I too have been wondering about this. I've tried to add thumbs to my video like i do on my mac, but they don't show up. I do get two titles for each avi though. Thanks for all of your help.Originally Posted by badbob001

Hello All!
Can i have russian (cp1251) letters in file manager/subtitles in my 5992 box? -

But, i observe that the whole screen turned Orange, after i followed your instructions.
The lettering and movie are not clear. The movie is played in multi colors.
Also, Initially (before upgrade), when i connect my 160 GB hard drive, with folders containg avi files, these folder names are not showing up as they are, and the avi files are not showing up.
After upgrade, its the same issue.
Hope i can rectify these issues, help me. -
The orange screen seems to be a problem that may happen if you're using the 5990 with an HDMI connection. Try unplugging the player (from the power supply) for at least ten to thirty minutes, then plug it back in.
(I'm not sure what causes it, myself.)
Edit: If I remember correctly, the limit for external USB drives connected to the 5990 is 300 folders with up to 648 files in each folder, only (or was that a total of 648 files across all those folders?). Does your drive exceed those limits?If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them? -
Thanks for your reply.
Unplugging the HDMI connection really helped with the screen.
Now i can play avi files from my flashplayer of 8GB.
But, with my 160GB harddrive, i still have issues with the folder name. Also, the files in this folder are not displayed.
Infact, i deleted all the files and have only one folder with couple of avi files in it.
Any ideas? -
So, the 5990 can see some of the folders, but not all (same with the files) on the 160GB drive? Do the names (of either the folders or the videos) have any non-standard alphanumeric characters, or are they fairly long?
You might try giving them simple names and see if that helps. I don't know if the 5990 will have issues with rather long names (folder or file), or things like extra periods in filenames ("My.Video.avi", for example).
Just to be sure, the 160GB drive is formatted using the FAT filesystem, right? If it recognizes any of the files, it should be, but I just thought I'd ask. I'm not sure if it has any problems recognizing a considerably large drive, though.If cameras add ten pounds, why would people want to eat them? -

BEWARE!!!
I have a newly purchased Philips 5990/37 (Mfg Apr 2009), it would not play all my Divx movies as my older model used to (I think it was a 642 or 742?), so I tried to upgrade the firmware, first I tried the ver 31 from Phillips, upgraded fine, but it did not help, so I tried the "version 3.2 from vb6rocod" ( http://rapidshare.de/files/45238647/DVP5990_37_vb6_v32_All_Logo.rar.html ), the upgrade went fine, looked good but did not help my innitial problem, so I thought I would try another version posted by vb6rocod on the same web page (ver 1.2 = http://rapidshare.com/files/142530783/DVP5990_37_vb6_v1_2.rar.html ).
THIS VERSION BRICKED MY PLAYER!
BEWARE so no one else makse the same mistake!
The 1.2 file listed on https://forum.videohelp.com/topic355675.html WILL BRICK YOUR PHILIPS 5990/37!!!
When I say "BRICK" I mean BRICK!!! NO POWER ON AT ALL!!!
Now I can either serial hack my NEW DVD player, or return it, hmmmmm.
I only wish I had read a post like mine BEFORE I tested these firmwares. -

While software functionality may vary from one computer to the next, the firmware will behave the same since all units are exactly the same (unless defective). -

I am not new to flashing, PC tech for 15+ years.
This was a bad bin, period.
I flashed my Philips 5990/37 twice prior to this bad bin and had NO problem.
And as for the ignorant comment about ALL Divx files will play on it , that doesn't even warrant a reply.
If you are in the know, you WILL know what I mean.
I'm getting a feeling that this forum is not about helping as it is more about how much "we are all the last word experts".
NOT.

DVP5992/37 using the Serial Interface circuit
(by Giskard) suggested by vb6rocod in:
http://vb6rocod.euracks.com/reflash.html
The circuit failed because the zener diode only
gave about 2 volts at the player RX pin. Note that
the diode's volts vs mAmps curve indicates that its
nominal 3.3v voltage is reached at 76 mA, and that
a voltage below 2v is to be expected at less than
1 mA, which is the current the diode actually gets
through in the suggested circuit.
I did succeed loading the firmware, -but only after
inserting a 2200 ohm resistor in series with the
diode, which caused the operating voltage at the
player RX pin to rise to 3.0 volts.
BTW, Giskard now suggest a more elegant circuit,
eliminating the zener diode and feeding the transistor
from the player 3.3v pin, instead of the PC DTR pin.

