            <title>Dune HD Network Media Player</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1879252</link>
            <description>Could not find the old Dune tread.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Starting a new thread for Dune users.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New beta firmware is out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tons of new features. Enjoy&amp;#33;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER BEGIN--&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilertop&quot; onClick=&quot;openClose('33b9ec0aaa357586c0e3c01c620d72a1')&quot; style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;u&gt;&amp;raquo; Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... &amp;laquo;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;spoilermain&quot; id=&quot;33b9ec0aaa357586c0e3c01c620d72a1&quot; style=&quot;display:none&quot;&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER END--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Completely new graphical interface.&lt;br /&gt;   - New background image, new icons, more advanced graphics for all GUI&lt;br /&gt;     elements (glasses, dialogs, controls, OSD, etc).&lt;br /&gt;   - Animation effects.&lt;br /&gt;      - NOTE: it is recomended to use 50/60Hz video mode as the default&lt;br /&gt;        video mode in order to ensure smooth animation.&lt;br /&gt;      - NOTE: animation effects can be disabled in Setup / Appearance.&lt;br /&gt;   - Improved text look.&lt;br /&gt;      - The space between characters and the width of whitespace character&lt;br /&gt;        optimized.&lt;br /&gt;   - Ability to create and install custom GUI skins.&lt;br /&gt;      - More information: &lt;a href='http://dune-hd.com/support/skins' target='_blank'&gt;http://dune-hd.com/support/skins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   - Ability to switch GUI skins on-the-fly.&lt;br /&gt;      - GUI skins can be switched via the setting &amp;quot;Setup / Appearance /&lt;br /&gt;        Skin&amp;quot;, or via &amp;quot;B&amp;quot; RC button on the main screen (and also via &amp;quot;ZOOM&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;        RC button on any screen).&lt;br /&gt;      - Several GUI skins are included into the firmware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* New tab-based main menu interface.&lt;br /&gt;   - All items from the main menu are now grouped into the&lt;br /&gt;     following top-level folders:&lt;br /&gt;      - &amp;quot;Sources&amp;quot;: locally attached storage devices, configured network&lt;br /&gt;        folders, and &amp;quot;Network Browser&amp;quot; function.&lt;br /&gt;      - &amp;quot;TV&amp;quot;: TV services (when available).&lt;br /&gt;      - &amp;quot;Favorites&amp;quot;: shortcuts to favorite items (previously&lt;br /&gt;        known as &amp;quot;items added to main screen&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;      - &amp;quot;Applications&amp;quot;: all other applications and services.&lt;br /&gt;      - &amp;quot;Setup&amp;quot;: player settings.&lt;br /&gt;   - By default, all top-level folders are now represented as &amp;quot;tabs&amp;quot; at the&lt;br /&gt;     top of the screen.&lt;br /&gt;      - In Setup / Appearance, the user can switch between the following&lt;br /&gt;        styles of the main menu:&lt;br /&gt;         - &amp;quot;Tabs&amp;quot;: the new default menu style (&amp;quot;tabs&amp;quot; at the top of the&lt;br /&gt;           screen).&lt;br /&gt;         - &amp;quot;Fodlers&amp;quot;: show all top-level folders as regular folders in&lt;br /&gt;           the main area.&lt;br /&gt;         - &amp;quot;Plain&amp;quot;: do not group main screen items into folders (the&lt;br /&gt;           same behavior as in previous firmware versions).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Added widget for showing weather and current date/time information.&lt;br /&gt;   - The widget is shown at the top right corner of the screen (in the main&lt;br /&gt;     menu only, not during playback).&lt;br /&gt;   - The widget can be configured or disabled via &amp;quot;Setup / Applications /&lt;br /&gt;     Widget&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;   - NOTE: When no information is available (e.g. when Internet connection&lt;br /&gt;     is not available), the widget shows Dune HD logo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Various other user interface improvements.&lt;br /&gt;   - Added more predefined icon-based view modes for folders: 3x2, 3x3,&lt;br /&gt;     4x2, view modes with right panel.