SUPER !!!

When I update firmware or NMT apps my popcorn didn't reboot automaticaly. Black screen.

Thx !

[werner]

you have a A300 already?

[accident]

I've seen some resellers talking about getting their initial stock in, at least on the french forums.

Quote:- fixed wrong version number for Flash apps UI

Is there a way to find out the version number of the api? preference would be to have it in the system_info command in case we want to do things different based on api version. (like the youtube changes and new player version where you need the newer firmware for it to function fully).

* fixed unable to do firmware recovery

Pretty crucial ! ?

Hopefully the ones sent out will already be this firmware ? Otherwise Pray!

A-300 sent out with flaky firmware ? Never ?!

[werner]

that has nothing todo with firmware installed on the devices, since production firmware there were around 6 firmware builds internal, the fix you wrote was a issue in one of this 6 builds), to name it correct it was in build 111010.

Regards,
Werner

not a big deal in this context. I welcome this first things that happened up to the first release firmware. Give me an idea of the state of the platform, what's fixed vs other similar platforms.. Very handy for me and a look into what it took to get it out the door.

Can you please give an update to your failed firmware flash? Did you fix it?

And yes.. More info please about the device in general please, what containers are you playing, any issues?

Thanks.

[werner]

he had only a blackscreen after installing so it just didn't reboot by its own which it should do normally, so he didn't have a bad flash or something.
