory default, a new version of the config file was created with all the required sections - but I had to run through on the settings again...

To flash

Install using the Emergency Procedure

Emergency Procedure
Use a USB Stick that is formatted fat32 in Windows PC. If you have any difficulty we suggest you format the USB stick with the HP Utility - https://docs.google.com/a/mede8er.com/file/d/0B_SDrpPD4AxPaEF0NUVRcU5WSmc/edit
Download the latest Mede8er Firmware from www.mede8erforum.com. UnZIP or UnRAR or join with HJ Split and will find one file named install.img. Copy this file to the root directory of a Flash Drive. Plug the flash drive into the Mede8er. Unplug the power to the X3D. Plug the power jack back in and then hold the ON/OFF button on the Mede8er (not the remote) down for 15sec and then release. After the firmware has been checked (+-5-10sec) it will start to update. You will see the update progress on your TV.  Do not remove power during the Firmware Update procedure .

Then set up from scratch, no restore configs. works everytime for me,

The only thing that never works for me at all is that one line
"You will see the update progress on your TV"
I have never ever seen this, I just wait about 2 minutes and my 600 comes back on by itself.

Thanks for the update, works great so far, will report back if problems.

This was happened after some days in use (not immediate after firmwade update):
When play a movie or display a picture the Brightness value was changed to -7 (yes, negative value). It is very difficult to set it back to a normal value (25) because the screen is very dark. This was happened 3x times already. With the previous firmware was the same. I can't reproduce this, it comes randomly.

The change between GUI levels and photo levels  happens just before the first photo appears, so yes the GUI is affected for a second or so.   

The player now has three sets of video output levels (even photos are going  out as video)
1) Fixed levels for the GUI (apart from the effect described above).
2) User controlled level for Video Media, which  appear on the main menu when such media is being played.
3) User controlled levels for Photo Media, which appear on the main menu when  such media is being played, using the same menu names.

Overall, this release is very stable. I have been using it daily on two of my 600X3D's.

The only problem I encountered was that when I was using the scan folders feature it would freeze up on certain movies. I waited over 15-30 minutes and it would be still on the same movie. To fix I would have to unplug the Mede8er. Then manually go to that movie it would get stuck on and hit edit, then manually select proper movie title then hit save. I had to do this for 3 movies, however overall it went smooth.

I noticed the movies it got stuck on were movies that have numerous versions such as Hercules. It should search the movie title and then the year that is in the folder for a better match. Also, the other movies it could not detect properly were ones with the letter "A" in the title. Such as "A Most Violent Year" or "A Most Wanted Man". Basically, it would forget to remove the period after the A, so it would not find a match since it would pick up "A. Most Violent Year". Luckily only less then 10% of collection it did not pick up properly. I use Scene naming conventions.

Thank you for answer. But I understand that it is done in this v4.0.1 April firmware? Or was it there even before ?

They have been trying to add separate photo controls as part of v4 development. Things get implemented , and are then found to have issues.  So just because something is in a change log dosn't mean it turns out to be usable.

Are you saying all  these issues started with this firmware?  No one should expect a firmware change that  can deliver java menus as java is not supported. Neither a firmware that  will change frame rate once set by the first movie on the BD...which is  often a trailer using a different rate.  So many of your issues look like ones that you will have had before, and nothing to  do  with the changes in this  firmware.

The new firmware has new brightness/contrast controls that you should try when playing a movie. Check the global media filter found on the menu, when browsing photo folders. It needs to be all, not movies.

Hello,
I am new to the Mede8er and i recently got a MED800X3D, Before i get the 800 i had (still have it) a Xtreamer SideWinder3 that what i can tell is using the same hardware platform. The Mede8er is way better in a superior way because of better firmware but there is some things i noticed that is not working. I upgraded right away to latest firmware so i don't know if this is old bugs or newly introduced.

First ... compared to the SW3, I am noticing bad sound quality when playing movies with AAC coding. Is that a bug or am i having a problem with my MED800?

Next one is about the jukebox.
It does not see new added movies when put together with multible sources.
i have done like this ...
1. first i made a folder on thr HDD called Jukebox
2. then i made it a favourite
3. i select it as the jukebox+ folder
4. i go to my samba source and add it to the jukebox+ ... it finds the movies and adds them
4 i do the same with a folder on the hdd ... it adds successful
 i can now browse my movies in the jukebox folder in favourites
if i add a new movie to my network share and go to the jukebox and skan it ... it does not search and add new movies. if i scan the folders seperat, it works. to get the combined jukebox to see the new movies i have to empty it and add the source folders again. i have to do this every time. anyone else have this problem?

thanks, sorry for my bad english

The player has evolved by adding new layers to  code which  already exists.  Scan only scans the folder its linked too..as that was the only need when it was first created.  It has no master list for jukebox+ of all  the source jukebox folders, users have to  remember that.

You can put it forward as a Feature Request.

I have this too.  Didn't have the issue right away either.  But in my case if I look at a picture, and then go into the menu to adjust the brightness it is locked and won't let me adjust it!  All the other settings (contrast, etc) are not locked.

