QUOTE(AVFAN @ Nov 11 2012, 06:30 PM) i suspect the chip is unable to handle it if you hv lotsa stuff, big files, etc. Bro thanks for the tip. Switching off the autoscan was the first thing I did. i gave up on the autoscan, just switch it off, it'll be alright. the issue i believe is that all manufacturers hv a hard time keeping up with new tech, new formats, big files, etc. all of them overpromise, under-deliver, can't deliver, then forced to give up over time when tech keeps evolving so fast. i come to accept the fact i can't hold on to old stuff but keep wanting new stuff to work too. so, either be happy with limited old fashioned ways or keep spending on new gadgets to keep up with the latest. my 2 fairly old acryrans and 1 china archgon - they all do a good job as long as i do not push them over the limit that i know. given the money spent, i dun complain, quite happy overall. to be on top of tech, guess i need to spend 1k every year to buy the latest one in the market - and i duno what that is now! However, this did not occur until a few days ago. I have even re flashed the AC Ryan ( v 7317) but the problem still persists. It just does not read the next to last line of folders. For example, I have 7 rows of folders under my movies main folder. When I scroll down to the 6th row, the AC Ryan locks up. But I can see rows 1-5 and the 7th row. Just can't access the 6th Have done a checkdisk, defrag ,the whole works on the HDD. What really gets me is that my RM100 + made-in-China media player ( which is even older than the AC Ryan ) can detect and play the files ... Any ideas ? |

Any ideas ? just a tot... did you set clear histry to on? what if you delete the last folders 6-7? will it then show only 1-3, 5 with no. 4 missing? possible the problem lies with the hdd brand as i remember there were posts confirming some brands pose strange problems. also, if formatting is not done with the player, problems may arise too, but this one, i have not encountered any serious problem even if i format portable hdds with pc.

Just to play movies only there is an option in the setup menu. somewhere in this thread, it has been mentioned that formatting hdd with the player itself is recommended, something to do with partitioning, if not mistaken. also, think it was mentioned some brands of hdd pose starnge problems but not other brands. discussed long time ago, i can't remember exactly when and where in the thread. |

QUOTE(AVFAN @ Nov 13 2012, 11:25 PM) haven't come across this... i have come across times when the player just can't read the hdd at all, need to restart to get it. but not folders. Yes I did clear the history. For some reason or the other even after deleting the folders -whatever remains on that line 6 is causes the player to lock up. ( I have moved the folders around -so its not the content but the line only ).just a tot... did you set clear histry to on? what if you delete the last folders 6-7? will it then show only 1-3, 5 with no. 4 missing? possible the problem lies with the hdd brand as i remember there were posts confirming some brands pose strange problems. also, if formatting is not done with the player, problems may arise too, but this one, i have not encountered any serious problem even if i format portable hdds with pc. I did consider the HDD - but this problem only occurred recently - no problem before, and I have also done a chkdisk. I did not however that the player did have some problems prior to this - sometimes when scrolling through the main main menu -it will skip a category i.e. skip "Torrent" and go to"File manager" , instead of going to "Torrent" first , then"File manager" . Unfortunately the warranty has expired ... The support page is down, and no new updates. The firmware has always been buggy as long as I can remember ... So if you ask me - am not a big fan of AC Ryan... The Made-in-China ones give me less problems at 1/3 of the cost... Well anyone who has any ideas please share them. As I said earlier , I don't think it is the HDD that is the cause of the problem as the older Made-in-China player that I have allows me to access those folders. |
