Any new mods coming up these days..... ?

I haven't been working on anything mod related for quite some time now, kinda' sad... but I haven't got any new ideas...

Are you modders working on something?

Post subject:  My extensive but reasonable wishlist
In case you're interested in doing some more modding there's actually a lot that can be done to improve the MT13x9 chipset. Please note that I'm just an avid user looking for a userfriendly device and that I have no clue of programming whatsoever so I don't know much work implementing my suggestions will need.

I'm currently testing a Philips DVP3260 using vb6rocod's great hacked firmware. The following list is ordered according to my preferences and I'd be willing to donate depending on what features are being implemented (some of which already have been by New_Age for Cyberhome standalones, maybe his code can be reused):


  • ifo/DVD playback from USB-HDD

    According to New_Age this is next to impossible without having the ARM source code but I'm wondering why. I mean, obviously a standalone has DVD-Video playback capability as it can playback DVDs from discs so why not from USB since the files have the same structure? I guess to resolve adresses in the ifos (disc filesystem vs HDD filesystem) there would be some mapping necessary but why can't this be done without source code and isn't it attainable somehow?

  • 'play all'-mode on mp3 playback and/or use Menu/Title to navigate folders

    I've ordered my mp3s like this
    /album1
    /album2
    /album3 etc.

    When this mode is selected I would like the player to start playing the first mp3 of album2 automatically as soon as the last mp3 of album1 finished playing. That way one could listen to mp3s without having to turn on the TV to navigate between folders.

    Cyberhome implemented a workaround: pressing 'program' on the remote would display all files in one long list without any folders so one could play continuosly without the need for navigation. Better than nothing but impractical with an increasing amount of files (especially on USB-HDD). So how about using the title/menu keys to go one folder up/down?


  • use left/right for pageup/pagedown in file browser

    Navigating long lists of files would be significantly faster.


  • use display button on remote to cycle display

    With a puny 5 digits the hardware display is undersized. Would be nice to switch from elapsed time to folder number/track number (again to enable navigation with TV turned off).

    Code:

    1:32:27                 -:05:15
    | |  |- seconds         | |  |- track number
    | |---- minutes   -->   | |---- folder number
    |------ hours           |------ special char to denote different mode


  • increase filebrowser char limit

    vb6rocod said on the forums that matching the USB filebrowser's char limit to the one on discs would be difficutl. How come?


  • Disable User Prohibitions (P-UOPs)
    This way you can skip FBI warnings/trailers and go straight to the menu or movie. Sometimes referred to as DVD Quick Play.


  • First to last and last to first filelist patch


  • A/V synching

Good to hear your response techflaws. Many of the mods you are requesting could quite easily be added, the pageup/down should be working with the '>|' '|<' buttons already. And I have written doc's about the first to last and AV sync.

I will not be making mods for a player I do not have myself, many times the player need to be brought back to life with cable in the modding process and wouldn't risk a dead player for anyone else but myself....

Post subject:  Re: New ideas?
Thanks for your reply. So what's your take on play all, folder navigation and of course DVD playback from USB?

What cable are you talking about? Can one use it to revive a bricked player that's had some problems during flashing? Do you think a newbie like me could do this? How much does it cost?

I know I'm clutching at straws here but I want to get those features implementd. Unfortunately my initial polite requests have not been answered by vb6rocod so I hope to find someone else (here) to do it.

Post subject:  Re: New ideas?
About the play all / folder navigation it sounds interesting, I guess it is possible to implement by modding a bit in the source-codes we have available. I will study the issue a bit.

i have not been working with USB-supported players before, none of the ones I have modded has this feature, but I see many great possibilities in a player with USB.

For DVD playback from USB, I beleive New Age is the most experienced to tell if possible or not.... but maybe you can trick the player to beleive your USB unit is a DVD.... dunno.

With a certain serial cable you can manually reflash a dead player. It happens quite often that a player dies during modification eg. when you write new mods.

... If you gather some people and donate me a DVP3260, I would do the modding, else it is almost impossible.....

Regards

Haven't seen any plug for it so is it an USB cable? How much does it cost? I guess it would come in handy anyway since I'm a frequent flasher.

Do you know where to get the cheapest 3260 in the US? Costco has the 5990 for 40 $ but no 3260.

Post subject:  Re: New ideas?
The serial cable are fittet directly to the mainboard of the player. Here is one of the guides to build such a cable... there are others out there: http://leoricksimon.blogspot.com/2007/02/upgrading-divx-player-firmware.html

I live in Denmark, and I don't know where to buy the cheapest player or the difference between the newer Philips models, are the 5990 and 3260 the same? If I should mod a specific firmware I should need the correct player.

Post subject:  Re: New ideas?
I guess you do have some equivalents to WalMart or Costco in Denmark that offer those players comparatively cheap? A friend of mine is good with electronics and could make the cable for me so I would be the beta tester for your mods if you're fine with it. Cause I don't know how soon and how many donors I can find. You know how people like to get anything for free...

