Hello Playon!DVR-HD owners!

We are happy to announce our new Release Candidate firmware.
Below you will find links to download this new firmware together with the change log and instructions on how to install this firmware.

We have turned off 'Setup>System>Auto Scan' by default. This means that the main menu 'Movie/Music/Photo' selection will not be accessible until this function has been turned on and scanned your local storage. You can use 'Files Manager' or the new 'Shortcuts' for quick access of your files. We have done this change due to the possibility of adding 'Shortcuts' and to save resources of the player for those who don't want to have this function on.

Hello,

You have all the changes and updates in the change log

Br,

Hello,

This was naturally a wrong paste from me. Fixed/sorted now!

Thanks

Ok ta - had just edited my post

Hi all

1) I wanted to ask whether it is already fixed while recording and watching movies in HD quality?

2) must be done due to format the HDD recording from EPG

Not ready for release! I safe flashed (as usual) and did my channel scan, set up Samba, FTP etc.
I was recording two TV channels simultaneously and pressing the info button to see if the first was due to finish (it was). Just as the first recording had finished the box crashed
After the re-boot (I don't have auto-scan turned on and history is turned off) the box does some preliminary disk access and displays "Starting NAS". Then it crashes and re-boots and crashes and re-boots........

I've pulled the power for now.
A number of the fixes in this release were already in the beta. The summer time option is a useful addition.

Fix 19 - choosing recorded program does not work - still drops you into the Movies folder instead of the REC folder.

When I was setting up FTP user and password I got a display $[unable service], but it seemed to enable FTP.

When varying the volume the black background in the dialogue display flickers a lot.

Schedule Record still interrupts what you're viewing or listening at the time.

Still no programme info data in the EPG.

Now to fix the re-boot cycle. My theory is that some part of the NTFS file system has been broken or corrupted.

I think you may have a lot of feedback to review when you return to work on Monday

Tony-thx for beta testing instead AC Ryan stuff.
They should send You FOC all new products and FWs.

And You are absolutely right-release is again on friday---just hoping that they dont have some national hollydays on mon, thu,....

THX Tony - i will not even bother to download this alpha FW

Hey tony,

please check this post regarding your reboot issue: viewtopic.php?f=129&t=15008

The problem might be that there the old .THEATER folder on the HDD. Unless you can 'clean the history' in SETUP -> SYSTEM you will need to delete it manually.

regards,
