Re: ArcSoft to Debut Total Media Theatre 5
I originally went with TMT 2 back in the day because PDVD wouldn’t play folder structures via command line from MyMovies. Then once I paid for it there was no reason to buy another version until Win 7 came out and TMT2 didn’t work right on it. But at that time PDVD was having its issues with BD. It seems they were always one step (6 months or so) behind TMT.
The only issue I have now is what Chasseer said about downloading an update. For me it isn’t the player looking for an update it is AnyDVDHD looking for one. Which I understand because I only get this issue on a BD that has been released for only a day or two. The annoying thing is that this message pops up behind the GUI and it is so rare I tend to think I need to do a restart. As it is shutting down I see that little popup that was behind the player GUI.
And new protection schemes do cause older players to fail. My father in-law has an old Samsung that doesn’t play a lot of the new releases and the firmware updates are always way behind.
I’d look at the AVSForums about sounds issues with TMT. I think there are some settings that might have to be adjusted in TMT itself.
