Hello Playon!HD2 owners!

We are happy to announce our new official 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.

Best regards,

Installed firmware 5440, works fine........... Till now........
Further testing this weekend........

Can you increase the number of characters for the movie title on the main index page? The space on the middle is too long yet can hold only few.

This is my POHD2 settings
Setup - Misc - Subtitle On

On my Folder movies
movies1.avi
movies1.idx
movies1.sub

When i play movies1 there's no subtitle, when i hit subtitle button it says "There's no sub"

Then i add movies1.srt on my folder movies

Subtitles are display, and when hit subtitle button, i can select movies1.idx

please fix this problem.

Thanks

Make sure to enable subtitle feature under Setup->Misc->Subtitle

Noticed that this feature will default to 'off' evrytime ACR is restarted. Can you make it permanent just like the other subtitle features i.e size, position, and color?

Since r5311 during the film there is a problem with the subtitle toolbar.
When I press the subtitle button on the remote controller and want to choose the options (size, on/off, colour) there isn't the frame (only flash for a second) as it was in the last firms.

Does it appear at anyone?

The subtitle not detect some movies. Pls get it fix. Thx

Whenever I moved file from one folder to another, the system non-stop rebooting? Please double check this bug! Didn't seen this in previos version.

Secondly, how to make search easy if I have 500 movies in one hardisk so no need to scroll all over again and again in file manager?

Continue the second question, after found two movies duplicated in that 500 movies, and deleted one of them, after deleted it go back to begining of the 500 movies instead of last position so no need for me to scroll down one by one again at the begining?

It was the reboot looping when i moved a file from one folder to another, which started all my problems with the last firmware. This is disconcerting indeed.

The initial firmware is still the most stable......comical.

Tried to re-install firmware without hardisk, after install and put in harddisk the system non stop rebooting, getting worst..
