Eventually managed to get video to play but I would really appreciate it if you would put up written instructions as well rather than forcing the user to listen to/watch an entire video which could have been summarised in about eight lines.

Thanks

mtb

The video doesn't play for me, can you not simply post a transcript of it as well? Written text is so much quicker to scan and search and much less prone to this sort of problem.

mtb

Thanks folks,

I actually mis-communicated what I meant. I have no problem getting the existing data off the old disk, I actually meant streaming on an ongoing basis between the V2 and the second P2. Seems I can't do this sadly, ho hum.

mtb

Having just replaced one of our DP-P2 units with a V2, I was just wondering if I am able to view the DP-P2 across the network (ethernet) using of the V2. Is there a suitable extension or plugin available?

mtb

@Grumpy_Geoff Oh you hero! Just what I needed, thanks a heap mate.

mtb

Hey all, long time no visit. I've been suffering a similar WizPnP problem for a while now and finally want to try tackling it. I have two DP-P2s which were communicating just fine until one day we had a power spike/surge/brownout. Since then, neither will see the other, so I want to try reflashing t...

Been a while since I was on - email and credential issues - but had to add my voice to the throng. What other title is there for someone who's status has gone beyond Legend... Mark is a Beyonwiz God! He rebuilt the power supply in our S1, refurbished the DVD, replaced the failing HDD and all for an ...

mtb

Well, there you have it it would seem (on the P2 anyway)! Hadn't realised there was a new f/w (350), so I just put it on the P2 and it seems to have cured the problem. Can't tell about the S1 yet as it is recording something, however I would expect it to cure that too (or hope so anyway). Strange th...

mtb

I'm currently using Auto HDMI (1080) on the P2 and SD-576 on the S1 (the TV is SD) but, as I said, I've cycled through every setting to no avail. Sorry, Composite RCA. The last time I tried an updated f/w on each device I had all the problems of being unable to access the data via WizFX because of t...

mtb

I've had a hunt around and can't find anyone else reporting this (could be poor searching) but I also cannot believe I'm the only one with this problem... DP-P2, f/w 01.07.031,connected to projector via HDMI DP-S1, f/w 01.05.320, connected to SD TV via RCA On both units, when viewing live or time-sh...

mtb

Thanks for the info., Peter.

I should be relatively ok then, mine are both cable networked to an always-on router so I think I'll risk pushing the upgrades, I can always regress them if I do get problems.

Thanks again.

mtb

The fellow on the support line was very helpful, and pointed out the bug with the file player that I should expect to experience .. and unfortunately have done so. Hi David, I've just been sent 1.05.346 and 1.07.065 by BW/DPG - likewise the guy was very friendly and helpful but he omitted to point ...

I saw this yesterday in one of Peter's posts...

All the versions are there. See this post for more details.

Hope this helps you out. If not, I still have a couple of firmwares for the P2 archived.

mtb

Thanks for the suggestion, will do.

mtb · Here's hoping - I might approach beyonwiz to get a copy of 01.07.057. Thanks

Peter ... never said that it had been diagnosed to be a server only problem. That was my interpretation of... I've just had a look at the beta bug reports for 01.05.334, and WizPnP streaming problems are listed among the bugs: when the unit is enabled as a WizPNP Server, streaming to WizPNP clients...

mtb

Hi Ian, Sorry but I can't say it much simpler. the issue is the WizPNP server process in the 01.05.334 firmware is flawed. This is a server and not a client issue. The SERVER end of my scenario is the DP-P2 running 1.07.055, it isn't using the 1.05.334 firmware which you say has the problem. The CLI...

mtb

Hi Ian, Yeah I read Peter's notes on that and this was why I thought I'd post because mine seems to be the other way around. We're streaming FROM the DP-P2 (1.07.055) TO the DP-S1 (1.05.334) and the streaming works fine with 1.05.334 on the client (receiving the stream) but only with 01.07.031 on th...

mtb

Just wanted to add my $0.02 to this thread, muddy the waters a little more perhaps. We have an S1 (family room) and a P2 (theatre) and late last week I updated both to the latest official firmware from the .au website, using the recommended procedure and selecting the correct f/w for each device (1....

mtb

No worries. As you're looking at the size aspect specifically, what sizes would be of most value to you? I'm guessing at four files e.g. <<1Gb, <1Gb, >1Gb and >>1Gb. The other thing I'm curious about is if the contents need to match the extension or can I simply rename suitably sized (say) .avi or m...

mtb

I'll try that later today if I can and let you know. I presume that the multi-file format splitting should be invisible to the user, even with non-formally supported file types or should I be able to see it somehow?

