I just reverted to the previous firmware, because my device crashes every time when I press the Setup button on the remote control.

Did ya do a safe relfash ?

Please safe reflash the unit

If playing flac files from .cue, not correct show time the song. Time is freezed after one playing track

So the old SDK with the Samba issues (which causes the player to lock up) won't be worked upon any longer. A fix might come in the new SDK release at some point in the future (high priority...) but this release is so slow on the original boxes to be unworkable. Hm... I think this means those of us that thought we were buying a network media player were conned and we will never see the units operating as was intended. Or am I missing something? The unit I bought specifically becasue of its networking capability has been gathering dust now for two years excactly. Do you think there is there any chance ACR wil upgrade the units free of charge?

I have a mini1 and using Yamj 2.5.1 r2754. Jukebox was rebooting before, as you know on acryan fw r5440 untill Omertron fixed months ago.

In r7317, when updating jukebox, 1 HDD froze the process and return to home menu, and with another HDD it reboots the unit. Then, without updating I can launch the jukebox but notice the year filter empty. I didn't try to remove all the library, change Yamj version and scan again though.
Anyway, with hundreds files to scan on the box it's almost impossible to find the culprit.

Don't you think that enabling a log file during the update would be usefull ? Because right now, we have to be magician to find the errors. Will you improve the bad parsing of special and accented characters one day? As it is, it's not conform to Yamj.

No the old sdk 1,2 and 3 have no samba issues

ONly this new sdk 4.x has samba issues.

But the samba issues are only on the hd1 and mini 1 not on the dvr-hd and hd2 series.

Please try to re-install the firmware one more time. Also do note that WIFI has changed during SDK switch. You are not able to use static ip or hidden SSID's anymore.


To speed up the unit you can try to disable the scanning option in SETUP -> SYSTEM -> Autoscan Storage + Clear History (use both options).
We will try to get a new AC Ryan YAMJ version up on our homepage soon. The navigation itself will not improve. It's just how the software + hardware work together.


This issue has been raised previously but apparently this will not be possible to implement in the SDK - so No, hidden SSID's and Static IP's will only work on previous SDK3 firmwares.


Have you tried the new scanning option under SETUP -> SYSTEM -> Scan HDD ? There might be some issues with your drives. If you connect over SAMBA please check if the folders are eventually marked as 'read only'. If so remove the read only flag.


FLAC + CUE has issues not only since this firmware. This has been confirmed already and reported but there is no fix at this point.

See post above. We have also noticed this. A new YAMJ will be packed soon with our installer.
Couldn't reproduce rebooting or freezing though. I generated several jukeboxes with 2.5.1 / 2.6 and had no issues except the filters.

best regards,

Try another USB-stick
Or be sure to format your USB-stick FAT32 not with the standard windows format utility
but with a free of charge. Panasonic sd-formatter:

Choose for option "FULL (Erase ON)”
And try again

That's what I suggested long time ago.

Anyhow, I bought a media player which is not delivering what was promised.
I just need the video playback. Wanted to have the cover, script etc. things, to repeat,
as promised, but Yamj implementation is a big joke.
Never ever a AC Ryan product again.

I'm moving to Apple TV 2 with XBMC
