Install Xbmc On Dune Hd Connect
Although compact the brand new PRO 4K Premium Media Player. Since this is an Android OS based system you can access the main tab from the setup page. Are the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth status of the player (connected devices). I was surprised to see that KODI was running at 1080p (Full HD).
Quite obviously because dropping android is a pertinent and topical subject of potential interest to current owners, prospective owners and some now ex-owners.Did you really need to ask that question?Speaking personally, this is my second Dune - coming from a Smart D1. I had no idea that there was even talk of adding Andoid and I'm not bothered if it never arrives. I got an HD solo as an upgrade. I knew, based on experience, it would be another great player with good support and full menu support in blu-rays. Again my personal view. That may well be the case but on Dunes part it shows a fairly cavalier disregard for their customers.
How else could that manifest itself? Perhaps early next year they'll launch something new and just forget about developing this box. It just sets bad precedent and android would have been nice to play around with for five minutes at least.Given their depth of experience and knowledge the users of this forum are well capable of assessing whether or not Dune has a fairly cavalier disregard for their customers. I suspect that the owners of previous Dune models would disagree.But, does this sort comment add anything useful? You made your point many posts ago.
Manufacturers change specifications - it happens.

I suspect that the owners of previous Dune models would disagree.But, does this sort comment add anything useful? You made your point many posts ago. Manufacturers change specifications - it happens.Actually I anticipated that Android will not be implemented on Dune Solo 4K in one of my previous posts on 23 of October 2016.Although the arguments I used at that time are not so good, I had a feeling that this will happen.Sorry to quote myself. Dune is notorious for not be able to keep their promises to its customers.I am Dune customer from 2008 when I bought a Dune HD Max and I can remember, at least 2 times, when Dune failed, big time, to keep their promises.HD Max is featuring 2 strange connectors. Dune said it will produce some boards to connect to the 2 connectors and do some fancy things.What a dream!
An up-gradable product!Dune also promised it will upgrade Sigma processors for its HD Max customers (aftermarket), on customer's cost.I could not resist and I bought a HD Max! It was about the same price as it is Solo 4K.I was dreaming to the day when I will have a new processor and the extension boards.As you could guess, it did not happen.After that, Dune never excused to the customers for not keeping their promises.Dune simply moved to a new product and forgot their promises.It could happen in Dune Solo 4K case, I hope not.Dune is promising it will bring Android on Solo 4K. Fine.Developing Android will be an investment for Dune.
Especially because Dune does not have too much (I would say any) experience with Android.Also maintenance for 2 operating systems Linux and Android will increase the costs. The number of firmware to be produced could double. Just simple mathematics.What do you think it will be the return of investment if Dune keeps the promise and make it happen with Android?You would say they will sell more Dune solo 4K.I would say Dune will sell about the same number of Solo 4K, if Dune keep promising to the customers that it will be Android.I am sorry for this pessimistic scenario, but I think it is better to know and not to expect too much from Dune.Thank you for reading this post. That may well be the case but on Dunes part it shows a fairly cavalier disregard for their customers. How else could that manifest itself? Perhaps early next year they'll launch something new and just forget about developing this box.
It just sets bad precedent and android would have been nice to play around with for five minutes at least.As I've already said I had a Dune Smart D1 for years. It was extremely stable when I got mine in 2012.They were still providing firm wares until fairly recently. In fact the first firmware release is dated and the last.
That's about five years ongoing support,pretty good in my eyes. Anybody been messing with media hardware for more than a minute.should. know that you never buy a piece of hardware because of what it might be able to do in the future. You buy it for what it can do right now, or don't buy it at all.Sorry to disagree, Dune is what we call a 'half baked' product.We know this from the beginning.But I would say that this is the most exciting thing about this player and other players like this player: to be developed on the go, sometimes with your own suggestions, to wait for the new firmware to show up, this is the excitement.

You made your point many posts ago. Manufacturers change specifications - it happens.I suspect some owners are more forgiving then others.
How many promised PRO models where announced, Did anyone ever get the upgrade board for the max/smart series? A agree changes happen but I think a lot of us old time people are so used to it we dont even notice anymore and just pass it off, when as a customer you should voice your opinion and do returns or something to show what the customers want. Hi, just a quick inquiry. What maximum size external USB HDD can the Dune HD SOLO 4K Media Player accept?
I'm looking at either the Seagate Expansion 5TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STEB5000100) or Seagate Expansion 8TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STEB8000100)Kind Regards SkyKing20Dune Solo 4k is USB 2.0 but backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and the external HDDs you are quoting fall within the spec.' Play content from any HDD (internal, USB, NAS) of any size (including newest 6TB+ HDD models'.

You buy it for what it can do right now, or don't buy it at all.this should be the first sentence written in the OP for any media player!Anyone with a little history of dune players should remember all their promises that they didn't keep in the past. That didn't start with the solo but as far as old Base models (untaru gives a good overview in his post), from extension boards, youtube apps, source direct output, upgradable players, HD audio removed from some players.
