Sorry probably this reminder was already posted in the first thread, don't rush to update latest official firmware 2901 cause it will remove youtube permanently rather try this hack firmware europe edition with added youtube and search function for youtube.

Playon!HD Beta firmware version r3294
http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=4482

We have a new beta firmware based on some new codes from Realtek and merged it to our current platform. I have to say, there may still be some bugs in this beta release but we will get right back to it after we are back from our Chinese New Year celebrations after the 22nd of February.

For Asian guys and ladies around, I would like to wish all of you 恭喜发财，万事如意，新年快乐，年年有余！

And now, the download link.
Asian: http://www.acryan.com/eugene/v7.0.6_r3294_Asian.zip

There are some added features and functions to this new beta release.

1. Youku and Weather added to Asian firmware, and Weather added to European firmware.
2. Some new additions to Setup – Video menu
3. Auto detect the text encoding for text based subtitles.
4. Screen saver timing from 1min, 2mins and 5mins. Subtitles default setting to On or Off.
5. Simple menu for controlling Audio, Subtitle, Title and Chapter when playing a video. This feature may not be fully completed yet as the layout with multiple selections for Audio, Subtitles and such are not properly displayed at the moment. But you get the idea what will be in store soon…

>This release does not include YAMJ, this is purely a beta, once it works merging will commence.

Playon!HD mini Beta firmware version r3316
http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=101&t=4483

Hi, guys. I'm using POHD Mini, firmware v7.0.21_r2956.
I have several movies in which the voice volume is too soft (while background/effect is very loud).

this is the info of the audio stream
CODE
ID                               : 3
Format                           : AC-3
Format/Info                      : Audio Coding 3
Codec ID                         : A_AC3
Duration                         : 1h 50mn
Bit rate mode                    : Constant
Bit rate                         : 384 Kbps
Channel(s)                       : 6 channels
Channel positions                : Front: L C R, Surround: L R, LFE
Sampling rate                    : 48.0 KHz
Stream size                      : 303 MiB (12%)


I'm only using my TV's speaker (no other speaker).
Please kindly advice how i can increase the volume of the voice OR possible
to play the 6ch as 2ch (stereo).
Is there such setting in the POHD setup? (I have checked, and doesn't seem so)

thanks notworthy.gif

Hello sifus, what is the fastest way to transfer files from PC to PoHD?
currently my way of doing it is:
PC >>> external hard disk >>> internal hard disk inside PoHD

for large chunks of file or rearranging files, normally i open the internal HDD in POHD and plug it in to my removable 3.5HDD bay in desktop PC. so i can get gigabit transfer speed (over 100mbps). using USB doesnt help either coz it slow max like 20mbps.

for single file then i use wireless but expect to be done within 1 hour plus time with 2.5mbps max speed.

I do have some files in RMVB but mostly the files I have is in mkv, avi etc.
I like the idea of having a single player for all files and the possibility to add internal HDD which WD is lacking.

Not sure if this is old news or not, but seems that those waiting for HD audio can forget about it. Look at the specs from the official website:

Audio Formats Supported:

* Stereo
* AC3 Dolby Digital 5.1 (passthrough & downmix to stereo)
* DTS (passthrough & downmix to stereo)
* DTS Master Audio (passthrough core stream & downmix to stereo)

Even the WD TV Live surpasses it by being abit to bitstream Dolby TrueHD. thumbup.gif

WD remote control is simple but POHD remote control is full function. One advantage of POHD is time seek function which WD always forget to include for 3 generation already. tongue.gif

Nop. Time seek is for those who like the certain scene and can straight away go to that period to show their friend or others purpose can instantly to that preferable scene. Don't you think if you like to show the movies 2012 where the aircraft carrier got carried by the tsunami and smash into the whitehouse by pressing fast forward each time you show to your friend or you like this scene a bit tedious?
Here are some pros for POHD:

- supports internal HDD up to 2TB
- supports DVD menu navigation: this is a great feature
- can jump to a specific time in a movie
- has a zoom feature that is configurable in 5% increments, up to 300%; you can set width and height with different zoom factor to adjust aspect ratio.
- has a nice support forum and their moderators are helpful and willful to assist you
- configurable subtitles (color, position, size)
- professional remote with volume buttons (more buttons = more difficult to use, but more functions available with a press of a button)
- hdmi cable included

Cheers thumbup.gif

Here are some pros for POHD:

- supports internal HDD up to 2TB (not significant as networking is available...no need the extra heat too)
- supports DVD menu navigation: this is a great feature (With so many HD contents, I don't remember when is the last time I watch DVD...still good to have though)
- can jump to a specific time in a movie (great if you can remember the time of each scene of the movies..btw i have 800 mkvs and I really can't remember any specific time of any scene)
- has a zoom feature that is configurable in 5% increments, up to 300%; you can set width and height with different zoom factor to adjust aspect ratio. (never use the zoom features as i don't see a need for it)
- has a nice support forum and their moderators are helpful and willful to assist you (good to have)
- configurable subtitles (color, position, size) ( just fancy but Live got the basic covered well)
- professional remote with volume buttons (more buttons = more difficult to use, but more functions available with a press of a button)
- hdmi cable included (got the Harmony remote that take care of all)

Don't get me wrong, the POHD is a great media player. In the end I prefer the WDTV Live because it does what it does best that is play all my mkv(including those high reframes mkv) and offer sharper picture quality. Also the menu is much more simple therefore easier to operate by my wife and kids.

