preface:

First of all, I would like to thank Xiaomi Coldplay for providing the opportunity to try out the Thunder Time Machine. In fact, I'm looking forward to working with Xiaomi. Let's get to know what the time machine is? Xunlei Time Machine is a home intelligent image center. The time machine combines the original ordinary router and mobile hard disk, and becomes your intelligent image data center.

The package of the Thunderbolt Time Machine is very compact. The box has a striking Thunderbolt LOGO. There are some main parameters in front of the box

Open the packaging box. The inside of the packaging is mainly a double-layer design. The upper layer of sponge is used to protect the host, and the lower layer is used to store accessories

The main accessories of Xunlei time machine include: time machine host * 1, manual * 1, power cable * 1, power adapter * 1, gigabit network cable * 1

The appearance of the Thunderbolt Time Machine is very small. It is only the size of a palm. It won't take up too much space in decoration. It has a layer of plastic material on it. Yes, there is a big logo

On the back of the Thunderbolt Time machine, you mainly have: mobile hard disk removal key (you need to press this key to open it after powering on the engineering machine), reset key, power hole, USB hole, network cable hole

There is an SD card slot on the side of Thunderbolt Time Machine, which is mainly used for data backup

There will be some holes at the bottom, mainly for heat dissipation. There are also some parameter descriptions at the bottom. It can be considered to add anti-skid pads during mass production

The gigabit network cable is very good if it is set up in the LAN to read data. I believe that the gigabit network cable is becoming more and more popular now. Of course, the real network environment must be set up to play a role

At present, there are quite few interfaces used for the power cord. I hope that it can be changed to micro USB after mass production. The power adapter is designed with 5V 2A, and can be used by adapters at home

Application software

      At present, the time machine is mainly divided into three parts in the app: time, video and more In the time, after connecting the time machine, you can read out the connected mobile hard disk or USB flash drive to extract photos, and display them by week or month. Photos can also be edited and deleted in APP, although you can press by week Batch deletion in monthly mode. I hope that the function of selecting all can be added later. After connecting, the function of automatic backup can be enabled to automatically backup some photos in the phone

In terms of video, I downloaded it once with a PC, but the remote download has not been added to the current one, so when it is used, it is a slightly retro download method. Downloading on a PC still needs to be done Map Network Drive Settings for（ Please refer to the official website for detailed settings ）After the download is completed, we can see the video in the video and click to play it directly (currently it needs to be operated under the same LAN) Hard disk information, file management, phone backup, SD backup, private files View and settings for

In more, you can view the information about your inserted hard disk, and download videos for private management. On the Xiaomi route, you can also see the access of the Thunderbolt Time Machine named TIMEPLUG

Xiaomi TV Experience

After setting the Thunderbolt time machine, we can find the time machine DLNA sharing setting named timeplug in the HD player on the same LAN

At present, when entering the high-definition player, we need to enter DLNA to see Time machine shared directory In addition, there is no secondary classification processing after entering. It is expected that a secondary classification can be done on the Xiaomi router in the later stage. Users can view it. After all, some older users need convenient operations

In addition to manually searching the time machine in DLNA, we can also manually Add shared device This will be much more convenient. The specific method is very simple. You can easily add your own time machine's IP address. Next time you enter the high-definition player, you can directly see

      In the HD player video directory, at first I thought that the hard disk video on the time machine would be automatically synchronized, but later I refreshed it and still couldn't find it. I hope that in the future, it can also be automatically read to the LAN as the original settings Next, videos in all sharing devices are automatically synchronized. Of course, these can be successfully completed only after good communication with relevant teams such as Xiaomi TV/Xiaomi Box

summary

      There is still a long way to go to be a fighter in the light when you want to be a Thunderbolt Time Machine. After all, there are many multimedia equipment centers now, which need more innovative functions. There are many functions under Thunderbolt Time Machine to optimize and adjust, Remote download, remote management, and compatibility with various devices all need to be followed up. Small size is an advantage of the time machine. It takes up a lot of space, and is suitable for some people to download a few movie music occasionally. In fact, if you can have a cloud It's not necessary to hang up a hard disk. After all, we all pay attention to the cloud era and multi platform cloud space storage. In a word, all these can be taken into account, and we look forward to future optimization and adjustment.
