Hi guys - need some assistance - I have not updated my set since I first bought it a year ago. Can I flash it to the latest firmware or do it need to do it in stages ?

BTW why is it that I have to connect and disconnect the HDMI to get sound ? Thanks

Does anyone face this problem - my Ac Ryan freezes when it reaches certain sub-folders. Is there a limit to the number of sub folders ?

Am using the latest firmware - still buggy though. I thought the version that used the globe UI was much better. This latest version tends to be rather iffy -response at times is poor. I have disable to the auto-scanning - tends to cause the system to lock up.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Bro thanks for the tip. Switching off the autoscan was the first thing I did.
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 ?

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 ).

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.