Im watching 1080p Transformer 2 using WDTV Live few days ago. Play until 22 min the movie just hang and it can't pass through. I try several time ON and OFF but still the same problem accured. I don't give up and try the same file with my laptop using Divx Player, notice that on frame 22min, there is a fast flicker appear on the movie and the movie still continue playing. This seems that WDTV is unable to pass through with just a very tiny bad sector in the mkv file. The worse case is that, WDTV don't have time seek which I cant watch the rest of the Transformer 2. Hence, now I know time seek is really important features.

You have a good point there, but that really isn't a flaw in the WDTV Live. The bad mkv is the problem here, and being able to play it on the PC is because PC is a very much more powerful machine that cost at least 2 times more.

I guess he wasn't making a point about flaw in WDTV Live or comparing it to a PC. He was just trying to stress how important the Timeseek feature is which the WDTV Live doesn't have.

I guess he wasn't making a point about flaw in WDTV Live or comparing it to a PC. He was just trying to stress  how important the Timeseek feature is which the WDTV Live doesn't have.

You are absolutely right! This is one of the usage of time seek. For concert in mkv format, it becomes rather important because we want to watch that particular song, we can go there instantly, no need to fast forward everytime.

Btw, HD RMVB format in HK TV Series is getting more and more, so, this is another advantage for Mum and Dad, I believe.

Most of the concerts mkv i have have chapter search for eg Eagles farewell tour, Celine Dion, and Hitman David Foster all have chapter search. You can also add chapters to all the mkv.

Also a rmvb player is easily available for less than Rm80...that is what i do for my wife, put one unit in the bedroom for her.

I did mention HD RMVB, yr RM80 cannot play this format. Of course, u may say no need the hd rmvb since normal rmvb is more then enough for you. brows.gif

Getting AC Ryan Mini later, any recommendation where to get is cheap? Digital mall or Low yat? I'm an ex WDTV owner, not live. I'm not satisfy with my WDTV performance actually when playing movies like 2012 and Transformers ROTF running in full HD with subtitles ON. Those too much of movements action scene will lags. Without subtitle is smooth.

To make it short, Samba is the network file protocol that allows you to read files from a Windows PC via network.
And YAMJ (Yet Another Movie Jukebox) allows you to browse movies on the POHD by their covers/arts rather than file names.
Yes, I'm waiting eagerly for this for POHD mini! rclxm9.gif

DTS-HD downmix to analog or down to DTS 5.1 is ok, no pass thru. Until now, Dolby True HD still cannot work.

Got the mini unit today from digital mall. Compared to the WDTV non live version, I can say I'm satisfied with the performance of this unit. Especially when I seek or fwd, it is so smooth. WDTV really lag on this. There is a pros n cons. Too bad this unit doesn't support thumbnail for each movie folder and have to browse by each folder where WDTV has this feature. So I think even if my dad wanna watch the movies also having hard time to figure out how to find a movie to watch.

Overall, is worth the money to get this! happy owner here laugh.gif

Correct me if im wrong, I actually browse thru the network and open that file from my PC's location. Whereby PC stream to ps3 it need to use Media streaming software like PS3 media server. The 1st method, encoding is done from the POHD itself, whereby the 2nd method encoding is done from the PC and pass the signal to PS3. I've tested both before, PC stream to PS3 with 1080p full hd with subtitle ON will lag unless u use a powerful PC or more than 100mbps Lan speed, not wifi. But for POHD, is different.

I've been streaming on 100mbps LAN - I get lag during VERY complex scenes (with lots of noise or moving/panning stuffs). Pausing and resuming will help until the buffer is emptied (e.g. if pause for 5 seconds, the next 5 seconds of movie will not lag) making me think it's a buffering issue on the POHD.

LAN is 100Mbps (through a Gigabit backbone), server is a 2.XGhz dual core 2GB running Fedora (powerfull enough just for fileserving), downloads/P2P are on separate HDD, network traffic is low (especially at night when no one in the house is using).

Any ideas? Settings I should play with? I have 2 units- mini and the big one (installed a HDD on the big one hoping that it will use it for buffering- no love, it's still the same)

I encountered the same problem if I stream using the "Network" option to acces the 720p/1080p content from my NAS. However, using the "UPnP" option instead, no lag at all.

It is not the 720p and 1080p resolution problem, it is the bitrates problem. If the bitrates more then 15mbps, it will lagging. For Network streaming, below 25mbps is ok.

Actually the PQ not really different. If you use 1080p projector project to 120", then you might notice the different. My AV intallers also mention can't see the different for 60" LCD full HD.

Not only the RMVB file capable, but a lot of advantages features in POHD, like time seek, YAMJ, BDISO and BDMV supported, subtitle font size and colour changeable, HDMI cable, full function of remote control, etc....

rclxub.gif two different opinion..
but really if no different I'll probably go for POHD due to the bonus rmvb.

