Schedule record firmware released.

Many people are requesting for schedule record, and now wish comes true.
Emprex has released a firmware which has schedule record function, but File Copy is removed. The default language is set as Simple Chinese, you could need to change it back to English manually.

Select the 4th icon for Setup(tool icon) -> Press left arrow key once for System(desktop icon) -> Press Enter key for language list(flag icon), Up arrow key to select English and press Enter key to change language.

Hi

Will the ME1 ever support MKV files?

Hi

Will there be a update to support MKV files?

I don't think ME1 will support MKV, but you could try TranscodeServer to steam MKV from PC to ME1.

Thanks so much for adding this feature.
I am only quite dissapointed you had to get rid of the file copy feature, was it taking up too much memory or something?
It would also be a bit more user friendly if the scheduled recordings section could be accessed by clicking an icon on the main menu (or playback menu) rather than by pressing the record button

Nice feature! I'd also like to see videoclips in a loop, but it's only possible for mp3... Any workaround or new function?

I leraned that The copy function may not fit in the memory in the machine.

Good release, but why is not yet possible to use the coding RMVB/WMV/MOV/MKV/H.264? You can not imprementere such Codeck? also wondered why the copy was elimintata? Say that once solved these problems the product is 10 and praise.

Question from beghinner routes is a vague possibility 'of catalog movies, photos or mp3 files with any cover and caption? If you like?
Thank you in advance for any reply.

maybe using textlinks and not image links for such functions make them fit ;)

Give me back my file copy feature!

Any chance of adding the ability to stream audio/video from the internet as well as local net?

Access to stuff like shoudcast and AOL Radio would be a huge bonus.

With the new F/W you can add many shortcuts instead of just one.
You should check readme file at Emprex offical website first.
There is a instruction tells you how to add new shortcut.

This support from EMPREX it's really great! Thanks! I would like to tell my personal wish too.. When the Hd it's plugged again into the AC socket, it starts in ON condition.. So when I leave it plugged I sometimes found it turn on when I come back home (due to blackouts or mum unplugging things to clean..), isn't it possible to make it start in stand by? Fabio

For those that want all the new functions and the old ones ----
They could make the firmware load different versions from what the user sets from a reboot, e.g they could select file copy then the next time they reboot that feature would be available, this would be done with a simple script that gets modified on user request and then is read during the boot up, i have asked emprex for the source code so that i can do this but they just dont bother answering.
I also want the ability to switch the preview off and on but emprex also ignore this....

how does the schedule record work? i cant find it using this firmware

Emprex said they will release new firmware which has File Copy and Scehedul record both, but won't give a specific time of release date.
Preview on/off is enabled after firmware 1.08, you can find it in Setup.
If you don't see a Scheduel record icon at main menu, then it must not the correct firmware version.
Confirm the firmware you have by press Display key twice while at main menu screen.
