Well I think my player is dead! I tried to install an old firmware in safe mode but nothing append. Even when I try to turn on it on, I don't get the splash screen. I will get back to the store to get a new one.

Can be a broken power adapter and/or faulty hardware. As you notice correctly i would suggest you to return the unit to your vendor for a repair / switch. Good luck!

best regards,

The player is extremely slow while browsing NAS connected via Ethernet on 1Gbps bandwidth. I regret it. Hope they come up with better UI and improve speed.

Hi,

I bought the mini 2 a few weeks ago and have succesfully updated the firmware to v9.5.5.r5440
using the normal mode (from the system setup)..

I actually have not much problems with it but there are still a few annoing things to report.

1. When I disable the media scan at the system setup, it still stays active.
2. The resume feature seems to loose its data when the device is switch off and then
-- after it has played the first chosen resume (all the others are gone).

I also have the following question...

When I hook up the mini 2 with a Samsung usb dvd player, I can only play unencripted dvd's.
I wonder why this happens because I always thought that the decryption of protected dvd's
was in the dvd device, not in the player software. Am I wrong about that?

Finally I have the same request that someone else already earlier posted..
Can the X,Y zoom be moved to an earlier position when zoom is selected?

Thanks in advance!

Must be a problem on your site, browsing works nicely here, no hickups or whatever.
What happens if you play a movie...still slow.hickups or whatever.
What are you browsing btw huge folders with mp3 or what exactly?

1. if you disable the autoscan function also make sure to use 'clear history' option below that to erase the previous scan results
2. do you simply put device to standby or completely remove the power by switch or power cord? The player should remember the last played file to resume though.
3. encrypted dvd's cannot playback via any external usb drive. This is a licensing issue and therefore doesn't work. Unencrypted DVD's should play fine though (backups, demos, etc.)



same here we don't have any problems with the devices in gigabit networks. Browsing the NAS being slow shouldn't be a problem of our players since we test this daily on our nas at work and here at home as well and it works like a charm. Check your network settings / eventually upgrade the NAS firmware and also check your cabling. Slow browsing can also be a broken or damaged cable.

best regards,

Aah! I guess that is the problem (currently not able to check it out but I understand).


I totally unpower the device! I have a Samsung LCD TV with a resume feature in its player which remembers
the position of all clips on the usb device I connect (WD Elements). This even when I disconnect
and unpower everything. I expected the same with the mini 2.
The mini 2 remembers the position of many clips too (not only the last played) as long as you keep it on.


They do...

Thanks for your reply !

I also love the X/Y and FILL zoom options.

Well I hope you have more luck than me because they completely ignored me mate.

Hi Luciano,

Sorry for any inconvenience. You can try again installing the same firmware by using another USB drive, as some USB drives cannot work or cannot be used in flashing.

Please follow the below steps to do it.
1. Extract the file after downloading the software.
2. Copy install.img to the root directory of a USB flash drive (Do not save it to any folder)
3. Disconnect the power cable from the unit and connect the USB flash drive to any host port of the unit.
4. Press and hold the Power button on the front of the player and re-connect back the Power cable
5. Continue to press and hold the power button for 15 seconds
5. The firmware update will start flashing on your display in a moment and will automatically reboot when update is completed
**Do not power off the unit during the flashing process!**
