Thanks for the heads up!

great! thx dude

i see.. seems like me getting the wifi dongle then.. for now my router is really close to my tv set but perhaps one day might change.. so its best to get one then

If your router is near enough to the TV which allows you to connect with wired LAN, save your $$$ and hold off on the wifi dongle. Wired connection transfer rates definitely more stable and reliable

If comparing between homeplug and wifi, which is better? (stable & reliability)

thanks for heads up.
just installed firmware 7317 for pohd and mini. seems the problem i had with copying files between hdds is resolved.
also, do check that system is set to "auto scan off" and "clear history on" if you want fast navigation, no hangups.
note each time you install new firmware, the lan shortcuts, system/network settings, fav radio stations all gone... need to redo...
i'll play around with it a bit more to see if this 7317 is good now.

Added on February 2, 2012, 2:57 pmdefinitely. hardwired always better.
the challenge is if you will also have the pc next to router, acryan and tv!
chances are one will need a wireless dongle either for the acryan or the pc. (if notebook, then no issue)
i decided to use a dongle for the pc, hardwire the acryan. works well, no problem.

Homeplug will be better. That's what I am using to connect my player in the bedroom to the NAS in my study

oh good. Thanks

this 7317 firmware is fine. no more funny rebooting, additional lpcm multi ch audio setting, default settings more logical, etc.. go ahead and install it.

cheers to boxb and acryan!

Hi need some advice, now i mostly stream my movies from my AC Ryan Mini2 using wired LAN and output through an AVR, i would like to know the audio best set as passthrough or use it's audio features provided??
Would lile to hear from you guys on best audio output.

If you have decent AVR set, I think better passthrough audio to AVR. Nice to see "Dolby Digital", "dts" etc pop up at AVR rather than "stereo".

Hey Sifu,

Any recommendation on which model to take ?

and any forummer selling it ?

Thanks

If you need it with an internal HDD, go for the Playon!HD2. If you don't, Playon!HD Mini2 will do. If ability to surf the web is required, go for the Veolo

Upgraded my old HD to latest firmware!
I will say the new GUI2.0 is very nice!
Now i also can play some of the Bluray ISO which previously have problem to play.

The new firmware is stable already ??

can go ahead and use it. it's stable but not perfect...

still 2 issues, don't understand why for pohd:

1. for large files - when you pause for say 5min, it takes a full 1 min for it to resume, not a few secs.
this was seen in previous firmware, so, no improvement. for small files, never have this problem.

2. copy files... can't tell why but some files or folders just can't be copied from portable hdd to int hdd. it'll just stop. experimented with diff hdds, files with and without folders, can't find explanation.

other than the above, all good for me - subs, audio, youtube, etc...

Thanks Richard, HD2 mini allow connect to external hdd to get source right ? Sorry for Newbie question, pretty new on these device.

Yes, of course. You can connect any external device via the USB port eg HDD, BD-ROM, DVD-ROM etc. You can also connect via network to your PC, NAS etc

Hi, great offer for Veolo is coming. Details pls visit our facebook.
Thanks.

Hey BoxBuilder,

Basically Veolo allow internet browse, whereas mini`HD2 mainly as media player? what would be the price differences ?
