Download Firmware Mede8er MED500X 2.0.2

Mede8er has already released new firmware for its MED500Xmedia players, this time with 2.0.2 as the version number. This device is built around an RTD107 processor from Realtek and is therefore able to play photo, video and audio files on the TV or home cinema center without any problems. For more information and user experiences, we refer you to this topic on our forum. The list of changes for this release is as follows:

Firmware V2.0.2

Note that this is an interim release as many of the core issues brought up with respect to the hard drive format requirement, etc. need to be fixed within the SDK itself – this will necessitate an SDK rebuild once more and it will of course take more time. This release does not resolve the Mede8er-formatted hard drive requirement at this time.

PLEASE NOTE:

If you do not have a hard drive in your Mede8er, or your internal hard drive was not formatted using the Mede8er format facility then please read the following:

There is a fundamental requirement within these V2.x releases with the new SDK that demands an internal HDD with the Linux partitions for the purpose of conducting SAMBA/NAS networking. Those using only external USB drives are also affected.

Please bear with us as this is investigated and tested – the developers are currently working on this issue together with Realtek engineers to resolve and provide an update.

ChangeLog:

• Fixed audio folder navigation problem on NFS.
• Fixed samba login without user name
• Fixed crash issue as result from USB unplugging
• Fixed DVD ROM issue – problem with not ejecting.
• Fixed DVD setup menu CMD_ANGLE button would show teletext menu.
• Fixed UPnP problems
• Added video “Digital Noise Reduction” option to setup menu**
• Fixed subtitle font issues with certain languages’s special characters, etc
• Fixed file extension .wav .divx

** It would be suggested that you change your DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) setting to OFF (AUTO is the install default) if you experience a ‘soft’ picture while watching SD movies on a large screen TV – this will sharpen the image considerably .
