You can further customise the launcher by choosing which Widgets to show at the bottom of the screen with options such as Networked Media, Apps Market, Local Media and Recently Played available.
Depending on how many files you have, the process could take some considerable time so you might want to leave it running overnight. Those grey thumbnails in a sea of posters really stick out like a sore thumbnail? It is possible to manually edit and add the art yourself but it still feels lacking in this regard. It has its flaws, with the notable absence of an HDMI 2. Beginning with the 4K Ultra HD tests There was no indication from the specs that the Popcorn Hour would be able to handle those, at all, albeit at a maximum screen refresh rate of 30Hz but it would output UHD video at up to 60 frames per second with no problems.
For the foreseeable future, Ultra HD Blu-ray titles will only be at 24 frames per second so the A is in pretty reasonable shape if the format is ever cracked. More importantly, the A had no issues in detecting a variety of film cadences and was able to output them at the appropriate refresh rate via the HDMI port. We will comment that the device got excellent throughput over a wired internet connection, even where powerline adapters were involved. The processor of the player is fine right up to around Mbps but runs out of capability thereafter.
For reference, Full HD Blu-ray rips tend to top out at 40Mbps and Ultra HD Blu-ray is about three times that, so there are no foreseeable issues with the A at this time in this facet of performance. One of the major stumbling blocks with the bulk of media streamers out there is the output of 3D content but this is a very strong area for the Popcorn Hour. On first playing back a 3D ISO, we did need to hit the setup button on the Remote control to enable 3D output but thereafter it automatically switched and engaged the relevant output of the TV — even when output resolution was set at x Audio compatibility is another very strong area of performance for the Popcorn Hour A with every major codec used for discs handled superbly.

Thanks again for your support and encouragement. It means a great deal to us to have you be a part of our community. We are still in the process of sending out invoices. If you have not received one yet and placed an order in November or December of , do not worry, the process is half automated and half manual. This was intended so that we could review each shipping invoice before sending them out to ensure they are correct.
Welcome to the latest update in which we will take you along on our journey here in Shenzhen as we continue to move forward in completing and manufacturing the long-awaited Pocket P. Thanks as always for your continued support and encouragement!
We know you have been anxious to get the latest information on the status of the development and completion of Pocket P. This has been a challenging time in the electronics industry with significant supply chain and shipping problems.
By being here in China, we have been able to face these issues directly and find ways to continue toward production despite the delays, component price increases and scarcity and other hurdles. We were expecting to produce the final production samples two weeks ago.
When our mass production M. The factory we used in February did not return these reels after we had the last batch produced. Sourcing some of these parts took some extra time because they were for tuning the WiFi antenna and of an extremely high tolerance. Our usual vendors did not have these components but, fortunately, we found the exact ones we need.
Our M. Through experience we learned that just because a factory did good work in the past does not mean they will continue to produce at that level. We, however, are always vigilant when it comes to quality control. In the following pictures, you can see some of the discrepancies between the latest PCB on the right and the PCB previously produced by the same factory in February on the left. At first, the factory which produced the PCBs stated that they would rework the PCBs by applying a new solder mask over the existing one.
This was unacceptable to us and we told them they had to produce new PCBs for us at no additional charge. They would have produced new boards with the same problems again! Frustrated, we demanded a refund and, of course, will never use them again. We are now working with our main manufacturer which promises to meet our quality demands and work very quickly to produce our final samples.
The new lead time on new PCB fabrication is 3 weeks from now with assembly to start promptly after completion. We are ready to open up access to beta testers but there is one thing holding us back. If you have been through the process of creating a signed driver package and submitting it to Microsoft for inclusion into their driver database, we would love to hear from you.
Please reply to this email if you can provide any guidance or advice on creating driver packages or if you are or know of someone who is a software development consultant who can create a signed Windows driver. The events of the past few weeks added a month to our production timeline. Had the quality of the PCB fabricator not been poor and had they returned all our components then we would have production samples in our hands right now.
We really appreciate your patience while we go through the final stages of product development. We really look forward to seeing and hearing about what you do with yours! For anyone who ordered from our crowdfunding campaign early-on in November and December of , we will soon be sending you an invoice for the shipping fee.
When we started the crowdfunding campaign we used Stripe as our payment processor. Stripe did not allow us to charge shipping according to your location and we would have had to set a flat rate that would be higher than what it should have been for most countries. At the time of check out we had a notice that shipping would be charged at a later time.
Now that we are getting close to shipping that time has come. When you receive the invoice make sure to take special note of your shipping address to make sure it is up to date. If not, please let us know by emailing us at support source.
Pocket P. Despite pushing our antenna vendor to shorten the lead-time for our custom antennas, they responded that they have limited factory capacity at this time due to a high demand for their products. We will keep those who purchased the LoRa version updated on the new timeline as soon as we are able to reschedule production with our factories based on this new information.
See below for more information about the custom antennas. We will be assembling the PCBs for all the units at the same time but will store the PCBAs for the LoRa version in our factories climate controlled warehouse until we receive the new antennas. We have set up a Discord community for more real-time discussions and eventually AMAs with the team. We only ask that you please avoid sending our team members DMs to ask about production or shipping status as our team has limited bandwidth to respond to these in the upcoming few weeks while we gear up for mass production.
Also, if anyone is having trouble with logging into popcorncomputer. This update will review how we obtained the best range for Pocket P. To provide a quick definition: Antenna Efficiency is the ratio of power radiated by the antenna to the power supplied to the antenna. In early May, we spoke to our antenna partner, Unictron, which makes all the antennas for Pocket P. We requested that they improve on the antenna they had initially developed for us.
That is the antenna we showed in our last update. While this was an improvement over our original chip antenna we were using in earlier versions of Pocket P. Unictron returned back to the drawing board and requested two weeks at the beginning of May to do further research and development. We had initially planned to order the latest DVT PCBs around that time and were told that the position of the pogo-pins connecting the antenna to the PCB would not be moved but to be safe we waited until they got back to us until we proceeded.
We were glad we waited because after their response about the latest antenna they developed, they said that this antenna would only require one pogo-pin and the position had changed slightly. If we had gone ahead with the PCB fabrication and assembly before waiting for the test results we would have had to order another batch of PCBs and have them assembled. This would have delayed mass production even further.
While Unictron was developing the new LoRa antennas, we asked them to test the efficiency of our Wi-Fi antenna. We were pleased with the result. In the following image you can see the antenna location in Pocket P. We can learn a lot about how an antenna will perform from its patterns. Overall, we hope that the real-world benefits for those who purchased the LoRa version of Pocket P.
Without this extra time, we would not have been able to achieve the efficiency that we received as a result of this test. This week our manufacturer will be producing the last DVT that rolls in everything we learned as a result of the previous two DVT revisions.
Assuming everything goes as planned, we should be able to show a completed unit in the next week or so. Our software developers have already developed a significant part of the LCD drivers and as soon as they receive the sample units, they should be able to demonstrate Pocket P.
I apologize for the longer than expected time between updates this past month. I greatly appreciate everyone who is patiently waiting for their Pocket P.
