* Added support to play background music during photo viewing.
- Instruction: just launch a playlist consisting of both photos and
audio files, e.g.:
- Press PLAY on a folder containing photos and audio files.
- Put .M3U playlist file with links (paths) to audio files into the
folder with photos, press PLAY on this folder.
- Press SELECT to manually mark photos / audio files (or folders with
photos / audio files), and press PLAY. (Note: marking files works
only within single parent folder.)
- The following RC buttons are available for controlling background
audio playback in photo viewer:
- MUTE, V+/V-: mute and volume control.
- PAUSE/PLAY: pause/resume audio.
- NEXT/PREV: go to next/previous audio file.
- REW/FWD: the same as NEXT/PREV.
- NOTE: To navigate and pause/resume the photo slide show itself,
LEFT/RIGHT/ENTER RC buttons can be used.
- Notes:
- Limitations: WMAPro audio file format is not supported for this
feature; all other audio file formats should work (including MP3,
FLAC, OGG, APE, WAV, WMA, etc).
- All audio files are played sequentially (in the original order) in a
loop.
- Audio files using the same or compatible audio codec are played in
gapless mode.
* Other photo viewer improvements.
- ENTER RC button in photo viewer allows to pause/resume the slide show
(and LEFT/RIGHT, as before, allow to go to next/previous photo).
- Bugfix: specific huge panorama photos were handled wrongly in photo
viewer.
- Bugfix: photo viewer could crash in specific rare cases.
* Added support to play music w/o using TV, using the front panel display.
- The name of the currently selected item of the file browser (e.g.
file/folder) is shown on the display.
- When playback of a file/audiotrack starts, its title is shown on the
display for a few seconds.
- The currently selected playlist item (when playlist browser is
activated by pressing POP UP MENU RC button during playback) is shown
on the display.
- Long names/titles are scrolled through the display.
- The new features can be disabled via settings in "Setup /
Miscellaneous / Built-in Display".
* Added support for ALAC (Apple Lossless) audio files.
* Added support for WavPack lossless audio files.
* Added support for MMS audio/video streaming protocol. (864x/865x)
- Useful for MMS-based Internet Radio and Internet Video resources.
- Both playback and recording of MMS streams is supported.
- Usage: launch playback of MMS URL ("mms://...") via .M3U playlist file
or in any other way supported by Dune.
* Added 24/50 and 24/60 autoframerate modes.
* Added "dynamic range control" support.
- Added "Setup / Audio / Dynamic Range Control" setting, with possible
values "Off", "Medium", "High", "Auto". Allows to specify the desired
DRC behavior for audio tracks supporting DRC.
* Volume control improvements.
- New graphical volume indicator during file and DVD playback, with a
special warning (red color) about possible overload (volume level more
than 0dB).
- Added a new setting "Audio / Volume control" with the following
possible values:
- "Off". Volume control is completely disabled. The volume level is
fixed at 100% (0dB) and the player does not perform any
modifications of the digital audio signal.
- "Best quality". The default setting. The user is allowed to control
the volume in the safe range till 0dB (ensuring no audio
distortions on all audio content). When needed for specific files,
it is also possible to temporarily overcome the 0dB limit by
pressing and holding "V+" RC button for several seconds (the
increase volume level takes effect only for the current playback
session and is automatically reset to 0dB when the playback session
finishes).
- "Allow overload". The setting corresponding to the behavior taking
place in previous firmware versions. The user is allowed to set the
volume to values greater than 0dB. Depending on played content,
this may lead to severe audio distortions and thus is not
recommended.
- Added a new setting "Audio / Volume indication" with the following
possible values:
- "Percents". The default setting. The volume level is shown as
[0..100%] (corresponding to [-48..0dB] range). When the volume
level is set to 100%, the player does not perform any modifications
of the digital audio signal. Overloaded volume level is shown as
(100..150%] (corresponding to (0..+24dB] range).
- "Decibels". The setting corresponding to the behavior taking place
in previous firmware versions. The volume level is shown in
decibels.
- Volume control OSD for background audio during photo viewing is
implemented in the same way as for regular file playback.
