Hi Chris,
Might this bottleneck be the reason for the distortion several forum members, including me, reported? When updating/transferring files to the BDP1 over the network or connecting a HDD, playing more often than not is distorted. Solution is to wait for the updating to be finished, and all goes very well. Unfortunately the updating process seems to take longer and longer with large libraries, thus making the wait for being able to play undistorted a rather missable 'feature'.
Have you got any suggestions to counter this?
Btw, only recently I experienced a minor but maybe related quirk: having paused the BDP1 and only resuming play the other day, it appeared to be unprepared: playing was garbled the same way for about 10 seconds, after which it settled and played fine. Something to do with the same buffers being empty?
Thanks,
Marius
please give some instructions on how to use the Nas settings in MAx2. I tried to connect to my network fileshares, by entering login name and password, but only empty feedback-windows (error messages maybe) appear. A share is seen (albeit by its hardware name ), but I can not read any files on it through the MAx2 interface .
Would be so very nice to be able to read and play over the network......And being able to do away with the USB-hdd issues
Again top indicated the cpu resources to be maxed, so it would appear that the transfer speed appears to be bottle necked by the AMD Geode processor found in the BDP-1. This does make sense as USB is very software reliant, unlike other I/O like Firewire or thunderbolt that has its own hardware to deal with the data.
Cheers,
Chris
