First off, I am still alive . Obviously if you follow this site there has been very little writing of late. Work and family life has just taken control of me of late, not necessarily in a bad way but much of my free time to play around with my tech hobby has disappeared. Kid #3 will be arriving any day now, so I don’t expect things to free up anytime soon, but I still have some articles lined up to publish (first will be my Windows Server 2012 Essentials build which looks like I finally turned the corner and resolved the one outstanding issue I was having).

More importantly though, I have some Dune news worth posting. I spoke with Mike at Duneplayer.com and he confirmed that one final Smart D1 (you can see my Smart D1 review here) run will be done, with approx 1,000 units being produced from some remaining Sigma 8642 chips. He hopes to have stock in about 4-6 weeks, so figure end of August or early September. There will also be a small run of Maxs available as well (probably 100 at most). Now of course some people may be asking why anyone would want a media player running a chip that has been around for what seems like ages. Well, the Dune Smarts are a dying breed of media players that support full BD menus, and imo are the most reliable/stable players on the market. They don’t support Blu ray 3D if that is of interest, but otherwise this will be a great opportunity to get the last stock of Dune Smarts

Additionally, the Dune 3D Max/Pro is still in the works with a realistic target by early next year. Assuming Dune is able to deliver, the new player will provide full BD support (2D and 3D) along with a UI that offers XBMC or the standard Dune UI / jukebox combo.

Dune) in the trailer field (xbmc), but this is a lot of work because we have to do this for all movies. I am sorry for my bad english but i will try to put a sample here: - suppose we have this movie in the HD: D: Movie MoviesHD Title of the movie (2011).mkv - The client will select the movie in xbmc (not in iViewer). Dune HD Max, Dune HD Duo: Flash Memory Storage is always available and its capacity is 100MB (due to total 256MB of main flash memory in these models). Dune HD Base 3.0, Dune BD Prime 3.0, Dune HD Smart D1/H1/B1: Flash Memory Storage can be enabled/disabled (disabled by default) and its capacity is 16MB.

Hi, my name is Damian, and I'm tech gadget addict! Although I always had some interest in technology, it wasn't until I got my EX470 and more importantly found Mediasmartserver.net, that my interest became an addiction. My goal, aside from world domination and to see the Mets/Broncos win another championship, is to set up the perfect digital home where all my media is available at the click of a button. When I am not writing for Mediasmartserver.net you can find me over at my blog at http://www.adigitalhomeblog.com or follow me on twitter

It wasn't enough that VidOn XBMC is an all-in-one digital media center, it wasn't enough that it plays 3D movie files like a cinema, and it wasn't enough that it provides support for a variety of audio passthrough; no, we had to do more.

True 1080p Hardware Acceleration guarantees all media is rendered as clear as possible. Essential CPU tasks are given over to the graphics card to allow for the creation of an image so life like you'll be tempted to step into your TV.

The world's first Android XBMC to offer full support for Blu-ray menu navigation. Watch ISO files as if they were still on the disc and access all of the features previously inaccessible, or skip the menu altogether and simply play your movie.
