Now, this is locally available and at budget price for a basic NMT (no network).
Hope some new owners would share their experiences/reviews/comments here. I would like to know how fast it scans the connected HDD (what size GB/TB) upon power on. Does this have jukebox and how fast does it load the pages/images (and when switching pages). As I would like to replace my outdated 1st gen NMT.
I really like the looks of this unit. Nice and clean simple lines. The menu looks nice and modern also.

Am wondering what that EX-IR port at the back is for. I would also like to know what the remote looks like.
-
i think that port is to extend the infrared sensor in case you will place the player inside cabinet or behind the TV.

Kind of weird for this budget NMT to have. But not bad to have it thou. Is Xtreamer selling this as an accessory, or any 3rd party product would do?
Hope somebody got hold of the user manual for this.
Anybody know what specific chipset (1xx5DD) does this unit have? Am wondering also why they indicated 1xx5DD instead of being specific with the chipset. Are they planning to change the chipset to a higher one anytime soon? Better to have 1185 instead of 1055?
-
Do we have any owners of this unit yet? Hope somebody would post their feedback on the performance of their unit here.
Is it true that it is also capable of playing 3D SBS?
-
What??? 2 seconds delay on the menus when using the remote?
See link:

If true, not acceptable then.
-
This should be better than Kaiboer H1055 because of an optical out, which Kaiboer doesn't have and with the same chipset 1055.
But it seems that no one is buying this unit. Even the Xtreamer official forum have not a single post for Xtreamer Elvira. I doubt if this will sell. Might be better to get the Sidewinder 3 instead at more than twice the price. Or go for another brand.
-
Which is a better buy for a basic all around media player, this Elvira or the Measy A1hd?

Never had any of those. Performance wise, no idea.
On aesthetics, I prefer the Xtreamer Elvira. On Menus, GUIs, I prefer Elvira. On chipset I prefer Elvira - Realtek 1055DD instead of Measy A1HD - Boxchip F10 (what is this???). Although have not seen the remote of the Elvira yet.
Price range is a bit close. Xtreamer Elvira might have firmware updates as compared to A1HD.
Haven't seen much review of the Elvira yet.

Agree ako sir with all the things you said, everything seems to be better with the Elvira. Only the actual performance is the question since no actual feedback yet from a pdvd member.
I'll try to test one tom and if it plays good naman I might get one. :)

This might help a little bit, though it is in thai...

Bought this one last sat, so far I'm happy with my purchase. Picture quality is quite good and it was able to play all my mkvs flawlessly. Boot up is quick and I'm quite surprised it has alot more options in this player compared to my previous gen1 wdtv. And according to the system menu, it supports firmware updates. :D
-
So how was the speed when moving the cursor, or selecting an item? As compared to WDTV Gen1, is it the same speed or faster/slower? I have a WDTV Gen 1 also (which I suppose is a little less than 1 second).
How about the speed of booting up Elvira with hard disk (internal/external) attached? WDTV Gen 1 is traditionally slow boot-up when connected to a hard disk, specially with over 800 movies.
It is good to have someone here with a actual unit to give feedback.
-
It's true there is a lag when you navigate on the main menu screen, approx about 1-2 secs to go up or down each item. But once your inside the sub menu, no more lag.
When turning on the unit with a 1tb ext hdd, main menu will appear after about 4-5 secs after the xtreamer loading screen. Then for example you select movies option, thumbnails automatically load up on the screen quite quickly. List mode makes it even quicker.
One thing that surprised me is the zoom option. You can actually adjust the horizontal and vertical size of the image in small increments until you get your desired picture size or when trying to eliminate the black horizontal bars (which I really hate) of a movie to maximize our wide screen TVs. I think most players only have fixed steps when adjusting this feature. My friends couldnt believe that the image they were watching was already zoomed in as there was almost no degradation in picture quality and the image was still very sharp and smooth as compared to my previous wdtv which made the picture quite grainy and soft when selecting zoom1 and made the image look like a bd ripped dvd movie.
-
Thanks for your review/findings/experiences.
As the price of this had come down at my "suki" store, very affordable.
How's the mkv movies fast forward/rewind function and its skip increments? Hows the subtitle sizes, position, color, outline? Does this support internal HDD (and size)? Are you using internal or external HDD? How's the unit's temperature?
Hope that you would share more of your findings.
-
uhmm ask lang po.. saan po meron pinakamurang Elvira? and how much? cheapest na nakita ko ay 2200 sa listening megamall, meron pa ba mas mababa sa 2200? compare sa measy A1.. which is better? thanks..
-
Lowest I've seen is php2,025.00 (promo cash only). Sa may Gilmore PC store (name withheld) iyon along Aurora Blvd. Make sure that you are a member of www.t*p*dpc.com just to be sure, so that they could give you the said price.
I don't have one. Am asking for more feedback still.

