Video player with audio switching (GTVBox/ViMu Player)

You are right. I turned it off in the preferences and it no longer switches to 24Hz. Thanks! It was anoying because the Samsung TV notification about the switch covered the top of the screen and i couldnt see the list of items on GTVBox. What is the point of it doing that as a default? Isn't 60Hz better then 24Hz.

24Hz is what movies are typically filmed in. 24 frames per second. Having that content displayed at 24Hz is a more accurate rendering of the movie. Of course the TV is actually still running at 120Hz, 240Hz, or 600Hz etc. depending on the TV. It simply refreshes the same image multiple times each. For example at 240Hz it displays each frame of 24Hz content 10 times per second.

I see! Thanks for the explanation. Is there a negative impact on having the GTV output at 60Hz instead of 20Hz? I'm not loosing any resolution, am I?

need to retry to load film from DLNA server.
sometimes it continue to loading screen.
but use logitech media player is OK

Logitech Player simply downloads and plays a file.
GTVBox streams files over a proxy, which sometimes cause fails on startup, but allows parsing subtitles and has more stable connection in general

really? GTVBox dlna function support subtitles?
need hot key to switch subtitles encoding, I get some subtitle in Chinese, I use gbk and urt8 it does not show correctly.

GTVBox should display internal MKV subtitles with any server, that does not transcode stream.
SRT subtitles work with Twonky server.

Try to open your srt file in a browser and check what encoding it will detect.

I know this is a SUPER NEWBIE question, but i just switched from windowsXP to windows 7, and I dont know how to create the smb share on Windows 7.
If somebody please can help me to do it, I will be very grateful

BTW the in app subtitles idea is great, please implement it.

Hm. I don't remeber exactly as I use Windows not often, but it should be as easy as right clicking a folder, selecting properties and share. And don't forget to set Everyone to access.

I wonder if someone here is interested in NFS share support for GTVBox...

does GTVBox read Apple's mv4 coverart & movie tag info? I have converted and tagged all my movies and I don't want to reconvert them into mkv files

No. Parsing data from M4V is not supported.
