About DivX Connected™?

Thu, 05/31/2007 - 21:50 — Gej

It's the easiest way to deliver media you care about directly from your PC and the Internet to your TV. With a DivX Connected device and a network connection, you can watch DivX videos, listen to music and browse photos saved on your PC and access Internet services without leaving the couch.

Ridiculously fast fast forward and rewind Skip forward through your movies at 30 second intervals and in reverse at 10 second intervals. Fast forward or reverse at speeds up to 300x. Most current digital media adaptors (DMAs) offer fast forward and rewind speeds at about 8x, DVD players at 32x and some DVRs at 300x, though only from an internal hard drive.	Instant playback resume Don't you hate how you have to fast forward forever to get to that point in the video where you just couldn't keep your eyes open anymore? DivX Connected has a playback resume feature, so you can start watching where you left off without missing a beat.
DVD features, etc. First you got a DivX Certified DVD player to play all your DivX videos. Then maybe you upgraded to a DivX Ultra Certified player when you started adding menus, subtitles, chapters and multiple audio tracks to your content. It's time to throw them out (and while you're at it, donate all those blank discs you'll no longer need). DivX Connected devices play multiple video formats, including all the DivX video you download, rent, buy or create yourself -- including DivX files with DVD-like features.	Virtual chapter points Virtual chapter points are another industry first as far as we know. Most Internet videos don't have the chapters we've all grown used to in DVDs, but DivX Connected changes that. To jump to a video's halfway point, just press 5 on the remote keypad. To go 80 percent into the file, press 8. For 30 percent, press 3 and so on…you get the idea. When you combine the use of virtual chapter points with the skip function, you will be amazed at how quickly you can jump to your favorite scenes (at least until we add a favorite scene marking method)
HD resolution photos No more waiting for locally rendered photos to paint line by line on your screen. DivX connected lets you scroll through full screen, HD resolution photos almost as fast as you can push the buttons on your remote. Navigate pages of thumbnails, play slideshows or view full screen photos one after the other without delay while you listen to and control music playing in the background.	Streams HD video in DivX Existing wireless standards are ok, if all you want is SD video. But the streaming capabilities of 802.11g simply can't deliver MPEG-2 HD video. That's where DivX Connected really kicks some ass compared to other DMA products. It allows DivX video in 720p HD to be streamed-smoothly and without stuttering-directly to your TV over your 802.11g wireless network.
	Play that funky music You like to rock out, but new research shows that you’re wrecking your eardrums by using those little ear buds with the volume cranked all the way up. Give your ears some breathing room. Point your server software to the music folder on your PC and play MP3s through your home theater sound system. View cover art as you would on the PC and play background music even while browsing photos and playing slideshows.

Updated Flash splitter and config again

Sat, 05/03/2008 - 00:57 — kamiwa

I updated

AllInOne.rar
DCDShowPlaybackPlugin.rar

and the link to the Flash Splitter. This version of the splitter comes with an installer. So no need anymore to manually register the filter.

The config file now supports VP6F (found in more recent Flash versions). Additionally I changed the GUID from Haali Simple Media Splitter to Haali Media Splitter and added 0x0000 (Audio Codec: unknown) to the ffdshow audio section.

If somebody got Matroska files with subtitles, could she/he please give the new config a try? Connected should accept these files now. The subtitles still won't play, but at least Connected should no longer refuse to accept these files.

Additionally *.ogg audio and Matroska with OGG audio should now play.

ZIP/RAR: Some users complained that they couldn't unzip the prior *.zip files or ended up with garbage. So I changed all the archives to RAR format instead. To each rar file a zip version still exists. Simply replace the .rar file ending in the link with .zip.

Look here for the latest versions:

This is my awesome red flower theme. I have omitted the icons on the right side since it seemed a bit repetitive with the design. Hope you like it :)

Connected: More media support out of the box

Tue, 04/01/2008 - 14:11 — kamiwa

I just received a new config file for the DirectShowPlugin from one of the Connected devels. It works with the latest server version and brings a whole bunch of additional media to your box.

Best of it is: It more or less works straight out of the box, only three downloads needed and the config file itself.

Look here for more details.

Introducing Zoom-by-Numbers

Tue, 01/22/2008 - 17:01 — porfitron

Hey Beta People,

Here's a breakdown of one of the new features to be rolled out with the next beta release. I'm giving you a preview here, so that you'll have your thumbs ready to test it out as soon as you update.

While viewing a photo, you will be able to use the number pad on your remote control to zoom into a region of the photo and explore it in more detail. The arrow keys will pan your view, while Page Up and Page Down can be used to zoom in and out.

The photo gets divided into 9 regions.

Pressing 2 will expand the 2nd region.

Pressing 7 will expand the 7th region…

… and so on.

Be sure to add some hi-res photos to your library so you can really appreciate this new feature! Update coming shortly...