When playing a movie, the brightness setting is adjustable.  Just locked in pictures so far that I've seen.

So... it is then really better just to add the sources as favourites and scan them manually when adding movies?  I only have 2 sources so it is not really a big hassle for me. I do love my new 800 so i can over look that ... but you are right ... what is the point to link up more sources if they don't get scanned? It should be added as a feature request :)

The sources don't get scanned in jukebox+, its the original  empty folder you created for jukebox+ that  does get scanned.   Some people get around this by hosting their files in "dated" folders for each group of new movies. They then scan  them  separately and add the new dated folder to jukebox+. Jukebox+ them makes them  appear to  be one jukebox.  

Once you know that  you reset and recreate jukebox+ it dosnt take that long.  Adding the code to  register the sources and scan  them would take longer......

hi guys! Please help me on solving some problems. Today I finally updated my MED600X3D from version V1.0.3 to V4.0.1.

I first installed V2.0.0 then V3.0.1 and finally V4.0.1.

Now I have some problems.

1) The system can not open some movies (avi) anymore. It says that it does not support file, but I already saw this movie in old version.
2) When I open pictures, they are very dark. I read that you also have same problems.
3) When opening some folders, it looks like system crashed and started again. I solved this problem myself by deleting the favorite folder name and manually search for it again and made new favorite folder. Then system could open it again.

I think I want to go bank to version V1.0.3 again. How can I go back to "factory settings"?

Or can you please help me solve this issues? I do not have high knowledge of the system. Just a beginner!

Thanks a lot

Hernan

Using this firmware and updating with 3D bubble skin and custom background image I have overlayed text (appears to be from the default skin) on the homescreen. (About 5 light blue text lines interspaced equaly as a column not relevant to the 3D bubble skin).

The latter skin combination was not a problem in firmware 3.0.7 and the problem is also not present when I use restore config from an older version 4.0.1. (However restore config causes the black screen when using slide view of pictures and therefore not a workable solution for me).

I have this too.  Didn't have the issue right away either.  But in my case if I look at a picture, and then go into the menu to adjust the brightness it is locked and won't let me adjust it!  All the other settings (contrast, etc) are not locked.

When playing a movie, the brightness setting is adjustable.  Just locked in pictures so far that I've seen.
Attached picture: unable to change Brightness from negative value.

There are issues with subtitles vanishing. Playing a blu-ray ISO, or an m2ts file in the blu-ray folder, and then browsing for an external .srt subtitle file, results in the subtitles vanishing if I pause the film,skip backwards or forwards, etc. - the subtitles disappear, and I have to stop and restart playback for them to appear again. Turning the subtitles off and back on again do not re-enable the subtitles. I have to actually stop the film and restart it again, then re-select the external subtitle file again, then the subtitles appear again.

It's not consistent, and it doesn't happen every time, but it happens regularly.

I can't say if this is a new issue or not, but can this be looked into please? This is a big issue.

EDIT: I also used makemkv to mux the blu-ray into an mkv, and then used mkvtoolnix to mux the .srt subtitles into the mkv. When playing the mkv with the internal subtitles activated, the subtitles are fine, and do not disappear when pausing or scanning around the video. When playing the same mkv file, but enabling the external subtitle file (the same srt file as the internal muxed subtitles), the subtitles again disappear when pausing or skipping forward or back in the video.

So there's an issue with playing external subtitles with various media files, and it is repeatable. Can this be looked into?

Still having the same issue with external subtitles. Internal subs don't turn off after fast forwarding, navigating around, pausing, etc. - but external subtitles get disabled randomly.

You could consider to share the temp folder of the app in your network and then browse with your mede8er to that share or make a favorite to it.
Then start the movie in the app and you will see the movie file on the share. Play it then with your mede8er.

It works this way , but why the headache !!! please just fix it
imagine the difference between navigating between folders looking for the right one after you selected it first from pc or just click broadcast to mede8er and its there in no time . easy right ?  ;D ( it works but just for audio , i guess it won't be hard for you guys to ad video to it ) lol

Dlna is mime driven....data which tells the devices involved what is supported. If the dmr isn't getting video mime requests correctly it won't work. Users get video working with other dlna sources.

Its isn't as plug n play as people think.  Often its plug n not play.....because data to drive it isn't exchanged properly.

I believe its also auto airplay/dlna. That is extra logic pure dlna clients don't have. Indeed some dlna clients have lots of settings to get this so called plug n play system working. Bubbleupnp comes to mind.

But after the spontainius restart  , the wifi connection is gone , does not work anymore , and only thing that helps is to switch the med off with remoter and swith it on and let it bootup again.

I think, your screen is too dark. From this firmware, the screen parameters (brightness, contrast, etc.) are stored independently for picture and video playback. You have to set these paramteres first time for pictures, then everything will be OK later. I think, a factory reset do the job for you, but here is another way:
1. When you start the picture playback, and the screen is black, press the contextual menu button (to bottom-left direction near by the arrow buttons)!
2. Press UP then OK!
3. Press RIGHT for 1-2 seconds then press DOWN!
4. Press RIGHT for 1-2 seconds, and you will see the picture for now, you can set the default values (25) or anything else, you need.

