try firmware 2388 (best so far) or 2901. coz the later version is not stable.

i have tested all the firmware and seems that one one bug after another appear and sometimes another option missing or not working but in 2388 it works perfectly in my setup !

hi, i just bought a playonHD from PC fair, but having hard time to make it work with network.

The unit has already installed with firmware v7.0.6 r2901, and connected with 1TB HDD.

But when i select Torrents, it shows "BT client not running".

Goto Setup, it shows these settings

Wired Lan Setup: On: 192.168.1.3
Wireless Setup: Off: DHCP Not ready!
PPPoE Setup: Off: Can't get any IP
Host Name: PlayonHD
BitTorrent and SAMBA: Off

and I can't turn on BitTorrant and SAMBA, it always show off, even i have selected on before.

When I try to run the unit web server, by enter http://192.168.1.3/ in firefox browser.
The page showing

A simple html+cgi example

Enter first number
Enter second number

It's showing a cgi testing page
Is the firmware really ready for release or just beta test only??

I can't browser PlayonHD file from my PC, and I also can't view my PC share folder files from PlayonHD as well.

And I cant even copy a file from USB drive to PlayonHD, When I have selected the source and destination in File Copy, but no file copy when i press SELECT button.

Hi soulquarianz , Is the firmware really working? Do I miss any step? Can show me how to copy file to PlayonHD? How to turn on BitTorrent and make BitTorrent work in the unit?

Why do you not follow instructions found in Manual how to copy file. Let you do some homework first. Go check out the manual and see if you can find out which button to press to get the copy screen to appear

you have to install the additional pack. try browse thru few pages back i think boxbuilder have link for the BT and Samba pack.

IMHO, please dont use POHD for BT coz its not stable, sometimes movie not downloaded at all. also you might end up having junks in ur internal POHD that might corrupt the entire HDD.

most of us downloading using dedicated PC then transfer to internal HDD either using POHD via USB or remove the HDD plug it to Removeable HDD bay. once full we use another internal or external HDD again.

well this is my opinion tho. coz this is what i been doing or else i might end up losing 1.5TB of gems. my POHD is only for movie watching and picture viewing. even YOUTUBE, Mp3 and the Internet Radio i hardly use it.

Follow the instructions below to update your Firmware for the Playon!HD:

Standard updating of firmware

Download the latest firmware from our download section or our latest beta version from our forums.
Unzip your downloaded zip onto an empty USB stick. Make sure that the files within the zip are unzipped within the root of the USB stick.
Put your USB stick into one of the USB ports of the Playon!HD.
Startup your Playon!HD if it not already on.
In the menu, go to Setup, choose System, then go to System Update and select the option System Upgrade.
Your Firmware Update will now be progressed. Do not shup down your Playon!HD while the Playon!HD is processing your Firmware Update. The Playon!HD will reboot automatically.
After the Playon!HD has rebooted, your new Firmware is installed.

If you are unable to access your main menu, please proceed as follows (this also installs the extensions):

Safe-Mode Reflash

Download the latest firmware from our download section or our latest beta version from our forums, also download the extensions.
Unzip your downloaded zips onto an empty USB stick. Make sure that the files within the zips are unzipped within the root of the USB stick.
Disconnect the power cable from the Playon!HD.
Put your USB stick into one of the USB ports of the Playon!HD.
Push the power button and hold it pushed.
Connect your power cable again.
Hold the power button pushed until you get a screen which says that the firmware is updating.
Do not release the power button between the time of connecting the power cable and the appearing of the screen.
After firmware update the Playon!HD will reboot itself, with the extensions installed and you're done.

pls get TS to post this on 1st page !

Thanks for the link. But it is the beta version right? May I know how stable this version it is?

It is still in Beta...

WDTV Live already comes out firmware for YAMJ, POHD users still have to wait for it

POHD very slow in coming out stable release firmware....

boxbuilder posted the instruction how to upgrade firmware.. does the "downgrade" firmware also work the same step?

Need some help here. If I have 2 srt file for chinese & english, how I organise it? it seem like it will only support one language at a time. So what is the point to have the subtitle button?

hi..
I can use my AV receiver remote control to control my TV, dvd player etc but not this A.C.Ryan media player. Did anyone here know the remote control code for this A.C.Ryan- Playon!HD so that i can control this media player using my avr rc too.. pls share here..
senang maa.. one remote control to control all haha..

It is not the POHD problem, it is srt problem. If your srt contains both language, it will appear on your TV. Normally, for both language subtitle, the format is .ass, seldom in srt format but still can be found in internet.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply. I never suspect it is POHD problem, just want to know how to place these files in
What I have tested yesterday was:

I have a movie called abc.mkv, so I placed 2 srt files abc.chs.srt & and.eng.srt which is same folder as abc.mkv. When I browse to that folder, I cann't see my abc.mkv anymore. Perhaps I done it wrongly, so advice is welcome

So, is that means if I have the single .ass file which contains both languages & I am able to press the subtitle button to select different language? Is the filename must be changed to abc.ass?

Thanks in advance.

2901 can support YAMJ ???

Firmware version 2901 is the stable version? no bugs at all?

Any POHD users who already updated to firmware v.2901 can share yours reviews here? are there any bugs you found after updated it?

Sorry, my mistake, it is 3400.

Added on April 22, 2010, 2:36 pmPls use 3400, it is quite stable. For bugs free firmware, it is an impossible mission. Normally if that version firmware you are quite happy with it, it is your best firmware liao.

can YAMJ firmware be used on PlayOn! Mini?
