i'm confused about the lot of attached fw´s in this topic.

which should i use in austria (german speaking) ????????

subz3ro: Great work ! Subtitle size can be selected, and no jerkyness !
Thanks a lot !

Because some time ago I made some fonts with Width multiple of 4, I used them now in the Gufiak and subz3ro firmware.
I always use the biggest font for subtitles in all my players. (But I don't have any Pioneer player).

1250 (Firmware suitable for these languages: English, Croat, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene and Serbian.)
[attachmentid=431]


1252 (Firmware suitable for these languages: English, Albanian, Danish, Dutch, Faroese, Finnish, French, German, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish. )
[attachmentid=432]

enjoy,
Mtz

I'm still on Gufiak beta 7 firmware 'coz the last time i tried the 1.09.02 firmware, the subtitle is not at the center....very annoying actually...

Just wanted to know is this firmware actually solved the above problem ....thanks

Thank you very much, Mtz!
Your font looks pretty good, though it is "width:4"
I will test it later today, when I come home from the office...

I have tried Pioneer_Gufiak_Mtz_1250.zip from mtz......no major problem ....but switch back to Gufiak beta 7 firmware 'coz the Pioneer_Gufiak_Mtz_1250.zip subtitle is not center ..(very noticable the subtitle is move towards right hand side).......

just need some expert here to modify the Pioneer_Gufiak_Mtz_1250.zip firmware so that the subtitle will be in center...... thanks...!!!!!

Hi Mtz, on which fw release are these fw based ?????? 1.09.00 1.09.02 1.15.00 ????
mfg fritschi

by the way guifak, is there a new fw-release on the way

Based on the latest uploaded by subz3ro.
If my fonts are OK, I hope at least subz3ro or Gufiak will use them.

enjoy,
Mtz

Mtz Your fonts are just great - I love them already

fritschi The firmware is Gufiak's reference 1.09.02 firmware (Polish version), I mentioned that already... it's been only slightly modified (data part) and compiled with fonts where width is a multiple of 4

mcat84 Attached you can find my modification #2 - using Mtz's awesome fonts and kinda blue skin (made by ximosoft, and modifed by me). I have slightly centered the subtitle window (though it was not much displaced), so now the subtitles should be shown correctly in the middle of the TV screen.

EDIT Fixed skin (dislocated scrollbar)

Thanks man.....i will try this firmware when i'm back to home

The font from mtz is good .....but i still prefer the font size between medium and large....

no more jerky playback.......

Where can I change the color of subtitles in the firmware ? White and yellow are OK, but I would really like a light gray subtitle (it's not as harsh as white at darker scenes)
Thanks

Hello all!

I have som questions about this firmwares 01.09.02.00 from gufiak.
If i buy a Pioneer DV-380K and mod it with this firmware are it going to be region free? or must i buy Pioneer DV-380K multiregion to watch NTSC.
Does it suport swedish substitles and menus to?

gufiak you are best if this works.

You'll be able to make your player multiregion by pressing a key ENTER for about 5 seconds on the remote controll.
Swedish version of this firmware is also available too (I suppose).
NTSC/PAL doesn't depend on region free/region restriction. For example you can watch NTSC AVIs without removing region restriction. If you have any NTSC DVD with region 2, you can also watch it.

Hi.
Does anybody know how to use mtkFilenameLenPatcher? What the offset adress for fw.
Would like to modify new version of Pioneer's fw to have longfilenames.

Question to Gufiak:

Are you planning to implement Blacker than black function into fw, which have been added to Fonkcreator's fw for 575?
Same function can be found in Targa's firmware so called B.L.E.

I believe it is very important feature what most of us would like to have for our Pioneer's

Thanks

after i upgraded from 1.07 to 1.09.02 fixed by subzero, i found problems with subtitles. for a few of my movies, the srt display timing is totally out of sync. and there's 1 movie that the vobsub is loaded but the words are not displayed. as far as i remember, the problems are not in fw 1.07. however, this fw does fix the problem that some subs are not loaded (due to filename problem i think).

i have this mutiple-avi-dvd that the player cannot detect properly (the only one of all my avi-dvd). after i insert the dvd, it'll take very long to load (Loading). when it's done, it'll detect the dvd as type "DVD", instead of "MPEG4".

