Why firmware updates development is slow ?

Oh, I have considered it. I just keep hoping there will be a firmware release that will finally fix it. Syabas is aware of the problems and say that they are working on it .. in the meantime, it serves a purpose as a bedroom video player.

If you take a look at my sig, you will see that I have plenty of media players all of which work quite well. I bought the PCH as an upgrade for the media room (because it could handle a few more file formats). For some reason, it never occurred to me that the device wouldn't function for something as simple as a photo slideshow.

Squeaky wheel... give me what I want and I will go away....

Quote:We all know that you aren't happy with the PCH

This isn't really an accurate statement. In some areas (e.g. video) I am very happy with it and artwork on the PCH is just stunning. Placing the PCH in a bedroom where video is the primary function makes it worth keeping.

First, I don't consider it a waste of time. Syabas has asked me directly what I want and I have told them. That makes it worthwhile. Next, my disappointment comes from not being able to use it as intended. I do indeed use it.

When you look at all the bug reports, feature requests, etc on these boards, it is important to remember that my needs are really very basic and simple. I only want FOUR things:

1) Give me the ability to autoload a server on startup

2) Fix the photo slideshow problems.

3) Add the ability to sync music and images

4) Add the ability to resume a movie.

That's it. That's all I need. Give me those four things and I too will sing the praises of the PCH.