&lt;br /&gt;      - &amp;quot;Extended list&amp;quot; view mode is renamed to &amp;quot;List with right panel&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;   - Added the ability to quickly switch between view modes by pressing &amp;quot;A&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;     RC button.&lt;br /&gt;      - Debug dump function (which was previously available via triple&lt;br /&gt;        press of &amp;quot;A&amp;quot; RC button) is now available via tripple press of&lt;br /&gt;        &amp;quot;PAUSE&amp;quot; RC button.&lt;br /&gt;   - &amp;quot;Add to favorites&amp;quot; function can be quickly called by &amp;quot;D&amp;quot; RC button.&lt;br /&gt;   - &amp;quot;Copy&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Paste&amp;quot; functions can be quickly called by &amp;quot;B&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;C&amp;quot; RC&lt;br /&gt;     buttons.&lt;br /&gt;   - The help line at the bottom of the screen indicates currently&lt;br /&gt;     available shortcut RC buttons (&amp;quot;A&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;B&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;C&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;D&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;POP UP&amp;quot;) and their&lt;br /&gt;     functions.&lt;br /&gt;   - When launching the playback, &amp;quot;ENTER&amp;quot; RC button now works as &amp;quot;PLAY&amp;quot; by&lt;br /&gt;     default, i.e. builds a playlist consisting of all items in the current&lt;br /&gt;     folder and starts the playback of the currently selected item.&lt;br /&gt;     Usually, this improves the conveniency when the folder contains&lt;br /&gt;     multiple items (e.g. photos, music files, series, links to Internet&lt;br /&gt;     radio stations, links to TV channels, etc). The old behavior (do not&lt;br /&gt;     build the playlist, play just the selected item) can be restored via&lt;br /&gt;     settings (see &amp;quot;Setup / Advanced / File Browser&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;   - The current folder path at the top of the screen is now always shown&lt;br /&gt;     as just single line (with scrolling when the path is too long).&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: &amp;quot;TOP MENU&amp;quot; RC button did not work in some Setup screens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Added support for CUE-sheet playlist files.&lt;br /&gt;   - When playing an audio file, is there is an associated CUE-sheet file&lt;br /&gt;     (should have the same filename as the audio file, but with &amp;quot;.cue&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;     extension), the CUE-sheet file is automatically used.&lt;br /&gt;   - &amp;quot;PREV&amp;quot;/&amp;quot;NEXT&amp;quot; RC buttons allow to switch between tracks.&lt;br /&gt;   - The OSD menu (&amp;quot;POP UP MENU&amp;quot; RC button) allows to see the list of&lt;br /&gt;     tracks and switch to the desired track.&lt;br /&gt;   - When the playlist contains multiple audio files, CUE-sheet files are&lt;br /&gt;     also detected and used for each audio file (the detection is performed&lt;br /&gt;     when an audio file starts to play for the first time). The OSD menu&lt;br /&gt;     groups all tracks by the corresponding files.&lt;br /&gt;   - Also added support for built-in CUE-sheets in FLAC, APE and WavPack&lt;br /&gt;     files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Added support for chapters in MKV files.&lt;br /&gt;   - &amp;quot;PREV&amp;quot;/&amp;quot;NEXT&amp;quot; RC buttons allow to switch between chapters.&lt;br /&gt;   - The OSD menu (&amp;quot;POP UP MENU&amp;quot; RC button) allows to see the list of&lt;br /&gt;     chapters and switch to the desired chapter.&lt;br /&gt;   - When the playlist contains multiple MKV files, chapters are also&lt;br /&gt;     detected and used for each MKV file (the detection is performed when a&lt;br /&gt;     MKV file starts to play for the first time). The OSD menu groups all&lt;br /&gt;     chapters by the corresponding files.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* New version of DVD engine.&lt;br /&gt;   - The new version of the DVD engine adds the support for multiangle&lt;br /&gt;     feature and improves the support for DVD-Video discs with advanced&lt;br /&gt;     DVD-menu and interactive features.&lt;br /&gt;   - If needed, the old version of the DVD engine may be chosen via Setup /&lt;br /&gt;     Miscellaneous / System / DVD engine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Added settings for preferred languages of disc menu, audio track,&lt;br /&gt;  subtitles.