Im selling mine for 1900 only, weeks ko pa lang nagagamit...i need kasi ng may network connection contact me 09162420652

You can do quick skip during playback with the arrow buttons on remote. up-ff 30secs/right-ff 3mins/down back 1min/left-back 10secs. Fast forward button upto 32X. If you're looking for a specific scene you can go to menu then select GOTO to select exact chapter number or go directly to the exact time you want within the movie. If the file has subtitles, you can adjust the position, encoding, font, size, border size and color and font color. Unit does not support internal HDD and what Im using is an external HDD. The unit just feels slightly warm during use. Other extras would be pic adjustment (brightness/contrast/hue/saturation), last memory function, copy/delete files from HDDs (not sure on this yet but i saw the option on the menu), browser/search, audio button to select audio track, independent setting for optical and hdmi audio (pcm/multi channel), direct resolution adj button, preview function.
Hay dami, I can't remember na yung iba hehe.. :D
-
I'm interested po sa Extreamer Elvira, will buy this on sunday. thanks po sa mga feedback's niyo mga sir. :)
-
Is it possible to add movie info for the movies? How is that done? :) thanks!
-
Bought the elvira a couple of weeks back. Am really enjoying the unit. PQ is great, haven't really maximized the audio potential since its only hooked up to the tv.
The observations from the other users are true that scrolling in the home menu does have a few seconds of delay after pressing on the remote, but once you are in your movies/files directory, selecting and scrolling through your collection is faster.
And yup, the zoom function is great, you get to customize the amount of zoom you want to fill up your screen. Boot-up and scanning of the external hd takes about 10-15secs or so.
I have one negative observation though, i have been able to play all sorts of video formats smoothly but in some very few movie files (its either an .avi or mkv file) the unit reboots itself upon hitting play. Is this because of the way the move was encoded or its a problem with the unit? Any users experience this? most of the movies i play are 720p and from a 500gb external. The "problematic" files play fine on the laptop though.
btw has anyone tried upgrading their firmware? I came across this link
http://forum.xtreamer.net/page/index.html/_/latest-firmware-announcements/xtreamer-elvira-firmware-update-r253
-
In my case naman with some very few files the unit would freeze and the tv screen would turn blank and unit becomes unresponsive with the remote. I would have to unplug it for a few secs, replug it, then everything would be normal and the file starts to play normally.
Re the firmware, I think your link is the same as this one, http://xtreamer.net/downloads/xtreamer-elvira/elvira-firmware/evlira-firmware-ver-3-0-0.aspx (http://xtreamer.net/downloads/xtreamer-elvira/elvira-firmware/evlira-firmware-ver-3-0-0.aspx) This is version 3.0.0. I checked mine and its also the same.
http://xtreamer.net/downloads/xtreamer-elvira/elvira-firmware.aspx (http://xtreamer.net/downloads/xtreamer-elvira/elvira-firmware.aspx) It describes ver 3.0.0 as the factory default firmware.
Have you checked the version on your unit?
-
My firmware is also 3.0.0. But it doesnt have the features mentioned in the link. Anyhow i wont be upgrading the fw pa naman.
My fear with the reboots on certain movie files...will that affect the external harddrive? Will it get corrupted or something?
-
Di naman siguro ma corrupt yung hdd sir.
I tried doing the firmware update kanina and it worked! :D
They should have changed the firmware version, all the said improvements under the release notes have been added na on my unit. :) Maybe this might cure the bugs we have experienced.
Only downside is, still no improvement re main menu navigation lag.
-
ok cool. i'll try to upgrade this week. hope it solves our problem nga. thanks!
-
Hi, does the Elvira bitstream both Dolby True HD and DTS MA? Because sa Xtreamer site parang Dolby True HD lang yun nakasulat sa bitsteam.
Thanks.

Bought an Elvira last night at G'hills, 2150 php at JC Solutions. This is to replace my WD Live as it does not read some of the files that are playable to other media players. After firing it up I found out it can't access my Seagate GoFlex 2 TB. Adaptor power was on but the small pilot light at the bottom of the HD won't lit. It works on USB flash memory and 340GB playing the 7GB Avengers with no problem. Before I left this morning I hook up my WD and everything was back to normal. Anything I can do about this, software upgrade?

remove USB, plug 90% of the way, and pilot will light up.
seems it happens when you plug a USB 3.0 device to a USB 2.0 port or a usb 2.0 device into a USB host port.
-
That was fast. Tried that already, moved the plug mm by mm :). My GoFlex is a 2.0 usb only device. Thanks for the quick reply.

so ayaw pa rin? eh teka, ano file system ng device mo? baka may filesystem mismatch si elvira at goflex. pero to the very least dapat mag ilaw yung device. No LED lights sa device, eh... physical connection ang problem mo
-
yun nga eh...eh di ko ma test yun cable ng GoFlex kasi ibang klase yun plug sa HD side niya. Pero sa WD live gumagana yun GoFlex. Need pa bang i-partition yun GoFlex? naka NTFS naman siya.
-

di naman NTFS is supported, hmm. if makita mo sa PC, pero di mo makita sa NMT, at least alam mo dun sa NMT localized ang problem
-
ah no problem sa laptop kasi nag lilipat ng tv series si misis sa goflex using the cable. try ko ulit maya pag uwi. and mag research din ako while in the office :) Thanks again.
-
thank you toys4geeks. that 90% surely did the trick. morr like 80% . it's working fine now. :)

