TP1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I have just been playing around with an Oppo 203 ( with updated firmware ) and as an experiment, I tried a 4K UHD .iso which was on an SSD plugged in to the front USB port. And it played it beautifully! Menu's , HDR, the works! only thing that didnt activate was the tone mapping feature. But the picture was what you would expect a UHD disc to look like but without the long loading times. It was way better than the Dune 4k player that seems to stuff up HDR. A quick check showed that it wont play 2K bluray iso's - in line with what we already know . I will try a couple more later to prove it wasn't a fluke I think we can assume that once the studios find out, Oppo will have to do an update to block iso access like they had to do for bluray. I might not update the firmware for a while............ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwt Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Tasso ; I have come across some ways to create UHD iso's of a UHD disc but it requires a particular sort of bluray drive http://www.redmondpie.com/deuhd-can-rip-4k-uhd-blu-ray-discs/ Is this how you have derived your UHD iso files ; from a UHD disc ? Or if its a compressed Netflix download Hollywood may let it pass , good find and handy in any case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashflag Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Interesting. Does it play UHD folders as well or just the .iso images? Also, is there a limitation on hard drive sizes? I recall the older Oppos would only accept up to 2TB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disconnect ethernet, and any USB devices and power up the player with no disc in the tray. 2. When it displays "no disc" wait for approx 4-5 seconds, and press GREEN-2-2 on the remote. 3. Press "setup" on remote. 4. Scroll down to "Device setup" 5. Place the bar on "Firmware Upgrade" 6. Press RED-8-5-2-0 on the remote. 7. Exit menu again by pressing setup button, NOT the ok button. 8. Now you can downgrade the firmware with the use of a usb stick, just follow the usual instructions from Oppo. PRO MOD: 1 Disconnect ethernet, and any USB devices, and power up the player with no disc in the tray. 2 Press "setup" on remote 3 Scroll down to "Device setup" 4 Place the bar on "Firmware Upgrade" 5 Press RED-8-5-2-0 on the remote. 6 In this menu, press 1-1-4 on the remote. 7 Exit menu again by pressing setup button, NOT the ok button. 8 Now you can downgrade the firmware with the use of a usb stick, just follow the usual instructions from Oppo.

The pro4k ironically also has a hdmi2.0 input but no tone mapping etc .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashflag Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) Had a fiddle with mine today. Looks like while it does indeed play UHD folders it won't play BD folders or ISOs, as Tasso previously mentioned. Peculiar! Oh, and it also had no problem navigating a 3TB drive.

If so, only on usb drive or also trough LAN connection? Thx for the info Polve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't actually tried to do this with any other version of Oppo firmware so I dont know what they are supposed to be able to handle. I'm using beta firmware.

errupin Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 So Oppo can play folders ( BDMV) with full menu support of both 4k UHD and regular bluray? or only 4k uhd folders but not bluray folders, same as ISOs? Thank you and regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cashflag Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Just UHD folders with full menus. Doesn't support BD (or DVD) folders. Doesn't seem to see ISOs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errupin Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Thank you for quick answer cashflag!! Is there any standalone player that plays both UHD and BD folders with full menus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

errupin Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Yes, it sad. I guess I will try with the Oppo, it is extraordinary for music as well. So I understand that i should update firmware to make UHD folders and menu support work, shouldn't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
