Give them a break man.

The A-200 had a firmware release less than 4 weeks ago.

It will come.

Those with C-200 had to wait about 2 months since the last update.

Ok, looks good... darn pity the new gui is not implemented but hence, that's just cosmetic.
Now, let's see if the subtitle handling is indeed better!

Thanks syabase support, and now back to work so the next update doesn't take ages like this one

[krazypoloc]

Can't wait to try this when I get home.

Eagerly awaiting the HD audio fix as well. Glad to hear Sygma is actually trying to fix this.

[getjp9]

Thanks guys. Works great!

[Adrgha]

Erm, anyone else experiencing that the large rotating load bar thing doesn't go away when playing Revision 3 videos from the app center? It's in the middle of the screen.

[golti]

Thanks. Looks promising.
Will wait n watch for other users feedback for few days before I update.
Actually a bit scared n cautious to update due to past experience.

just cosmetic ? not only cosmetic! still waiting for a jukebox for audio (my mp3 collection), photo and video (although YAMJ is pretty much OK).

Keep up the good work guys @ Syabas!

Take a loock at NMTServer if you are running a PC all the time. Its got a jukebox built in and runs off of YAMJ.

[samjaynes]

Thanks for the updates - I will refresh my C-200 when I get home... mostly looking to see if the mkv lip-sync issue has been resolved/work-around after doing a time seek %.

[Rom]

Lipsync looks to be fixed at my end. My worst video used to be really bad and now it appears to be absolutely fine.

Sort out the black levels now and I will be a happy man
