DVD playback
Both ISO and VIDEO_TS can be used to turn the TViX into a
DVD jukebox by placing backups of your original DVD‟s on a
network share or on the internal hard drive. Playing
commercial disks directly can be achieved with a few sleek
tricks.
One bug bare is with playback of Video_TS, we would prefer
the TViX loading the video as soon as we select the main folder
containing a Video_TS file structure instead of loading the
movie selecting the VIDEO_TS folder itself. Pressing stop on
the remote will show the folder contents itself.
Based on tests with 25 ISO files and VIDEO_TS, the majority of
files started including some troublesome titles for the older
players but not all went fine. (90% ok)
Most options are available for enjoying DVD playback including
selection of audio, subtitles and a list of trick play options like
FF/RW, Step Frame and slow playback. Some of these need to
be enhanced and fixed though, for instance with slow playback
there‟s only ½ speed available after which the TViX will error
and start fast forwarding at 2X instead of offering ¼, 1/8 and
1/16 speeds.
Also with trick play using normal FF/RW operations, FF starts at
2X, 4X, 8X, 16X and 32X but rewind starts at 8X. These steps
are also not gradually decreased for instance if fast forwarding
at 32X speed, pressing „Fast Rewind‟ should go to 18X
forwarding speed (to decrease the FF speed) the unit however
immediately jumps to 8X speed rewind.
GoTo is available which does not
allow entering time beyond the length
of the movie being played as with the
previous generation, this used to
cause the player to lock. That has
been resolved allowing the GoTo
function to work well. With normal
content or HD movie files i.e. *.MKV, you can enter the time to
jump to, with DVD titles, chapters, titles or time can be
entered.
Bookmarks are functioning well. As before the player will auto
save location inside a movie played (DVD) and resume from
there. This also works with sources located on network drives.
An extra method is provided by pressing the bookmark button
on the remote.
It would be nice to allow users who have stored several
bookmarks the ability to select from whichever bookmark when
starting a movie to make it more useful and diverse.
Additionally loosing bookmarks when pulling the plug on the
TViX would be something we‟d like to see not happen, given
you often disconnect the unit to hook up to a PC when filling
the internal hard drive with media. Another item for the wish
list would be when pressing „bookmark‟ on the remote a visual
confirmation on screen would be a bonus and we would like to
see this either in the finished FW or in future firmware rollouts.