Meron ba sa settings ng elvira yung option to convert dts/dolby to stereo para lumabas yung sound sa TV?
TIA
-
Yes there is.
You can use the analog connection which will give you stereo sound or if its hdmi, you can set it 2 channel pcm.
-
...or you can set the audio/HDMI output to 2.1 ch if you are using HDMI connections to your TV.
Last night I tried transferring a 1.4 gb file from the 2TB HD to a 8gb flash drive. File error daw. The 8gb is only 1/4 filled. But when I tried it from 8gb to 2TB successful. Weird :)

How to convert a FAT volume or a FAT32 volume to NTFS
Note Although the chance of corruption or data loss during the conversion is minimal, we recommend that you perform a backup of the data on the volume that you want to convert before you start the conversion.
To convert an existing FAT or FAT32 volume to NTFS, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
2. At the command prompt, type the following, where drive letter is the drive that you want to convert:
convert drive letter: /fs:ntfs
For example, type the following command to convert drive E to NTFS:
convert e: /fs:ntfs
Note If the operating system is on the drive that you are converting, you will be prompted to schedule the task when you restart the computer because the conversion cannot be completed while the operating system is running. When you are prompted, click YES.
3. When you receive the following message at the command prompt, type the volume label of the drive that you are converting, and then press ENTER:
The type of the file system is FAT.

I've had the Elvira for 3 weeks now and I'm very happy with it. Great value for 2100.
Before Elvira I tried the Xtreamer Sidewinder 2 and the Elvira works just as well- as a media player.
Wala lang sya online capabilities, but I never really got to use it in the Xtreamer anyway, since I have a computer.
Regarding the slow browsing in the main menu, I found a solution to this. Just press the home button at the upper right corner of the remote, and it will automatically take you to the sub menu which is much faster.
-
Got an Elvira last week and notice this small problem. Wondering if this is normal.
It auto powers on when I turn on the switch of the surge suppressor.
Also, I tried to remove the AC adapter and plug it in again to verify this is really happening, and it did happen.
It seems the unit, upon receiving electricity, powers on automatically without the need to press the power button from the unit or the remote.
Is this a feature or a defect?

If this is so, then it seems to work the same as my WDTV Gen1 NMT. Upon plugging the AC adapter to AC power, the unit runs on immediately. No need to press Power-On on the remote. Isn't a big problem w/ me anyway.
Thanks for letting us know that Elvira behaves the same way.

Same thing with mine. It was designed that way. Like Ppoooh, I had a wdtv before and the elvira behaves the same way when I switch on the voltage regulator.
-
It's not a big problem, but really annoying.
I just hope they can fix this with future firmware release. :)
Thanks for your replies

Get a power strip with individual outlet switch for more power control.

My friend asked me to test out his Elvira because he was encountering problems and this is what I experienced
1. random reboots (no signal then it will start the boot up process again)
2. black screen hang (the screen will show no video/audio and you must pull out the plug)
anyone else encountered something similar?
Thanks.
-
Just bought one today, no issues so far. I will let update the thread if there is any.

Try upgrading the firmware first. If problem persists, go back to the seller and claim the warranty

dati na akong member dito pero ngayon lang ako nakakapag post ulit dahil i newly bought an xtreamer elvira! so far quite satisfied naman ako esp. for its price, except i experience random reboot (no signal at mag rerestart) with the default firmware after couple of hours testing parang okay naman.
kanina i decided to update to the latest version which is v3.0.0 r20120726 21:56:43 via manual update on the settings menu with a 4gb flash disk and sobrang na praning ako kasi nag failed nung 1st try ko, parang 10mins ata at lumabas install error! bluecore.video.lzma failed! please reboot.
I thought bricked na yung unit, but what I did is unplugged it and just plugged it back, then when I hit the power button, nag upgrade ulit and this time it only took like 2 mins. then I'm back at the menu settings with the new firmware. So far I find it much more responsive than the default firmware.
I did move around the menus and parang much faster sya, did play a couple movies at okay naman..
I hope tuloy2 nato... as in na praning ako sa install error kanina, i thought good bye 2k na! hehe..

Bro, san mo binili ung elvira mo? for 2k only? is it covered by one year warranty? sa sights & sounds kc 2.3k...
-
@ridawn
actually its not really 2k, its P2,170 - from Enigma Computers.. I'm from Bacolod bro, and they have several branches all over the philippines (http://enigma-phil.com.ph/branch.php) and yes, one year warranty din kasi sa Enigma one year warranty lahat ng products nila... They are the cheapest so far here in our place when it comes to pc stuff.
-
Sir anong firmware kinuha mong version yung european ba? naginstall ako pero di nagtutuloy bumabalik lang sa main menu but there's no message of failed update.
-
@mm2002 - yes, EU firmware yung kinuha ko... pano kaba nag update? follow mo ba yung nasa site nila (yung unplug/press power button)? or you did it via "manual update" dun sa settings menu? kasi yung sa akin - i went to try first the unplug/press power button sequence pero I cannot get it to update - palaging dumideresto lang sa main menu... so what I did was update it via "manual update" - nag install process sya but eventually nag install error ako... so I unplugged the unit and press power button - dun nag update sya at naging successful.
@all
but I now have a different problem - it has something to do with my newly bought HDMI cable. Parang namimili ata ng cable kasi minsan "no signal" sya, mag boboot screen lang yung elvira then no signal na...
So far I've swapped it on a different HDMI cable at parang okay naman... I don't know if it has to do with the HDMI ports of our 32" LG LH70 (aka scarlet).. coz the new cable is under HDMI 2 and the old HDMI cable under HDMI 1 which is used by our home theater, when I swap the them, the old HDMI cable under HDMI 1 works fine on my elvira and the new HDMI cable is now being used by our home theater under HDMI 2....
I saw someone on an old post with the same LG LCD model but a different xtreamer - at same issue.. I have yet to hear from his response.
-
Thanks dmist24 yup i did the first one unplug/press power the same thing happened then i try yung 2nd one parang walang nangyayari, I will try it again mamaya, I have a post before, nagtry ka na mag slide show ng pictures with background music? ginawa ko to pero while pictures ang being display one lang ang nagplay after that wala nang background music I try to choose sana 1 album pero parang hindi pwede. gusto ko sana magplay ng mga christmas wallpapers with christmas songs sa background :)

