Most of my flac files won't play with this firmware...well I tried previous firmwares but same problem (no ID3tag). Will there be a solution in future firmware?

Don't know why but I also do not have that many problems with this fw.
Watched different movies last week (mkv, bluray iso, dvd iso and dvd TS) and no problems at all.

The device is still connected to my philips 42pf7404 lcd tv and works great.


Sure some things still need to be changed but it's mostly cosmetic (better looking gui, more items on screen).

Keep it up PlayonHD team, I think you are all doing a great job.

Please report also following related thing: when you press Play, Pause, Info or something like this, icon that appears is NOT transparent; but if you press > key (seek bar appears), and after that press Play, Pause or Info, icon IS transparent, which looks definitely better. So, it seems that it's no big problem to make these icons transparent ALWAYS? It would make movie watching experience much more comfortable.

P.S. I remember that somebody wrote it somewhere on forum already, but couldn't find it. If this thing is already reported to E., then I'm sorry for taking your time.

P.P.S. In general, I like this last firmware release, and didn't experience any problems with it. So thank you for good job!

It's quite complicated to do it:
1) You must take original bitmaps and make background transparent (it took me almost 5 minutes)
2) Compress bitmaps again with *unknown* tool

i was using r2901 untill upgraded,i upgraded via the sytem upgrade via setup menu,the hard drive is a 1.5tb
Samsung EcoGreen F2

I don't try anything else than Firmware_PV73100_v7.06.r2388 anymore!
This works the best for me.

All the newer releases have the HDMI-related bug that teases me alot; the picture goes negative on a regular basis, and this is very annoying when we watch a movie with some friends.

Have had a lot of fun with the Hacked firmware of Titooo V2, so somethimes I change to this.






PS. I use a Philips 26PFL5604h

just updated the firmware of my Playon!HD ACR-PV73100 from the previous official release to the latest version (Firmware_PV73100_v7.06.r3875_European). It seemed as if it went fine but now my player is stuck at the boot screen. It does not react on the remote anymore and I can only power it off by disconnecting it from the power (taking the power cord out). What can I do to get it to work again?



I used an empty USB stick with only the install.img in the root directory of the USB stick and updated it according to the instructions.

I am not sure if this is the proper place for this but I am quiet desperate so please help!!

leave the usb stick connected to the player the hold in the power button and plug in the playon after a few secs it should go into the installing firmware cycle

does the 2388 version still go into the "you are about to format the hard drive " message a lot?if not then i might go to that firmware as it used to happen to me regularly on 2901,what hopping this issue would have been resloved on the latest firmware but seems worse than ever

try if pressing the tv-sys button a few times helps getting the correct resolution back on
the hdmi out signal.
might be that you need to press over six times.
other wise try to use an other usb stick and reflash the playonhd with the manual
methode.
