PLACEMENT

A B

The X3 is designed to be placed on the top of a TV cabinet so that the IR Receiver can receive reflected IR signals from the ceiling and walls - 'A' diagram above. The X3 should not be placed to close to the front edge as it uses the front surface to receive the reflected signals. If the top shelf of the cabinet is glass or perspex then we suggest you place a solid material matt underneath the X3 protruding approximately 40mm to the front.

Should you require to place your X3 on a shelf inside the cabinet - 'B' diagram above - then we suggest you place it very close to the front edge. Now place a reflector made of any solid material under the X3 and protruding by approx 40mm to the front. You can use any solid material as a Infra Red reflector and even a plain piece of folded photo copy paper will work.

REMOTE CONTROL OVER NETWORK

Enable the Web Remote in the Setup Menu. Remote Control the X3 from a mobile device such as a iPhone, iPad or any device that has WiFi and a built in Web Browser. Enter the X3 IP into your Web Browser with the correct Port number eg http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1024 "x" is your actual IP

DLNA DMR

The X3 comes with a DLNA DMR function. That stands for Digital Living Network Alliance Digital Media Renderer. That means another DLNA device can use the X3 to process media without you having to do anything else with the X3 other than turning it on. Music can be played without having to turn on the TV, or you can display photo's on your TV directly from your phone.

A Device which controls this process is called a DLNA DMC - Digital Media Controller. You can get DMC apps for many devices - Android phones / tabs - Iphone / Ipad. Android Honeycomb doesn't come with a DMC installed. Android Market has a lot of them, but not all are able to detect both the X3's DMR, and the X3's Upnp server successfully. Bubbleupnp has been tested with X3 and we suggest that this is a good app to start playing and testing DLNA DMR functionality. Remember to turn the DMR 'on' in the X3 Setup Menu.

HOME NETWORK SAMBA SERVER

The X3 has NAS (Network Attached Storage) functionality built in. And although it is limited in transfer speed compared to standalone NAS servers it performs well if speed is not your major requirement. You can also use the X3 as a Media Server and stream content to other Mede8er's on your home network. The Samba function is enabled or disabled in the 'Network' menu under 'Samba Process'.

You can browse your X3 in Windows - Computer ---> My Network Places ---> View Workgroup Computers. If the Hostname is not picked up by your PC then you can enter either the Host Name or the IP Address into the Explorer address bar

\192.168.0.3 - You type in the actual ip address of the X3

\MED1000X3D - If you have changed the Host Name then type in the new Host Name

If you are using more than one Mede8er on your Network then you should change the Hostname in the Setup Menu. Each X3 should have its own unique Hostname. You must reboot the X3 after changing the Hostname.

SAMBA NAS SECURITY

By default the Samba NAS is a open Public share and it does not require any Login.

You can enable Samba NAS Security and set your own Password to limit access to the content on the X3 Hard Drive.

MEDIA LIBRARY

The X3 Media Library has five built in standard views ie Movie, Music, Picture, List, and Preview. The Media Library has been designed so that the view can be easily changed on the fly. In the Media Library you have the option of changing the Views Manually or you can enable the 'Auto View' option in the Setup Menu. If the 'Auto View' option is enabled the X3 will automatically save the last used 'View' of the folder. The next time you enter the same folder it will automatically change to the saved View. Auto View mode requires that the X3 has 'write' permissions as it needs to save a xml file to each folder. Auto View is disabled in Jukebox mode.

MOVIE JUKEBOX - XML SEARCH FUNCTION

The X3 has a built in XML Search facility that will allow you to sort and arrange your Movie Collection by pre-defined xml filters. The XML Search can be used with content on the internal Hard Drive, external USB Hard Drives, Samba and NFS Network shares.

Library Preparation for XML Search operation

The Media Library must conform to the Mede8er standard with all the relevant movie file information in it's own folder. A typical folder will contain - Video File - Folder.jpg - About.jpg - XML File - Subtitle file. Once you have arranged your Video Collection into individual folders you can use Windows - Y2M (YAMJ To Mede8er) or Thumbgen / Mac - DunX2Mede8er to scan the folders to make the requires images and xml files.

Scanning your Library

In order to provide XML Search functionality the X3 must scan your library and build a Database file. To scan your library you must focus on the Root Folder of your library and press the 'Menu' button and then select 'Add to Favourite' option. Open the Favourite screen and focus on the shortcut and press the 'menu' button and select the 'Scan' option. The X3 will start the scan process and Scan all folders and sub folders in order to build the dBase file. The scan criteria is to only include folders that have a valid Y2M/ Thumbgen / DunX2Mede8er XML inside. The folder depth level is not limited in the X3 firmware but the path of the string cannot be longer than 512 characters and the max number of sub folders cannot exceed 4096. The Database file 'Mede8er.db' will be save to the root of the folder that has been scanned. Network shares must be 'Write Enabled' for the scan process to complete. If new content is added to the root folder then the scan operation must be repeated. Scanning time is quick and it should take about 30 seconds to scan +- 1000 movie folders.

