Sound like you might have a bad Dune....some users have issues with Poster Walls and such, but these machines are rock stable and don't crash....usually.

Always use the real power off mode myself. It then for sure turns of the HDD's. Turning on/off always works correctly with mine. Power on/off may be controlled via HDMI/CEC too. Maybe using that unknowingly?

The Red Remote button now works for different views with My Collection for different numbers/sizes of posters in  a view. This is an essential feature.

Dune is looking at my list. Lets see what they come up with.

The list was updated/clarified a bit as a results of the comments/questions received.
The list was moved to reply #3 for convenience of finding it. It is now appended immediately following the review: Appendix A: The "newGUI alpha FW"

Good news for those interested a DSF fix for displaying "Remaining Time" on the front display is here:
https://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=5211.0
It was tested working on Real Vision and Pro Vision models. May work on other models too?
Does not work with BD Full menu as-is.

Item: "UHD with DV combined with external subtitles may causes severe stuttering and loss of audio on (some) UHD Folders (USB3 attached HDD). Have not seen it with ISO's. It seems to happen only if files are scattered/fragmented over a HDD? No such problem with Zidoo or my OPPO playing those same  folders from that same HDD" was removed from the list till I get it again and can reproduce it on-demand.

Added a paragraph "Which brand media player to select?" to my conclusions. Updated it on 13-12-2021.
Guide to potential buyers to look at the for them most important aspects of a media player.

You might end up with more than one choice finally as I did myself!
The perfect player doing it all does not exist and probably never comes. They all still get better though.

The market for disc BD players has shrunken to an absolute minimum. A new generation there is not to be expected anymore. Streaming is taking over despite its lower video and sound quality (=compressed).

That's what is called 2 months old here. Almost indeed, which is along time.

They issue very few official releases. Their what they pessimistically call Alpha releases are in practice very good and safe to install. The FW also allows going back as easy as upgrading so little risk there to try them out.
