Popcorn Hour User Manuals [16 Nov 2012]

Did you spot the update I made, Werner?

[johnagr]

good work werner. The manual is really a option for people that dont want use the wiki frequently. Syabas could send it with the c-200 package

I use "the crap shitload firefox" on my MAC mini and downloaded the pdf without any problem.

Very nice work. Thank You!!!

Some suggestions for improvement.

1. On the video connections page, change the order of connections to this:

HDMI
Component
S-Video
Composite

Because that is most logical. The HDMI cable comes with the package and provides best quality. The other three provide progressively worse quality, and are not included in the package.

2. Make more extensive use of PDF-internal links. Example: In the FAQ, there is a question asking if myIhome can play DVD ISO, and it says use SMB/NFS function instead. Most people who need a manual would not know what SMB and NFS are, so if there was a hotlink to the sections for setting up SMB and NFS, that would help.

3. In the instructions for playing a movie, it says press PLAY or ENTER to start the movie. While that is correct I think it should be mentioned that ENTER is the method for single file playback, and that PLAY is used for multiple playback. This is one of the functions that is unique to the NMTs, so it should be emphasized, people will not understand it automatically.

Can't download the pdf directly in your post too. Using "coolest" IE8, without any shit. It got the message, that is not allowed.

So I downloaded it from going to the other link.

Uhm Werner, the ftp user should be nmt, not ftpuser.....

Anyway, good for new people, Just sent an email to my friend.

RedHat, did you try to right click the file in werner's post and choose "Save link as"?

@dc11ab

Did that change in the c200?

i was pretty sure in atleast the A series that ftp had its own user name? ftpnmt

where as most other things like smb and others was just nmt?

[dc11ab]

I'm at work so I can't verify for sure, but I do recall the user/pass for FTP on C200 to be nmt/1234, just as the other file services. FWIW my assumptions are confirmed in our wiki too.

I haven't checked the latest fw on the -100 series, but it probably still has the ftpuser/1234 for FTP.

Yes, didn't work too.

This is what I get, when I click the link:You do not have permission to access this page. This could be because of one of the following reasons:
1.Your account has either been suspended or you have been banned from accessing this resource.
2.You do not have permission to access this page. Are you trying to access administrative pages or a resource that you shouldn't be? Check in the forum rules that you are allowed to perform this action.
3.Your account may still be awaiting activation or moderation. (Resend Activation Code)

Looks good...

My comment (other then the FTP username), is you should indicate under the video section the C200 is capable of doing HDMI 1080p24.

[werner]

can the betatesters please try again to download, there was something wrong on grouppermission for that section , so try again if it now works

[RedHat]

Works now Werner! Thanks.