&lt;br /&gt;   - See &amp;quot;Setup / Playback / Language&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;   - Supported for BD/DVD-Video discs/images and files.&lt;br /&gt;   - NOTE: The default value of these language settings is &amp;quot;English&amp;quot;. So,&lt;br /&gt;     if there are several audio or subtitles tracks and the &amp;quot;English&amp;quot; one&lt;br /&gt;     is not the first one, it will be automatically chosen (instead of&lt;br /&gt;     choosing the first track, as it took place previously).&lt;br /&gt;   - Also added a new setting (see &amp;quot;Setup / Playback / Subtitles&amp;quot;) which&lt;br /&gt;     allows to enable subtitles by default not only for files, but also for&lt;br /&gt;     DVD-Video discs/images.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Various playback improvements.&lt;br /&gt;   - General improvements for playback of HTTP audio streams (such as&lt;br /&gt;     Internet radio stations).&lt;br /&gt;   - CD audio playback improvements: faster startup and gapless playback.&lt;br /&gt;   - Improvement: for autoframerate function, non-standard framerates&lt;br /&gt;     between 23.976Hz and 24Hz are now treated as 23.976Hz (rather than&lt;br /&gt;     24hz).&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: Viewing photos from a UPnP source did not work (the problem&lt;br /&gt;     introduced in previous firmware versions).&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: Unsupported REW (fast rewind) command for TS files was wrongly&lt;br /&gt;     handled as fast forward rather than ignored.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: Playlist shuffle function could use an already previously used&lt;br /&gt;     random sequence in some cases.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: MP3 files with very large embedded covers could not be played.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: MP3 files with specific ID3 tags could not be played.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: &amp;quot;.mts&amp;quot; files were wrongly handled as audio files.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: Pausing M4A files could cause playback stop in some cases.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: .M3U/.PLS playlist files with &amp;quot;UTF8 BOM&amp;quot; header could not be&lt;br /&gt;     played.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: specific TS files (such as specific broadcast recordings)&lt;br /&gt;     could be played wrongly or with pause/seek not working.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: specific MKV files could not be played.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: BD-R/DVD-R discs could play with problems in some cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Improved handling of RC buttons during playback.&lt;br /&gt;   - &amp;quot;PREV&amp;quot; RC button now navigates through the history of the previously&lt;br /&gt;     played playlist items only in the shuffle playback mode and only after&lt;br /&gt;     normal transitions (selecting an item in the playlist and manually&lt;br /&gt;     jumping to it resets the history).&lt;br /&gt;   - &amp;quot;TOP MENU&amp;quot; RC button now allows to go to the main screen also from&lt;br /&gt;     file playback mode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Added new audio output configuration possibilites.&lt;br /&gt;   - The setting &amp;quot;Setup / Audio / Audio decoding mode&amp;quot; allows to specify&lt;br /&gt;     the number of channels (stereo, 5.1, 7.1), which should be output to&lt;br /&gt;     analog audio outputs and HDMI output.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Improved output of DTS-CD audio streams.&lt;br /&gt;   - Removed 14-bit to 16-bit conversion, which is undesired in some cases.&lt;br /&gt;   - Added the new setting &amp;quot;Setup / Audio / DTS CD audio conversion&amp;quot;, which&lt;br /&gt;     allows to revert back the old behavior (enable 14-bit to 16-bit&lt;br /&gt;     conversion) when needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* DVB-T related improvements.&lt;br /&gt;   - Usability improvement: when watching DVB-T channels, &amp;quot;ENTER&amp;quot; RC button&lt;br /&gt;     opens the list of DVB-T channels (as &amp;quot;POP UP MENU&amp;quot; RC button).&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: DVB-T playback did not work in some cases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Added &amp;quot;SHOUTCast&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;RadioTime&amp;quot; applications (free access to thousands&lt;br /&gt;  of local and world-side Internet radio stations).