== MediaInfo-RAR ==


I picked up a Tsutaya HDMI stick, that lets you rent and buy TV/Movies from the large Japanese Tsutaya store.
Welcome to the MediaInfo-RAR utility page. This is just a small front-end to the famous and most excellent [http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en MediaInfo] program, which enables the feature to scan media in RAR archives. In addition to this, it now can handle ISO files, like that of DVDs and bluray in ISO form. Naturally, also ISO inside RAR archives. A new switch was added to let it list the contents of ISO files, so you can find the file you are interested in. By default, it will pick the largest file found.


The stick itself cost 6,000 yen and arrived in a couple of days.


Setup consisted of installing an app called "T-リモコン". Unfortunately it is pretty hard to find unless you can type in Japanese. In the end I used the PC browser to find the Apps. (Both Android and IPad).


To set it all up,
[[mediainfo_rar_Example|Example]] output.


* plug in the HDMI-Stick and power it on (USB Power).
* change ipad/android wifi network to that of the HDMI-Stick
* Run the "T-リモコン" App which will find the HDMI-Stick.
* Change the HDMI-Stick's wifi to your home wifi.
* ipad/android wifi generally switches back to your home wifi, if not, do so.
* use the app to browse content, the TV will show things as well.


Most things have Trailers or Samples you can play.


GOOD THINGS:
=== Sources ===


* Device works well, movie wall to pick media is nice. Shows on both device and TV
[http://www.lundman.net/ftp/mediainfo-rar/mediainfo-rar-1.4.0.tar.gz mediainfo-rar-1.4.0.tar.gz] Sources for all platforms. No source changes, updated MediaInfo, libdvdnav.
* Playback works quite well. ~5s or so to start up, but playback in nice and crisp.


BAD THINGS:


* 80% of content is in JAPANESE, and ONLY in JAPANESE. Including movies (hobbit etc), and TV shows (Person of Interest)
* Content is pretty much the same as other services. Ie, no Comedy shows.
* Some buffering experienced, but it does recover reasonably.


I find it quite annoying that they would only have dubbed versions of content, when the easiest is to keep original audio, THEN add localised versions later.
=== Binaries ===


I was hoping they would have a bigger collection, including comedy shows since no other services in Japan carries comedy. Including Hikari-TV, Hulu.jp and Sky.

MediaInfo-RAR

Welcome to the MediaInfo-RAR utility page. This is just a small front-end to the famous and most excellent MediaInfo program, which enables the feature to scan media in RAR archives. In addition to this, it now can handle ISO files, like that of DVDs and bluray in ISO form. Naturally, also ISO inside RAR archives. A new switch was added to let it list the contents of ISO files, so you can find the file you are interested in. By default, it will pick the largest file found.
