Question: Will there ever be another firmware update for this device?  The Youtube app feels very clunky and freezes 70% of the time I try accessing it.
Document: The HD700 plays right through it with no trouble at all. I'm very pleased with the device's processor strength.Another great 'feature' with the HD700 is the support. When I had a question about the player, my email was answered almost immediately by someone very friendly and knowledgeable.Minor Issues:-The YouTube app didn't work when I first purchased the box, but has since been fixed by a firmware update.-The remote control, while evidently improved over it's predecessors, is still a bit uncomfortable.
again, kdlinks recognized the program as UPNP device and in this case i was able to play the files that were not supported by the windows media player. all file types i have could be played (avi, mkv, mp4) over wifi. i didn't get subtitles to work over wifi (admittedly i didn't try very hard). however subtitles work via usb.i was particularly interested in streaming live channels from the internet.my first solution here was the android app iMediaShare.
It also has thoughtful features for full-screen playback of youtube videos, quick on/off of sub-titles, and a nice menu button. I think it's as good as i could expect for a device like this.Ease of accessing network files: Can't Rate ProperlyI spent 3 hours trying to get this thing to recognize my shared windows files, and it has not been able to find them through a 'workgroup' shared network group. Only by manually entering the ipaddress for the computer could I make it work.
After more than 6 months using this products, here are some of my thoughts.Pro: Play all the media file formats I throw in, Avi, RMVB, MKV, DTS, Etc, you name it but that's it.Con: Firmware 1.3 is buggy, not no update since May 2013? Come on, kdlinks. Youtube is unstable, once you hit return, it takes you to Chinese channel platforms, and most of the Chinese platforms doesn't work.
They are working on these.If you have ever had the privilege of dealing with KdLink's customer service then you know how committed they are to their clients and their products. It has never taken more than 24 hours to get a response back and most of the time I get a response back within hours.I really don't consider these flaws because they can easily be corrected through firmware updates and they have assured me they are working on these improvements. Just look at the improvements they have made since the HD680.
Still waiting for the minor firmware fix to the deficiencies to make this a five star item.----------------------------------------------------------------12-7-13 Update:  Another software update has been released.
At least it still works the same as the day I bought it. You do get what you pay for as far as features on this device.old review portion:>Questions to support were answered lightning fast, so support seems ready, willing and able to help, always a great sign in a company.update - this may have been true, but no firmware upgrades have been made available. One beta one I rolled back from right away.
The player works fine, simply plays everything I try except all my .FLV files. It does not sort files in natural order (folders, then files) but they said they are working on that, hopefully! NFS not working properly. every time I choose it, the player resets (firmware version 1.1)! Music played, but did not have sound over network until I got a USB drive and tested out, then it works (weird).
Still have two irritations that keep this device from the 5 star category. One the company can't do anything about and the other they could fix if they wanted to.The one they could fix is the default mode of the movie subtitles being "on." It is really irritating to have to manually turn subtitles off EVERY time you start to watch a movie. Unforgivable. Not sure the company will ever fix this incredible irritation.The one they can't fix is the limitations imposed by the BD lite menu control.
However the HD700 does have 4 USB ports and an external SATA hookup. Just out of curiosity I hooked up 4 external hard drives via USB, and another 2.5" SATA that was in a tray all at the same time, it took a few seconds (maybe 30 or so), but all of the files from each device was cataloged and displayed in the media database (Movies went into the movies category, songs into audio, images into images).
Answer: The strength of the box is its ability to recognize and play a wide variety of media files which is great, but that's it. All the other accoutrements are "clunky" and in some cases unusable at best.