The first 4k service in the UK will be BT Sports football, but that  requires a new BT TV box. The Med is a rip player. It will be ages before we anything to  rip, and need a player to  play those rips.  Besides which, all  the media companies will be trying to make sure the new 4k standards make ripping next to impossible.  They have failed with both DVD and BD.

The x3d has been out for some time. Regular updates occur as long as new features are in development, and those updates will also include bug fixes. Once there are no new features then it comes down fixing bugs only, and its been said before, some of the current bugs are unit specific, not every user has them, and without a problem unit in their hands its next to impossible for engineers to find the problem.

Many of the orher bugs are from newer users unaware that the issue reported is long standing related to how reltek designed the chip or sdk.  Such things cant be fixed.

Sanji do the early work themselves based on dev kits from chip makers. The main work is done by a prime contractor in China. At this point in the x3d life cycle the sub contractor no longer has a dedicated x3d team, the work load doesn't justify it. So  fixable bugs have to be accumulated to the point its economic for the prime contractor to do it.

Meanwhile Sanji are busy with dev kits for "possible" future platforms, and not on vacation. Its also been said before, Sanji wont make a new player for its own sake.  The current crop of H265 players could turn out to a cult de sac limited by too many pre Standard assumptions. Microsoft have now admitted Win 8 has too many issues and that win 10 is going to be much better, more like an uber version of win7 than an evolution on win 8. So not rushing to make a new player could prove to have been a sensible plan.

Its catch 22. If the problem was bigger than  a few lemons then they would be every where, including SA. So they would have easy access to problem units. Meanwhile the few with the lemons have a warranty and can return the unit to the seller. Its they who have the rules over no fault found etc.  They will apply those rules to any product they stock, not just Sanji ones.They may do so without checking if a brand has a no fault found warranty from the manufacturer.

Are you saying you have tried to return it and had it sent back as no fault found? If so, who was the seller?

What 5 lemons?  Some users think any disk problem is the one they are having. We often get cross posting in threads because of that.  

No manufacrure is going to fly the odd lemon back to check it out. That is why the warranty exists.

No fault found RMA  is routine with many retailers, especially those who sell pc components. Many now do sell home theatre kit , such as SCAN in the UK. Its best not to buy from those kind of sellers if you feel their terms "threatening".

Post by: jer1956 on July 17, 2015, 11:13:22 AM
To be honest, its a good thing that the like of John Lewis or Argos don't stock these things. They would be inundated with returns from people who expect it to work within 5 mins, or else assume  its faulty. PC component retailers expect those buying anything from them to have a large degree of knowledge, and hence spend a long time sorting out configuration issues before assuming the product to be faulty. Their no fault found RMA procedure exists to put off the casual pc component buyer who might think its easy. Otherwise they would be inundated with returns of working kit from users who found setting up too difficult.Same goes for networked media players.

So if your only comfortable buying from the likes of John Lewis with a no quibble returns policy, then you stick to buying what they are willing to stock under such a policy. That wont include anything as complex as a networked media player.

That dosnt mean I don't believe you may have a Lemmon. I asked if you had tried RMA'ing it only to have it returned? You didnt answer. There is no point moaning about standard RMA rules for PC type retailers if you haven't yet suffered first hand from them. Most of us just tick...do  you accept the terms and conditions... box,  without reading them. Where you unaware that you where buying from a PC type retailer until you asked about returning it?

Catch 22. It means if the problem was so wide spread it wasn't the case of a few lemons, then sanji would have no need to fly a problem box to SA because they would be piling up in their Stanton Service Centre. So far they have not had a player returned in SA because of  drives disappearing mid movie, nor lan I/o errors. Drives not appearing on boot is a different issue.

You are the only one complaining about a standard RMA procedure that pc type retailers have had for many years, well before Sanji started to make Mede8ers.

You still haven't said who the retailer is that has this term and condition of sale.  In many countries they are deemed responsible, not the manufacturer. To use the manufacturer warranty you have to by pass the retailer to report a problem. You are the first person I've come across who thinks retailers are responsible for up holding the manufacturers warranty. Posting on this forum dosnt count as reporting a problem for a warranty return.

I got my 800X3D today, and updated to 4.0.1 immediately, But to my surprise the units resets in the media library menu.  :(

When i press Menu or Setup, do my settings, and press Menu or Setup or Back, to get to the media library again, the unit resets. (Once again it only happens in the media library tab)

I have read in this thread about more people who have the same problem, that seems to be introduced since the 4.0.1 releases.

I don't want to revert back to 4.0.0 because of the much better subtitle outlines in 4.0.1, BUT......please get it fixed, and keep developing and removing bugs please.

It’s strange that there where a few 4.0.1 FW updates in 3 months, and since April the updating has stopped (Also X2 models)

What is going on.
