I am sure I would have spent tons of time trying to chase that down.Does the EVA8000 driver work flawlessly with the 9000? Do all the keys on the remote map over correctly or will my dealer need to modify the driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecodeman Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Uh...yeah.. mine that I didn't order is working out great too. You guys are having problems? Mine's working great!

ILoveC4 Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 If Control4 would come out with something like this I would be in heaven. codeman, are you suggesting about a future product that Control4 doesn't typically pre-announce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Don't worry, if you had a watchful eye at CEDIA last year you would have seen the aforementioned vaporware with no target date (aka "That black box over there is a nice representation of what we'd like to do at some point in the future").http://www.c4forums.com/viewtopic.php?id=2392 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akg4y Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 have no idea how .iso hd will work. I will say that I just realized that c4 does not scan for either .mkv or .mts so you won't get those files with cover art in the video section. Hopefully, c4 can add that in later. after spending more time with the netgear, the cover art section is functional and fast. not as neat as c4's video section, but considering it will show most file formats and does a bunch of other stuff, its a pretty nifty device.tumWhat happens if you rename the MKV files 'AVI' or 'MPG', will they still play via the 9150? If so then that would solve the cover art issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumult Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I tried that on one of the file formats and it did not play through c4. just to correct my quote, as ryan stated, you can type in a file format and c4 will scan and find it. but as you point out, it won't automatically find the cover art. I hope c4 can add this functionality.tum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 There is *NO WAY* Control4 can add that functionality without just relying on the filename, and doing some sort of keyword-lookup on filename, which is not going to be accurate enough to do 'automatic' cover art lookup.The way the 777 (and the .IFO) scanning works, it checks the table of contents, which lists all the titles, chapters, etc. on the disc, which is pretty unique for a fingerprint of which disc it is, so it's right if it finds that fingerprint.Edited to add: That's why when you 're-master' a movie without the commercials, FBI warning, etc., the Control4 system won't automatically find it, since the TOC has changed.The name 'playground days' might be a kids' movie, it might be a porno of the same name, Control4 would have no way of knowing, and getting it wrong is a pretty bad move.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tumult Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 gotcha. doesn't really matter b/c I don't mind searching for cover art. it's a huge step up from whatever version didn't have the video cloud. tum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akg4y Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 XBMC does quite a good job with keyword lookups of movie titles if you name the files well enough (ie movie title plus year)... Still debating putting together a PC just for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm torn about doing that, because Alan quit supporting it so... I dunno. Seems like it would be cost effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 I played around with mine last night and it did a great job adding .VOB files and finding the coverart automatically. There were a couple of movies I had to search for the coverart using composer, but all in all it went well.I was able to watch one of the .VOB's with no buffering issue. The volume was really quiet at first versus where it is with other audio sources, but a quick change in audio settings to -6DB made is perfect.I did use folder2ISO to change one of the .VOB's to an .ISO, but the EVA wouldn't play that one for some reason. No biggie, I will just use .VOB's since those work so well.I haven't tried any blueray or HD content yet, I hope to do that this weekend. I need to get a BlueRay reader in my computer first.

Matt Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 So far so good I found an issue playing movies if the unit isn’t on the home page. Besides that it works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
