I use the Optical directly to my amplifier.
And Yes my amp (Denon AVR-1804) understands DTS, because it worked before...
If my output now ís stereo or my amp just sees it as stereo, i don't know, thats just how far my knowledge goes on this...

Sorry for my ironic answering but in my understanding i have a working situation with DTS and after the firmware update DTS just is not working anymore, so my simple head says: something changed on my popcorn...

Indeed obvious but checked anyway (u never know), thanks for thinkin' with me:
DTS = Raw
DD = Raw
Both were Raw before the update
So that's not the problem.

TnX!

In some rare cases I have seen that a firmware update can change settings even though the settings report as being the same.

I'd like to see what happens if you do the following:

- On the Video/Audio settings page, set "Surround mode" to 5.1. If it is already at 5.1, toggle it to Stereo, save at the bottom of the page, wait for the setting to take effect, then toggle it back to 5.1 and save again.

- Set HDMI audio to OFF if it is set to ON. Save at the bottom of the page. If HDMI is already set to OFF, set it to ON, save and then toggle back to OFF.

- Same thing with the DTS setting - toggle it back and forth. After making the changes, reboot the player and see what happens.

After deleting mscanner.db firmware update worked

For those who have problems with mkv DTS dropouts, (maybe you dont know this) but muxing the file from mkv into m2ts format usually solves the issue (use ts muxer program for this).

any solution for dvd / video_ts playback?

Have trouble with TORRENT as some have described already. All OLD torrents have been reactivated, not able to access it neither through Web-Dienste/Services nor through :8883.
And no, I haven´t used any user installed apps or anything - all standard.

What partially works though is
http://pch-a110:8077/transmission/web/
It shows the torrents, but regardles what you try to do with a single one - it says it´s unable and shows "Dismiss/Cancel" buttons since server is not responding.

Downloaded and installed the new (March 2010) update and quickly rolled it back off my NMT. It broke a feature that's always been there.

I download my movies into a hidden directory under "Video/.All". This directory doesn't show up on the NMT when viewing from TV. I then create Category directories in the "Video" folder, i.e. "Video/Action", "Video/Adventure", etc. Then in each of these Category directories I hard-link the appropriate movies from the hidden directory. Now when I want to watch movies on my TV from the NMT, I select Movies, browse to "Video" where it shows the Categories, I browse to a Category and the movies in that Category show up. I've automated all this with a simple Linux executable that copies movies to the NMT and refreshes the Category contents.

Unfortunately with the March 2010 update, all this broke. It now appears the NMT will only recognize movies files if they are in the "Video" directory. I really missed my movie organization on the NMT, so I trashed the update and reverted to the previous one.

crappy update it is

Plus idx/sub with multiple languages still do not work. Anyway...

I encourage everyone to massively switch to another product from another vendor and review the PCA110 as bad at any site you come across. The firmware is just total garbage. Haven't you given, to whatever organization is behind the development of this firmware, enough time already to come up with something that actually works. I can't believe that this organization is getting away with such poorly implemented Quality Assurance.

With each bug "fixed", a new one is being introduced. I upgraded my device a couple of days ago from a +/- 1 year old release (I think I was 3 releases behind before I upgraded). After the upgrade (actually I did a full re-install), playing some AVI files cause problems where the AUDIO is not synchronozed with the VIDEO. When I FW, the VIDEO will freeze while the AUDIO plays. When I stop and resume the same movie, the AUDIO resumes, and the VIDEO starts from the beginning.

I have been monitoring the PCA110 firmware threads regularaly for the past year. Nothing makes sense. So many things break just all because of a total lack of quality. There just doesn't seem to be any sort of strategy as far as release management goes. Does the management have any vision as far as quality goes? Do they care at all? Or a question to you all, do you really want to contribute to popcorn being able to pay their employees and continue their way of working? This organization does not deserve to be in business.

I use the default torrent app that came with the a110.
Had problems with it after installing the new firmware and nmt apps. But the torrent problem is gone using url http://"a110 ipaddres":8077/transmission/web/

I still have the problem that I can not access the share on the a110 from my pc.

Update: after accessing torrent client through the url mentioned above I could acces it againg through the old url

I upgraded my PCH-A110 to this new release and the old harddisk-never-spins-down problem popped up again.

I tried to disable all NMT apps, to no avail. On shutting down, you hear the disk spindown, only to spin up 2 seconds later again.

[anglocanadian]

Being technically challenged, resetting to the older working firmware version scares the hell out of me.
Could we not have an "update" that "backdates"
Just for reference I have the no play ISO. or TS. problem.

I have the same problem, disabled all nmt apps and removed all apps installed throuhg csi. HDD still spinning. Looking for a solution, but didn't find it yet.

After the update from 24 march 2010 all NMT programms are deleted from A-110!
And off course no connection with my computer!

I can't get NTM programms working again???

I also have this problem with Torrent when I put more than two torrent the popcorn crashes. All this happened after upgrading from December (version) to the March (version) before this all worked beautifully. Can someone tell me how to get back in the December (version) and what about the movies I have on hard?
