03-04-120517-21-POP-408-000 was a complete waste of time and effort.

I login to password protected samba shares without any issues... Are there any special conditions with your equipment?
Could you please explain what your problem is (you may help me avoid this problem, too..)

No there are no special conditions. I have a FreeBSD 8.2 stable server which also happens to have my media drives attached. These are shared to my lan via a locked down samba server which requires a username/password auth to access any share. All shares are published which was necessary for my old wdtv live to browse them. Currently I am using the 03-04-110531-21-POP-408-000 firmware which I recovered to after trying the 03-04-120517-21-POP-408-000 firmware. The 03-04-110531-21-POP-408-000 firmware and previous versions have no trouble reading my samba shares but anything after gives me a "Hostname not found" error which is not correct because after reading the samba logs I see that the unit has found the host but cannot login to the shares.
I was able to login to the shares by making them public which isn't optimal.
If you have had no issues with samba shares please post a sanitised version of your smb.conf for me to view (if possible).

Thanks

Everything works fine on my end after the RC upgrade. It's nice to have the "last disk accessed" back.

No problem with volume control on the C200.

Thanks for the follow-up firmware you posted.

Cheers

In fact my NAS is also FreeBSD based (Freenas)
I share all my files via NFS (I find it quicker)
But I tried to connect via samba, too and have no problems... strange thing..

Can we please have that RC for the A200/210 too?

I agree .Please make this Rc also available for A200/210 too

I recently noticed I was having issues playing large mkv BD rips (6GB+). I had tried to reduce the file size by running them through handbreak and removing additional audio tracks, but the fix looks to have been in the RC release. Nice to have my pch remembering the previously visited folder again too. Thank you for the RC patch.

By this do you mean when you turn it on it goes to the last used folder/share like it always did? I hope so. I wish the 300 did that.

I'm still on the FW from last year on my 200 units. After reading the posts I decided to wait.

I also wish they would have left the volume control like it originally was.

[mdeboer85]

After I did the firmware update, the c-200 comes with an "unable to resolve the host name" when I open a samba share. I'm working with a synology ds211 and ds211j and with both he comes with this error. I tried to resolve this and read every post here before but nothing works. How can I fix this without a recovery to an old firmware?

Workaround: enable the guest account on your Synology

Yes, that is what I meant. FYI - Someone else made some comments about the volume a few pages back in this thread that you should read.

Sorry, it seems to be the credentials of the guest account. Thanks for helping.

Someone any idea when they fix this? I don't like it that when I have to enable the guest account!!

You should only need to re-enable it when you add the share after that you can disable it and everything will function normally. least that is what people say in the thread dedicated to this issue.

Yes, but if you need to reboot the PCH, the problem repeats again...

This is the same error I referred to in my last post.
My samba logs show an auth error. Setting shares to public fixes the issue.
This isn't a great fix for the security conscious.

As mentioned in this thread http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showth...tid=62107, I've found that with the RC firmware I'm getting terrible judder on 24p MKV content when Framerate Sync is set to NTSC/24p. Setting it to Off gets rid of the judder completely but then stops me playing PAL and NTSC content properly since I'm getting everything output at 24fps (from my Video Mode, which is 1080p 24) rather than at the native framerates.

I'd really like to see this one getting a high priority fix as it's impractical to have to go into the setup menu just to play a different framerate source, and certainly not ideal for the family!