I don't know if it has to do with the HDMI ports of our 32" LG LH70 (aka scarlet).. coz the new cable is under HDMI 2 and the old HDMI cable under HDMI 1 which is used by our home theater, when I swap the them, the old HDMI cable under HDMI 1 works fine on my elvira and the new HDMI cable is now being used by our home theater under HDMI 2....
I saw someone on an old post with the same LG LCD model but a different xtreamer - at same issue.. I have yet to hear from his response.
Make sure that the TV is powered up first before the NMT is powered up. Otherwise, possible that the TV will show "no signal" message. That is my case using my NMT (WDTV Gen 1). If the power up sequence is reversed, my NMT will set its output to another video port (RCA). I suppose my NMT have a detection feature which defaults to RCA if it doesn't detect the TV on its HDMI port. Don't know if this is applicable in your case.
-
@Ppoooh
yes, the TV is always powered up first. I have a hunch na baka the home theater system which is using the HDMI 1 port (uses an old HDMI cable) is turned on first before my Elvira which uses the HDMI 2 port (uses a new HDMI cable), so parang na sset ng tv first yung HDMI connection sa port 1 and not port 2... but if I switch them, gumagana agad yung elvira sa port 1 using the old HDMI cable.
Ang gulo i-explain pero I think you have a point na probably due to the power up sequence ng tv, NMT at home theater ko, na hindi agad ma-aactivate yung HDMI connection.
-
yes sir i can read the flac files
you misunderstood the question, what I was asking for is "gap-less playback" feature.
for the benefit of the other members, the answer is NO (and as per xtreamer forums, it will not be supported in the future as well, at least with models - even on the sidewinder 3 that i decided to get.)
-
Just got this NMT, overall satisfied naman ako. Meron lang few files na mahina yung audio, mostly mga AC3 and a few DTS. Kelangan i crank up yung receiver para lang may marinig ka. And also yung subtitles, pag italics sya, it will show <i> instead na italic na subs. Kaya ba ng firmware upgrade to?

this is not the fault of either the receiver or the player (assuming that the AC3/DTS audio is bitstreamed, and that your receiver is properly calibrated)
movie soundtrack is typically encoded with full dynamic range, adhering to reference levels. this means soft sounds can be barely audible, and very loud sounds can be earsplitting.
technically, the issue is that everything else is too loud (usually with tv/music with low dynamic range.)
-
mga sir. may 3d ledtv po ako sa bahay. kung gagamit ba ako nitong xtreamer elvira kung magpeplay ako ng mp4/mkv na HSBS madedetect pa din kaya ng 3d ledtv na 3d yung pliniplay ko? salamat

Pero pag sa PC ok ang sound? Maybe may mali ako na setting, or baka limitation na nya talaga? BTW, my elvira is connected to my receiver via optical.
-
^ not sure how everything is setup on your end but in my experience, it doesn't matter where i play the file as long as the audio is bitstreamed in it's original format, i get the exact same playback loudness no matter which playback device.
if your PC is decoding the audio stream to PCM, it's possible that it may be applying effects as well (such as dynamic range compression, volume compensation, maybe even digital volume gain...)
Dolby soundtracks usually have a DialNorm (Dialog Normalization) gain value that is automatically applied by the receiver, and effectively raises the Center channel gain for louder dialog playback. If your receiver is getting AC3 as PCM, then the DialNorm "boost" is not applied and hence, low volume for the dialog.
-
^ thanks sir. Last question. If ma brick ba nmt while upgrading the firmware, covered ba ng warranty yun?
-
^ best if you ask the seller where you bought the unit.
not sure with the elvira, but with the SW3, it has an emergency firmware flash procedure which is supposed to unbrick the unit. if that procedure fails, then IMO you should be able to exchange it for a new one if within warranty. but ultimately it's the seller that can answer that question.

hi,
Is this capable in playing 3D movies?
-
Most likely not.
-
hi,
Is this capable in playing 3D movies?
Not capable. It's still using the old 1185 chipset. It's the 1186 chipset that has 3D playback.
-
Thanks. But, this is capable in playing a 3D content as 2D while the 3D capable TV do the 3D processing. Is my assumption correct? If so, is there any difference in terms of PQ when processing 3D on the NMT instead of from the TV?
-
Pag 3D yung content magiging 2D lang din output nya. Kung may feature yung TV mo ng convert to 3D pwede maging 3D. Pero the quality is far from real 3D.
-
I just bought this player with firmware version 3.0. In movie mode I've tried the multiplex view. Is it possible to show the fanart in the background?
-
Hi nerveblocker!
How's the quality of 3D playback of Half-SBS/OU encodes using the Elvira compared to the Measy?
Thanks!

