Sir,

In the Video Tab

My TV System is set to 1080i 60hz I did changed it to 1080p 60hz.
The1080p 24hz is turned ON and my deep color is 12bit.

Same result it can't duplicate the very sharp video when I connect my drive to the USB port of my TV.

Yes, my TV is full HD 1080.

Bakit kaya?

Sir toyz4geek,

Ok na. It turned out that my samsung led tv's - one of its hdmi port is defective. It's not easily seen and I have to find a suitable movie to show the samsung technician the difference. They replaced the board.
I'm beginning to believe samsung products are not well quality tested. Good thing warranty pa. I also experienced this similar incident with my samsung aircon broke down after 2 years. They ended up changing each part of the a/c and they eventually gave me a brand new replacement unit.

Oh well my R6S is A-ok.

Fyi.

Thanks,
Nesty

good to hear, kung mamimigay ng player itong pasko wag mahiyang mag PM, one of the most affordable 3D Media player itong R6S plus pro!

[anya618]

sir normal ba sa R6S pro na mainit yung unit? yung isang R6S unit ko kasi di naman ganun kainit

[toys4geeks]

sir normal ba sa R6S pro na mainit yung unit? yung isang R6S unit ko kasi di naman ganun kainit

mas mainit siya relative to R6S partly due to wifi and bare SATA. it uses 12V adaptor (unlike the R6S which uses 5V)

Mine is on top of a desk and got adequate airflow.
i'll check din later.

nanibago lang ako kakaiba kasi yung init. kelangan ba me nakatapat na fan? or basta open lang siya pwede na?

mine gets a little air from the swinging fan, pero no aircon ako.

Just got my R6S Pro. thanks sir.

Try to play 3d larger files (12Gb size) and .m2ts (from sony HD camcorder):

1. Using seagate expansion 1TB (http://www.villman.com/Product-Detail/Seagate_STBV100010I00DM003#) I can confirm the video is lag or stuttering and it cant be detected in USB 3.0

2. Using Seagate portable expansion 500Gb it played well.
3. Using cdrking tumb drive 16Gb No problem.

other than the seagate expansion problem, PQ compare to TV builtin player is way better 
great product!!

I just discover something good with r6s pro.

I have a seagate 80Gb internal sata hdd, i think there are some bad sectors already and i have tried to recover it using so many ways, to name a few scandisk, chkdsk, seatools, norton, dos or even linux diskmanagement but icant restore the drive, the computer just wont detect it and even detected failed hdd in bios.

Out of my curiosity to try the sata cable from r6s pro., i plugged it in just maybe something gonna happen but i remember the format thing from settings so i went to format the hdd right away and it took around 15-20mins to completed. 

Went back to media i can see the C: so decided to plug the hdd back to computer to copy some movies and to my supprise windows cant detect it but linuxmint can now see it so i try to reformat it in linux using ntfs file system, now i plugged the hdd to windows again and to my supprise it is now there 

copies some movies into it and bring it back to r6s pro. but now im using the enclosure with it and connect it via usb 2.0 and again it works perfect   

just some lag when playing big size of movies but when i pause it for like 15secs (maybe it is buffering while paused) and play it back the movie will play smooth with no lag.

[toys4geeks]

The lag sometimes is enclosure dependent and at times disk dependent.

Cool that you can use 80Gb again, pero use it as extra storage lang and not for priority files. some issues kasi with the SATA disks pag di ginagamit for a time, degrade. kaya its nice to keep them in an enclosure and power up every quarter. store in a place, cool, dry place.

I just got an R6S plus pro firmware, testing now. seems it fixed the BDMV playback issue.

[marfin]

Thanks for the tip sir.

Yes i aggree not to store important files there, this will be a temporary storage while saving for a movies dedicated portable hdd

btw any particular problem playng BDMV using the stock firmware?  i try to have a quick backpost read pero ndi ko pa mahanap sorry..

Dati kasi, when you play a BDMV title, it will just traverse the folders but not play the movie.  Bug  i think. the work around is to locate the BDMV folder and hit play.

you can try now, with your newer R6S plus pro yung playback. no need to go one folder lower to BDMV to play.

let me know.

then i notice sa

[dharsam]

sir jim saan maka download ng firmware?

[toys4geeks]

sir jim saan maka download ng firmware?

PM me your Model and S/N, so can match if merong correct driver.

[♡ lvcdg23™ ✌]

Sir Jim may menu na ba yung BDMV movie with the new firmware?

[toys4geeks]

Sir Jim may menu na ba yung BDMV movie with the new firmware?

Wala ako r300 here to try. But the compile was october 2013 so I was hoping you can give it a try.

For the r6s plus pro , bdmv plays now without going down to the bdmv level

I think for 2d
it will show BD lite menu and bdmv playback so leave "always ask for bd navigation"

Now for 3d bdmenu, likely same concern due to  realtek 1186 Sdk.

up ko lang ulit, me nakatry na ba ng 4tb external hard drive sa egreat media players?

kakasubok ko lang working ang 4tb external hard drive
im using Seagate Backup Plus 4 TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive STCA4000100

Ayos! thanks for confirming sa 4TB actual drive. yung 12TB RAID kita din naman so dapat mag work yang 4TB mo

[anya618]

yes sir yan nga

no stutter whatsoever 

[toys4geeks]

yes sir yan nga

no stutter whatsoever 

4TB Seagates are quite a good buy for its capacity.

The stuttering seems limited only to a 1TB Seagate external (those adaptor powered ones) for some reason, kasi its observed same file transferred to a USB stick ok naman.  must be the buffering with older models of seagates.

how do i activate the BT function?

i went to  Setup > Network >Transmission PT service and turned it on.

when i go to the Access Address, i get

-----

404: Not Found

Couldn't find Transmission's web interface files!

Users: to tell Transmission where to look, set the TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable to the folder where the web interface's index.html is located.

Package Builders: to set a custom default at compile time, #define PACKAGE_DATA_DIR in libtransmission/platform.c or tweak tr_getClutchDir() by hand.

[anya618]

ask ko lang sir ano latest firmware ng r6s pro?
