Topic: Xtreamer Elvira

[Quitacet]

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.

[Quitacet]

^kahit walang receiver? diretso lalabas sa TV ang sound?

^kahit walang receiver? diretso lalabas sa TV ang sound?

yes sir

[kane]

May nakapag install na ba ng new firmware? Any improvements?

[Quitacet]

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!

[vince7991]

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!

[chris69ners]

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.

[chelletkevin]

+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, alam ko na. Optical out pala yung player ko. Lol. Hanap ako replacement ng HT ko yung may digital optical in. Damn. Thank you!

[chelletkevin]

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

[jepoy28]

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.

[coastal]

Try mo HDMI Auto.

[jepoy28]

Ok na mga sir..HDMI cable nga may problema.. Thanks po...

[makario25]

Hi,

Tanong ko lng po san ko makakabili ng xtremer elvira. want to buy it asap.
Thanks in advance mga sir.

[alibasbas]

For those na meron Xtreamer Elvira, assuming that the latest firmware v20130402 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 sa opensubtitles.org ang colored)
