New firmware for 5990/37..Thanks to vb6rocod

[vb6rocod]

Hello again!
I've now applied the mod DVP5990K_75.bin, dated December 25th, 2008.
I've tried the karaoke key, but it doesn't affect the audio levels. There are actually vol +/- keys on this remote but they are only for control of an EasyLinked TV, presumably via an HDMI cable, which I don't yet have, but which I intend to buy today or tomorrow.
Now answering your question, in setup in "OSD Language" I've selected English, rather than "Auto (ENG)".
I note that you've removed some of the subtitling options in this release ..... still good though.
Thanks for your time & efforts with these mods. Undoubtedly improving on the stock version.
By the way ... have you ever released anything for a DVP3252K/75? It's another Philips avi-via-usb player I have here, which off course still suffers from the short file name display "feature".
All the best, vb6rocod, from the warmer climes of NZ!!!

What version of DVP3252K/75 do you have? Open tray and press "55". Is "DVP3252_75.bin" OR "DVP3252I_75.bin" ? I can help you (is a "variant" of 3254K(I)_55, and for that I make a firmware).

Hi there .... now confirming it shows "DVP3252_75.bin. Thanks again!

Hi vb6rocod
One more about DVP5996K_51_vb6_v2_3.rar

There is shift In second line of the browser to the right so long names of the files leave for border of the table. Possible this correct? Thank you

vb6rocod, did you ever see that odd "one color gun missing from the display" we spoke of a few weeks ago? I saw it again the other day on powerup.

As before, unplugging it and plugging it back in resolved the issue.

One minor request, if you are working on your update again.. could you load the Philips logo artwork screen into a 2d image editing program, and turn it's brightness now a bit? After the logo is on our screen for a while here, it leaves a bit of a ghost images, and I'm concerned about burn in.

I can always use the tv's white screen to clear up the ghosting, but if the phiips logo was less bright, the ghosting wouldn't be as bad.

Happy new year, and again thanks much for this updated firmware!

I use every day my player and so far "only" one time I have this problem...what can I say... maybe was a "power glitch". If this is not a frequency problem and there is a "easy" solution to "fix" this, I can live with this.
About logo, I'm very "inexpert" in this kind of job.

[Techflaws]

could you load the Philips logo artwork screen into a 2d image editing program, and turn it's brightness now a bit?

Why don't do it yourself (probably using the new logos) and use MTKremaker and Mpegtool to implement it into the modded firmware.

[Gareee]

If vb can give me a link to the image, I'd be happy to modify it, and have it part of the official release.

It'd be nice to contribute something to the cause..

VB: do you have the image posted on photopucket, or an image hosting site?

I'll fix it up, and have new version available within10 minutes of getting a hold of it.

Here is the code, maybe someone have other idea:

Ok, but a picture ???

[Gareee]

VB, what size image do you need for your firmware? I just noticed that philips have a slightly different logo, and can use that as the base for your main philips logo. I assume jpg is ok? Once I have a size, I'll finish the logo page, and then upload it somewhere for your approval or make needed changes to ait per your recommendations.

For logo size is 720x576, but 48px from top and bottom are not see when is set to NTSC. PAL=576px, NTSC=480px
PAL = 576-2x48=480(NTSC)

[philips599037]

Do you have just the background image that is used in this logo as well as for your current File Browser?

[vb6rocod]

Do you have just the background image that is used in this logo as well as for your current File Browser?

NO....

[Gareee]

Well, ya caught me at dinner time, so it took longer. I always see the 3rd one down as the main logo I was speaking about.

Here are 3 alternate candidates from what you listed.. each have the brightest portion turned down about 30% over what is in the latest update, which should reduce burn potential quite a bit.

Feel free to use them as you like. (The last one is a new custom one, but I think I really prefer the "disc" one you provided personally.

[Gareee]

If you'd like vb6rocod logo or credit on any of them LMK, and I'll add it on for you.

[philips599037]

Do you have just the background image that is used in this logo as well as for your current File Browser?

NO....

Any way to get this image as the background for the File Browser?

[Gareee]

Hope I didn't open a big can of tasty worms with this... my point wasn't t ask for custom added images, but to just get the current provided images included in the firmware changed to be less burn in prone.

(Though I do like that last cube/format image just posted)

[u4s]

We Agree With Gareee's Choice Of The "Disc" Version - The Present FileBrowser Background Seems OK To US At The Moment.

[Gareee]

Hmm wonder how that disc version will looked stretched out into widescreen format though?

[vb6rocod]

Because "logo" is a mpeg2 video in firmware, I make movie for all logo's (9 sec. without sound).
Check in player. TAKE A LONG TIME TO LOADING!

[Gareee]

Wow! Grabbing it now! As always we are indebted to you for your hard work!

[Gareee]

Ok, I downloaded them.. now what do I do with them?

[vb6rocod]

Ok, I downloaded them.. now what do I do with them?

Put on "stick" an see how look on player..... Take a very long time from when you press "Play" and "movie" start.
Choose what verision do you like more (what you see on your computer is not all time what you see on TV...)

[Gareee]

will do..

[Gareee]

Checked them out.. f1 and f2 look best I think.

One is Vb's standard philips "starburst" logo, but 1/3rd as bright as his original, and the other id the "disc" version he posted above, also with 1/3rd less contrast then his posting.

(The ntsc versions look the same as the standard one here, FWIW.)

While the others are nice, they either aren't unit specific, or as professional looking at the two I mentioned to my eyes.

You can however see the brightness difference very easily when switching from the current installed starburst logo, to mine which isn't as "hot".

[u4s]

FWIW - We Agree With Gareee's Recent Comments: F1 ("Disc") And F2 ("Starburst") Look The Best - *Either* Logo Might Be OK As Far As We Can See.