Im not sure if this is really the right place to be asking this, but it's the only place I could find any sort of relevant info. I have a dvp3962/37 and would like to hack/mod it to have a usb port. I noticed that there is a nicely labled, albeit unused usb header on the board inside complete with pinout legend. I tried making a ribbon cable and soldering a female usb port on, but it doesn't attempt to access the usb drive when i plug it in. Solder joints look okay and appear to have flown nicely. No sign of shorts. Everything checked out okay...except that it doesnt work. So basically what I'm wandering is whether it's possible to do this or not. If it were possible, would it be as simple as enabling it in this bios, or would it require some more circuitry or what? I have some modest electronics experience, but when it comes to things like this, I'm really just walking in the dark and info seems to be rare at best. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I picked up this unit at costco yesterday; already had one of them; and tried to apply the firmware; and it would not read the firmware file; but it would read the firmware file philips; on my other unit it accetps the firmware no problem; this unit is made in 3-09; did they change something ?? is there a way to alter the file so that the unit will read the file and apply the firmware ? ie.. there most be something in the file header that is causing the unit to reject it when it will accept the file from the philips website.. thanx for any help with this.

We Bought Our Philips DVP 5990/37 [Mfg Aug 2008] Player In 09/2008 From Best Buy.
Since Then, We Tested Several FirmWare Versions.
None Of The Tested Versions "Bricked" Our Player.
OK?: The Following Tested Versions Seemed To Be Completely "OK" In Our Experiences:
??/??/200? - Original Philips_v27
07/25/2008 - Original Philips_v31
09/12/2008 - vb6_v1_2_1
09/12/2008 - vb6_v1_2_1_1251
12/28/2008 - vb6_v2_3_1
01/07/2009 - vb6_v2_3_1_CD_Logo_UOP
01/09/2009 - philips599037/vb6_v2_3_1_DivX_Logo_V1File_Browser_UOP
01/19/2009 - philips599037/vb6_v3_DivX_Logo
01/25/2009 - vb6_v31_DivX_Logo
02/13/2009 - vb6_v32_DivX_Logo
AVOID?: The Following Tested Versions *MAY* NOT Be OK For Some Reason (Maybe Best To Avoid?):
09/04/2008 - vb6_v1_2 (We Did Not Test This Version - Report By "oldtiger" With Newer [Mfg Apr 2009] Player.)
11/21/2008 - vb6_v2
12/21/2008 - vb6_v2_2_Volume
01/07/2009 - philips599037/vb6_v2_3_1_DivX_Logo_V2File_Browser_UOP
NOTE: We Have No Experience Whatsoever With Versions Not Specified Above.
NOTE: All Tested Versions Were *Without* "Volume" On The Repeat RC Keys.
NOTE: Details Of Our Testing Conditions, Procedures And Results Were Similar To Those We Described Earlier. -
Hope To Soon (Within The Next Few Weeks) Test A Newer Philips DVP5990/37 [Mfg Jan 2009] Player, Purchased In 04/2009 From Wal-Mart By A Relative, With A Modified FirmWare Version - Probably The "vb6_v32_DivX_Logo" (02/13/2009) Version From The "DVP5990_37_vb6_v32_All_Logo.rar" File Found At The Following Link -> http://rapidshare.de/files/45238647/DVP5990_37_vb6_v32_All_Logo.rar.html ).
Not As New A Player As We Would Like To Test, But The Best That Might Be Available To Us At The Moment. -
I have been getting this error while playing some "*.avi" files -- "Video Resolution Not Supported". Only sound can be heard... video is not displayed.
Do any one know, why this happens?
What has to be done to fix this?
Thanks, -

Unfortunately, We Have No Present Access To These Very Newest Models And Are Not Able To Test Them.
Perhaps - Some Others With The Very Newest Models Will Report Test Results. -
I just bought a 5990/F7 from Best Buy and I can confirm the latest firmware posted here works great. Didn't have to rename the file from 37, it read it fine as is.