I will test it later. This is not a 3D player so I will try converting the SBS files via my TV. I tried playing a 3D BD ISO in a non-3D TV and it displayed the movie in 2D.
-
Thanks nerveblocker. Will look forward to your impressions.

Bro, tested the Elvira on my 3DTV and it had good performance on my 3D SBS with the TV converting the file to 3D. Parang 3D BD ang rendition. I used an HDMI ver 1.4. Pwede!!! ;D
-
Using Mediasheets in Xtreamer Elvira (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0ZIL0ungiw&feature=g-upl)
Sorry for the "Blair Witch" quality video. Just took it using my phone on my left and the remote on my right. ;D ;D ;D
-
Hi. Planning also to get this unit for my folks.
Question is, can this play DTS movies without an AV receiver? (My WDTV can't)
It will be connected to an OLD TV (composite video, stereo audio)
Most of my collection are mkv/dts files kc eh. :-)
-
That's good to know.
Is there any difference between the Elvira and the Measy X5 in terms of Half-3D encode performance/quality?
And, have you noticed any issues (no matter how trivial) about these 2 Realtek players (regardless of the pricepoint)? If any.
Regards

One thing I've noticed though with the Elvira is that it hangs when you have a lot of files already in your HDD when viewing in thumbnail mode. I need to reboot it when it happens. If in List view ok lang. Maybe because of the slow processor. ???
-
i bought a used 500gb HD which cannot be detected by the elvira. Weird. My pc detects the drive. Formatted it a couple of times already - NTFS and exFAT to no avail.
My wifes seagate can be detected by the elvira.
Ano kaya problema?
-
Dang, we're also encountering the unit hanging when playing certain films that work fine in our WDTV Live and WDTV Live SMP. After playing for a few minutes, then shows a blank screen, with no response from the remote. Anyone found the possible cause for this? @nerveblocker noticed it with large files in the HDD when using thumbnail view, though mine is in List view. I'll try it using a small thumbdrive with only 1 or a few movies in it.
-
I was able to play movies from a 1TB HDD searching using list view. I will also observe if it hangs even on list view. Maybe it has a toil on the processor when searching from large capacity drives.
The video I posted with the moviesheets had only 50 movies in the drive that's why it can still handle it.
-
Plan to buys this also, I have a seagate 320GB mac formatted. All my movies, audio and other stuff. Di ba mahirap din mag read yung HD pag ganoon? Althought, may 100mb free space pa yung hd ko. TIA

havent experience that much hanging, even in thumbnail mode. How do you change the view btw? Para kasing wala ko makita options. But Im still using the stock firmware, havent upgraded it yet. My HD is 2tb, around 1.6TB full.

When you are in the screen with your movie folders already, press Menu in your remote. You will see the options.

same problem here, 1 week pa lang sakin yung unit and i can't even finish a single movie. Good thing merong sticker ng pctrends yung nabili ko madali magpawarranty. Magcclaim na ko ng warranty since even after ko magupdate ng firmware lagi pa din ganon yung problem.

@ xtreamer elvira users
guys, naeexperience nyo ba to sa units nyo?
After playing for a few minutes, lcd tv goes blank screen, with no response from the remote. Actually di pa ko nakakbuo ng kahit isang pelikula ng hindi namamatay tong unit :(
mon: LG 42" LD460

usb: 32gb corsair flash voyager slider and 1tb Seagate GoFlex with own power adaptor. (kahit ano gmitin ko sa 2 same problem)
natry ko na magupdate to latest firmware <click here for link> (same problem pa din)
pinawarranty ko na, pinalitan nila bago ganon pa din. Any help would be appreciated po. Thanks.

sakin di ko naman na experience yan. Experience ko lang mag restart pag sobra dami ko nang na browse/preview na titles. Maybe 40 plus titles. Just checking lang kung ok yung audio and video quality, pati subs without watching the whole film
Sa mga nag update ng firmware, na solve na ba yung italic subtitle issues? thanks

If you have a high capacity drive full of content, better switch to List view rather than thumbnails to minimize hanging. I think the limitation lies on the processor.

finally found out the problem sir, changed my amp, got an entry level with hdmi, got rid of the optical connection, then boom! Ang lakas na ng volume nung mga very low volume movies ko. Too bad I deleted some movies thinking na sila may problem.

Orig firmware pa din. Havent upgraded. Will check the exact version tom.

hi guys,
may nakasubok na 3tb? how is it?