- NOTE: As in previous firmware versions, the player can apply volume
control only to PCM audio signal (i.e. when playing PCM audio tracks
or audio tracks which are decoded by the player itself); when using
"bitstream" audio output mode and playing audio tracks supporting
bitstream output, the volume control does not take any affect. When
A/V receiver is used, it is recommended to control the volume using
the A/V receiver.
* Zoom improvements.
- Added a new zoom preset for file playback: "full fill screen" --
similar to "fill screen" but with filling the entire screen both
vertically and horizontally.
- Bugfix: remembering zoom settings could work wrongly in some cases.
* Blu-ray INFO OSD improvements.
- Added showing of the total playback time in INFO OSD during Blu-ray
playback.
- Added showing the information about secondary video and secondary
audio tracks in INFO OSD during Blu-ray playback; some other related
changes/improvements.
* Other OSD improvements.
- When performing time navigation using LEFT/RIGHT/UP/DOWN/P+/P- RC
buttons (in file/DVD playback mode), the OSD does not only show the
selected playback position, but also shows the offset from the current
playback position.
- Certain notification OSD elements, such as volume control and certain
information messages can now be quickly hidden by pressing any
non-relevant RC buttons (no need to wait for autohide timeout).
* Improved handling of RC buttons during playback.
- CLEAR RC button allows to restore the default vertical position of
subtitles in subtitles setup mode.
- PLAY RC button is not used anymore for starting/stopping recordings;
only REC RC button should be used for this. (For models with the new
RC with REC button.)
* Improved handling of RC buttons in file browser.
- PREV and NEXT RC buttons are handled as P+/P- in file browser (allow
to switch to next/previous page in large directory listings) (the
feature requested by some users of universal remotes).
- Added a possibility to quickly toggle interface language: AUDIO RC
button on the main screen shows a dialog for choosing the language.
* Improved handling of front panel buttons in file browser.
- PREV and NEXT front panel buttons now allow to navigate both when icon
view is used (handled as LEFT and RIGHT, with ability to go from one
row to another) and when list view is used (handled as UP and DOWN).
* Added support for Hebrew (Right-to-Left) filenames.
* Added clock on front panel display in standby.
- Clock is shown automatically when time is synchronized (i.e. time
synchronization option is enabled and Internet connection is working,
or a time server in the local network is used); when time is not
synchronized, clock is not shown.
- NOTE: Time synchronization is automatically enabled after upgrade to
this firmware version. If not needed/desired, it can be disabled via
"Setup / Miscellaneous / Time synchronization".
- Clock is shown in "software standby" mode only.
- Clock showing can be disabled via "Setup / Miscellaneous / Built-in
Display / Show time on display".
* Added new UI customization possibilities (for "dune_folder.txt"
applications).
- Added dune_folder.txt feature: possibility to specify the default
sorting settings for the folder. Syntax:
- sort_field = name|size|atime|mtime|unsorted
- sort_dir = asc|desc
- Added dune_folder.txt feature: paths in the definition of virtual
items can be relative paths.
- Image/icon files can now have also special extensions .djpg, .dbmp,
.dpng (helpful e.g. to allow Movie Collections PC applications to
prevent indexing of the files by OS for better performance).
- Added a possibility to load icons shown in the right panel of the
"extended list view" asynchronously. When this feature is enabled,
navigation in such folders becomes much faster.
- Syntax:
- async_icon_loading = yes
- Added "icon_archive" feature, allowing to download a collection of
icons/images from an HTTP server once when entering certain folder,
and cache it in the player (in System Storage), that allows to
significantly improve the performance.
- Syntax:
- icon_archive.{n}.name = {name}
- icon_archive.{n}.url = {HTTP-URL-to-TGZ-archive}
- icon_path = icon_archive://{name}/{file-path-in-archive}
- When a new version of the icon archive is deployed on the HTTP
server, a modified URL should be used for it, then the player will
automatically reload the icon archive next time when the user opens
the folder.
* Added new possibilities for authors of FlashLite applications. (864x)
- Added ability for FlashLite application to store persistent data in
the flash memory of the player ("persistent SharedObjects").
