Xoro 400 DVD player is a nice and inexpensive DVD player, capable of playing DivX.


However, the DivX format has many variations and while Xoro 400 plays many of them, regular firmware updates are needed to keep pace with DivX format evolution. The last firmware update on Xoro firmware download page is dated 13.11.2003.


Is there newer firmware for Xoro 400???
As far as I know, there isn’t.


Somebody mentioned that you can flash Xoro 400 (not plus) with the firmware for Xoro 400plus.

If so, can somebody confirm this?


I asked this question on Xoro forum, but the answer so far is that the ESS chipset in Xoro 400 is no longer supported by the manufacturer. And that you cannot flash it with firmware for Xoro 400plus.


If Xoro ceases to support their players so fast, I wonder if it is wise for consumers to buy their DivX player products.