the files in the dvd are
\Matrix.Revolutions.2003.DVDRip.XviD.iNT-TLF.CD1.avi
\Matrix.Revolutions.2003.DVDRip.XviD.iNT-TLF.CD1.srt
\Matrix.Revolutions.2003.DVDRip.XviD.iNT-TLF.CD2.avi
\Matrix.Revolutions.2003.DVDRip.XviD.iNT-TLF.CD2.srt
\The.Matrix.1999.DVDRip.XviD.DualAudio-DoS.CD1.avi
\The.Matrix.1999.DVDRip.XviD.DualAudio-DoS.CD1.idx
\The.Matrix.1999.DVDRip.XviD.DualAudio-DoS.CD1.sub
\The.Matrix.1999.DVDRip.XviD.DualAudio-DoS.CD2.avi
\The.Matrix.1999.DVDRip.XviD.DualAudio-DoS.CD2.idx
\The.Matrix.1999.DVDRip.XviD.DualAudio-DoS.CD2.sub
\The.Matrix.Reloaded.2003.CD1.DVDrip.DivX.AC3-ZEN.avi
\The.Matrix.Reloaded.2003.CD2.DVDrip.DivX.AC3-ZEN.avi

most of the time it'll detect as DVD. but there's once it detect as MPEG4 when using fw 1.07. but using fw 1.09.02, it detects as DVD all the time.

I think it's not because of firmware bug. Try to burn it once again (maybe on DVD-RW to try first). I've got such DVD-R, which looks good in PC, every avi file is playable, and in Pioneer it is loading and loading and loading and then it's impossible to play any avi (NO DISC error).

yes..i tried to burn again and it works this time.

i found out the cause of the problem. when i have a dvd with CD1 and CD2 of a movie together (both CD1 and CD2 similarly named and have SRTs of their own), if i select the CD2 avi, both the SRTs get loaded as subtitles (1/2 and 2/2). The CD1's 1/2 subtitle is displayed by default even when i select to play CD2. that's why i thought the subs were out of sync and not displaying when its in fact displaying the CD1 sub for CD2. When i select sub 2/2 for CD2 then the subs are back.

i dont know if this is a bug in the original 1.09 firmware or a feature added by gufiak, and i can't think of the purpose of this feature. Hope gufiak or someone else can remove this problem in future firmwares. Thanks.

Its caused by the fact that Pioneer can't read filenames longer than 40 (I guess) symbols. I think the solution here is very simple - just name the files short or put the important difference (in your case its cd1 and cd2 text) in the beginning of the file. Of course not as first characters in the name, but not after 40 symbols.

That solved my problems.

Any chance for Greek (cp1253) fonts Mtz?

I hope Gufiak to release new improved firmware. Than, will see.

enjoy,
Mtz

i don't think it's filename problem because those dvd with cd1 and cd2 worked in firmware 1.07 - if i selected cd2 it will only show the sub for cd2 not both cds.

EDIT: Yes, that's the problem. i've just tested fw 1.07 and 1.15 and the subs weren't loaded at all. at least in gufiak's firmware it can be displayed.

It's beacuse gufiak has modified the subtitle loading function. It doesn't compare now the whole filename. So it's not a bug, it's a feature. I think in the future FW gufiak will do "Load all subtitles" position in menu, as it is in DV-470/575A.

Anyway - shorter filenames would fix your problem

Hi Mtz, I know you have a firmware for Pioneer 470 with 1254 (turkish, english) font encoding. Can you please post a modified gufiak firmware with 1254 encoding? That will be really great.

thanks

Just to say thanks to Gufiak, Subz3ro, MTZ and the rest of the Firmware Aces for their work. 1252 is my cup of tea.

I'll stay tuned,

Timbero ( A very satisfied customer )

Heh, thanks man... though I don't feel like a "firmware ace" - just had the balls to modify a firmware and flash it to the player for the first time... then it was easier the next times... I think everybody (with taking his time and be careful) is able to do that, if he dares

...FOR SUBZ3RO

I download your B5CA1096_gufiak_subz3ro_fixed.zip

Upgrade and all run well, BUT i have the same problem posted in first page of this thread, related firmware released from Gufiak, I explain and report:

I update the firmware.....to new rel 9.02
All okay the update but now in the menù...appears ' caracter.

Es:
Impost.'Iniziali ............bad

and not:
Impost. Iniziali ............correct

In rel 9.01 this BUG not appear !
I also try to change Font but without result ...?!?

If i use english langiage for OSD ....this caracter ' desappeared...

....................

After CABE2001 posted his firmware:

I made a CP1252 version with 4 fonts, all CP1252.

