Full list of changes:

• Bookmark improvements:
  • File bookmarks are disabled when playing playlists, they are used only when playing individual files (press ENTER on a file).
  • The setting “Miscellaneous / Playback / Autoresume video files” allows to completely disable bookmarks for video files.
  • The setting “Miscellaneous / Playback / Autoresume audio files” allows to completely disable bookmarks for audio files.
  • The setting “Miscellaneous / Playback / Autoresume DVD” allows to completely disable bookmarks for DVD discs and DVD-folders/ISO-images.
• Added a support for tags in audio files (MP3, FLAC, WMA, M4A).
  • When tags are detected, they are automatically shown for the currently played file during music playback. The supports tags include: title, artist, album, track, year, comment.
  • The setting “Miscellaneous / Playback / Audio file tags” allows to disable reading and showing the tags (could be helpful eg if it does not work properly for some files).
  • Both Unicode and 8-bit tags are supported. The setting “Miscellaneous / Encodings / MP3 tag encoding” allows to force the specified encoding for tags in MP3 files.
• When music playback starts, a hint about INFO and MENU buttons is displayed (INFO –show details about the current track, MENU –
• show the playlist).
• Added support for USB WiFi adapter D-Link DWA-140 version B2 (previously only version B1 was supported).
• Added full support for discrete power-off and power-on IR commands. IR hex codes:
  • DISCRETE-POWER-ON: 00 BF 5F A0
  • DISCRETE-POWER-OFF: 00 BF 5E A1
  • The DISCRETE-POWER-ON IR command is handled exactly as POWER RC button when the player is in the standby mode, and is ignored when the player is turned on.
  • The DISCRETE-POWER-OFF IR command is handled exactly as POWER RC button when the player is turned on, and is ignored when the player is in the standby mode.
  • If the player is configured to perform full power-off instead of entering software standby, the DISCRETE-POWER-OFF and DISCRETE-POWER-ON commands perform full power-off and power-on.
• Added a possibility to easily format a non-initialized drive (eg HDD) just by pressing ENTER of the drive item on the main screen.
• “dune_folder.txt”: “background_order” parameter now supports the following set of values ​​(instead of “first” and “last” as took place in the previous firmware version):
  • “before_all”: the same as “first” in the previous firmware version.
  • “before_icons”: the same as “last” in the previous firmware version.
  • “after_all”: a new option, allowing to paint the custom background after everything else (including file icons).
• “dune_folder.txt”: added a possibility to hide file icons (w/o using dummy fully-transparent icon). Syntax:
  • “paint_icons = no” (default is “yes”).
• Added more menu languages: Hungarian, Polish. Some other languages ​​updated/improved.
• The configuration of built-in FTP server adjusted to allow “FXP” transfers.
• Added support for playback of video files with “.trp” extension (no more need to rename them).
• Improved the speed of startup of specific MKV files, which previously could take too long to start (that could even be considered by the user as hangup in some cases).
• Bugfix: playing a file with an unknown length (such as MP3 with VBR bitrate) caused playback crash (this bug was introduced in the previous beta firmware version).
• Bugfix: playing/reading files from SMB share could crash in some cases (the bug introduced by SMB optimizations in the previous beta firmware version) (plus some other SMB-related bugs fixed).
• Bugfix: returning to file browser (eg after playback) caused crash if current folder had dune_folder.txt with custom background image.
• Bugfix: specific Blu-ray images could not be played in some cases.
• Bugfix: after switching to TrueHD audio track in MKV file, stuttering could take place in specific cases.
• Bugfix: “dune_folder.txt” / “paint_captions = no” did not work properly in some cases (when the filename was too long and scrolled, it was shown despite this setting).
