Download Firmware HDi Dune 120531_2201_beta

Days after the release of version 120531_2200, HDi Dune already has a successor for this beta firmware ready. In that version, applications have been added, so that there is now access to Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, an extensive weather forecast and various games. However, it is an early test version that is less stable than the beta releases that HDi Dune normally comes with. Fortunately, it is easy to revert to an older firmware. User experiences can be exchanged in this topic on GoT. The changelog for version 120531_2201, which is not yet offered via the auto-update within the media player itself, comes with the following changelog:

Changes since 120531_2200_beta:

• A new application architecture is used, which enables the features listed below.
  • NOTE: The new application architecture affects a lot of things and is not well debugged yet, so some firmware functions may potentially be broken or work worse in comparison with the previous firmware versions. If some function is broken on the firmware version 120531_2201_beta, it is recommended to recheck it on firmware version 120531_2200_beta (which is exactly the same as 120531_2201_beta, but with the old application architecture), or on firmware version 120329_2012.
• Web browser and FlashLite applications engine are better integrated with the main UI, resulting in faster start/stop w/o HDMI reinitialization.
  • NOTE: The set of supported video modes reduced (rarely used PC-specific video modes, which are unsupported by Web browser and FlashLite applications, are removed).
• Added API for the development of custom fullscreen applications based on HTML+JavaScript or C+DirectFB/Qt, running simultaneously with media playback.
  • The video can be played in background, with the application GUI acting as an OSD on top of video.
  • The provided STB JavaScript API and STB C API allow the application to control media playback and other STB functions.
  • SDK and API documentation is provided to integration partners on request.
• Added two fullscreen HTML-based applications:
  • Vidimax Internet video service (for Russia only).
  • Divan.TV Internet video service (for Ukraine only).
