Mega view 588

have megaview 588 (which overall i LOVE) but am unable to get it to work with TV, either playing recorded shows TO tv or recording FROM TV - have correct cables, plugged in correctly but best i can get is audio only, no video... my TV has 2 input hook-ups (1 used for satellite rcvr, and use 2nd as needed for DVD which requires no add'l programming, just hook-up and go) as well as separate output (vacant) but when i switch DVD cable for PMP cable - nada...... and record does nothing either - as we are going on vacation soon and i wanted to use this to record new shows while we are out in evenings, would GREATLY appreciate ANY help/suggestions/ MAGIC to get this working!!!! thanx in advance -
ps - i am basically a dummy when it comes to getting too technical so please keep suggestions/responses simple!!!

Due to you can get the audio, thus I suppose your AV cable is no problem, maybe it’s your operation issue, please thoroughly read 5588 user manual from page38 to page40!!
Also, please follow MSI website descriptions to update latest F/W v1.0.26.1 and try again!!

  • Rubish mega view 588 and webcam

    I purchased the Mega View 588. It is not working at all. After swapping, the quality is !! Then ask for another swapping or help. The technician this is the normal! FXXX. what this. Also the Web cam 370i, the colour is funny and not very nice. Do not purchase those! I can not believe MSI is going to be a doggy manufacturer.

    if you had looked through the other posts here, you would have found this topic, which explains the reasoning for poor quality of webcam picture:

    as for your megaview 588, i can't speak for that as i've never used one, but what do you mean by poor quality? the hardware or video? sure your videos are not just poor quality?

  • Mega View 588 stops playing video after 1Gb

    I have recently started using Slysoft's CloneDVD Mobile to make DivX files of DVDs. So that I can play the DivX onto a TV I have chosen a large picture size. This has made quite large files, greater that 1Gb.
    Playing these large files on Mega View 588 works fine until 1Gb of file has been read, then the player just aborts.
    example: 1hr34min film is converted to 1.6Gb file. The film plays but then stops after 1hr. This equates to about 1.02Gb.
    example: 1hr50min film is converted to 1.14Gb file. The film stops at 1:30. This equates to 1.02Gb.
    Both films play to their ends on a PC.
    I am using latest firmware, 1.0.26.1.
    Is this correct behaviour?

    I will see what I can find that may be bigger. Not sure what I have to play with ATM.
    yeah im not sure either so will have to look for something bigger to reproduce the problem.

I already got the software update from the MSI website (updated version is 1.0.26.xxx). I have the firmware version of 81 in my player.

  • Mega View 588 - USB OTG facility

    Well, finally, out of boredom, I thought it was time I gave this a try!
    It works a treat!
    Connected my Fuji FinePix 2200 and uploaded pics, using the USB plug/adapter - no problem!
    Out of curiousity I also tried connecting a generic 9-in-1 card reader. Guess what? Works perfect. So now, as well as the little SD/MMC slot, I can add Smart Media, Compact Flash & everything else. Luvvly Jubbly.
    I might add that I did look at the compatability list, and neither product was on it, but both connected without a hitch and also with fast transfer times.
    Now I wonder what would happen if I tried to connect my Ipaq...............................

    So far I've only tried a smart media adapter and card and a generic flash drive. No problems with back up and files easily accessed when the 588 is mounted as a hard drive on my PC. Would be great if you could selectively back up external media but hey, still useful as is.
    There is a "cut and paste" option on the 566 which lets you move files between the PMP and a SD card but this seems to be missing on the 588. I do like the option to use your own photos as wallpaper as you can choose something that makes the black menu font stand out more clearly.

  • Mega View 588 Problem

    Within a week of purchase, my 588 was freezing. Then, i ran the System Recovery using the CD provided with the player. After that, it was working fine. But, after i ran the system recovery, wmv files are not playing now. I even updated the firmware(ver 1.0.26.xx or something) available in the msi website....even then also, the wmv files are not playing......Before this problem, wmv files converted with the provided video vault software were working in this player. After i ran the system recovery, only wmv 800kbps files are playing. Files converted as wmv 600 kbps and 500 kbps are not playing. Before i ran system recovery, all wmv (800, 600 and 500 kbps) files were playing properly.
    Any suggestions how to resolve it????
    Why the player was freezing? Is there a problem with the harddisk or the software?
    what should be the latest version of the firmware...in my player, the software version is shown as 1.0.26 and firmware version as 81.

    Thanks for the response. But, I don't find the firmware version 82 anywhere in the website. I only do find the Software update(1.0.26.xx) in the MSI website...That is not the firmware update..... Do you know the location where i can get this firmware update(ver 82).....Can you please let me know this location?
    Then, regarding this freezing problem....I tried to delete one avi file in 588...it was showing the "WAIT" text in the screen and it was just freezing for around 12 minutes. Then, it was not responding to any buttons in the player. Even, force power off was also not working....then, i had to remove the battery to switch off the player. When i switched on the player after that, it was just showing the First screen as "MSI My Style Inside" and freezes.....Then, i performed the system recovery...
    Before System recovery, i actually converted one of the wmv file downloaded from the internet using video vault(medium quality, 600 kbps)....it was playing fine....

