No its caused by the HDD going into Read Only mode. Reboot usually clears it.

Unfortunately the flac playback problem i posted before is not fixed in this release.


When this is fixed I can finally enjoy my music. At the moment after a while the device stops musicplayback and returns to the folder showing the files. It will not play music again until reboot of the device.
The rest seems to work fine in this release.

I hope you can slightly change the layout of the music playback screen.
At the moment the screen is too small to display long song titles. I think it is better to show all text at the bottom of the screen using the entire width of the screen and showing the album art above it or use a scrolling bar method, the kind you already use when you list long filenames.

Have the same problem. Also Play doesn't work anymore it just plays one number instead of the folder

After every movie i have to reboot my popcorn

maybe previous firmware was better.

2. NTFS driver update, now supporting NTFS write

does this mean it is no longer necessary to format an ext HD as ext3? does the a-110 'read' the ntfs format as well?

or can it only write on usb/ext hd, like apps?

Before this firmware you could read NTFS volumes. With this firmware you can also write to NTFS formatted USB drives. This means you can format your USB HDD in Windows without any additional drivers for ext3, connect it to your PCH and copy files from internal drive to USB drivex.

I find it useful, when my internal HDD got full, I had to download all conent to my PC only to archive it then to USB drive (since I was not able to format it in ext3 nor get my WinXP PC to support ext3). Now, I can connect drive to PCH directly and copy anything from popcorn to USB connected drive from the command line.

just for mkv this update was the best ever. Thanks for the X-mas present.
This will keep my A110 some more years in my equipment

Any mode of music playback (repeat all, or shuffle) will eventually stop play and return to menu. After that, I must hard reboot the box in order to play any media (audio or video) files. (I use HDD file storage only.)

Music and video playback are important to me, so hoping for a bug fix real soon.

Same problem here, I was really excited to see shuffle, and now its broken music playback

Thanks for this firmware update, I don't have problems anymore with subtitles and MKV's header compression.

Even more problems with audioplaying using the new firmware.

First part of audio is heavily muted. It lasts for 0,5-1 sec. And it is the same regardless if it is FLAC or mp3.

And the bug that makes the player stop after a track is still there.

---

The muting is an HDMI issue, I found out. I had HDMI audio turned off, I thought. But after the upgrade it was turned on without my knowledge.

After turning it off again, it went back to the old issue with a few 1/100 sec cut at the beginning of a track.

I also found out that it not only doesn't skip to the next track when expected, it also stops playing in the middle of a track. That has happended at least two times this evening!! I have used SMB only so far.

---

I have started several UPnP service on my network, and the A-110 do not find them all. After a reboot it find some of them, after another reboot it find others. But very rarely all!!!!

What can I do about this. My PS3 finds them all, always!

2. NTFS driver update, now supporting NTFS write

does this mean i can format the internal drive to ntfs and use it as normal (internal), only no nmt apps?

Yes, but with no apps, what's going to write to the drive?

[mar_tin]

File Mode button always works From external USB device, as well from any mapped network share. But I guess now, one can install the NMT apps, then take out the drive, and reformat the biggest partition to NTFS. That should work too.

[haider]

I have problems playing ntsc dvd movies. I can only get them to play when video output is 1080p 60hz/24 hz and framesync is ntsc/pal, wil always get ntsc output also with pal mkv video.

But when video output is 1080p 24hz and framesync is ntsc/pal 24 hz I get a black screen and my popcorn will freez, the system crashed

Thanks for the info, then it won't be possible to ftp (nmt app needed) to the internal hd only usb copy....

[dsoare]

long time expected. tested the mkv and wireless updates and worked just fine!
THANK You!!
I though have a recent problem, before the firmware release. The player crashes unexpectedly and needs a reboot. Any known solution?LaterEdit: during mp3 playback the system stops and sends me to folder view. after this, a reboot is mandatory.

[poppy_c]

updated today.

my Torrent client does not work :-( PLEASE HELP!!!. I cannot access via the PCH (app just hangs) and neither via the web interface

all other NMT apps work and I can access the PCH on my network

Hi, first of all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all community!
Secondly, great thanks for A-110 support!
Well, now my observation of using new shuffle feature.
I activate shuffle while playing m3u playlist of FLAC tracks - and just after finishing playing first track system stops playback and returns to folder view.
Moreover, now I see (even after reboot) that normal playing mode - either of folder or of m3u playlist - suddenly stops (not only while skipping to next track but also during playing track) and system returns to folder view.
Will try to roll back to previous firmware because now I just can't play audio normally.
I see some guys before also experience some troubles with playing audio after introduction of new shuffle mode, so there is some room for bugfixing.
