My my new firmware!!! It took a while but it's there... testing this out tonight!!!

Edit: I see this is my first post on here... shame on me!!

I've been following this board for a long time and love the PCH - but some little bugs were starting to annoy me - hopefully this'll just make it perfect!!

[deepak]

Finally!!!
Thanks!

[pomverachai]

Waiting for long while finally it's here

Fixed playback MKV with 1080p S_VOBSUB crash


Hope this Fixed solve 1080p sub/idx in mkv file

[werner]

no high res sub/idx will never get supported by sigma, because it is against the license they have with licenseholder.

[djnata]

hello,people have ntsc/pal framerate sync activated? what is the difference?

[JeKKie]

Great ! testing tonight !

[kudos]

YES!!

Will be testing this tonight too.....

Kudos

[quisio]

I had already lost all hope for a new firmware for A-200, will test asap.

Don´t forget "old" devices

Thanks

[Evanesco]

About time!!! I'd lost hope long time ago. Will test it right away. Thanks

[moddigi]

Hmm, tried to update my A200, keeps failing on ERR029 - both USB and online updates?

[EDIT] Disconnected the hard drive, installed firmware, reconnected drive and updated NMT apps, nice :-)

[lemkeant]

Finally! I'm going to sit back and watch. I want to see if others report any issues with this firmware before I jump on board

[werner]

you can flash back if you find issues affecting you

Could you please explain this process or point me in the right direction?... I'm one of those that actually is happy with the performance of my A200 and would be gutted to mess it up - However, I would like to aid in the development and bug fixing, so if it's not hard to return to the working firmware I'd be more inclined to try....

And of course I should also say thanks for not forgetting us

I'm feeling like I should have joined you.

After the FW update now my A-200 has the same issue as my new A-300 where it can't connect to my NAS because it keeps losing the ID and PW. When I enter the ID and PW it still will not connect.

So far all my Low Def ISOs and HD ISOs and MKVs play much better.
It is also great that the FW supports FLV files. I've been waiting on that for years.

Very disappointed in the loss of the ID and PW for my NAS. Looks like there is no workaround for that on both the A-200 and A-300.

PCH programmers are great but I do not understand this one.