+ po ako dito after an update nag iba ang GUI interface ng elvira ko and nagkaroon sa settings ng bitstream,5.1, multichannel mas gumnda nga!!! ;D
-
Meron na po bang nakapag setup dito ng home theater thru Xtreamer?
Ang setup ko po HDMI pa TV then ung audio out nya pa Home thearer na 5.1 kaso nakikita lang nya 2.1 di ko mamaximize ung home theater ko.
I already set ung sa audio settings na naka 5.1
RCA connection ko papuntang Home theater.

hi new to the forum! just purchased an Elvira and having trouble with the remote, it seem that when i press a button from the remote of the Elvira my digibox also responds. Eg. power button pressed the channel of the digibox changes, home button, volume increases.
pls help!
thanks guys
-
sir ask ko lang po.
if magsetup ako ng ganito
Xtreamer HDMI - AVR in -AVR out -> 3D LCD
and mag play ako ng MKV 3D Stereoscopic from Elvira.
kaya bang maconvert/marecognize ni 3D LCD yun para ma view sa 3D glasses as 3D?
-
ang alam ko sir hinde capable ang elvira ng 3d makikita mo lang sya as 2d still im not sure
-
I've been researching on the Elvira for a while now and I'm getting mixed reviews on different forums, I know it's probably the most basic nmt out there so I should temper my expectations, but are you all satisfied with the product?
May mga nababasa kasi ako na madaming bugs yung elvira, or it's poor build quality etc. Any feedback on the issues you have would be welcome. Thanks!

mga sir, anyone here experiences choppy video playback sa elvira with 720p mkv around 4gb in file size?my hard disk 1TB seagate expansion. tnx!
-
mga sir na experience ko na din yung bigla na lang nag blackout ung screen pero may audio.pinagtataka ko din updated na ung firmware kabibili ko lng nun last wik .possible ba na updated naagad ung firmware pagkabili pa lng ng unit.
-
Bought mine at Cardinal Audio din kanina. I updated the firmware immediately paguwi ko. I chose the one with Japanese support. Successful naman yung upgrade and I restored to factory settings after kaso sunod sunod na random shutdown ang inabot ko while watching a 720p MKV. Nag shu-shutdown siya kapag pinause or papalitan mo ng subtile font or kahit na wala kang ginagawa. One more thing, medyo maluwag ang HDMI port nitong akin. Pixelated kahit madiin na pagkakakabit ng cable. Kailangan pang i-wiggle into place. Called the store and I'll go there to have it replaced. I'll update you guys later. Hassle lol.
Update: Added a bit of cash and went for another brand nalang. Baka lemon unit lang yung napunta sakin pero I don't want to take chances na with this particular model. Thanks pinoydvd.
-
sir, anung brand kinuha mo? musta naman po ung performance or quality. tnx sir!
-
napansin ko sa elvira mga sir, when i play mkv 720p or 1080p movies in my 1TB seagate expansion, choppy ung playback ng movie. pero i try to transfer the movie in 8gb NTFS formatted usb flash disk. ok na ung playback ng mga movies ko.
anyone here using 1TB hard disk on their elvira? may mga nagiging problem po ba kau sa playback ng movie? tnx!
-
yup sir depende yun sa kopya sakin may remux copy ako nag na crush ang elvira ko minsan sa iba ok naman
+1
I'm having the same issues,coming from wdtv parang ang hassle ntiong elvira.Some files espcially 1080p remuxed ones are stuttering and is pixelated during playback.I'm running the newest firmware 3.0 somthing.Anyone found a solution to this yet?.I'm thinking of returning the unit kung walang solution.
-
Saw it on the xtreamer website.

questlogic has them on stock 8292131
Thanks Sir. I already got one :)
The thing is, before and after the firmware upgrade, during playback of a 1080p Movie, I encountered the blank screen issue when trying to re-play (after a pause). So, i rebooted the player. I encountered this randomly, and was able to play the movie again after the reboot, and this time, let the movie play through.
Overall though, i'm pretty much satisfied with the Elvira. Not as smooth as the O!Play Mini (RIP). The advantage of the Elvira I think is that it has a cooling vent :) which the O!Play, desparately needs.

May old Kaiboer 1055plus gave up after two years. may power siya pero it seems di na nadedetect ng TV ang player since NO signal na ang lumalabas when connected.
tanong ko lang sa Elvira, kaya ba nya magplay ng DTS sound kahit walang receiver? My kaiboer can pag naka-RAW ang audio output at may sound sa TV.
pwede ba sa Elvira ang ganito or I need a receiver pa?
kung hindi kasi pwede i will opt for a much cheaper alternative since anak ko lang naman mostly ang gagamit for animated movies.
-
tanong ko lang sa Elvira, kaya ba nya magplay ng DTS sound kahit walang receiver? Yes, it decodes DTS.
-
^kahit walang receiver? diretso lalabas sa TV ang sound?
-
^kahit walang receiver? diretso lalabas sa TV ang sound?
yes sir
-
May nakapag install na ba ng new firmware? Any improvements?
-
one last question.
kaya ba basahin ng Elvira ang isang 3TB hdd partitioned to two 1.37GB?
sa kaiboer 1055+ ko kasi pwede. lalabas siyang dalawang drive. yan sana gusto ko rin kapalit kaso wala nang kai 1055 ngayon.
-
Guys, same issues sa Elvira ng father-in-law ko. Binilhan ko siya ng 2Tb USB3.0 desktop external HD and choppy ang labas ng movies ko (tapos matagal pa bago basahin ng unit yung drive).
Also updated to Firmware V20140402, hindi pa rin nawala yung issue na choppy.
I tried my other USB3.0 external desktop drive at wala namang problema. I'm thinking namimili ang Elvira ng external HDD.
Suggestion na lang, bago kayo bumili ng external HDD, subukan niyo muna sa Elvira kung gagana. :-\

have some issues with this unit
whenever i try to skip a scene or chapter the unit crashes after a minute or two
and looking thru the info of the file while playing the unit crashes after a minute or two
replug/restart the unit same thing happens when i tried the above mentioned
anyone came across this?

