No probs, for me the biggest advantage is the shortcuts. Before there was half a dozen key presses just to get to the folder my files were in.

Will check and eventually report this as we haven't noticed this yet. Thanks for the input!


When it's ready , but no seriously we cannot give a timeframe here as that has haunted us in the past. You know we are always working on it and when we feel ready we will update the forum / homepage. I hope you can show a bit more patience now since there's a couple of issues that need to be fixed before we can come up with something new for you guys.

Thanks & best regards,

Exactly my point. I do not need any new features, just some fixes that were introduced in the latest official firmware. I do not want to go back to an older firmware since that one also had some issues. So I'd rather wait for a new firmware with the most important issues fixed. But don't get me wrong: r5440 is still the best firmware to date!

The firmware is basically a Linux distribution and in Linux the way to mark a folder as hidden is putting a "." in front. Hence I doubt this could/should be solved.

my synology nas is a linux distro aswell and it works there so i guess it should be doable in firmware aswell i did a 0. for now on nas ;x

Very good Firmware update. Lots of new options on the internet and some files that would not play now do.

On the downside the device seems to be a little sluggish, sometimes triggering me to press the remote buttons a second time while it's actually still processing things but it's a small price to pay and just something to get used to.

The only thing that did change is that the mini doesn't offer to play a video_ts folder anymore. I have to enter the folder and select the .ifo file to play a dvd from my NAS. Again, not really a problem but I don't understand the reason for the change in behaviour.

that was done last update i didnt do it since gui2.0

Just select the folder you want to watch and press PLAY on the remote. No need to select the .ifo file

I have also noticed that sometimes I have to press a button on the remote twice before I get any response.
But when I press the info button when playing a 1080p mkv file the movie starts to stutter and it will stutter until I have selected and deselected the subtitles button. I am using an USB-powered harddisk (Samsung G2 320GB).
Can this also be fixed in the next firmware update?

Thanks for your great efforts on making this the best mediaplayer next to the HD mini 2!

In unix, folders and files starting with . are hidden by default. So system, settings etc. files use that to hide them selves from normal views.

I think there's a shortcut to scroll long lists easily.