  • Problem with Mega View 561

    I'm Italian. Sorry for my english; I hope to be comprensible.
    I've just got a Mega View 561, but I had a problem with it.
    Now it don't start anymore.
    In the manual I read that there should be a restore CD-ROM in the package supplied with the Mega View, but i didn't find it.
    I also didn't find a mail address able to connect directly the support in MSI, also in the Internet site.
    Could someone help me in some way?
    Thanks a lot

  • Help!! problem with mega view 563

    Hi thanks for listening
    I recently updated my mega view 563 and I think I updated it with the wrong software...
    and now my mega view dosn't work at all. all i can see is a black screen and I can hear is the msi's opening speech "It's my  Style... my  Style and I"*2 and it stays black. the battery is fine... and the hardware is also fine (it's only 2 days old...)
    so if someone can help ASAP i'll really appreciate it...

    The player stopped to charge,  and the display winks, when I try to turn it...
      Where I can find the microcircuit of MEGA VIEW 566 ?

  • MSI MEGA VIEW 566

    Hi, I have tested the Mega View 566 for a while now. And I found out 3 days afther I buyed it that mine dosent have a menu called FM radio.
    What is wrong???
    And one more thing are there coming any Firmeware  update to it??
     It's a problem that you only do one operation at the time. For exampel play a song, and browse the rest of the mp3 songs you got on the player.
    I also think the interface looks a little uncool, make some nice menu's like the ipod photo has...
    Thanks Msi for makeing this Player.. Do some upgrades and it will be Perfect...
    Hope you can make it better!
    Daniel from  Norway.

    Hiya dude,
                I have the same issue on ya line. Just wanted to tell you if u get any news bout the firmware upgrades or software upgrades please do lemme know.

  • MSI MEGA VIEW 566 - HDD ERROR MESSAGE A/V Recording

    The message HDD ERROR displays whem I try to record Audio and Video!
    It happens whem I'm using MEGA VIEW 566 in your belt case and a camera is attached in my helmet!
    I can't understand why its happening.
    HDD doesn't have cache?
    How can I resolve this problem, or this problem is in the HDD?
    Regards,

    The JVM had died in the GFX package.
    I suggest you do a windows update and make sure you have the latest graphics drivers.
    Failing that you need to get a new version of java when it becomes available. :)

  • Mega View 566

    Just wondering if this device is available yet? I've been searching but I havent been able to find anyplace to purchase it from.

    The batterys are fine ,plus I used the power plug as well [you can use it plugged in as well ] . Lock switch on or off does nothing . My only chance maybe is I spoke to a electrical repair shop in Devon & they say try downloading the settings on my PC on a SD card and then put that in the mega view . Not yet sure how to do that and my PC does not have a slot for a SD card in any case .

  • Mega view 566 problem

    Thanks very much with the help in posting .
    I have a Mega View 566 [had it around 6 years ] I love it ,but I have messed it up . I decided [god knows why ] to do a update on it by doing a reset settings [not using my PC ] halfway through the re set the battery ran out of power & it went off . I recharged the battery & now only the power light comes on & nothing else . I plugged it into my PC & my PC says device not recognised . I am stuck .I faxed MSI tech & no reply . I have telephoned about 4 diff MSI numbers & they either have never heard of the 566 or just cant advise . I only ever used it for downloading from the TV & using on my many trips abroad on planes . It was working perfect before I messed around with it ,but unless someone can come up with a answer ,or who can fix it [shop is shut down I bought it from in London] It is £300 into the dustbin . HELP . John. PS tried all the usual stuff [holding down power button for 5 secs . All that does is turn off the power light .

  • Mega View 561 firmware

    Hey just in case you didn't notice on MSI's site they have updated firmware for the Mega View. I didn't notice any interface differences but I figure it must fix some issue...?
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/firmware/frm/spt_frm_ia_detail.php?UID=604
    Keep them coming with upgraded features please MSI.

    Ok looks like Apex lost the right to manufacture the device and MSI snatched it up so it's the same thing but different as MSI has tweaked the firmware some. Keep it coming.
    Looks like the new mega view 566 has a record timer function, how about adding that to the 561 as well MSI, it is in the firmware right?

  • Mega View 561

    Can anyone tell me where to purchase an ac adapter for my Mega 561?  Lost it and my online etailer-Buy.com- does not sell the
    adapter alone.  MSI USA is completely unresponsive.  Tried after market products to no avail.  Thanks...

    In "Maplins" a UK electrical goods store. Full description is "universal switched adaptor for digital camera", manufactured by "Sunpower". Voltage settings from 3 through to 7V, 2100mA max. Comes with seven plugs (including a yellow +ve core one which fits the MV), plus UK, US and Australian wall socket fittings. You should be able to find something similar almost anywhere.
    Charge time was identical with the supplied MV adapter (did not solve the problem I was having with a flaky microswitch on the MV 566 though, causing intermittent charging if the charge cable was moved. Waiting for repair or replacement from MSI).
    Good hunting!