Ya, undoubtedly the POHD has advantage in features like time seek & YAMJ.....but it seems that the latest fw for YAMJ still got bugs, and are you sure that POHD can play BDISO? hmm.gif

Ya, undoubtedly the POHD has advantage in features like time seek & YAMJ.....but it seems that the latest fw for YAMJ still got bugs, and are you sure that POHD can play BDISO? hmm.gif

BDISO sure can play. But no menu selection.

Aiya, of course ma, pls use wireless n router, you can feel the power of n streaming.

Btw, fyi, A.C.Ryan wireless N is one transmission and 2 receiving data. The cheapest is 1 transmission and 1 receiving. The best is 2 transmission and 2 receiveing but this will cost double the price.

i got a question to all the PRO' s here!

i use my altec lansing THX speakers for my ps3 gaming/bluray.
hdmi is connected to LCD and audio is connected using the red/white jack.

I noticed at the back of the AC Ryan and WD Live there is no audio red/white output, only optical and hdmi. so that means my altec lansing wont work??

sound will be coming out from my lcd tv??

You are talking about which AC Ryan?

If you are talking about POHD, Who says no composite audio?

I mean the digital output can ouput the DTS HD and Dolby Thru HD to the amplifier, not direct output the analogue signal from the POHD media player.

Let me clarify:
DTS HD and Dolby TrueHD available in Bluray only, not DVD.
POHD can downmix DTS HDMA to stereo or DTS 5.1ch. For Dolby TrueHD still cannot output the sound thru HDMI.

Yes, from DTS HD MA to DTS 5.1ch thru HDMI to amp. TrueHD cannot.

No you don't understand. Have to repeat so many times, you can't get any HD Audio from blu-ray movies on the POHD. You will only get a lower quality (non HD) core DTS 5.1 from a DTS-MA source and no sound at all from a Dolby TrueHD source.

Hi guys.
I need to get a 5.1ch home theater to go along with my POHD mini.
Main reason is those MKVs I have are mostly 6ch audio. So, most of the time, the dialogue/voice volume via the TV's speaker is very soft.
But, assuming that i get a basic 5.1ch DVD home theater (no optical in), connect its Audio IN to he POHD mini's RCA Audio out, will i get 5.1ch result?
Or, i must go for home theater that c/w optical in (which is not so preferrable since they are more expensive).

Please kindly advice.

thank you notworthy.gif

Actually, I would like to suggest use HDMI port to pass the DTS to decoder. Now, new amp. will come with HDMI in and out. One cable settle all.

he's getting a basic system...which doesn't even has optical in, so, i doubt it even accept bitstream audio or LPCM through HDMI.

Hmm...for me i prefer transfer via USB, much faster. I use USB extension cable, so i can keep the POHD in the TV cabinet, while the USB connector on top of the cabinet, so it's very easy to plug in/out. Yes, no power drop problem over the USB extension cable.

As for Samba, haven't try it before, but i believe you just have to share your movie folder on your PC, and the POHD will be able to 'see' it on the network neighbourhood.

for bluray rip 1080p yes if your lcd tv support, i've experience laggin issue with 1080i with hdtv ripped with 24p when i switch off the movie is smooth. Also depending on your file and your TV support.

For movies or audio that have lagging or shuttering every few seconds, just remux it with your fav. software...takes abt 20min to remux it.

Its best to have 2 remux software cause as usual, they are not perfect.

Yes, it is. With cradle, the dongle won't block the other USB host. And place the cradle on top of POHD, the transimmison and receiving is better, of course. Or you can hide the dongle to have a good view of POHD.

Pls use n router. To play HD files smoothly via wireless, it is not the resolution but bitrate factor. If your 1080p files bitrate below 13Mbps, it can play smoothly. The max we have tested POHD can go for wireless n is 13Mbps.

Better install internal HD for streaming because it will create hidden partitions in the HDD for buffering purposes for smoother playback.

Most definitely. I don't think anyone still using a 10mb LAN.

all, i wanna confirm. What is the latest official firmware which is most stable? Will it prompt my HDD to self-format like some previous firmware?

I plan to update my POHD.

I update to the latest OFFICIAL firmware in their website, it did not ask for auto-reformat of my HDD.

Yes. Max you can go is 25Mbps

What I meant is the actual rate you can achieve, not ideal case. Like USB2.0 transfer rate stated is 480Mbps but it will never achieve. As you know, normal USB2.0 rate is about 25Mbps it can reach.

In that case, I think I will just hook it up using LAN instead of buying the Wifi N dongle since it is not really giving the 300mbps bandwidth

But I think to achieve higher bitrate, the network should be end to end with 100mbps? meaning POHD -> router -> laptop/NAS must be in 100mbps. if only POHD to the router in 100mbps but the router to the laptop/NAS only 54mbps, the performance will still be the same if using the wifi dongle right?

From my experience, streaming 1080p and some 720p contents with 25mbps frame rates over 100Mbps LAN encountered jerkyness even with HDD installed on my POHD. Switching over to UPnP, playback was smooth like baby's backside even without the HDD installed.

