Known MX-760HD Bugs
Short list at the moment, but I’ll try to remember all of them…
- No TV Output
Quite often, the Mvix will somehow forget which output options you
have chosen. The player appears to start fine, but nothing appears on
screen. This happens to me more often than not actually. Pain in the
neck, but the fix is quite simple. Sometimes it is enough to press the
TVOUT button on your remote until you see something on your TV (and then possibly using the on screen setup to set the correct resolution,
not just the correct output port). Sometimes, the TVOUT button does not
cycle through all the output options however, skipping a few that may
be vital to you and your setup. Pretty useless, but you can use the
SETUP button on the box and then navigate to the TV Output Options and
select the port/resolution you need.
- Horrible quality showing photos
Yeah, I know, you know, Mvix knows, Unicorn knows, the whole world knows. But they can’t be bothered to fix it. Great huh?
Update March 2008, 8 months after the previous firmware release. The new 1.2.0 firmware is out, and it has partially fixed the photo quality. Partially because it’s still nowhere near taking advantage of the resolution of my 720P TV, and because it still runs in slideshow mode even if you view a single photo. Which means that after “slideshow interval” seconds, it stops showing the photo and drops back out to the directory structure. Note that if you’ve got a 760 and want to update, then you might want to check out the MX-780HD 2.0.2 firmware that has been modified to run on the 760. You get all the same bugfixes, and in addition to this you get Internet Radio support. And it actually works.

Hi there!
This is a new problem to me, and I’ve not seen any complaints in the mvixcommunity-forum about this either. Not tried it myself, as I just ftp my files across if I want to transfer anything to/from the Mvix (doable since I have an ext2-formatted internal drive). I’ll connect mine to a computer and see if I have the same problem. Will report back as soon as I can.

Hi Arturo!
Yes, it has bugs. Make sure you are running the latest firmware release, which currently is the v1.2.1 for the 760. If you feel confident you can handle the extra work involved in switching to the 780-series of firmwares you could try that but I’m not sure if they’ve made more bugfixes there or not. So just if you’re getting desperate.