- Added support for showing specific text message on the front panel
display (for player models having front panel display) on startup of
FlashLite application.
- More information:
http://dune-hd.com/support/flash
* Added IP Control possibilities (control the player from iPhone etc).
(864x/865x)
- A simple HTTP protocol allows to control the player from network
(start/stop playback of the given media resources, control the
playback, check current player status, emulate RC button presses,
etc).
- Applications for various devices can be created based on this IP
Control procotol. Several such applications are already announced /
provided (e.g.: applications for iPhone/iPad, integration with
Control4 smart home systems).
- More information:
http://dune-hd.com/support/ip_control

- Added a possibility to use DVB-T w/o system storage (support for nice
channel icons is disabled in this case).
- Added a possibility to specify the location (country and city) when
scanning for the channels (speeds up the scanning process and also may
improve the results of the scanning). The location can also be
specified in Setup / Applications / DVB-T.
- Added showing of progress information during scanning and a
possibility to stop the scan process.
- Added a possibility to launch the scan also from the settings page
(Setup / Applications / DVB-T).
* Torrent client improvements.
- Maximum number of torrent client peers is set to 50 by default (to
prevent problems taking place in some cases, as reported by some
users).
- More correct reporting of errors by torrent client in some cases.
- Bugfix: torrent client did not support working with partition-less
storage devices.
- Bugfix: automatic startup of torrent client on boot could not work in
some cases.
* Network setup improvements.
- Added a new network configuration mode: "Auto (DHCP), manual DNS",
allowing to use DHCP for automatic configuration of basic network
settings, but specify DNS settings manually (as needed for some
Internet providers).
- Improved indication when the player is waiting for IP address.
* WiFi setup improvements.
- Added an ability to choose WiFi network from the list.
- Setup / Network / (WiFi) Settings -> Scan for networks...
- Added autodetection of the best possible WiFi security method when
choosing WiFi network from the list.
- WiFi password is shown as normal text to make it easier to
enter/validate it.
* Added PPPoE support (864x/865x).
- Added PPPoE network connection kind (i.e.: Dune connected via Ethernet
cable directly to an Internet provider which uses PPPoE connection,
with login/password-based authorization).
* Added SMB server settings (Setup / Applications / SMB Server).
- Server name.
- Workgroup name.
- Server description.
- Ability to disable SMB server.
* Time zone setup improvements.
- Time zone configuration (Setup / General / Time zone) is made more
convenient: for each listed time zone, the current time taking place
according to this time zone is shown.
* Setup usability improvements.
- When the user tries to exit "Video" or "Network" setup screen with
unsaved changes, a warning dialog is shown. The user is asked to
either apply the changes, discard the chances, of cancel the action.
- When selecting WiFi network connection type, the WiFI settings dialog
is shown automatically.
- When selecting PPPoE network connection type, the PPPoE settings
dialog is shown automatically.
- The setting "Analog audio output mode" is renamed to "Audio decoding
mode" (since it affects both analog audio outputs and HDMI audio
output). (Ultra/Mini/Lite 53D)
- The setting "Maximum S/PDIF sample rate" is renamed to "Maximum
digital outputs sample rate" (since it affects both S/PDIF and HDMI
audio outputs). (Lite 53D)
* Added built-in "Reset Settings" function.
- No more need to use a DSF file for this.
- Usage: "Setup / General / Reset Settings".
- Resets all player settings to default values and also clears all other
user-related data stored by the player in main flash memory (such as:
file/DVD bookmarks, configuration of network folders, etc).
- Also clears Blu-ray cache (also known as Blu-ray local storage) in
System Storage (when System Storage is attached).
- Also clears all user-related data stored by the player in System
Storage (including main screen shortcuts and cached icon archive
data). NOTE: the content of Internet Radio and IPTV folders is not
cleared automatically (since these folders may contain files important
for the user); if needed, these folders can be cleared manually.
- Also clears all data in Flash Memory Storage.
* Added built-in functions for management of System Storage.
- New Setup page "Miscellaneous / System Storage" provides the following
functions:
- "Initialize System Storage": allows to initialize the system
storage if it is not configured yet. Two possibilities are
provided: create the system storage on an empty storage device (USB
flash drive, SD card, an already existing HDD partition), or
partition an empty HDD into system storage and user data
partitions. Usage instructions:
- The system lists all found empty 1GB+ storages.
- Select the desired storage.
- If the selected storage's capacity is less than 100GB, the
entire storage is initialized as the system storage.
- Otherwise, if the selected storage is 100GB+ storage device, it
is partitioned into two partitions, the first partition is
initialized as the system storage, and the second partition is
kept unformatted (to format it, select it in the file browser
and press ENTER).
- "Deinitialize System Storage": allows to deinitialize the system
storage if it is already configured.
- "Clear System Storage": deletes all data stored on the system
storage. This, in particular, includes Blu-ray cache, main screen
shortcuts, content of Internet Radio and IPTV folders.
- "Clear Blu-ray Cache": clears Blu-ray cache (also known as "Blu-ray
local storage").
* Added support for "Flash Memory Storage" - an area of main flash
memory that can be used to store data instead of System Storage in some
cases. (864x/865x)
- Flash Memory Storage currently can be used to store the following
data:
- Data cache for dune_folder.txt applications utilizing
"icon_archive" function (graphics packages downloaded from
Internet).
- Data cache for KartinaTV application (graphics and some other
information downloaded from Internet).
- For all other kinds of data that can be stored in System Storage,
Flash Memory Storage can not be used, and System Storage is still
required. This includes, in particular: Blu-ray cache, main screen
shortcuts, content of Internet Radio and IPTV folders.
- In future, it is planned to allow to use Flash Memory Storage for more
player functions.
- The purpose of Flash Memory Storage is that it makes it easy to use
the corresponding player functions for the users not having System
Storage attached. When System Storage is available, Flash Memory
Storare is not used (System Storage is used instead).
- Flash Memory Storage availability and capacity depends on a particular
Dune model.
- 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. Enabling Flash Memory Storage is performed
automatically when it is needed for the first time, or can be
performed manually via Setup. When Flash Memory Storage is enabled,
some optional firmware components (asian fonts) are removed from
the flash memory. When firmware is reinstalled/updated, Flash
Memory Storage becomes disabled again and these optional firmware
components are restored automatically (until Flash Memory Storage
is required again by some application). If these optional firmware
components are required, Flash Memory Storage can not be used
(System Storage should be used instead).
- Dune HD Lite 53D: Flash Memory Storage is always available and its
capacity is ~16MB.
- Setup section "Miscellaneous / System Storage" allows to see the
current status of Flash Memory Storage and provides the following
functions:
- "Enable Flash Memory Storage": allows to enable Flash Memory
Storage (only for Dune models where Flash Memory Storage option,
other Dune models have Flash Memory Storage always enabled).
- "Clear Flash Memory Storage": deletes all data from Flash Memory
Storage.
* Integrated "KartinaTV" Internet TV service. (864x/865x)
- More information:
http://dune-hd.com/support/kartina_tv
* Integrated "IVI.ru" Internet Video service. (864x)

http://dune-hd.com/support/ivi_ru
* Various other improvements.
- Changed indication of "AC3" and "EAC3" audio tracks to "Dolby Digital"
and "Dolby Digital Plus" (as required by Dolby).
- Bugfix: pressing POP UP MENU on main screen shortcuts pointing to a
non-accessible network resource could cause a lockup for several
minutes.
- The function of quick video mode choosing now provides feedback using
the LED on the front panel of the player:
- When the function is activated: the LED blinks once.
- When the user cancels the function: the LED blinks once.
- When a new video mode is chosen: the LED blinks 2 times.
- When the user confirms the new video mode: the LED blinks 3 times.
- The function of checking EXT2 filesystem now correctly reports an
error when the user tries to use it on an HDD with capacity exceeding
the maximum supported limit.
- Some interface languages added/updated.
- Some other improvements/fixes.
- Other minor fixes.