Just my 2 sen contribution

What UPnP server are you using? Are you using a hardware UPnP or software installed on Windows 7 ?

does ACRyan POHD in SPDIF RAW mode decode the MP3 files to PCM and bitstream it out through digital out? or it just bitstream the MP3 encoded audio format out?

Not really hardware per se but I enabled the Media Server feature on my NAS so that the POHD recognises it for UPnP function

Try changing the properties of your folder to make it a "Pictures and Videos". Right click on the folder and select properties. There should be an option in one of the tabs for selecting the type of folder in there somewhere.

Tried, still the same.
I've managed to get it to work, but with a big compromise on quality.
I moved one of my .mkvs to the sample video folder and renamed the extension to .wmv
The PQ was like crap, and when I pressed the info button it says "720x480 mpeg2". The file is actually 1280x720. (on my pc)
I guess Win7 somehow downconverts the video?

I'm using Win7 Ultimate x64, connected to a wireless G router. PlayON connects using ethernet.
Oh and I cannot see my pc using 'Network' option, only 'UPnP'.

My very first question... I've seen people talking about UPnP and which is the best you use to share on your PC to Playon!HD?

I've used WMP11 but it can't seems to display RMVB files...

Just got the unit and joined the club!

My very first question... I've seen people talking about UPnP and which is the best you use to share on your PC to Playon!HD?

I've used WMP11 but it can't seems to display RMVB files...

Can try TwonkyMedia but it can't stream .mkv, WMP11 doesn't work for .mkv as well, now trying XBMC....

Already mention at page 1 post# 5, don't update to latest firmware or those with new POHD with new firmware Youtube is removed maybe due to licensing. To get youtube back use the link provided on post #5 with hacked new firmware where there are 2 mode of youtube added after installation. Youtube popular featured videos and Youtube with search option.

We are distributor. You can get the unit after 23rd March, hopefully. Limited unit only. Pls visit my resellers: http://www.boxbuilder.com.my/PV73100.asp#buy and call them first before you go.

For the pricing, it may be about the same. We will announce soon.

Cheers.

Hey people, I just got my A.C Ryan PlayOn HD Mini 2 days ago and already suffered some problems and issues.

Some of my videos( all is usually anime 1080p movies) has the tendency to auto stop. Has anyone encounter a problem like this? By the way, my firmware version is v7.06.r2956.

Help is really appreciated because I took a long time to decide to purchase A.C Ryan over WD TV. =)

Hi

I own a AC Ryan Plyon!HD and love the player.

As a novice to this player, can some experienced users advise on the followings?

1. I can only have srt. subtitles and not sub. What can I do to load the sub subtitle when watching a movie to my samsung LCD tv? The subtitle is in the same folder but not loading esp sub.

2. I am thinking of installing the latest firmware v7.06.r2901 asian version. Is it worth updating to this version? Can anyone advise of any flaws with this version? If I need to roll back to the older version, how do I do it?


I love this player as it is but if anyone can advise on the above queries to make it even a better machine, I would great appreciate it. biggrin.gif

Thank you all

Cole

Download the manual book first...

Panasonic HT has a nasty design that optical only works with Dolby...no DTS through Optical...DTS works only with the built in DVD...many ppl kena oledi...you have been warned!!!
Some ppl even complain .srt files dun work with it.

I hope you didn't buy it yet ohmy.gif

The cheapest I know off for you to experience basic DD/DTS is Samsung HT.

The best is you bringing along your Media player to the shop to try it out.

If you are willing to gamble, there are lots of 2nd amps that come with great speakers going for a song....

hi all, just bought my POHD on 13 March, love the unit initally.

Now I'd problem getting LAN connectivity, the LAN LED seem not blinking during connection setup (testing) or it shut down after the unit power up. Don't know whether this is due to the new firmware either in R2901 and the R3400+YAMJ also having the same problem. sad.gif

I don't have this issue during the first few hours of use when i bring it home as it is still at R2388 firmware.

Had tried to ON the SAMBA and reinstall the extension package but still not functioning, tried to FixIP or DHCP mode, both also not able to give any LAN IP, I'm very very very sure I'd set the correct things bec it is working before i upgrade firmware.

Do you all think i should bring back the unit to the seller and ask him for a new unit (under warranty) from the distributor ? Possible failure on the LAN port of my POHD ? What do u all think ? Experience this problem, anyone in here ?

Very frustrating not able to access my HDD via LAN (wired to my WIFI router). Any idea anyone around here ? Help !! Desperate for a solution... I don't want to downgrade to R2388 if possible bec by doing that I need to reformat my internal HDD (WD 1TB) and recopy all the content inside my HDD to another external HDD which I presently dont have. Last process it take me more than 4 hrs to copy about 300GB of files from my external HDD into the internal HDD in POHD via the USB cable provided.

All your advice is very much appreciated. Can someone help me on this ???

Tested using USB2.0 : average 20MB/s (Megabytes)
6hrs = 350GB
4hrs = 265GB

e-SATA = average 90 ~ 100MB/s (Megabytes)

I would advise that you use the SATA/e-SATA for large file transfer.
As for your LAN, maybe the LAN port faulty.

Hi ldragon, yup, ur correct, on average i get about 20MBps, I don't have a e-SATA port for my notebook. Maybe will have to stick with USB2.0 for the time being.