Note: The Maximum amount of Movies in one Database is currently +- 2000. If you scan a library with more movies than 2000 then the operation of the xml Search can become erratic and you may experience that the X3 often crashes.

Note: The Music collection cannot be mixed with Video content.

Basic MP3 direct Scanner Operation

Navigate to the root folder of your Music Collection and press the 'Menu' button and select the option 'Add to Favourites'. Press the 'F4' button on the remote to go to the Favourite page. On the Favourite page select the Icon Shortcut of the Music Collection you just made and press the 'Menu' button and select the 'Scan Folder' Option - the firmware will automatically detect the music files and then scan all the MP3 tags and build a music.db (music database) file and save it to the root folder of your collection. All non MP3 tags will be ignored. Your Music Collection can be in a nested folder arrangement. Approx scanning time = 48 sec /1000 tracks

Multi Codec Scanner Operation

A free Windows PC program called Tagscanner together with a special Mede8er Script is used to scan the music collection and to export the Tag information to a file named TrackList.xml. Once you have installed Tagscanner then download the Mede8er Script and copy it to the 'Script' folder in Tagscanner ie C:\Program Files\tagscan5.1.610\scripts. Remember you still need to install the Mede8er Script. The script download link can be found on the Mede8er Music Online Jukebox Online User Guide.

Once you have completed using Tagscanner to tag and arrange your music collection you must export the tag information to a file called Tracklist.xml. Go to 'List Maker' page in Tagscanner and select 'ALL' the files in your scanned collection and then select the Mede8er script on the right hand side and then select 'export'. The Tracklist.xml will be saved to the root of your Music Collection.

In X3 GUI Navigate to the root folder of your Music Collection and press the 'Menu' Button and select the option 'Add to Favourites'. Press the 'F4' button on the remote to go to the Favourite page. On the Favourite page select the Icon Shortcut of the Music Collection you just made and press the 'Menu' button and select the 'Scan Folder' Option - the firmware will automatically detect the Tracklist.xml file and then scan it and build a music.db (music database) file and save it to the root folder of your collection. Your Music Collection can be in a nested folder arrangement. Approx scanning time = 20 sec /1000 tracks

MUSIC JUKEBOX - Continued

Root of Collection

The 'Root' of the music collection is the folder that will be scanned and linked to the Favourites Page The music collection 'Root' will contain the Tracklist.xml (if used), Music.db and m3u files eg

Music Collection <---- Root Folder

Music Collection/Music Folder1

Music Collection/Music Folder2

Music Collection/Music Folder3 etc

Music Collection/TrackList.xml

Music Collection/Music.db

Music Collection/Playlist1.m3u

Music Collection/Playlist2.m3u etc

V2 Music Jukebox

Music Box Sets / Double Albums

For Music Box Sets or Double Albums you have two options

a) Different 'Album' name for each CD (each CD in their own folder)
b) Same 'Album' name for all tracks (tracks for all Albums in one folder) & insert a prefix in the 'Filename' for each CD eg 1- xxxxxx 2- xxxxx for the sorting order.

Album Artist Field

To avoid the database mixing up the same Album name by different Artists we suggest you use the 'AlbumArtist' tag Another advantage of using the 'Albumartist' tag is that the Artist will be displayed after the Album name on the 'All' page and any Album based page.

Mixed Artist in a Album

For mixed Artists in a Album you must add 'Various' (or whatever name you want) to the 'AlbumArtist' tag for each track. If you do not then each Track will become a Album

Embedded Album Art

IMPORTANT: If you are using embedded art it should be optimized otherwise the V2 GUI can be very slow. We suggest you use Tagscanner to Batch your collection

A) Open Tagscanner Setup and Select the TAG's option and change the settings as foll

1. Coverart Filename ----> folder
2. Custom size of covers ----> 230 x230 Quality 85%

B) On the Tagscanner GUI select the custom image option and it will display 230x230(Custom)

C) Scan your collection with Tagscanner and select all the files and select 'Save' and Tagscanner will resize all the embedded images.

The preferred method is to use a image named folder.jpg in each folder. The folder.jpg will take priority over embedded art and will also show on the Screensaver. Ideal image size is 230 x 230 pixels at 72 dpi in jpg format saved with compression setting of 85%.

For batch processing we suggest a free program Fastone Photo Resizer and for normal image manipulation, correcting aspect ratios. cropping and resizing of the folder.jpg we suggest a free program called Photoscape

Suggested 'Filename' naming convention

We suggest you use the following 'Filename' naming convention (This is not compulsory but suggested)

a) Normal Albums %track%-%title% b) Double Albums/Box Sets 1-%track%-%title% 2-%track%-%title%

You can use Tagscanner 'Music Renamer' function to do this. Note you must firstly make sure that all the Tag Info is updated and correct before you do the Filename renaming.

