does it support 4TB USB drives? and stable na ba playing 1080p mkv files and BDrip movies?

not sure sa 4TB.  tried 1TB palang.

stable and 1080p and bdrips using mx player. don't expect too much sa xbmc kasi work in progress parin... as per forum 720p parin...

personally i cant tell the difference between 720 and 1080. sana may makapag sabi. :)

^ baka kaya mag detect ni xtreamer na x-over cable. i suggest you x-over you cable or use switch.

eto.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ethernet-crossover-cable/

minix > xover ethernet > wd

it should work by principle. it works on all devices i've tried except minix. pero dapat gumana. wala kasi ako NAS.

@flashDB thank you very much sa suggestion mo na mag-cross over cable....it simplify things at gumagana ang WD My Book Live sa laptop ko even w/o a router...and if I need to use the router at dun to i-connect yung WD to connect to Minix...gagana pa din....solve na yung problem ko...thanks again...

this seems to be the architecture that other NMT vendors are moving towards, but looks to be too raw, as when PCH first came into market ... i'll pass on getting this one and wait for an updated hardware and more stable firmware/apps

^ there are stable firmwares for x7.  pero yeah you can wait further for sure better hardware will come

@nallasartal - xover cable point to point. pwede yan narin gamitin mo pag nag connect ka sa switch/router provided auto sense yun.

update lang sa Minix 7 ko....I have installed the firmware created by HardwareGuru Rom 3 please link: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?10061-HardwareGuru-Rom-03-Firmware-for-Neo-X7

It is not rooted, so hindi maka void ng warranty....1080p full sya and therefor not using "overlay" technique of the Official Minix FW...tweaked the RAM, that is according to the thread cited above...noticeable ang speed nya....so far after about a week observing the Minix X7 with the HardwareGuru Rom...it is very stable and fast than the Official FM ng Minix. Note the latest FW of Minix (the one which can be obtained thru OTA) has some reported bugs since minadali yan before the holidays in HK and Minix will be fixing it after the said holidays...

Those planning to buy the Minix X7-mini, Minix X5, and Minix X5-mini...better think twice...maraming nag-complain dahil mabagal ang updates nila compared to our Minix X7...caveat....

ako na try ko na rin yung Quick Shot V2 nang The Nitro Team 1080p din yun. Subukan ko rin yung kay Guru pag may time. Sa ngayon ang gamit ko rom ay yung Xtreamer Multiconsole ang ganda nang UI, kaso you need air mouse para ma maximize ang gamit. Wala naman ako masyadong full HD videos kaya enjoy ko muna itong UI nang xtreamer.

Just to update....there is now a newly released firmware created by HardwareGuru Rom 4, the successor of the one I previously posted, just click the link if interested: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?11045-HardwareGuru-Rom-04-Firmware-for-Neo-X7

Just like Rom 3, the firmware does not need to unroot the Minix X7, so it does not void the warranty....I have not tested it...but I will start downloading it soon and share my inputs...

By the way, I never had any issue with Rom 3 and Minix X7 runs smoothly with that firmware so I expect the same thing with Rom 4...unlike the official Rom of Minix which used "overlay" method to obtain 1080p (so basically it is based on 720p), the HardwareGuru Roms 3 and 4 are 1080p full....

Since my system is simple Minix X7 > TV, so I have not tested myself on other concerns, but for the info of those interested...here are some comments on HardwareGuru Rom 4 @ www.freaktab......

"HDMI PASSTHROUGH is working! - first thing tested here.. MXPlayer with DTS 5.1 is tested. No XBMC yet, will report back later on!

"EDIT: XBMC loaded with rom dosent do HDMI! - just install a "libmedia Hack" version and all is good, have justXBMCv4 with 1080P and DD/DTS 5.1 running now.

This might help some: 

If you cannot get your PC to recognize the Minix device, try setting the "SUPPORTLOWUSB" option to TRUE in the RKBatchTool's config file.

Has anyone tried the "MINIX Metro launcher" for Minix X7? It is official since it is created by the developer of Minix click here: http://www.minixforums.com/threads/minix-metro-launcher-evaluation-build.4327/

I am satisfied with my HardwareGuru Rom 03 but I am tempted to have an appearance of a Windows 8.1.....hehehe

@twistergear, yung extreamer na firmware requires rooted yung Minix 7?

hindi na kailangan root just flash it using rkbatchtool included na sa download: http://www.xtreamer.net/downloads/xtreamer-multi-console/firmware/firmware-release-2-4-1-27.aspx it takes longer to finish flashing gawa nang mga pre-installed apps nang xtreamer pero I'm sure marami kang mapapakinabangan sa mga apps. Open kasi net dyan sa Pinas! Meron din sariling xbmc ang xtreamer.