mtb

Ok, DP-P2 (~3 months old) f/w 01.07.031, disk approx 35-40% used. File created using Handbrake 0.9.3 (Basic|Normal preset) on rip of Halo Legends Disk 1 DVD, producing "Halo Legends.m4v" file, size 1343711 Kb. File copied to 4Gb USB Key (FAT32). Key inserted into b/w and Popup button used ...

mtb

You hero... it worked beautifully, the file is now visible! I had seen the occasional post about re-indexing but hadn't though it might apply in this situation. I presume this is still a reportable bug as I have recreated it three times now i.e. copying an .m4v either shouldn't be allowed (since it'...

mtb

I've recently started playing with Handbrake for encoding my DVD collection and in one of my recent tests generated a .m4v extension file. I first tried playing it from a USB device and it seemed fine so I copied it to the hard disk so my son could watch it while I continued using the USB device... ...

Have to say I love WizZilla, however I'm having a few issues. I've read much of this thread but haven't seen the main issue reported (though I'll keep reading).

To answer mtb's question, the firmware release on the Korean site is actually a release candidate that was published too early by mistake. The Australian site is likely to have a properly tested release when it's ready and I strongly suspect that it's not going to be the same version as the one cur...

mtb

Thanks for those. I might consider it once it's out of warranty but, at one week old, I'm a little reluctant just now. Besides, I managed to get a number of different darkness off-cuts of tint and have a fairly successful result for the display area, on the BW itself too - none worked too well for t...

mtb

Well, I couldn't wait for the release to get to the .au site and I've upgraded my H1 to .320. They're still not on the .au site (as of last night) which seems a bit slack. Perhaps they're still waiting to fill that " Wanted: Web Developer / Designer " role so that someone can update the s...

mtb

Looking closer at the button and my masking, it appears the illuminated part is just the central button and the ring is not illuminated so my masking doesn't interfere with it at all. I've also changed the mask to hide "Beyonwiz" completely and just show the lower power symbol which is les...

mtb

I would suggest cellophane or something similar that will subdue the light without totally hiding it. You should find a darker colour and use multiple thicknesses to achieve the level of dimming required without breaking the functionality of the central button or the 4 buttons on the outer ring. A ...

mtb

Short of creating an O shaped mask of black tape, can anyone offer any other (warranty safe) techniques for turning down the brightness of the power button on DP-P2? The stupid thing is like a bloody great torch in our home theatre, why on earth did they think to make it so big and bright!?

mtb

... the error messages are sometimes uninformative, misleading, or occasionally simply wrong. Ah yes, bit like Microsoft in that respect! I guess I'm seeing it from a developer perspective - that detail should be in a technical summary at the back at the very least, that's what I do in similar situ...

mtb

Even if the USB storage device is formatted with a PC, it should be reformatted with the DP-S1. If you only want to play media files from your USB storage device, and you do not intend to copy or move media files from the DP-S1 onto your USB device, you do not need to format it with the DP-S1. Than...

mtb

Well that certainly would explain the issues I've been having and these results. It would have been nice if the BW would simply refuse to list files/devices that are compressed so as to give an indication of non-support, rather than the generic U.F. error. Still, I know now and will be trying a numb...

mtb

Sorry guys, but you seem to have misunderstood me. It was the compression issue with mp3s under Linux which gave me the clue but this was ALL done under Windows (XP Pro, SP3) using an external NTFS formatted drive connected to the PC, none of this so far has been done over the network (that's the ne...

mtb

Just a little heads up on a possible solution to the U.F. error above, see my post in this thread http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/phpbb2/viewt ... cc4e#70600.

mtb

You should never bother to compress media files as they are already as compressed as they are ever going to get. I agree but the drive was originally set with teh compressed attribute so all directories would inherit that attribute. That said, you do see a reduction in capacity after uncompressing ...

mtb

Been a while since I was here but I had to throw this one out there for consideration, one of those Eureka moments. I've been toying with trying to encode all my DVDs and putting them up on a file server, but no matter what I tried I kept coming up with the old "Unsupported Format" error o...

mtb

Ah, missed that. So basically, I should just keep my existing encoded files and wait for the fix to come through. Fair enough - thanks for the info. fellas.

Is it worth cutting a working and the faulty file to disk to send to the beyonwiz chaps to help them analyse them?

mtb

Just wondering if anyone can suggest a course of action for me to try... I'm gradually converting all my DVDs over to AVIs to store on a NAS for streaming to any device in the house. I've just finished converting all of season 1 of Chef (Lenny Henry) and am having issues with the first file. All the...