Hello, newbie here. Ilang araw na ako nagbabasa ng reviews sa PinoyDVD.
Just want to ask the pros and cons of Xtreamer Elvira. Nagkakaproblema po ba talaga iread pag madami ng files yung 1TB HDD?
Planning to buy one. Thanks!
-
Bought 1 kanina and tried setting up to my HT using optical audio. The problem is I can't get the audio out to my HT. I have HDMI connected from the media player to my LED TV and connected optical audio from elvira to Promac Home Theater. Meron video but no sounds sa Home Theater. :(
May I ask for the settings? I can't make it work :(
Thank you!
-
Maybe your Promac ht cannot decode bitstream 5.1 thru optical? Try setting spdif/optical out setting on the elvira to 2 channel PCM in audio settings.
-
+1 to this setup ganyan gamit ko now.Iba talaga sound ng hdmi ang connection compared to optical
sir, panu po itong set up na ito?, pasensya na po sir, baguhan lang po ehh., ang setup ko po sa elvira ko po is ung hdmi po nung elvira naka kabit po sa tv tapos yung optical cable po nung sa elvira din naka kabit naman po sa dvd player namin na 5.1 channel, select ko lang po dun is "aux opt", pano po yung hdmi cable ang magiging sounds?, kasi po medyo mahina po yung mga AAC sounds na movie kapag optical cable., posible po ba yung hdmi cable po ang magiging sounds? panu po yung connection po nun sa tv??
maraming salamat po sir,. ilang gabi ko na po ito pinag iisipan., ahehe.,
God bless us.,

Sir Kuddz,
Kung ang avr mo is may HDMI out or optical out yun nalang gamitin mo, dapat kasi ganito set up
Xtreamer HDMI - AVR in -AVR out -> LCD yan sir or
LCD lagay mo sa VCR/in ng AVR na may out na Optical yan ppwde yan sir
Sir, pwede po pa elaborate po nito?, Xtreamer HDMI - AVR in -AVR out -> LCD
ang gamit ko po kasi hdmi po nung xtremear and yung optical din po nung elvira naka kabit po sa home theater namin. mas maganda po ba tunog kapag HDMI ang ginamit at hnd po optical?, bale auxilary optical po sine select ko sa dvd player namin qng saan dun po luma labas ung sounds nung elvira., thank you po sir.,

Good day to all. Baka lang maka tulong...
Base sa setup mo, kaya mo ginamit yung optical papuntang dvd player is because walang hdmi input yung dvd player mo. Tama po ba? I assume HTIB(home theater in a box) ang gamit mo.
If may hdmi input yung htib mo, pwede mong gawin yung set up na yun.

sir, unang una po maraming salamat sa pag sagot., meron po sir 2 hdmi port ung dvd player po namin,. sorry sir hah, di ko po alam yung home theater in a box., pero LG po kasi yung gamit namin at 5.1 channel po naka lagay sa manual, dvd player din po yun., di ko po talaga magets kung pano po ung setup nang elvira kapag ang sounds po is through hdmi cable, kasi po bag nilagay ko po yung hdmi cable nang elvira sa home theater, wala naman po siya magiging display sa tv, kasi wala po naka saksak dun sa tv., patulong po sana sir., maraming salamat po.,

hi. i think tama na yung original niyong set-up na nakakabit yung elvira hdmi sa tv tapos yung optical sa dvd player. there are some movies na mejo mahina talaga ang volume especially yung mga lumang bluray rips ni YIFY. also, i think AAC na ginagamit sa mga rips is normally stereo or 2 channels lang. not sure though. try playing movies na ang audio format ay DTS or AC3 that have 6 channels (pang 5.1) instead of AAC. sana makatulong.

sir, salamat din po hah., kaya lang, mas maganda daw po talaga ang tunog kahit AAC lang kapag through HDMI cable instead of optica., kaya po sana gusto ko po malaman yung ganung setup po nila. God bless us.

i don't think kakayanin mo yung HDMI ang source mo for dvd because pang-out lang yan. if meron na HDMI Source In ang dvd player mo, then i think pwede. but as far as i know, walang ganun dvd player. you will need an AVR (audio/video receiver) to do that pero you will need different speakers for that as well.
when i use my HTIB (home theater in a box - dvd/bluray player with 5.1 speakers), i connect my HDMI from the NMT to the tv then the optical to the HTIB and it sounds good. kahit sa AVR ko, i still use optical and nangiginig ang kwarto ko pag action flicks. HDMI is just a cable that can send both audio and video signals naman in digital format while optical is digital audio only. at the end of the day, i think both HDMI and optical will give you the same result given you are using the same source material. check mo rin baka may problem yung optical cable mo pero duda ko source material or the movie files that you're playing ang may issue.