Note: 1080p overlay lang ito pero rooted firmware na siya. At "NO AUDIO" coming from earphone jack, wala kasi earphone jack ang xtreamer. PERO NA SOLVE ko ito by flashing the new beta firmware from minix version 10 http://www.minixforums.com/threads/neo-x7-pre-010-firmware-march-2014.4494/ just follow the minix installation instructions, copy the update.zip file to your minix (device) sdcard using any file explorer, minix will automatically detect the update file just click install. Then here is the weird thing, after the installation (100% progress bar) you will be stuck in recovery mode just navigate and select "back" option until minix reboots itself. You will notice na wala na yung xtreamer boot animation, it will be replaced by minix animation and you will get a "Firmware Update Failed" message (ignore it) and delete the update.zip file from your device sdcard. So, parang na overwrite lang yung ibang files like buildprop and audio files kaya na fix yung no audio from earphone jack, pero yung full xtreamer UI and Apps Drawer still remain. -- USE the original minix remote to select and navigate inside xtreamer recovery mode.

=== pag hindi mo nagustohan, you can always go back to stock using RKBatchTool or custom rom using RKAndroidTool ===

When you say rooted firmware yung xtreamer does it mean rooted na rin yung minix x7? Btw newbie lang ako at gusto ko simple lang ang na process. Nagulohan ako sa mga pasikotsikot mo....hehehe.... I am afraid na ma brick ang devise. Kaya yung hardwarehuru palang nagamit koaside sa official minix fw

heheh magulo ba? Tama ka pre-rooted na yung xtreamer firmware so rooted na ang minix mo pag na install mo na ito. Sige forget the "no audio" fix, sa xtreamer muna tayo.

Note:

1. RKBatchTool 1.7 ang gagamitin mo na tool para sa xtreamer firmware. Hit the "RESTORE" button to flash the xtreamer firmware not the "update" button.

Video Tutorial:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbGp8WL4vu4

2.Since rooted na nga ito, you can now use the RKAndroidTool to try and flash different 1080p kernels, Open the RKAndroidTool and uncheck all the items (addresses) except item number 4 which is the address for the kernel (since kernel lang ang kailangan). Hit Run and you are done!

Sample Picture: (Click the small "blue" box at the right side of the panel to select your kernel image and hit "Run" to flash the kernel image)


===for additional info only===
nang i-update ko yung xtreamer ko to minix beta10 to fix (earphone) audio, nawala ang root nang device (According to Antutu).

===== Don't worry the only way you can brick your device is by power failure and flashing a firmware that is meant for a different chipset! ==== pero try it at your own risk!

Palagay ko kailangan orig na PS3 controller, itong binili ko eh sa official PS3 shop ko binili. Kailangan rooted ang firmware kasi, gagamit ka nang 3rd party app yung "Sixaxis Controller" (requires root permission) ito gagamitin mo for pairing the ps3 controller to minix (via OTG and then wireless) maraming how to videos sa youtube.

Medyo mahirap nga lang i set yung touch emulation or key mappings hangang ngayon di ko pa makuha hehe, pero sa games like asphalt 8, shadow gun magagamit mo sya agad (pero syempre activate muna yung Sixaxis Application before starting the game) at sa PSP emulators naman ok din sya magagamit agad without configuring the touch emulation. Na try ko na PSP games like Burnout Dominator, Burnout Legends at Tekken.

== nga pala firmware ver. 8 (rooted) ang gamit ko with quickshot v2 kernel.


medyo OT, anong speakers gamit mo sa setup mo? :)

Naku mumurahing samsung micro component lang iyan, 120 RMS lang hehehe. ala akong avr dito sa abroad.

sir tanong ko lang po sa mga naka minix neo x7, gagana kaya yung bluetooth keyboard ko? may bluetooth dongle sya para sa pc, na try ko na sya sa ps3 without using the dongle via bluetooth ng ps3 gumana sya.. dinovo mina pala yung keyboard..salamat po.

Palagay ko gagana yan sa minix kahit wala na yung dongle kasi may built-in bluetooth ang minix x7 unlike sa pc mo wala syang bluetooth kaya kailangan nang dongle. Pero itong keyboard and mouse ko di gagana kung walang dongle kasi di ko rin alam kung anong signal gamit nito di naman ako expert hehehe.

One thing you can try is, kung meron kang android phone, turn on your phone's bluetooth and search for devices, pag nakita nang phone mo yung keyboard mo as "input" I'm sure gagana yan sa minix, same thing lang sa ps3 console mo.

No, it won't play h.265 files.  It doesn't have the CPU horsepower.  You will need to get the U1 to be able to play h.265 files.
