I've been torn between the Dune Pro Vision 4K and the Zappiti Neo

What I like about the Zappiti:
You can add your own categories ie Kids 3D, Kids 2D
Easy to use.

What I don't like:
You have to add the category to movies on a one-by-one basis: no batch/multi-select option (asked for many times but never delivered)
The movie wall takes time to update the posters when scrolling across pages - even with their server installed on a NAS!
You have to have an internet connection to view your movies (otherwise you have to use offline mode).
The Neo I'm suspecting is pretty much locked down (I have a Zappiti mini 4K HDR which is) and so installing other apps is going to be pretty hit and miss)

How good is the Dune New GUI looking compared to the Zappiti? Does anyone Have experience of both?
Literally I want to be able to add additional menu/categories (as above) - is this likely to be added in the future?
From the noises here and on other forums the New GUI is not very far behind Zappiti Video now and a lot cheaper.

Used to own the Dune H1 - was an amazing player (especially when used with YaDIS) - solid playback of all formats (at that time).

Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks

I'm looking for a media player that can play forced subtitles automatically rather than having to chose the forced subtitle stream manually.

Can this player do this - this is the major factor for me to buy this player.

I have a multitude of media players that just can't do this.

Thanks

Does the Himedia Q5 Pro play forced subtitles automagically - i.e. without having to switch to the forced subtitle stream

I've got a few different media players but none can do this.

Thanks

Egreat A11, A10, A5 / A5 Stuttering on all Blu Ray movies
« on: March 27, 2017, 11:28:08 PM »
Hi,

I am having stuttering on all BD movies streamed across a Cat6 network from my NAS drive.

I am playing this on a 4K OLED TV (LG 55E6V) via a Marantz SR7010 Amp.

Stuttering occurs in both the EGreat Player and the Vidon player so would point towards EGreat not "cracking" the 23.976 stuttering issue in their firmware yet!

I do not get this issue on my other media players - mede8er X3D and Dune 3D.  On these players there is an option to set refresh rate to 23.976Hz but there is no option in the A5 EGreat.

This used to be an issue with the Mede8er and Dune players but was fixed with firmware updates after a few months.

Is this likely to be the same with EGreat - will a firmware update correct this?

Is there anything else I can set on the player to compensate for this - refresh rate etc?

Very disappointed as the stuttering makes watching movies untenable.

Any help appreciated.
