My Mini2 is connected via gigabit to my server PC and I don't have this problem here (so far :) )

Hi
I have found that when I open a folder (using upnp Windows Media or Psp media player) with multiple video files the list always starts with the files that have a number as the first part of the name,then the files with upper case letters and then files with lower case letters. I find that this messes up with the playing in order of my files and makes some play the wrong video. It never happens on my Playon HD Mini 1, they always play in order as they are listed on my hard drives.

Hello Firmware engineers. I have had good results with the player to date on Blu Ray-Iso Files where I watch my complete movie from hard disk but there is one big problem because of a lack of full menus. This problem is associated with only certain Blu Ray ISO movie files where an extra track maybe be longer than the actual movie. Example movie with director comments are sometimes longer than the movie itself. In all cases the The Playon! mini player grabs the longest track so I can never actually watch the movie. Please provide an alternate menu select when starting a movie to allow selecting the second longest track as the main movie to get around this issue on movies like TOP GUN and others I have experienced. If you want to watch the movie and not the longest track in the Blu Ray ISO it is impossible without a work around in the menu you provide to either select the longest track or the 2nd longest track. HELP PLEASE!!!!!


Finally, I have the same issue!

I have created a new thread for this problem. Please respond in there. :)

Looking at the YouTube video it seems to me that the player is crashing out of the movie at start-up and falling through to the next thing in the list. You can see this in the icons in the top left, cycling through different states. Evidently in the middle of some movies it can fall out and do the same thing (play the next one).

2nd problem & this is a BIG ONE ... I played a move for my kids.. starts fine then after about 30 seconds it jumps to A DIFFERENT movie, not great when you put the simpsons on for the kids & it jumps to a a War movie....


I think you should consider putting your war movies in a different directory. I suspect that even if the player behaved correctly, its "correct" behaviour would mean that it would still go into this war movie at the end of the Simpsons, because it thinks it's working through a kind of playlist (that being the whole directory).

Just fiddling about in the setup menu it occurs to me that it's possible to turn off 'Resume playback' (I think, I'm away from the box right now). Presumably this attempts to remember the playback position and to seek back to this position next time.

Try turning it off and seeing if the problem goes away. If it does then perhaps that suggests that trying to play a movie from something other than the start position renders that file unplayable, or at least unreliable.
