Guys, new beta firmware for pohd mini 2!

Hi PlayON!HD Mini2 Owners,

due to several problems regarding the autoscan function which makes the unit go into an infinite reboot loop here is a little how-to fix this problem. The main reason this happens is because some files/folders are damaged on the external USB Storage (HDD) due to unexpected shutdowns for example. Second reason can be that the actual scan database is corrupted for a simliar reason.
You have basically 2 ways of doing this:

I. repair the HDD:
1. connect your external storage device (HDD) to the PC
2. let the Operating System scan the HDD and fix the errors or do a chkdsk /f from the dos command prompt.
3. on the HDD delete the '.THEATER' folder (this will remove the database)
4. in Windows use Safe Removal Tool to remove the HDD
5. disconnect the USB Cable and connect it back to the Mini2 and power it on

The unit should come back as expected and work normal again. If this fails for some reason and the unit is still rebooting please try II.

NOTE: before shutting down the player when connected with an external USB Storage device press the 'Eject' Button to safe remove the HDD from the Mini2 first.

II. disable autoscan storage
1. switch on the player without any usb storage connected
2. goto SETUP -> SYSTEM -> Autoscan Storage and disable this option
3. goto SETUP -> SYSTEM -> Clear History Function and switch this on (pre r4585) or just press 'Enter' to clear the cache and history (r4585+)
4. at this point i'd recommend to follow the steps provided in I. as well just to make sure the HDD is properly cleaned / fixed.
5. plug back in the external device (HDD) to the Mini

NOTE: before shutting down the player when connected with an external USB Storage device press the 'Eject' Button to safe remove the HDD from the Mini2 first.


NOTE: Please be aware that if you have corrupted files/folders on your HDD and you scan them or let them fix they might get deleted. So if you have important files on the HDD backup them first before fixing!

Questions / Suggestions?

Bro,

Try to post your probelm here. These are the ac ryans guys. Maybevthey can help.

Guys, with the current influx of better quality mkvs file and many files also come with 5.1 or 7.1 TrueHD.
Our acryan is able to support pass through.
Pass through and become stereo. Is this the same case with other player?
I felt this is a big drawback of the player, cause recently I have got a 32gb of MI4, but it downmix the TrueHD to stereo.

Bro, I actually connected the mini2 audio output via optical cable to my avr that can take on TrueHd, but seems like mini 2 is only able to downmix to stereo.
Very disappointed lor.

i am using optical cable (red light type) to channel the audio to the avr.
you mean that to play trueHD only hdmi cable can carry the signal?
optical cable will not be able to?
please advice.

Thanks bro for the insight.

i have sad.
I have a 42GB of Transformers 3 - TDOFM
But my AC Ryan is telling me that they cant play the interactive menu due to the profile not supported. Will there be support for full BD menu in the future? Or it is limited by the realtek chipset ability?

I concur your statement. cause i am using, optical cable from mini2 to avr. and the display only indicate DTS / DD eventhough i am playing a TRUEHD audio.

But I would like to ask one question.

Why is it that when i play DTS the sound is sharper and louder compare to dolby digital ?
In dolby digital, the conversation is so soft and when the action comes in, the sounds become so loud.
In DTS i dont have this issue.

bro. need some help here. been using pohd mini2 for sometime.
now my collection of hd movies have grown to like 4nos of HDD.
3x 1TB and 1X2TB.
I tried to hook up a 4X USB Hub to enable me to connect all 4 simultaneously. I bought a A4 tech brand of USB hub.
Upon connecting to mini2, it cant detect all my hdd at all.
Direct plug in into mini2 usb port can work.
Please enlighten me how to overcome this.....
any particular brand for the USB hub?

Pm me bro for sites to access and source for good mkv files.
I have some decent sites.

bro. how broke is the remote? I also had a broken remote, i thought so.
then i googled the entire universe but i cant get.

so i opened the remote controll and found some dirt near the battery area.
just clean the chipboard. and it can function very well already.

try it. open the remote and clean the entire motherboard especially near connection areas with the goldish color dirt.

Whoa. Still got acryan fanboy here in forum.
Mine also 4 years ade. Still going strong.
I bought many other hi tech media player but still prefer acryan. Those xtreamer, minix x8 xiaomi etx.
