Ha, thanks Mr Eric....think that was one of the buttons I hadn't tried
The patch does also works on other Dune players, not just the TV101/301Dune HD TV-101/301: Patch audio for DTS-HD MA / Dolby TrueHD *UNOFFICIAL*
Officially audio formats DTS-HD MA / Dolby TrueHD and HRA are not supported by the new Dune HD TV-301. But running an Internet Audio Patch (Unofficial) which overcomes this problem.
The patch allows:
1. Decoding to LPCM 5.1/7.1 instead of 2.0 (via HDMI)
2. Support of DTS-HD MA / Dolby TrueHD bitstream

Note: this patch is not official, and its use is at the risk of the user. On the Dune HD TV-101 and 301, no support for its HD is officially provided by the manufacturer Dune HD but this patch allows to operate the HD sound. The Dune HD Lite 53D, the sound is not supported materially by Sigma Designs SMP8653 chip. This patch does not support HD audio in bitstream or decode. Only the core of sound support (DTS or Dolby Digital instead of DTS-HD MA or Dolby TrueHD).
You will [want to set up system storage] if you want to create Favourites (shortcuts) in the Dune GUI. And since not so long ago fw update added the ability to boot straight into a Favourite, eg you can load straight into Yadis or another movie library (Zap fan myself). You use the info button (brings up a menu list) on the Dune remote to create a shortcut to a folder on the Dune, and you use same button on a Favourite to make Dune boot into that Favourite on loading.If all I will use the dune for is movie play back using yaDIS, do I need to make partition for system use?
AS I've never had any local storage in my Dune it was just the obvious place to put it really.Mark, what was the reason for putting the video wall on the unRAID server rather than USB?
Boot straight into yaDIS would be brilliant. Will buy a second usb I think.
Those using yaDIS, may I ask what skins people use? My brother installed XBMC on my mac with Aeon skin - looks amazing don't think Aeon skin is available for yaDIS though?
AS I've never had any local storage in my Dune it was just the obvious place to put it really.
It also means that should I get another Dune for the bedroom etc I could access Zappiti from both players without having to create 2 exports.
