Thanks AVFAN. That means Essential is pohd first model, only pohd2 and mini2 is on 2nd model, and Essential is different chipset grade with pohd2. Quality wise is there different a lot? I no need network, but wonder is pohd2 and mini2 much better in term of quality other than network features?

With the SATA 3.5 hdd in, will it cause lot of heat? As we know 3.5 hdd generate lot of heat. Do understand that, Essential with build in fan, is the box still hot? and will it cause unstable if is hot?

Thanks.

apologies for some of my error - Essential has a builtin hdd...
i have only the pohd and mini, have seen the mini2, but never saw an essential.

had a quick look...
http://www.acryan.com/product/playonhdessential/

not sure about details but seems the main differences between pohd (not available anymore right, only pohd2) are the networking, bit torrent, internet media features and more regular firmware updates. i wud think essential basically is for playback, firwmware is simpler, need not upgrade as often. pohd2's extra features are quite useful - radio, podcasts, youtube, etc. all come out nicely. but if you are sure you do not want all that, essential shud be fine.

heat... this is where i'm puzzled. been hearing this but my pohd is 2 yrs old, never found it too hot or even close. i suppose the problem may be placing in a tight space, no ventilation. there is now a "hdd spindown" feature - the builtin hdd or ext hdd will shut down after 5, 15 or 30min of inactivity. eseential shoud have same feature in the firmware - boxb can confirm.

Pls use POHD to format yr hdd than this message will not appear again. It is bcoz POHD will create another partition for the BT purpose.

i copied a small file from pc to the scanned/fixed portable hdd, copied that file from that hdd to the pohd hdd.
right after copying, playback of the file in the pohd saw the same problem - pohd kept rebooting non-stop.
reloaded firmware 3582->4824->3966->5440, file on pohd could play normal.

now i am convinced there is a bug in the copy function. pls check and let me know, tq.
btw, my pohd has board 1073DD, samsung built in hdd.

it is strange if you had formatted built in hdd with pohd. formatting it with pc will cause more problems.
if hdd is not readable at pc, possible the hdd is faulty, corrupted?

all firmwares are available at:
http://www.acryan.com/support/
just need to get the right ones and do it according to instructions in the pdf files.
for pohd, i do not know if there is a faster way, but i had reinstalled in this sequence, works fine:
3582->4824->3966->5440
if 5440 is a problem, then stop at 3966 or 4824.

I formatted both ways to try because still got problem after formatting with POHD...
How can u format if is not readable by PC or POHD?

Also, I am using the latest firmware which is 5440...
I skipped 3966 so that means from 4824 to 5440 straight...
Is it possible to install back or use older firmware from the latest firmware?

Sure, just do:
3582->4824
you need to apply the "flash" procedure - it's in the pdf files found together with with the img file.
if you have the same problem after going back to 4824, something may be wrong with the hdd.

Hi all,

Just wanted to check if POHD2 can play full BD menu instead of BD lite or 1.0?

I tested my friend's POHD2 and it seems capable of playing full BD menu.

So, that makes it no difference with DUNE or POPCORNHOUR right?

I am getting it right?

not sure what you mean by "either flash".
only one type of flashing - means holding the on/off button, then switch on power, release only when you see the first firmware being installed on screen.
then use upgrade option to install the rest in sequence.

if you have 5440 in the pohd, think cannot go back to older version by normal "upgrade" option.
must flash to wipe it clean, reinstall in sequence.
i also suspect the problem you had may be due to you going 4824 straight to 5440, skipping 3966.
you can do flashing, install 3582->4824 or go all the way 3582->4824->3966->5440 to see if this is the source of the problem.
no expert here, need boxb to confirm!

one thing... after installing 3966, you need to be patient when the gui2 comes on. default setting has autoscan set on so, it may take a minute or two before you can do anything. press stop to stop the scanning, wait until it stops, then continue. if you set autocan off now, it will stay off even after you install 5440.

Do you transfer a big files in total once in a time? Actually for older enclosure we also face this problem. We suspect it is due to the RAM is not enough to input such a large file for hard disk and enclosure itself. Read always faster than write than the size keep piling up in RAM. So, if you transfer small file size, may be around 50GB, it should be ok. Pls try and see.

Regarding the show hang by itself, most probably it is due to file or hard disk problem. If you run other files no problem, than it is confirmed the file problem. Pls scan and fix your hard disk periodically as this will solve a lot of hard disk root files corrupted issue.

Btw, we always not recommended WD Green bcoz it gives us a lot of issue, not only at media player, but also enclosre and NAS.

using WD Blue here, also got issue kah? hmm.gif

took out the HDD and run a scan & fix via cmd, chkdsk, no issue/problem found

everything plays perfectly on my PC as well

when plug into POHD, sometimes it will play perfectly without any issue, but sometime it will hang half way, i/o error, then "unsafe eject of media" something like that again

anyone got the same issue?? if the problem still persist, I think I'll consider jump camp already hmm.gif

Is it always happening at the same file? If u copy out the file to a external hard disk, will this happen again? if everything look ok, can u try to run a safe mode upgrade for the player and try again?
PC running media file is totally different with media player. Some media player want a perfect show, they set the player very sensitive that even 1 frame got problem in the file, than player will hang or down. But PC always will skip it and still running which u cannot notice the very small stumble.
Nevetheless, if your other files run smoothly, it may not due to the player problem, but file. Otherwise pls send back to where u bought and we will check for you ya.
Thanks.

i dun think you can buy playonhd, the first old model anymore.
better go for playonhd2 - newer more powerful chip.
main diff for pohd2, i think is usb 3.0 bs usb 2.0 - only good if yr pc and other connections are usb 3.0.
also can take 2TB built in hdd rather than 1.5TB.
basic functions, fairly similar. probably faster when navigating.

details, check and compare from website:
