Hello everyone,I am new to this forum and I am having issues with my Dune HD TV-102 firmware. I downloaded the most recent version of firmware successfully, however now my app does not want to load up. I downloaded a previous version of firmware from the Dune website however I am having bit of an issue getting the previous version of firmware onto my Dune device. I followed the instructions for the firmware recovery however when I plug in my USB stick into my device, it does not automatically boot with the recovery mode.Can someone please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly or if I am not performing a step correctly. Ideally if someone can create a quick video of how to install the firmware. Thank you and I hope to hear from someone soon.
Firmware Recovery ProcedureIn case of firmware upgrade crash (e.g.
As promised here is a tutorial for yadis 2.3 before the soon to come closing of the old mpcclub forum.I'll try to be as comprehensive as possible by giving you also some useful tips on the most common problems. Some elements are taken from the tutorial done by Fred on Redmine.Sorry for the screenshots, I'm lazy and it's in french. PROCESSOnce your files are scanned they are added to the left panel yadis with a red '! ' meaning that they are waiting for processing.
Process is made to recover all movie information ( syno, actors. ) and technical file info (format, resolution.).This part is fun and this is where you will have plenty of time to spend if you want to have a collection tailored to your taste and preferences.A. The Process itself:1.
The Process button is easy to use since it's usually just a one click to start. If your files are named correctly there will be nothing else to do. If the search does not work as expected (error when matching a movie), open the button to access some options. The main one is ' change title ' which will open the window you see just above (I will detail below). 'Reload information' can completely re-scan the file if necessary. 'Reload technical' info only rescan technical data without changing the rest.
NOTE: for TV series this process menu is a little bit different with an extra line ' Process all episodes ', this is used when you change the template, the simple use of 'process' when changing template is not enough and causes display bugs. 'process all episodes ' can properly apply the new template to the entire TV show (to be used only when changing the template, 'process' alone can be used after as usual)2. Manual Search: imagine that your file is not well identified by yadis, it may be the case for example for two movies with the same name in tmdb.
By clicking 'Change title' you will see this window. In the search box enter the name (the one you think is correct) of the movie and click on the magnifying glass. Yadis will check TMDB (or TVDB for series, the principle is the same) that will send back all the results of this request in the form of No.
3 (cover + local title + original title + some more infos) so that you can select the correct title. NOTES: In some complicated cases it may be useful to search for the title in its original language, the results are often better and do not worry information will always be loaded in your local language (if it exists of course ). If it's an homonym you can specify the year in addition to the title, for example Toto 2005 does not give the same result as Toto 1939.
If any doubt about the name, do not hesitate to do a search directly on TMDB.com (TVDB.com for series) and change your file/folder name to match exactly the one on tmdb.B. Bottom panelThis is probably where you will spend most of your time (if you want). I think it is quite simple to understand and there is not much to say.
You can manually change everything in this section: parts of the movie production, choose the cover and fanart that you like, or manually modify the technical data reported automatically (especially choose the type of box-art, for example 3D ).Some tips for this part:NOTE 1: For fields with multiple options, such as genres or actors, the convention is to use the comma ',' as a separator.NOTE 2: for genres you have a pop-up menu (the icon on the right of the field) that will bring up the a list of the existing ones. Each genre manually added will be added in the list to be used later. You can play with the filter tool to filter specific genres if necessary.
Warning: the genres from TMDB / TVDB are sometimes 'weird' and may require manual corrections if this is an important thing for you.NOTE 3: In the fanart / cover part, by right-clicking with the mouse, you will get a context menu allowing you to search for other visuals on your HDD or directly in Google (via opening your web browser and a search on google image based on the film's title ). It will help you to further customize and use something else than what TMDB / TVDB is offering.
WARNING: check the ratio and resolution (not 16/9, over 1920x1080.) of imported pictures not coming from TMDb / TVDB, otherwise yadis might crash.NOTE 4: The TV Series part is similar but more limited. You can't change the technical details, and most importantly you can't change the data per episodeor season, only for the complete show (expected changes in V3).C. Filters and status:Small option very handy to use especially if you have a very large collection and / or your collection changes very quickly, the filters help you to manage a large amount of files and filters what you need and not more.Possible statuses are:Checked (green mark): everything is OK, you don't need to touch it anymoreNot checked (blue mark): The scrape is done ( = you clicked the Process button and yadis did his job), but you can still have some manual amendments to do.
Waiting for your approval to go 'checked'.Missing (orange '!' ): network drive is not available, for example, or folder to scan is not available. EXPORTNow that everything is done, just click on the EXPORT button and yadis will generate the interface that your dune will read and will display all menus, backdrops, TV series, shortcuts, sagas. You have created.
Once the first export is done, the next ones are particularly fast because it's incremental, only changes since the last export are exported.That's all, I hope it will help you.4. MISCELLANEOUS4.1 The (famous) double SMB access bug.This bug comes from Dune and not yadis, it also happens with all other existing jukebox.Under which circumstances does it occur?It occurs only when your export folder is located and accessed on an SMB share, while your files, also accessed by SMB, are on a different share.How can you see it?You will get an error message on the dune ' unable to open URL://blablablah ' when you want to play a movie.
Oddly you probably find that some films work, but not others, and you'll scratch your head for hours asking yourself where is the error you made in the configuration of your dune paths.example:NAS has two shares //Server/volume1/ and //Server/volume2/imagine that the interface is in Volume 1 and files in volume 1 and 2, the export yadis directory is accessed through SMB (you created a favorite after browsing network/smb on the dune), and all dune paths for files in volumes 1 and 2 were also configured using SMB. My Movies is definitively the most complex one to use, but their ios/android/WP App is clearly the best. Zappiti might be the most simple to setup/use but customization is close to 0. Yadis is quite easy to set up and very easy (and fast) to use with high customization. Customization is the main reason why I chose Yadis, but I'm still using MM for my disc collection and the ipad App that I use from time to time.If you have a local drive attached or inside the dune, start by using yadis, then the others. Storagelabel'/note in the tutorial to know why. If you only have network drives then you can start with any of them, it doesn't matter.
Yes you can use both yadis and MM as long as all your files are on a network drive and no files are on the dune drives (in fact your situation where you could have multiple dune drives with different files is the most complicated one to manage so my advice is to never use it.)2. MM is built to manage offline discs so it's clearly not a problem.
For yadis there's a small trick to do: for your offline discs, just create a folder with the disc name and inside a dummy video file (someone created one, check the last pages of the main dune thread). Yadis will scrappe it. But by doing so you might also have the MM movie profile linked to this dummy file and not considered as offline anymore (don't think that would be a big deal anyway).
