Download Firmware HDi Dune 120202_1544 beta

HDi Dune has released new beta firmware for several of its media players, such as the Base 3.0, the Prime 3.0, the Max and the Smart. These full-HD media players are built around a Sigma Designs 8642 media processor and are characterized by great ease of use and extensive options. More information about these media players can be found in this topic on GoT.

The firmware has version number 120202_1544 and it also contains all changes from firmware 111122_0159, which, among other things, introduced a new playback function especially for Bluray iso images and bmdv folders. The new firmware includes an alternative option to return to factory settings, in which certain settings such as network shortcuts and favorites are still preserved. The full changelog can be found below:

Added “Soft Reset” function:

• Now the “Reset Settings” function proposes two choices: full reset to factory defaults (the same as took place in previous firmware versions), and so called “soft reset”.
• The soft reset clears the settings only partially and is more convenient in cases when the user does not need full factory reset.
• The following things are cleared by the soft reset:
  • All settings from Setup menu.
  • All plugin settings.
  • All cached data and data stored by the player for its own needs.
  • All bookmarks (remembered playback positions).
• The following things (which may be hard to reconfigure from the scratch) are kept by the soft reset:
  • All configured network folders.
  • All favorites configured in the main menu.
  • All installed plugins.

Improvements for the users of big remote controls:

• Added the setting allowing to choose the behavior POP UP MENU RC button: toggle playlist/TV menu (as took place in previous firmware versions), or toggle the new functions menu (introduced in the latest firmware version) (this is the default behavior) . The old behavior (toggle playlist/TV menu) can be convenient for the users used to it. Enabling the old behavior makes the functions menu unavailable (and thus it may be reasonable only for users of big remote controls, which have dedicated buttons allowing to trigger various playback functions w/o the need to use the functions menu). The setting: ‘Playback / Preferences / POP UP MENU button’.
• On the models which are shipped by default with big remote control, LEFT/RIGHT RC buttons during playback now trigger the time seek function (as took place in previous firmware versions), rather then the volume function (as was introduced in the latest firmware verion ).

Tvigle.ru application improvements:

• Added setting allowing to manually control if the application is shown or not on the main screen: ‘Setup / Applications / Tvigle / Shown on the main screen’.