Font 1: Arial Narrow Bold 18 Border 1
Font 2: Arial Narrow Bold 20 Border 1
Font 3: Arial Narrow Bold 22 Border 1
Font 4: Arial Narrow Bold 24 Border 1

You can choose this fonts in the new menu item added by Gufiak.

Attached File(s)
Attached File B5CA1096.rar



..............and all solved. Now it's possible also with your firmware solved this problem of visualization in Italian ????????????

Thank
Paul

The reason of this problem is simple... it depends on font, which is used in bank 00-01... in my firmware, I use CP1250 font here, which has "`" character for #97. For your needs, you should have " " (i.e. empty) there, so the "`" char doesn't appear in your localized menus

Okay thank for your prompt reply, I understand, BUT in which way i can select this font ???
In menu i see only Font: little, medium, large etc...
Or i need different firmware ??

Thank again
Paul

Yes, you need to flash with different firmware...
Fonts that can be interactively changed are only banks 0B-0C..11-12 (in all derivations of Gufiak's reference firmware)

hello everybody !
I am new here and quite a bit lost !
So, sorry for my silly question : where can i find the firmware with the OSD menus in french langage ? I downloaded several version of the latest firmware 1.0.9.2 but how can i verify which one is the best for me before burning my CD ?
Last but not least, where can i find the entire list of all the new functionalities comparing with the original one, added by Gufiak ?

Thanks and sorry if everything is already described somewhere, but i repeat i'm quite lost here...

I downloaded gufiak firmware modified by subz3ro, and what can I say: Great work! Great background, great fonts, cool menus...
My only problem is: my Pioneer DV-380 can't read subtitles from divx movies with extension .sub. Even if they are in the same folder as movie file, and with same name. Any suggestions?

why don´t you try the old trick? Press pause, then forward one frame and press play again. (do it with your remote)
The subtitles magically will appear, well, at least it worked for me with a couple of divx and xvid that refused to load in a conventional way.

Greetings from Salzburg

Is it planned to make a new firmware bases on the offical 1.15 firmware (or is ther no offical 1.15 for the DV-380 ???)

Huh? Where can I find this upgrade? What did this upgrade fix? And which CodePage it uses?

hi !

first of all tx for this nice work you're putting together !

but i have a problem with the file, apparently the archive is corrupted, i can not unrar anything out of it

do you have another link ?

tx !

ps : same thing happen with subz3ro's file

Hey everybody. I have a simple question (plz don't laugh at me;P)

I have the DV-2850 (not that it matters really as the FW is the same) and I
have an annoying problem. Since the player can play .ogm and .ogg video files,
shouldn't it be able to play .ogg audio files as well? I made a disc with MP3s and OGGs,
but only the MP3s are being played, and the OGGs get recognized as DivX video files.
Is there any way to fix this so I can play the .ogg audio files?

thanks,

Big Pete, Sweden

By the way, Gufiak's FW kick$ @$$!

Hi,
I am new at this forum. My compliments to all members.
I would like to increase the font size for DivX subtitles of my Pioneer DV-380.
I use CP1251 – Cyrillic.
But I can’t understand what the practical reason is for that why Pioneer put exactly these values for font size in their original firmware. They may be known how the subtitles look. :-)
Is anybody know?

Can somebody tell me which the simplest way to get bigger subtitles is and keep everything else original?

Thanks!

Question : Is the offical FW 1.15 useable on my DV-380 and where can i get it?

fg
fritschi

Yes it is useable and you get it here:
Original Firmwares
Post Nr. #31

First : Gufiak, subz3ro, MTZ nice work!! FW is working great.
Question: it is possible to obtain somehow a SLEEP TIME for player DV-380?

I have tested them, and the archives are fine

Hello, again, still nobody answered me... so I ask again in other words ...

1) do all the new Firmwares still allow me to display menus in French on my Pioneer 585 ? Or do I have to pick up one in particular ? How can I verify the relevant FW for me before burning it on a CD ?
2) where can i find the entire list of all the new functionalities added with the Gufiak's FW ?

Many thanks for those who will answer me...

caudibur, no offence man, but do the effort to read the whole thread before you ask, and you'll have your answers (you'll be surprised that the answer for point 2) is the first comment in this thread)

i've tested with another computer and it works now

..FOR .... subz3ro

Okay thank...but which type of firmware i can install to solve the problem of " ' " character...?? (Italian language)

Thank

Hmm, maybe you have already mentioned that, or I have overlooked it somewhere, but what codepage are you using?
I will prepare new fix of that firmware, without " ' " character in localized menus