As for my POHD, possible will bring back to the seller over the weekend to request for a replacement unit. But the waiting period is long (3-4 weeks) as what you'd mentioned in another post cry.gif

Thanks for the advice.

eg the .mkv

Stargate_1994_15th_Anniversary_Edition_1080p_Blu-ray_AVC_DTS-HD_MA_7.1.mkv

your .srt must be

Stargate_1994_15th_Anniversary_Edition_1080p_Blu-ray_AVC_DTS-HD_MA_7.1.srt

you just download .srt file from subscene.com. pick one that sync with your movies.

then install mkvtoolnix http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolni...3.2.0-setup.exe . Once done, follow the below instruction;
- open mkvmerge
- open mkv file
- drag the subtitle into the application, and place the subs above audio tracks
- set the default track for subtitle as "yes"
- and click "merge"

it will create a new copy of movie with subs merged. smile.gif

Hi, where were you bought the POHD? Normally for defect unit we will replace within 1 week if we have stock. 2 - 3 weeks if we are out of stock. We never take 3 - 4 weeks unless it is not from BoxBuilder. Just see the unit whether got BoxBuilder warranty sticker? If yes, pm me and I will solve the problem for you.
Cheers.

Hi BoxBuilder,

I think it is not from BoxBuilder's reseller bec I cannot find the reseller's list from your website. I bought the unit from another shop at Lowyat sad.gif So I think i need to send it back to the shop where I purchase the unit and need to wait for them to get me a replacement unit.

BoxBuilder, i bought mine from C-Zone Lowyat. The unit can't switch on even using another power adapter. Send in for warranty claim on 12 March 2010. From the RMA department, the lady told me 3 to 4 weeks.....

Hi Bro, we haven't received this info from C-zone. We will check with them today. Once receive, within 1 week we will solve for you.

Hi BoxBuilder,

I think it is not from BoxBuilder's reseller bec I cannot find the reseller's list from your website. I bought the unit from another shop at Lowyat sad.gif  So I think i need to send it back to the shop where I purchase the unit and need to wait for them to get me a replacement unit.
*
In that case, I really can't help you. Pls ask for help from the shop you bought. Sorry.

If not mistaken, I saw Cycom pricelist which is $498, didn't see the word 'mini' so assume it is the normal one.

Be careful because ACRyan Asia Pacific stop supply POHD to this distributor, who supply to this shop. In case of warranty issue, customers will face a bit troublesome.

Some of the files use AAC+ audio format which is not supported by POHD and it will show unknown audio format.

i need some advice .. before i jump into decision of getting a unit of A.C.Ryan PlayON

does the PlayOn runs hot with the internal hdd ?
does it makes any difference in performance 5400 / 7200 rpm sata hdd ? faster loading time ?

if i choice for PlayOn! Mini using external 3.5" drives, will it lag playing a 1080p mkv file ?

Any device that has a internal HDD in it is bound to run hotter, unless you have real proper monitoring and ventilation system like a customized PC.

5400/7200 rpm makes no difference at all in playing 1080p stuff..infact 7200 rpm tends to run hotter.
The best HDD for the ACRyan is WD Green and Samsung 1.5Tb (aka F2 series-Eco version).
No point using very fast HDD like WD Black or Samsung F3.


If you experiment with HDD in a docker....the best ones are Laptop versions....although low rpm, they are very much faster in loading than desktop versions and less heat generated, but cost double.

I doubt playing through external drives it will lag..unless your USB cable is pretty long or something wrong with your file.
Can tell that company to close down if such nonsense occur.
But playing 1080p using wireless is a different story.

Take note especially with a ACRyan, once you start upgrading Firmware and stuff, be careful not to format the HDD or else all your movies gone.

Any 3.5" 5400rpm drive will do. It is completely adequate for the task. Performance is not affected even if connected through USB external dock. Everything is smooth.

I recommend the Samsung HD154UI 5400 rpm 1.5TB. It costs only around RM330/-. I am using two of these, one internal SATA and one external connected through USB.

The POHD runs very cool. Even with the internal drive attached, it is just slightly warm only after playing for few hours. This is because of the built-in fan.

Don't know about the POHD mini though. It doesn't have internal HD storage but it's size is much smaller and also I don't think it's got a fan.

It can be very subjective. Each person sees things differently. Since both are using chips that are already very good, any small differences can be due to the placebo effect.

Which shop? Be careful because AC Ryan Asia Pacific already stop to supply to a distributor who supply to those shops selling cheap POHD. They are clearing the stock. Warranty gonna a bit troublesome. As a distributor, we need profit to provide continuing service to our value customers. With this pricing, I don't think we can last for 2 years. Just pay a little bit only, we will assure your warranty for 2 years at here, and after 2 years, we still here to serve you.

Yup.
Our SRP is RM599.00. Singapore selling at SD249.00. Promotion is SD229.00. Now, without promotion, our price even better than Singapore. That is making AC Ryan Asia Pacific nervous and warn us tongue.gif . Our resellers you can find from our website: http://www.boxbuilder.com.my/PV73100.asp#buy.
For the mede8er, sorry for more than a month no stock in the market due to CNY holiday. The stock will be arrived end of March.
Cheers.