From what I've read so far the only difference between 3260 and 5990 is that the latter has HDMI and plays wmv media.

Post subject:  Re: New ideas?
I believe the 3260 uses the cheaper MT1389L chipset while 5990 uses MT1389S. So I guess the firmwares are not compatible... do you have both players?
Author:  techflaws [ Fri Oct 31, 2008 8:01 am ]
Post subject:  Re: New ideas?
Nope, I've tested both but now I have only the 3260 cause I'll be one of the last to swtich to HD, I guess. Someone posted a screenshot of the 5990 chipset which identifies as MT1389DXE. As soon as you've answered my cable question I'm gonna open mine and rip off the cooler to see what's what Wink Cause somehow I'm under the impression I won't be able to raise enough money to donate both players.

I have downloaded both firmwares - from those I can see, that the chipset are different DSP codes differ, same firmware can't be used in the players.

Don't get your hopes up. When I started posting to Softpedia I was simply asking similar question in a polite way. One got answered, the rest ignored which I think is annoying. I mean, there's no difficulty in saying: no, I don't know, can't do it, don't have the time, or something.

I've openend my 3260 and put screenshots on my blog, it has a MT1389DE chipset (no heatsink, btw) instead of the MT1389DXE the 5990 uses.

Hi. I've been absent a couple of weeks, it's good to see a post with ideas for mods... Very Happy

I have no many ideas for new firmwares. I'm not a coder so I don't know what's possible and what's not... Embarassed I think I made a good job with my latest firmware*, thanks to your help, guys!, but now I'm stalled too.

What I can suggest you, Jakob, is to try to check the latest source code to see if you can find how the usb upgrade is done. If I recall correctly I read a post where you said that your player didn't update through usb.

I think it is a modification that will make easier the firmware upgrade proceeding for you guys. (Not my case because my *old* player doesn't have usb, he-he!)

I don't know if it is possible. (Hey, you asked for suggestions, I'm suggesting! Wink )

About your discussion, the DVP5990 has a MT1389S (DXE? model S series), and the DVP3260 has a MT1389L (model DE serie L). Vb6rocod has made firmwares for both. You can find them in my forum:

> Firmware for DVP5990/DVP5992 (announcement post, in english)
> Firmware for DVP3254/DVP3260 (announcement post, in english)

Off-topic: I made a small list of dvd players with DivX support, so if you can help me to add models not listed there I will be very grateful. Just PM'me the details of your player. (By the way, I also made a topic on how to identify a MT1389 chipset here. The post is in spanish but I think it will give you the idea. Those details are provided by Mediatek on one of their datasheets)

Thanks and have a nice day, guys!

(*) Only the subsync is not working on my latest firmware. I tried to patch it by comparing firmwares. The 8032 is correct, but the changes in the ArmCodes are not, so as usual I will ask for your help later, but on a new topic because this i not the place.

Good to hear from you Juan.

Great infos you posted there in the ending of your post.

About the USB... none of my players has USB support so I didn't know if it was standard..... I got quite many players though but all are too old for usb.

I'm not sure I'm getting #4 and #5. They print on the chip whether it's free of lead or not?

Wow! Thanks, techflaws! Unfortunately I cannot see DVP5990 photos because I do not have an account at avsforum... Can you please send me a direct link to the photos, or re-upload them at ImageShack, please?

About how to identify the chipset: #4 identify if the chipset is lead free. If it ends with an 'L' it is lead free (I think all chipsets made after 2005 are lead free). As a funny note, the chipset in the picture I used to explain how to identify MT1389 chipsets wasn't lead free. I had to Photoshop it.

#5 it's just a lot number. Non relevant information.

In the case of your DVP3260 you have:

MT1389DE
0810 - LEAL
KL801736

Model: MT1389DE
Serie: L
Lead free product
Fabrication: 0810 (year/week) -> First days of march, 2008

First I have 5160, but because of USB (I watch 99% of movies from USB), I buy later a 3260 with USB 2.0.... Then I get (buy) a LCD TV and (of course) a new player 5990... I give my 5160 to my mother and 3260 to my sister..... Now I'm happy with what I have....

That's the story with my 3 players...

Alright, but maybe some of Hej456's great guides on this forum, like the one about First to last and last to first filelist patch, would give you some pointers?

I've also just verified what someone posted to the comment section of my blog: neither original nor modded firmware support the german Umlaut 'ü' (small u with two dots above it). Haven't gotten any reply from him whether it's the same on the 5990 but it's definitely the case with the 3260. So I've run some tests on it with weird results:

Original firmware .51:

  • all 3 capital umlauts (Ä, Ö, Ü) are supported
  • filebrowser replaces all 3 small umlauts (ä, ö, ü) with underscore
  • filebrowser displays ä and ö from ID3 tag but instead of replacing it with underscore drops the ü char entirely OR drops ü and every following char


vb6rocod firmware:

  • all 3 capital umlauts (Ä, Ö, Ü) are supported
  • filebrowser displays all 2 small umlauts ä and ö but drops ü
  • filebrowser displays ä and ö from ID3 tag but drops ü OR replaces it with úú (might be due to messed up ID3 tag, but I could see no difference)
  • all chars are displayed from srt subs

About the umlaut chars FA-FF you can try adapting the unicode2cp routine from my Sigmatek XM-400 mod. It has the whole range 1250-1258 selected by a shared mem value, and does the FA-FF to 00-05 conversion too.