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Added &amp;quot;Russia.ru&amp;quot; application (free access to &amp;quot;Russia.ru&amp;quot; Internet video&lt;br /&gt;  service).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Minor improvements for &amp;quot;IVI.ru&amp;quot; application.&lt;br /&gt;   - Added showing some information about listed movies in the right panel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* A lot of new features and improvements for &amp;quot;Kartina.TV&amp;quot; application.&lt;br /&gt;   - Integrated the new &amp;quot;Videoteka&amp;quot; function based on the new &amp;quot;Dune VOD&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;     mechanism (planned to be used for other VOD services as well).&lt;br /&gt;      - Movies can be filtered by categories (including filtering by&lt;br /&gt;        multiple categories).&lt;br /&gt;      - Movies can be searched by title (with on-screen virtual keyboard).&lt;br /&gt;      - When browsing the list of movies, different view modes can be&lt;br /&gt;        switched.&lt;br /&gt;      - Detailed movie information can be shown.&lt;br /&gt;      - Movies with series are supported (including series selection before&lt;br /&gt;        and durign movie playback).&lt;br /&gt;   - &amp;quot;Dune TV&amp;quot; mechanism improvements:&lt;br /&gt;      - Added the possibility to switch different view modes when browsing&lt;br /&gt;        the list of TV channels.&lt;br /&gt;      - Added hints about the possibilities to use &amp;quot;B&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;C&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;D&amp;quot; RC buttons&lt;br /&gt;        to manage favorite TV channels.&lt;br /&gt;      - Added automatic resuming of TV playback after power-off/power-on.&lt;br /&gt;      - Added remembering the last played TV channel.

Enables a&lt;br /&gt;     special handling of the HTTP URLs, which is often useful when playing&lt;br /&gt;     audio streams (such as Internet radio streams).&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: relative paths did not work properly when used with virtual&lt;br /&gt;     items in dune_folder.txt.&lt;br /&gt;   - When the player communicates with an external application via&lt;br /&gt;     &amp;quot;dune_http://&amp;quot; protocol, the application now can determine various&lt;br /&gt;     information about the player (product id, firmware version, serial&lt;br /&gt;     number, current interface language) using &amp;quot;X-Dune-...&amp;quot; headers in HTTP&lt;br /&gt;     requests.

(May be helpful if some 3-party remotes use the same IR&lt;br /&gt;     codes as old kinds of Dune HD remotes).&lt;br /&gt;   - Some other improvements in IR signal decoding and handling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Improved output to the front panel display.&lt;br /&gt;   - Improvement: when playing content having no known duration (such as&lt;br /&gt;     Internet radio stream), the title of the played item is shown instead&lt;br /&gt;     of meaningless playback counter.&lt;br /&gt;   - Added support for displaying characters from some european languages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Added support for working with favorites without system storage.&lt;br /&gt;   - When the system storage is not attached, the list of favorites is&lt;br /&gt;     stored (without associated icons) in the internal flash memory (the&lt;br /&gt;     same memory as used for storing all player settings).&lt;br /&gt;   - NOTE: If some favorites are added when the system storage is not&lt;br /&gt;     attached, and after that the system storage is attached, the internal&lt;br /&gt;     flash memory still will be used to store the list of favorites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Improved web browser performance.&lt;br /&gt;   - Increased the amount of memory available for the web browser (and&lt;br /&gt;     other applications as well). This leads to increased web browser&lt;br /&gt;     performance and ability to work with more complex web sites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Various other improvements.&lt;br /&gt;   - Bugfix: adding shortcut (favorite) did not work when the filename&lt;br /&gt;     contained a specific character.&lt;br /&gt;   - Some previously missing characters added to fonts.&lt;br /&gt;   - Some interface languages added/updated. &lt;br /&gt;   - Some other improvements/fixes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--SPOILER DIV--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Download from&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://dune-hd.com/firmware/' target='_blank'&gt;http://dune-hd.com/firmware/&lt;/a&gt;</description>