Don't worry, they still responsible for the unit for 2 years. Touch wood if got problem, is a matter of time different only. Btw, PlayOn!HD and Mede8er for the defect rate still below 1%, consider is a very good reliable products.

I believed that your wifi is 1 transmission and 1 receiving type, guess from the cost. So, streaming 720p or normal mkv shouldn't be a problem. But if your PC distance a bit far and in other room, it may cause the streaming problem. Pls let me know your situation.
Thanks.

Really? Let me investigate first. Any way, is the unit working now? Have you try on YAMJ? It works. We may list out the instruction for your easy setup.

Hi Idragon, your unit firmware is 3294 and this is new feature in standby mode. No more red LED in standby mode for V3 firmware. It is normal.

Shoudn't be any different in PQ/AQ when both using same chipset. The mini does not have a bay for Internal HD, no card reader, no fan and missing a few other items which has no bearing on the PQ or AQ.

ic-klass, my friend just bought the ACRyan PlayOn HD big version with the fan. Was at his place when he was setting it up and he too was curious to know if the fan would be noisy after reading some reviews on it. So we were testing the quality of some full HD 1080 video for about 30 mins and checked to see if the fan was noisy. We could hardly hear anything at all.

For PQ, you really can't see the different in 60" LCD TV but yes for the projector project 120". But actual fact is: WD is not in this line but he want to step in. Not only WD, but Seagate, Apacer, D-Link, ASUS and etc also. They are not selling well because they do not know what consumers want. And media player is not their dependance product, so, for the support is less compare to others like POHD, Mede8er, TViX, Xtreamer which they will die if their products cannot sell.

Depends a lot on the pairing of the player and the TV. Both player got slightly diff colour and brightness/contrast schemes.

So if Realtek default settings happens to suit your TV better, you will say Realtek is better. If Sigma default suits another guy's TV better , then he will say Sigma is better.

Depends a lot on the pairing of the player and the TV. Both player got slightly diff colour and brightness/contrast  schemes.

So if Realtek default settings happens to suit your TV better, you will say Realtek is better. If Sigma default suits another guy's TV better , then he will say Sigma is better.

in case of using samsung LCD tv with the contrast and colour is high, which is better? ACRyan or WD Live

So subjective, the only way to get your answer is to borrow both the player and test it out yourself biggrin.gif .

I recall reading somewhere that the mini does not have UPnP feature unlike the POHD Big but will be made available with future firmware updates. Any update on this?

Am considering getting a mini for my living room as I really don't enjoy moving my current POHD Big in and out from the bedroom

6GB MKV 720p movie to external HDD via USB 1.1 is 5 minutes. So USB 2.0 should be faster and with today's USB3.0 even faster?

Don't fret, it's expected especially when media player are becoming more like consumable product. The technology is changing so fast.
Some more I understand next month got better models coming with newer Chipset!

It goes without saying EVERY media player's manufacturer will need to produce a new model almost every 18 months as the technology advance.

Look beyond ACRyan and compare. wink.gif

Don't be upset coz this news may not be true. This is the tactic consumers normally use to force the price go lower. The fact is this price is below daeler price. This happened in the first POHD thread, which one of our friend told that C-Zone sold in very lower price but it is not true after we checked with them. But the main thing is: don't be disturbed by all this kacau, as long as you happy with your gadget & services, pls go on. Remeber, time is short, no time to upset for this nonsence.

Apparently lotsa of complains on slow start-up if coupled wth YAMJ. & the currently the beta having some problem/crash when running Samba..as what I heard.

Also From the forum, One of the mod there confirmed there is no need to reformat HDD although it is encourage to do so.

With an interface like YAMJ don't expect to be fast as before. It will take up quite a bit of resources.

I bought a AC Ryan ACR-PV73100 Playon!HD and use the firmware Firmware Ver. v7.06.r1757 and never update.

As most people are updating to the latest firmware, Firmware Ver. v7.06.r1757, is it a great improvement ot update to the latest version? Is it hard ot flash back to the older formware version? " just need a confirmation from users who have updated and what are the problems encountered after the update. If none or few, I may join the human race and advance with latest technology. Ha ha.

I do have problems loading the subtitles like sub. The player manu said it could play quite a few types of subtitles but the only type I can play is srt. Any advice on how to solve this so I can watch most foreign movies with subtitles?

Also some MWV also cannot be played. Will the latest firmware solve ths problem?

I hope that who has updated the firmware can kindly advise me on the results and so comment on the subtitle formats.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Need some advice from the experts here.

I got a PoHD recently with wifi dongle. I'm trying to be able to access my shared folders on my PC, and also view the files on the PoHD from my PC but I'm unable to do so. If I go to the 'browser --> Network --> my shortcuts' menu, and I create a shortcut to my PC's IP, it is able to login but I cannot see any files in the shared folder. I also tried to setup an NFS server on my PC with Windows SFU, but the same thing happens. I can login to the network folder but the contents are empty.

There is an option in the setup menu to turn on the BT and samba, but whenever I try to turn it on, it just wont be 'on'. I try to go to the 'extension package upgrade' menu and attempt to upgrade, and it fails.

