Thanks for the info. That certainly sounds like bad news but as I said it will only affect me minimally because of the way I usually use the Mede8er. It's a shame that they didn't use a built-in Realtek (or some other manufacturers) Wi-Fi and/or Ethernet chipset to offload the work from the processor. It reminds me of the real old days when computer manufacturers saved themselves 50 cents by replacing the motherboard 2400 bps modem chip with a software modem program.

They could have added seperate chips for some functions. But that would increase the price for everyone, making the Med more expensive than it needs to be for the vast majority of it's users. Those users would have bought from someone else instead anyway. So the Med would have ended up as a niche product in a niche market, a bit like Dune.

Let's see what the future will bring.... Those chips are becoming cheaper and cheaper.

It would be great if Sanji might contemplate leaving the "reference" board design to solve some problems. The issue is that as you do that you lose economy of scale, and costs rise faster than functionality. Now if Realtek said where crap at HDMI, and performance requires a seperate Lan controller, so the reference board now has seperate chips which every OEM gets, the costs, and economy of scale, would be the same for everyone.
Having said all that, they only need a little bit more umph to stream bluray iso over wi-fi. A processor that's twice as fast should do it.

Hi all, in order to make the long story short, with this specific media player and without spending more money, is there any way to satisfactory wirlessly (or through lan) stream heavy 1080p mkv or ripped BlueRays???
Is the "USB attached external HDD" the ONLY solution to have a 100% pure and clean viewing/hearing of HD material?

If you had gone though all the Network Case studies you will see my current network will stream M2TS at 40+ mbps. With V4 it can now also stream BDAV Folder Mode. M2TS files are the native format of bluray, and hence the codec chip in the MED. MKV requires unpacking and reduces the max throughput possible as described earlier. So ditch MKV and remux to transport streams. Remuxing is quick, and free!

With a lan cable it should be much easier to stream HD material.
With MKV even easier then using Blue Ray BDMV as it consumes less bandwith.

You have to ditch audio streams to do it. You can remove audio stream with M2TS and it will be even more efficient. |

Actually i thoroughly read http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,3613.msg25111.html#msg25111 and i had in mind Case 3 (as i could use instead of Belkin F5D7633uk4A Wireless (2.4 Ghz) 125 Hi-Speed ADSL Modem Router, the Bautec /g mode modem/router i had prior buying the Belkin one but i was originally asking whether this setup would work out for what i want/expect... Converting mkv to m2ts it's a different story, really have not done this before...perhaps this means spending another 2-3 weeks reading guides in the internet?!?!?!?     |

You really need wireless-N to stream between PC and router. The case study which had the 54G router was using an additional buffalo lan bridge to add wireless-N to the 54g router becuase 54g isn't good enough. You already have the wireless-N router, and it should do the same job by itself.
Creating m2ts is straght forward and has been discussed on the forum. You just download TSMuxer and follow the instrucstions.

Do you believe that the addition of a Wireless-lan bridge (like the Linksys one, which is part of one of the examples of networks setup posted in relevant thread in this forum) will really change the performance of wireless connection, in a way to be able to easily stream HD like heavy .mkv files or ripped BlueRays?
Does it worth to spend another Euro 75,00 - 80,00 in order to reinforce MED400x processor's capabilities?
Really I've got it for few days but I believe MED400x doesn't worth its cost |

I went on to give him some zero cost solutions to improve his network. |
