Hi,

I'm a new prismiq owner (bought one on ebay) and I'm wondering how to

Please post back to the forum. Thanks!

prismiq.org is dead!

feeds@yuku.com (mr007) — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 14:31:44 GMT

Hi,

I just discovered that prismiq.org is dead.
Anyone knows where one can find the collection of the information and source that used to be hosted there?
I'd like to give a shot to rebuilding PRISMIQ's firmware and make it an actually useful device.

Thanks,

feeds@yuku.com (jetsafl) — Sun, 08 Oct 2006 15:58:43 GMT

ANyone have any luck getting Prismiq Media Manager to work on Windows Vista? I have a copy of Vista RC1 running on an old PC and when I loaded Prismiq MM on it, I could only load images into the manager, it would not load any music or movies.

Rhapsody UPnP

feeds@yuku.com (CVDenizen) — Tue, 31 Jan 2006 23:09:07 GMT

Rhapsody has been mucking with its UPnP server in the new version 3.1 so that true UPnP devices can cause Rhapsody to connect whenever they receive the command for music to be played. But of course, while Rhapsody's been playing with its UPnP server Prismiq's been doing nothing so all of the sudden Prismiq performance with Rhapsody got funky. I could get the onscreen info (blurbs, tracklisting) but no artwork on screen and no music to play. I rescued my machines (I have several Prismiqs...

Updating Newsfeeds

feeds@yuku.com (dugn) — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 13:14:19 GMT

I scoured the boards before posting, but didnt see anything - so please forgive me if this has already been covered. How can I update the newsfeeds on the Home Page. I'm very XML savvy and notice that this is set up to take data from a Mindspring mobile account (which seems pretty shortsighted).

Does anyone know if redirecting this to another newssource will allow the new data stream to be parsed correctly? Any ideas, insights or tips to make this minor function work without getting...

Fix Xvid/Divx Sync Issues

Fix the Divx/Xvid audio/video sync problem
Okay, just fixed some major issue I was having with Divx/Xvid videos where the video races past the audio. It got really annoying and up until now I had to re-encode the whole thing and remove the Packed Bitstream [originally suggested by PaulDriver from www.media-servers.com].

I have now found a tool that lets you remove the packed bitstream from videos downloaded from the net without having to re-encode the whole thing. It takes literally...