I'm on the latest official firmware, 7.0.6 r2901.

Thanks!

just read the quote one guinea pig here:

QUOTE("evader")
This is my experience with this firmware.

Horrible, simply horrible

1. Now every movies (picture and audio) stutters from start to finish from my external HDD (Western Digital Elements 1000GB)
2. The device sometimes got stuck in a remote command e.g. if i am in my movie folder and press up, then it takes sometimes up to 20 seconds before the device will take a new command (checked the batteries, they are fine)


I have to downgrade because this firmware disables the whole device for me.

Hi pals, I think there are a lot of negative statement here. In actual fact, we have tested under version R3400 with YAMJ and it works fine. Pls remember that beta firmware is for testing purpose, not official release ma.
OK, to solve all this problem, we will organize a workshop for POHD on middle of June 2010. We will invite Eugene to give a talk and problem solving. For those who interested on this workshop, pls pay attention on this thread and we will annouce further for the info.

Guys, need some help here. I'm using the Official r2901 firmware. Everything is working fine except the NAS function, which is one of the main reasons I bought this POHD but it is not up to expectation, not even close.

I dun have internal HDD, just a USB Ex-HDD. Samba working fine.
I connect the POHD to my router via LAN cable. I connect my NB on XP also via LAN cable. I can access to the POHD but unable to copy any file above 1G (i think you guys know what I m talking about) to the POHD. Is there a solution to this problem? Pls point me to the right place if there is. I've tried acryan forum but coundn;t find the solution.

Is your USB ex-hdd format under FAT32? For FAT32, the copy file size cannot bigger than 2GB. And pls do not consider the perfection of NAS function. Because it is an advantage for this function but performance is far below the standalone NAS only.

No. I have no problem copying 10G files from my NB to the Ex-HDD via USB. I have to do this because I can;t copy via LAN with the Ex-HDD attached to the POHD. and I had no problem copying 10G files via network when the ex-hdd was attached to my older PC.

So it is the POHD issue here. I wonder if other users having this problem or not?

Appreciate any help here.

make sure your subtitle name is the same as the movie name.
example:
Movie.mkv
Movie.srt

Guys, need some help here. I'm using the Official r2901 firmware. Everything is working fine except the NAS function, which is one of the main reasons I bought this POHD but it is not up to expectation, not even close.

I dun have internal HDD, just a USB Ex-HDD. Samba working fine.
I connect the POHD to my router via LAN cable. I connect my NB on XP also via LAN cable. I can access to the POHD but unable to copy any file above 1G (i think you guys know what I m talking about) to the POHD. Is there a solution to this problem? Pls point me to the right place if there is. I've tried acryan forum but coundn;t find the solution.

Boxbuilder, can you help?

Hi Pals, I have an answer from Eugene, see this will help you or not:

Please advise your user, if he is currently running on our current official firmware version r2901, do also download the extension package and install them via Setup – System – Extension Package.
Here is the link to download the extension package. http://www.acryan.com/downloads/PV73100_Ex...ion_Package.zip

Alternatively, he may also want to try our latest beta version?
http://www.acryan.com/downloads/PV73100/Be...r3615_Asian.zip

We have also identified certain memory problems with the BT/SAMBA service and has already escalated to Realtek for a fix.
The above beta firmware version may still be a better version for transferring over SAMBA.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Cheers!

First basic need is what sort of files do you intend to play and can you get hold of them?

YSLYSL, it could be some sort of data corruption either physically with your hard disk or some cross link files etc. This is common with PC's and laptop hard disks and we basically run a check disk to fix the problem (most of the time). So since the AC Ryan PlayOn HD also uses a hard disk, it may very well be suffering from the same problem. Does your unit get very hot btw?

Old issue, already discussed it, left, right and center many times before. Don't expect TrueHD to be supported, ever!.

Right now , it can't even downmix it to stereo. AC Ryan blaming Realtek and Realtek just ignore and keep silent.

I knew this from the time I decided to buy POHD. The reason?
The file size is to big for me to ehem by myself.. so I restrict myself to only ~8GB mkv files.
The AV quality is sufficient for my need biggrin.gif

Do you copy, move files to diff directories using POHD internal functions. Better avoid doing that and use PC to do that instead.

Last time while using earlier firmware I had some corruption problems. Since then I connect the POHD Internal HD to PC and do my housekeeping from there.

Just connect with the Cable provided lah (from the POHD USB Slave port to the PC USB port). The cable is the one with the Mini connector on one end and normal connector on the other. When your PC is switched on and you turn on the power of the POHD, the blue light will disappear after a few seconds and the PC will in turn detect it as a USB Drive.

Just use the POHD like any other External USB HD connected to your PC USB port. Make sure you use the "Safely Remove Hardware" feature when you want to disconnect the POHD from the Computer just to be safe (Just like any other USB device).

After you disconnect the cable, the POHD will power on back for normal functions.

If you watch mkv movie with DTS or AC3, it will be fine except for those movies with True-HD or DTS-MA.

Not the same, both different. But POHD and other Realtek players can play both.

