EGreat - R1B

[bvxxx]

Hi folks.

I just purchased the Egreat R1B NMT player - after the seller indicated that this new offering is a refresh of the earler M34A, etc. series of good players.
(http://www.egreatworld.com/en/ProductShow.asp?ID=173)

First impressions are great - its really handy in size, has amazingly well designed access to ports and feels quite solid. I've tested it with their latest firware update (http://www.egreatworld.com/en/Download.a...0firmware) - works really well for Youtube, Youku, RSS Reader, etc..

Plays nearly all the formats that I would need and accesses my wireless network with the N-Dongle that plugs neatly in.

However, possibly since this is a new model, I am unable to find applications like the YAMJ/ MyiHome/ etc. for this player and am actively soliciting features that I could add to this player. Any ideas?

The reasons why you won't find YAMJ etc. is because you have not bought a Networked Media Tank.

You have bought one of Egreat's realtek players. They are Networked Media Players and do not have the Syabas NMT firmware and NMT Apps package.

Thanks Chris.
Any ideas on getting applications for the Realtek players? Many other players have implemented shoutcast radio, TV, etc. on their Realtek chipset players (O!Player, Xtreamer, etc.) - any success of porting any of these to Egreat?

No we are a NMT forum so don't have any information on realtek players. The NMT uses Sigma chips.

realtek is more of a turn-key option with a set UI and set features. Low start-up ,as you dont need staff and the chip price is lower, so that's why there are many of these type of players under all sorts of brands.
