Thanks for your very valuable feedback sir czerdyk

The new firmware that's recently been released should fix the problem of the unit turning on by itself.

A new firmware will be released come december which shall include the following

1) 720p Graphical User Interface
2) File Sharing (Simple NAS)
3) File Copy / Move
4) File Search (non-index)
5) RSS (URL is Opened for Users’ Inputs )
6) Blu-ray ISO Support
7) HDD Formatable for BT feature

my initial impression on CinemaTube...
i haven't had the time to fully play with it yet, i just watched a couple of movies (mostly 720p H.264 MKVs) over the weekend...
Loads fast (even with the preview on)
Didn't experience any hiccups on the files that i played
Can be used with our old dependable CRT TVs, the movie is down-scaled to match the TVs resolution
Gets a little hot after a few hours of use
Very light
I did experience the auto-ON "feature" when i turned it off without going to the Home screen first
According to my officemate who also bought 1, TS files that we recorded were played flawlessly
Haven't checked the firmware yet but based on their site, it seems to be the September release
I tried playing a damaged MKV (I can still play it using KMPlayer by moving the locator after the damage section) but was not able to play it in CT, I even tried the GOTO Time function but to no avail

All-in-all it's still a great piece of hardware, especially for its price ...
Thanks to TripleH-D for bringing it here!!! Good luck guys!!!

Hi! Excuse lang po! I am newbie here and i've been in watch mode for weeks na and when i saw the topic just hang up medyo nanghinayang ako. Anyway plan to shift to DVD HD that's why when i read about Cinematube hanap kagad ako thread dito. Convinced ako sa Cinematube after what i read from here so plan ko na bumili pero wala pa ako makita (specific SM North) then beside sa unit my other problem is what software or DVD ripper ang magandang gamitin i mean yung completo features like convertion to other files, then yung kuha lahat ng laman ng DVD mostly PQ and SQ.

Thanks in advance!

Just updated to the latest firmware. Having problems accessing shares on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Tried this fix but it didn't work:

In any case, I'm looking to test this next on the raw TS file of the Victoria's Secret 2009 Fashion Show.

Hi mga sir noob po ako sa HDs... May tanong lang po ako, kasi nung ginamit ko ung binili kong cinematube (bought it yesterday) grainy yung ibang files ko especially ung 300 ang tindi ng grains nya... Pano po kaya to maaayos? Dahil kaya to sa HDMI cable ko? saka pagnagplay na ko ng movie galing dun sa screen with preview nya merong sound na parang 'tick' na parang nasira yung speaker.. Once lang naman yung sound pero parang hindi kasi yun normal... Sana po masagot ng mga may cinematube na especially sir triple HD... Thanks!

I believe its the source that makes it grainy...not the player.

TRIPLE H-D · « **Reply #225 on:** Dec 16, 2009 at 06:36 PM »

@sir killerant - Hi sir, can you give me the details of your "300" movie file? There is a possibility that maybe the file itself is not high quality therefore "garbage in, garbage out", maybe its the file format itself. It would be better if you give me more details on it so that i can help you on this. btw, sa "300" na movie lang b cya nangyari? or even on other files?

About the "tick" sound, haven't encountered it personally yet, this would be the first time na me problem na ganun. In any case, do update me if this happens often so that i can forward your concern. thanks sir

BTW, CinemaTube was featured today on the Manila Bulletin

Killerant · « **Reply #226 on:** Dec 17, 2009 at 10:39 AM »

@tripleHD

Thanks for replying sir! Bale yung 300 mkv na 720p.. Pasabi na lang kung may iba pa kayong detail na kailangan about dun sa file pasencya na noob po talaga eheh.. Saka hindi lang siya sa 300 nangyayari meron din sa ibang files although mild lang sila pero parang sayang kasi ang linaw nya kaso may mga grains.. And about the 'tick' sound, it happens almost all the time whenever I start a movie from the screen with the preview... Thanks ulet sir..

TRIPLE H-D · « **Reply #227 on:** Dec 18, 2009 at 07:01 PM »

@sir Killerant - May i know where did you get the unit? For the file, have you tried updating to the latest firmware? I suggest updating the firmware first, if the problem persist. Then maybe we could bring another unit to you so that we could check whether its the file that has problem or the unit. Pag unit me problema, we'll have it replaced

what are the compatible usb wifi dongles for cinematube?

Just tried out a 580 peso Wifi-N usb dongle from CD-R King...

AND IT WORKS!!

Item code is LP-8697 (WiFi N, 300Mbps), i tried installing it on a desktop and realized that it was using a Realtek-based chipset. Tried it on the Tube and it got detected immediately. Was able to connect to my N-router using WPA.

Be wary as there is a wireless dongle that looks exactly like it but is actually a different and slower type.

I noticed something really odd with my Cinematube, after turning it on - after selecting from the menu it would constantly restart itself. It has been happening for the past hour. Anyone else experience this problem?

Hindi ba umiinit sobra yung unit? Pero I doubt lalo na ngayon malamig naman ang panahon. Kasi it's basically a "computer", kaya ko na-suspect ang overheating. Otherwise, it might be a bug in the recent firmware?

Well I don't think its from the heat since it has also happened when I turn it on in the morning. I don't leave it running overnight. As to the firmware, the Tube says its "updated" whenever I try to access the software update button.

I'll try it again later and see what happens.

My Cinema Tube's firmware was upgraded to IPB1009C241 this afternoon. The interface looks better now, but I'm still having problems making it work with Windows 7 and Video streaming via LAN just stops after a minute.

Went to Accent Micro and Microstation (both in SM Cyberzone North Edsa), they have no idea what a CinemaTube is.
