pfSense FreeSWITCH package has become multi-platform it still works on pfSense but now it works on FreeBSD, Linux, Windows, Mac OSX, Open Solaris and others. I’ve named the project FusionPBX and doubled its features.

New features.

I don’t play the VOBs, I prefer to transcode my DVD’s to divx so they take up less space. However, a folder in the NAS acts like a playlist, choose the first VOB and it should continue playing on the next one (note, I haven’t put that particular advice to the test, but that’s how it works with every other media file I have). All playback is initiated by browsing to the directory on the NAS and selecting the file I want to play.

Great review – thanks. I just called LG and it was mind boggling how little they knew about what I was asking about (CIFS).

I’m looking into the Netcast/CIFS enabled LCD displays (42LH50). I typically rip my dvds onto my NAS box which results in X_TS folders with a series of IFO and VOB files.

I’ve read that you haven’t gotten the menus to work, but how do you manage to get the multiple vobs that make up a movie to play in order?

Also – how do you initiate the playing? Do you just browse the file directory on the NAS to the folder that holds the movie you want to watch?

TIA!

Thanks, that helps a lot; now that I know that it plays mkvs at 1080/24p it seems like the perfect blu-ray player for me; im going to buy it for sure.

Thanks again.

24hz content plays at 24hz. 1080p/60hz is not changed to 24hz. 720p content appears to be upscaled to 1080p/24hz. I have the 1080p mode set to 24hz in settings. Hope that helps.

Hi, sorry to bump this, I’m planning on buying this player, and i’ve been reading lots of forums and reviews, but I still have one question left.

Right now I have a BD370 and I dont use it to watch mkvs for two reasons: it doesnt support ntfs disks, and it outputs 24p mkvs at 1080/60hz.

I know that the BD390 supports ntfs, and thats great; but I need to know if it outputs 1080/24p when playing mkv files at 24p.

Thanks in advance.

Ok thank you for your effort, it would be so nice if the LG BD390 could actually provide the same functionality streaming from a networkshare as from playing a real DVD or Blu-ray disk.

It would actually be an all in one solution for both the above mentioned NAS streaming – DVD menu problem I have, as well as for the problem that I don’t have a way of getting the sound of the movies I stream from the NAS to my stereo (as my Samsung LED TV only has a digital audio out and my amplifier only has analogue audio in ) and my need for a standalone dvd/blu-ray player.

But probably that wish will be to good to be true

I used my Mac to rip it and just copied the *_TS folders to the NAS. While the VOB containing the menu displayed, I couldn’t actually use the menu. The rest of the VOBs did play and I could ‘chapter skip’ to them (whether or not they were actual chapters in the DVD I dunno). It’s possible I ripped it poorly, it was just a test. If I get a chance tonight, I’ll mount the share on the Mac and see if the menu works right in VLC. This isn’t my typical use of the streaming capabilities, so it’s not terribly important to me if it works right or not – I’d rather transcode the video into a better codec and save a few gigabytes of space.

Hi Billm thank you for your reply The DVD rip you are mentioning, is it a rip made of .vob files with a regular DVD setup menu? If that wouldn’t work through CIFS that would be quite a shame unfortunately.

If CIFS works just like streaming from a normal network share then I don’t understand what would be the difference for the LG BD390 to get the date from a real DVD-disk or from a network share, in both cases it would get the same data, so why wouldn’t it be able to make navigation through the DVD-menu work in both ways I wonder?

Same for the fact that on my notebook it’s no problem to use the DVD setup menu of a DVD .vob or .mkv which is located on the network share of my NAS with Windows Media Player.