Arranging your collection

Your collection can be located on your local Hard Drive, USB Drive or Network Share. The advantage of using a Network share is that you can access one central collection with multiple Mede8er's thus making it ideal for a Multi-Room setup.

If you have a big music collection it makes sense to split it up into main categories. This gives you the advantage of being able to better manage your collection in smaller bits as you can still scan the total collection with the added advantage of separate shortcut links on the Favourite Page

So in this example you would have a main folder with sub folders Music Backup_all

V2 Music Jukebox

You can make a Favourite shortcut link to each of these folders.

Favourite Links and Scanning

Before you can 'Scan' a folder you must add it to the Favourite Page. Navigate to the Folder in the Media Library and focus on the folder you want to add and then press the 'Menu' button on the remote and select the option 'Add to Favourites'. The Favourite link will be created and if successful a confirmation 'tick' will be displayed top left of the screen. If you get a 'x' then it means the link already exists or the link cannot be made.

Press the 'Blue' button on the remote to go to the Favourite Page. Focus on the Favourite Shortcut and press the 'menu' button and you see options

Scan Folder - Scan the folder to make a Mede8er database (Music.db).

Remove - Remove the Favourite Link. This option just removes the link and does not delete the source files.

Genre - Change the default folder image into a Genre artwork image for the Favourite Link.

Lock - Lock the Favourite Link so that it is Pin Code Protected.

Unlock - Unlock a 'Locked' Favourite Link.

If you get a warning message "Set NAS to 'off' for Scan" then you must first switch 'off' the NAS function in the Setup Menu and then scan the collection.

For normal image manipulation, correct aspect ratio cropping and resizing of the folder.jpg we suggest a free program called Photoscape.

Add to Jukebox

Mp3 scan only - The Jukebox has a facility that enables you to add Albums to a pre scanned collection. If you are adding multiple Albums the easiest way would be to make a new folder with a date eg 'new_4July2012' and copy your new Albums into this folder. Now focus on the new folder 'new_4July2012' and press the 'Menu' button and select the option 'Add to Jukebox'. The new Albums will be added to the data base.

Tracklist.xml- For Tracklist.xml it is probably a lot easier to just do a re-scan. For those who want the facility you can follow these instructions. Make a new folder eg 'new' and copy your new Albums into this folder. Open Tagscanner and browse to this folder 'new' and scan it and then export a Tracklist.xml. Now in the X3 Media Library navigate to the 'new' folder and focus on it then press the 'Menu' button and select the option 'Add to Jukebox'. The new Albums will be added to the data base. Now copy the contents of the folder 'new' to the root folder.

Music Fan Art

Make a Fan Art image 1280 x 720 pixels in jpg format called 'fanart.jpg' and copy it to a Album folder. The image will then be automatically used as the backdrop when playing the Album.

Shuffle / Random Play

Next/Previous Track function is supported in Shuffle/Random Play mode in the Music Jukebox but you cannot use Shuffle/Random Play and then try to select some other track to play as it is Data Base driven and the Tag Info will go out of sequence. If you want to play some other track when in Shuffle/Random Play mode then you must firstly select the 'All' mode on the Repeat button and then select the Track. Also if you want to change back to Shuffle/Random Play mode you need to start at Track1 and then select it.

NFS (Network File System)

By default X3 uses Samba to stream content on a local network and this should be more than sufficient for most users. NFS can be used for higher bitrate streaming from a NAS or PC. On a Windows PC you will require a NFS client to be running on the host PC. The X3 has been tested and verified with HaneWin but other NFS Servers should work equally as well. Download HaneWin at http://www.hanewin.net/nfs-e.htm

NFS Mount 'Auto Scan'

X3 will Scan the NFS servers on the same IP segment, on boot up. Select the NFS tab on the Devices Page and will see all the NFS mounts that X3 located. You can make a Favourite Link from a NFS shortcut ie focus on the NFS Link and press the 'Menu' button and select option 'Add to Favourite' Note the NFS mount path cannot be added as a shortcut so you may need to create an extra folder as the main mount with sub folders that can be linked as X3 Shortcuts.

To "Add" "Modify" or "Delete" a NFS shortcut press the "Menu" button and the Menu screen will open. Select Add NFS Client and a "ADD NFS Dialogue" screen will open. Fill in the IP Address of the Host PC and the Share Name (Folder Path).

IMPORTANT NOTE:

You may have to enable "Flow Control" or disable "Jumbo Frames" on your Network Card settings if you are using NFS with a 1GB switch on your network. Once a NFS share has been mounted you can press 'F1' to display NFS mount information that will look like this.