ahhh ganun po pala yun sir., thanks po at naliwanagan na ako., by the way, malakas po yung 5.1 kapag po naka copy ako nang mga DTS or AC3 na movie,. pero yung sa mga YIFY nga po, *karamihan nang movies ko* ahehe, puro naka AAC bale dalawa hindi po surround yung ipproduce nya na sound., so i think sa sinabi niyo po, movie files po na DTS or AC3 ang kelangan, pero ask ko lang po hindi po ba tala pwede ma surround yung mga movie sa YIFY??, at yung optical cale ko po kasi, yung mumurahin lang, mas maganda po ba ang sounds kapag medyo quality yung optical cable na gagamitin?, thanks a lot po sir kiwimig :),. God bless

yung YIFY kasi ay AAC 2 channels lang yon. talagang hindi lalabas sa ibang speakers mo yan. basta gumana yung optical mo sa dts/ac3, ok na yon. kahit gano kamahal yung optical cable mo, pag 2 channels lang ang source, 2 channels lang ang ilalabas. para lumabas sa surround and bass, kailangan 6 channels, which are dts and ac3 files. in the future, you can upgrade to an AVR and that can convert 2 channel source audio to 5.1 but iba pa rin yung totoong 5.1 (6 channels) na audio source. enjoy!

sir, maraming salamat po ulit., i think mag titingin po ako nang audio video receiver, kung meron po mura., ahehe., maganda po pala yung kahit 2 channels lang is kaya niya isurround sa mga speaker., sir, tnx so much po sa mga idea., malinaw na po lahat., tnx again boss :)

Tanong lang po..i bought the xtreamer elvira just recently. Tanong ko lang kung bakit di ko ma-setup yung video niya to 1080P. May error siya na not supported. Pero Full HD naman po yung tv ko. But if I assign 1080i, wala siyang error. Any idea? Is it because of the HDMI cable? TIA.
-
Try mo HDMI Auto.
-
Ok na mga sir..HDMI cable nga may problema.. Thanks po...
-
Hi,
Tanong ko lng po san ko makakabili ng xtremer elvira. want to buy it asap.
Thanks in advance mga sir.

For those na meron Xtreamer Elvira, assuming that the latest firmware v20130402 (http://www.xtreamer.net/downloads/xtreamer-elvira/elvira-firmware/firmware-v20130402.aspx) is used, does it display correctly colored .srt subtitles with italics when movie files are played?
For example, the .srt subtitle available at http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitles/5225494/man-of-steel-en/short-on is colored and contains italics. (usually .srt subtitle upload ni cipry (http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/profile/iduser-847082) sa opensubtitles.org ang colored)

Hello Sir/s,
Good Evening po.
Pasensya na sa abala..Magtanong lang po sana..May problem kasi ako sa Unit ko..Good xa for 3 months up until tonight.
Ang nangyari kasi po, hindi na nya mabasa ung laman ng Western Digital HD ko (500g). Last night okay pa xa. Nadedetect nya na may nakalagay sa kanyang HD, pero after a while, unlimited loading nalang xa.
I tried to check the HD with my laptop and Sony TV. readable lahat ng files (especially video)..Pero pagsa Xtreamer Elvira, loading lang xa ng matagal. Then paghinugot ko ung HD sa kanya, back to normal naman xa.
Akala ko HD ang may problem, no viruses/malwares detected naman. And nare-read xa sa ibang platform.
Tanong lang po. Salamat.
Nagtry narin po ako magupdate pala to 2013 firmware but it did not resolve the problem

Sir/s, already got my problem resolved within the day.
I guess the issue was just my HD is super crowded na..
500GB with 20Gb free of space.
Nagtanggal ako about 25g more...
Super tagal lang magload...
Ang based sa pagbabasa ko dito, as much as possible, use "list" in previewing files.
and hindi ko lang magets kung ano ang ratio dapat ng "max storage/current file size".
Pag nalaman ko update ko kau..

Had this unit tested today. Connected a 1tb WD and 2tb seagate HDD. so far ok naman, no issue. Actually for the price i am impressed.
-
Im planning to buy this unit in replacement for my Measy A1HD.
Ang hanap ko pong media player ay yung kayang i-decode ang audio (DTS, Dolby, etc) thru HDMI, kaya po ba ng Elvira ito?
Thanks

Hi, I want to know if Xtreamer Elvira supports a USB DVD-ROM external drive
Thanks in advance
-

-
Reads my 3TB seagate expansion just fine.

HI Guys. Please I really need your help.
Bakit ayaw gumana ng HD ko sa elvira? di niya nababasa. Format ng HD ko is exFAT. I already tried to format it sa NTFS pero ayaw pa rin gumana.
Ang nababasa lang niya is USB which is not good kasi mga movies ko e nasa external HD k.
Help please thanks!

Hi, para sa mga Elvira users, nasira kasi remote control ko. May nabibilhan ba nito locally? Or any workaround? Baka pwede universal remote then ipoprogram? Baka may naka experience na sa inyo. Salamat!
