Costumer Evaluations
I purchased this on a bit of a whim and i've got to say it was a fantastic obtain. Painless to use and the wireless is also incredibly very easy to use, I just put in my network crucial and then I could browse files in my shared document folder. I have a lot of films on my computer, most of them being .avi format and it is brilliant at sreaming the film to my television. No loss of top quality that I can see.
If there is was one particular snag I would say that the forwarding of the films could be far better designed as it is fine when you want to forward a bit but when you want to finish off a film that you previously didn't finish, it takes time to get to the point you had been at. Could have done with a 'jump to time' option or one thing.
General although I'm rather pleased with it
Not a poor media player, but really let down by the supplied firmware. To push the possible of the hardware (mainly the on the net capabilities) you have to have to upgrade the firmware. This is a fairly rather simple process involving downloading a file to a blank flash drive and rebooting the player with the flash drive plugged in.
The official firmware upgrades give you some basic over the internet functionality, but it is nevertheless quite limited in scope and flaky.
Search for "wellu firmware" - this is an unoffical firmware mod that adds Youtube, streaming movies and video podcasts and channels via Metafeeds (even some HD ones). Not every little thing online streams 100% (I suspect that some Quicktime or flash video may very well be giving complications?) but it really expands what the Oplay Air can do. I wonder why Asus did not develop in this sort of functionality in the initial spot..
