But when I connect the hd agrain it reboots at hd unit again :-/ anyone know how to fix this (preferred without formatting the drive of course)
Hello,
If you manually delete the '.Theater' folder from the internal hard drive the reboot will stop.
When you use the GUI/interface to copy TO your local storage, then this bug will occur. This is known and reported. If you want to keep the r.5440 firmware, you have to use any of the other methods right now to transfer files.
FTP, enable the 'Setup>Network>FTP' option and connect to the player from your PC with a FTP client.
Samba from your PC, enable 'Samba' in Setup>network'. Then connect to your Playon!HD's internal hard drive with hostname or IP. From your PC, type in Start>run/search -> \\hostname or ip
Neighbor web: Type the IP address to the Playon! from your web browser and add :1024 -> ipaddress:1024
You can also use NFS network protocol to transfer files.
Just to mention a few workarounds until the GUI/Interface file copy bug is sorted.
Br,