Yes, but only from ID3 tag. I've however corrected my pasting mistake above, srt subs do NOT show umlauts in original firmware. I've attached some filebrowser screenshots displaying Umlauts, the quality isn't so good due to my ancient analogue TV card (also when it comes to selected songs Wink ) so please bear with me.

What's freaking me out are the weird úú chars I'm suddenly getting on the modded firmware which seems to be related to umlauts and ID3v2 tags. I've switched back to v1 and those ID tags look good in the filebrowser.

Hello,

I have DVP3980, which seems to be a non-USB version of the DVP5990.

I have found that how I burn the music files to a DVD disc changes the way the special characters are displayed. I have to use ISO9660 and not UDF.

As far as the ú appearing all over the place, burning in ISO mode seems to get rid of the problem. But as an extra solution I also created a font with the characters in the 250-255 range copied to 6-11 not 0-5, which seems to be the best combination on my player. This isn't really a problem as long as I remember to use ISO mode, but I sometimes forget and burn in UDF mode, so changing the font helps in this case.

Even with these changes, the special characters in the 250-255 range are not displayed in the ID3 tags, only the characters from 0-249.

I am using the RISC from the DVP5990 in my player because it includes WMV playback, which my player doesn't.

I am also using the full UnicodeToCP routine that vb6rocod posted in the DVP5100 forum.

I have attached my modified firmware if you want to take a look at it.

Mmh, maybe the experts here can help you out. I for one am surprised that this feature isn't default in the filebrowser as it is used in the setup menu and therefore apparently already in the code somewhere.

Thanks for taking the time but I'm sure that's not the case cause the test files I'm referring to in this thread were all written to ISO/Joliet CD-RW. As I've verified again, these ú chars only show up in ID3v2 tags though they seem to be properly coded, at least I can't find any difference to those tags that display correctly when I check them in Winamp or MP3tag.

Since I do name my files properly I do not necessarily need those tags but I would like to have my umlauts and I can't get why only one of them doesn't work. Of course I also don't get the technical necessity for the player to display different charlengths for disc vs USB...

I never check before how work UnicodToCP from CD/DVD because with my Nero I can't write to disk (I use locale set to Romanian). Yesterday I install ImgBurn and I make an Image (ISO+Joliet) and burn with nero. I make also a new patch for UnicodToCP for 1250 and 1252 based on doc "ExSport_CP125x". I make a new table (256 char) for this.
Well, all good... all char are displayed. Still I don't understand why char in range 0xFA-FF are not displayed from USB... (high byte is ignored from USB, a char like 0x0160 is treat as 0x0060, I get "strange" char in this case).

I'm almost sure that my original patch work also well, I will add this to 5990/12 (now is without any conversion).

Yesterday I install ImgBurn and I make an Image (ISO+Joliet) and burn with nero.

ImgBurn rocks! Why don't you burn your ISO with it instead of Nero? Or better yet, use build mode and select your burner as target device to skip a temporary ISO file on your HD, fastest way to burn ISOs.

Now that you say you made it work, will there be an update for the 3260 as well? I'm still not getting the trouble with MTK chipsets and special chars. I mean, my old Cyberhome 4620 has a Mediatek 1389DE/C (as far as I can make out) and it does display all chars in the filebrowser as well as from ID3v1 (please see attachment).

BTW, this firmware also features New_Age's great feature to position divx subs via remote (screenshot #6).

Post subject:  Argh!
I've done some more testing and I'm appalled to have to confirm that Philips/MTK somehow managed to revive one of the oldest bugs around: whenever an mp3 is played back up to 1 second of the beginning is cut off! The last time I encountered this was 10 years or so ago Sad

This happens on playback from any source with VBR/CBR mp3s as well as with skipped or continuous play. It's of course most notable when you listen to audiobooks and suddenly the first word of the introductory sentence is missing. Any help on that?

Hi!

This doesn't only happen with mp3's, I have noticed the same problem with MPEG files too. Of course, with videos it's not as annoying.

I only got the 5990 yesterday and so far I am pretty pleased with it, except for one big problem: If I have a video (MPEG) in 4:3 format, the combination of DVP 5990 + HDMI cable + Sony KDL32D3000 is only capable of displaying the video in 16:9 Sad The 5990 seems to transmit the wrong aspect ratio to the TV, and the TV doesn't allow me to change back to 4:3 when it thinks the image is 16:9. I haven't read all the threads on all the forums yet, but is there a possibility to avoid this, using the standard or the modded firmware, and if not can it be implemented somehow?

Thanks in advance,
Rob
