Most likely you need to upgrade , cause non 3D support only plays Full HD material .you need that 3D chipset in the media player to support native 3D material from your source to output to your 3D TV.
Take note is you are using an AVR , AVR must also support 3D pass trough via HDMI , if not it would not work unless is media player direct to 3D TV.

If Play Half-SBS x264 mkv file should be no problem, just merge the picture with you 3D tv. ( Half-SBS x264 mostly are MVK file )
If SSIF file you need the new model A C Ryan Mini 3 media player, ( SSIF file is full-HD 3D file )

Thanks for your more detailed info. 👍

just curious, what is meant by "merge pic with 3dtv"? tq.

i have collected some sbs files, if and when i change to a 3dtv, will probably try it with the pohd.

Actually the Half-SBS x264 mkv file when you play by pohd mini or pohd mini 2, the picture is side by side or up and down show on TV, my samsung Smart 3D TV have a button 3D to choose merge side by side picture, up and down or 2D convert to 3D, means the 3D picture result under control by the Smart 3D TV.

This Half-SBS x264 mkv file.

Hi all. Im using ACR-PV73100 firmware version v9.5.3 r7317.
Recently when i browsed down 5-10 movies, then the unit crashed... Then, none of the buttons worked and the only way that i had to resolve the problem was disconnecting the power cable.

I suppose this is a known problem but anyway here is another one with the same problem. Can i downgrade the firmware as i found in the forum that downgrade the firmware will solve the issue, but the setting doesn't show the covers that we have in the folders of the movies. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm AC Ryan PlayON HD mini user, i'm running this Firmware_PV73200_v7.4.x.r7317, everything going smooth

Refer the bellows links, Are you running this version firmware~~~?

Good luck~~~~!

ACR-PV73100 firmware version v9.5.3 r7317.... strange... did you install wrong firmware?

according to acryan website and my own folder, 73100 is old/first model. for asian model, the last firmware is Firmware v7.4.3.r7317 - Asian Edition
http://acryan.com/sg/acr/support/ACR-PV73100/

howver, even for 7317, i had it good for a short while. then for some reason, not sure if it's due to ext hardisc or what, it gave so much trouble that i was forced to retreat to Firmware_PV73100_v7.4.3.r3966_Asian, the first firmware with the gui2. this one is stable, few problems but has 2 disbenefits - no hdd spin down, and screen saver wun work at pause but must "stop".

7317 works fine with the mini or mini2.



all said, my pohd is >3 yrs old. despite all the little troubles, i had much fun. great great buy overall.

Planning to get

Worth to get ?

Dunno what to do with my mini1 in case I purchase mini3 LOL

i never flash or upgrade it. actually i got this box for replacement after my asus o play prob, then sri computer replace this to me. ok i will try to downgrade it. err, can the firmware be downgraded? normally the firmware cannot be downgraded? thanks in advance and will let u know the outcome later. thanks

i see...

i m puzzled that the box came with v9.5.3 r7317 instead of official v7.4.3.r7317. come think of it, that v9.5 may be the beta version that never completed the tests, shelved officially.

firmware can be downgraded, just flash it as recommended.

quick tips for you when doing that:
. be sure you have the right version firmware
. read and follow instructions in full
. gui may be slow after installation - you can improve it by turning off "hdd scanning" and turning on "delete history" under settings.

I tried to flash it to downgrade, but cant. When using system update method, the mechine said no update available. When usimg safe mode, the machine didnt respond at all for a long time, just came out blank screen.

what shud i do. How to downgrade the firmware? Plisss

i am surprised... i have flashed, sys update, upgrade, downgrade, a dozen times!

likely you did not follow procedure....?

make sure yr usb drive has the right "img" file at the first level of the drive.
read and follow flashing procedure correctly - switch off the mains, push on/off button and hold, on mains, do not release button until you see a message on the screen.
give it time, it can take 1-2 min for the reinstallation to complete.

Yeah. trust me bro. iv been upgrading asus o play before but no prob. well, if u stay nearby cheras maybe i can send my machine for u to test? hehehe

now, i notice something...

Firmware v9.5.3.r7317 is for ACR-PV73700 Playon!HD2

this is the pohd2, not the old one 73100! so, pls check what model u hv.

if u just got it, it shud be pohd2 since pohd1 is 3 yrs old, shud not be available anymore.

if firmware 9.5.3.7137 does not work, you can only try this one Firmware v9.5.3.r3966, no other.

get it here:
http://acryan.com/sg/acr/support/ACR-PV73700/

3966 is a lot moe stable, imo. try flashing it with this one...

this is happened. anyone can help? hwaaaa

reasons...

1. the firmware file was not detected in the usb drive... becos it is within a folder, possible. must be "open" on first level of drive.

or likely...

2. yr pohd2 came with the latest 7317, failsafe procedure does not allow "updating" to older version. this is unlike pohd1.

but flashing should possible.

i would first try to flash to reinstall 7317. if it is still like before, flash it with 3966.


*** i just downloaded the 3966 for pohd2 and read the instructions. safe-mode flashing procedure is same as pohd1.
