ePlayer1 receives a firmware update

Following the launch of the Ecler Essentials brand earlier in the year, the manufacturer has released a firmware update for the range’s streaming and local media player, ePlayer1.

The firmware update provides the ePlayer1 with AirPlay support, allowing content from compatible Apple devices, as well as iTunes on both Mac and PC, to be streamed to the player via the service. In the same vein, DLNA support is now enabled. This means that ePlayer1 can receive content via DLNA from a range of servers such as AllConnect, MediaTomb and Windows Media Player, smartphones and tablets.

Also included in the update are ‘events’, which are triggered by GPI1, GPI2 and silence detection. The events include actions that can be programmed, including preset, source recall, play, pause, rewind, fast-forward and priority source playback. Meanwhile, the new ‘store&forward’ functionality delivered by the update synchronises the contents in the remote server with a local storage device every day. This reportedly facilitates safe playback during the working day, bypassing internet streaming problems.
