Download Firmware Xtreamer Prodigy 4.0

Version 4.0 of the firmware for the Xtreamer Prodigy has been released. These media players equipped with a Realtek 1186 chipset are designed to play and stream media files from the optional built-in hard drive, a device on the internal network, wired or wireless, or over the Internet. There is a topic on our own GoT with more information about these and other Xtreamer models. This version includes a new music player and there is MiniDLNA, a server that can stream media to various mobile devices. Furthermore, the device is now able to retrieve information about the media files from the Internet. Version 4.0 cannot be put on the Prodigy in the normal way, but must be flashed via the emergency firmware procedure.

What’s new in this firmware?

• New Music Player
  Keeping things as similar to Winamp.
  MusicPlayer mechanism, that is now part of the Prodigy & SideWinder3 firmware, means you will from now be able to navigate your music collection on a content orientation rather than only storage path related navigation. While most of our competitors offer you a device that allow you to navigate your files in relation to where they are physically stored, ver 4.0 allow you to enjoy your music collection and navigate through your collection on their posters. You will be able to make your own playlists, add to favorites and even modify the ID3 tags on TV. Enjoy various new layouts that will turn your device to be more fun and easier to handle. We focused on simplicity, its reliability, and its ease of use. We tried to elevate your expected common daily practices on a PC to be an amazing experience on TV.
  Xtreamer is no longer only a good Movie Player, it is now a superb music player with a slick design and innovative functionality.
• MiniDLNA
  Communicate with all devices.
  In FW 4.0 we included built in server software with the aim of being fully compliant with DLNA/UPnP-AV clients. We decided to bring your Prodigy and Sidewinder 3 devices to work on an industry-wide standard for sharing data over a home network. Stream movies from your Prodigy to your PSP, PS3, your Android Mobile, XBOX or Nintendo WI .If you have a router in your home then you have a network and can use DLNA on the Prodigy on it, and if you have wi-fi then you can do it all wirelessly too.
• Fetching The Movie Info
  An All-on-TV based process.
  Unlike any other media player or streamer in the market that offers a jukebox we rather wanted to focus on simplicity, reliability and ease of use. The Process of adding to your movies a generated information, posters and fan arts is done without you having to do it on a PC before hand. While if you will make prior scanning and fetching process on a special software on a PC it will still work and the result will be shown on your device, we rather prefer you to do all in a few click on the remote control while you are not away from your tv and your device. All you have to do is make you sure your device is connected to the internet and that you press 6 (MENU) on folder with movies. We recommend you to keep every movie on a separate folder. You can Initiate the process on a movie file itself not only on folders with movie.
• System TrueType Font Changing
  Better Look & Feel
  Version 4 introduce you to a new mechanism that allows you to change the system entire font with a click of a button. Simply copy a .TTF font file to folder and press ENTER on the font file. The system font will change the entire system look and feel.

Improvements

• Entire new On Screen Display
  More Stylish System Control.
  We abandoned realtek SDK look and feel for a more stylish system on screen experience. We have improved the ZOOM, GOTO, TIME SKIP, VOLUME and SUBTITLE interaction with the user.
• Xtreamer Live
  Keeping things as you familiar with from your PC.
  Thousands of live internet movie clips and music now integrated DsaPac, a member of our community, with the help of many valuable members in our forums, have created a spectacular project that allow you to enjoy thousands of sources for online streaming content. In Ver 4 we have integrated this project into the base firmware for an easier experience. Just Enable it in the system services Settings menu and accept the disclaimer terms.

Bug fixed

• Many system improvements and bug fixes
  More Mature and stable system firmware.
  The Xtreamer version 4 is in many aspects based on the successful open communication we have with our members of the community. For the past 4 months we have collected their bug reports, suggestions and wishes and introducing you the result. We believe that you will notice the enhanced system reliability, its ease of use and speed improvise the moment you upgrade your system. From little things like adding navigation scroller to big things like system font we tried to elevate your expected common daily practices to be an amazing experience on TV. Here are just a few examples of how your Xtreamer Prodigy & SideWinder3 experience was fine-tuned.