MKV 'commonly' (not necessarily must be) contain movies ripped from Blu-ray and compressed (sometimes reduced to about 5 times it's original size) and resolution is up to 1080P. Quality is excellent considering it's compresssion ratio (common format H264)

RMVB can have decent resolution too, but however, for TVB series they are commonly compressed to lower resolution and low quality because a whole series will take up too much space.

Hi there, for you to manage YAMJ, we have created step by step on how to use YAMJ in POHD. Enjoy!

How to install YAMJ on you PC:

---------------------------------------------

1. Install Java http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp



2. Create a new folder on your PC, like “C:\YAMJ”



3. Download the new YAMJ from http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/downloads/list



(and here is the link to the last fix) http://mediaplayersite.com/yamj_latest



4. Extract YAMJ to the new created folder “C:\YAMJ”



5. Download MediaInfo from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/files/binary/



. You need the CLI version of MediaInfo ( MediaInfo_CLI_*.zip)

. If you use the 32 bit version of Windows then use MediaINfo_CLI_x.x.x.x._Windows_i386.zip

. If you use the 64bit version of Windows then use MediaINfo_CLI_x.x.x.x._Windows_x64.zip

. If you use Mac OSX then use the MediaInfo_CLI_x.x.x_Mac_Universal.dmg

. If you use Linux then use the appropriate package for your distribution.



6. In the folder YAMJ you have to create a new sub folder called MediaInfo



7. Extract the MediaInfo.zip into this MediaInfo folder.



8. Download Yamj Gui here. http://www.acryan.com/downloads/YAMJ/yamj_...3_zip_54096.zip



9. Extract YAMJ GUI Tool in the YAMJ folder.



10. Start “YAMJ GUI Config (ACR) v0.93.exe”and select the “movie” folder on your Playon!HD and click on the save button.



. There will be created 2 files called “ACR_YAMJ.cmd” and “ACR_Library.xml”



11. Start “ACR_YAMJ.cmd” and now the “movie” folder on the Playon!HD will be scanned and indexed.







Install Playon!HD-YAMJ trial firmware :

------------------------------------------------------

1. Download the YAMJ Trial firmware

" r3400_(European) fifth yamj Trial "

http://www.acryan.com/downloads/YAMJ/v7.0...._YAMJ_Trial.zip



or the newest trial:

" r3643_(European) sixth yamj Trial "

http://www.acryan.com/downloads/YAMJ/v7.0...._YAMJ_Trial.zip



or the first for the mini:

" r3612_yamj Trial for the mini with BT test"

http://www.acryan.com/downloads/PV73200/Tr...AMJ_BT_Test.zip



2. Extract the files to the root of a USB stick and connect it to the Playon!HD



3. Go on “Setup->System->System Update” and select “System Upgrade”



4. When the upgrade is finished go to “Setup->System->System Update” and select “Extension Package Upgrade”



5. When both successfully installed the Playon!HD is ready to use YAMJ.



6. Go to menu “Jukebox” and choose HDD.



7. Now choose “INTERNAL HDD” and now there will be searched for the just by ACR_YAMJ.cmd created index.htm file .



8. After about 5 sec the Playon!HD will find the index.htm file. Select this file and wait until YAMJ is loaded

( about one minute)



9. Select the picture of the movie and you will get more detailed information of the movie.

If you push the[enter] button on the remote, the movie starts playing.

Hi all sifu, new user of mini reporting here~

I find that this is one of the best thread in the forum, especially with a serious and helpful representative from the distributor - BoxBuilder. I m not too sure about others HD media player forum or others brand media player thread in LYP, but I hardly see any distributor give support in others gadget forum i join before so far.

Bro BoxBuilder, keep on the hard work to help the community, i m sure many ppl appreciate your contribution.

1. is everyone the same no folder created for internal hdd?
2. i tried to created folder movie, photo, music, but the problem is the browser (music tab) also can seen the movie folder, photo folder.. wasn't that LP PL?
3. the browser says u have 50 movies, but the screen is only show say 5 or 6 movie at 1 time.. meaning u have to scroll down many many time?

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 shocking.gif
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. doh.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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.

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.

Thanks for the reply. I never suspect it is POHD problem, just want to know how to place these files in smile.gif
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 smile.gif

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.

Pls 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.

Why you choose r3400 over r3643? because it seems that r3643 is the latest version hmm.gif

ALthough it is beta, but we tested is ok. As I mentioned, even official release firmware also got bugs. The bugs free firmware is an impossible mission. As long as the player works fine for my requirement, it is a good firmware. Agree?

Pls take note that external Bluray rom for POHD can play those without DRM Bluray Disc only. That means it cannot play the commercial bluray disc, only those self made bluray disc and pi.....oops sweat.gif . That is la.

'Not allowed' or it ask you to press 'Next' one more time to confirm? Whatt type of movie file are you playing? Are they all in individual files in the same folder?

When you press 'Next' a message will come out asking you to press 'Next' one more time. Did you press it a second time to confirm?

When you press next, only sign comes out? no message accompanying that?

Then you have to wait for Boxbuilder to assist you, as I am refering to the POHD big. I assumed it shouldn't be any different for the mini.

Hi, We confirm Ngto is correct, even for the mini. Once you press >>l, it will ask you whether you want to go to next file. You press again, the player will play next file.
