what about if those new features will be buggy or will introduce more bugs
dont forget that bugs left behind are introduced by the same people that it suppose to add new features
to create bugs is normal... but to not resolve them is not normal ... or is something else
or maybe all of this is part of market strategy

This is the situation Sanji find them selves in far too often. Sanji felt Casablabca for 1073 had far too many new bugs to expect users to live with, just to get a fancier GUI. Ryan was happy to put their users in that situation though, and it's the fact Ryan moved to Casablanca which is used as evidence against Sanji for not doing it. All chip makers live with a 6 month cycle. So some problems will get fixed during that 6 months through, others will feed into the firmware of the next chip which is already in pre-production, small scale porduction for the likes of Sanji to devleop their code for, and others will feed into the "design" of the chip after that. So the "demand" from users using the 1073 to have specifc services installed isn't seen in the 6 month lifetime of the 1073. It isn't even supported in the next gen chip, the 1185. No, it's only with the 1186 do you see Android as a plausible mechanism for user installs arrive. This strategy has been followed By Sigma for some time, and they havn't gone bust due to the frustations users have with any particluer chip. |

I think you're wrong.... in fact, I don't think... I'm sure
... don't matter what are the reasons...
regarding Casablanca 's SDK.... I know a term API
now thinking further... and knowing some inside ideas....
... well... as long as realtek is focused on new sdk/ processors... then to achive second half of old sdk is more easy then before
you can encrypt your work(is true... not for long ), and to add new features to 1st m8r and a further gadgets line
anyway... my machine do what it supposed to do and a little more...
for me X2 or Xn generation is trespass between viewing one picture at a time and viewing 2 pics at a time
look at network or video render.... is the same root code
Venus or Casablanca.... damn.. is not that hard... at least Venus has better and quality hw
both are applying to same rules of existence API
anyway... I do not blame Sanji actions... but I can blame the non-actions

Hi all,
I really think that if mede8er decides to not update the 500X FW anymore that they should make the source public so that any other developer/community can modify it.

the question is how they do this if closed sources aren't available ??  they just keep work at sdk3 and raised his limits .... id not a ball breaker though .... but is improved and offered as official release ... on the other hand , the other rival company that keep development on GUI2.0 did some big steps on system stability .... ... but the way of how GUI 2.0 is build is a total f..ck up .... is more a reorganized GUI then a new GUI ... a bad one .... is nothing usefull there, nothing new , and a complete mess up regarding logic of implementing features (which in that case are just common functions). this is about GUI ...... but earlier i was speaking for audio/ video / samba improvment ..... this is what i better at them |

Hi all,
Maybe a stupid question. But were there any firmware update for the old MD500 since April 2011? And if not, are there going to be any firmware updates in the future for this old horse?
Regards.
Pieter

The reality is the Mede8er has chosen not to support the older models anymore. That fact that there is a chipset lifecycle doesn't interfere with development on it for new features.
As an example, I am using a WD HD Live in my bedroom which is older than this Mede8er and still get ongoing updates. What is even more surprising is that they keep on adding new features, it is not just about bugfixing. I decided to try the Mede8er, but can already see my next machine will not be a Mede8er. My cheap WD has much more features than the Mede8er. I also had the Netgear Entertainer EVA8000 before, which was also a very nice unit
And as I am constantly giving advice to others on technology, this is definately one I will tell them to avoid if they don't want to be left behind.
@Mede8er - Any long term business strategy would include to look after your customers that made you!

I think Sanji can bank on the fact that many of its customer base will not be returning or recommending their products. Myself included. Not continuing the support on an existent product line due to the "Realtek SDK" is a poor cop-out of an excuse and is an insult to the customers. In future, I will vote with my wallet and choose another brand. And I will recommend anyone else I speak to, in person or on media forums, to do the same.
