Subject: KISS DVD player with Vorbis Support

Hi There,

You probably know already, but I did not see it as news on your website
so I figured I would write you.  KISS Technologies just released a
firmware update for their DP-450 DVD player that allows it to play
Vorbis files.

Here is a link.

They have a flash page so you have to navigate around, but there
is information about it although it is not emphasized at all.

Thanks for bringing us Vorbis.

Hi,

Yes, I know it's an old subject but I didn't got
my own Kiss DP-450 till yesterday, and haven't been
able to update its firmware until today :)

Yes, it plays Vorbis :)
I took an ugly dark blurry pic of my TV screen
while my Kiss DVD was playing some ogg files, as a
proof:

It doesn't decode UTF-8 tags (artist should be
"Sangtraït", album shold be "L'últim concert"),
and displays "MP3 playback" on the screen... but it
sure plays Vorbis .ogg files, which is what matters.

I hope this makes it "confirmed" for you :)
Greets.
