If you do this, you'll need to install the May 2011 firmware via USB before updating to the July 2012 firmware.

Well worth doing it if you're having problems. Worked for me.

Thanks for reporting it helped. I think most of the "unhappy posters" would be much happier if they just did it also.

By the way, I have never been able to step 5: Component or Composite or HDMI video will display blue background with "Firmware recovery. Please insert USB"

If you're not recovering from a firmware update failure then steps 1 to 7 won't work - you'll need to follow steps 1 and 2, then A to J.

I don't see any notes about it so I'm saying no change here. Nobody really posted anything about this and even the most technical users here never use it if they even know it exists to use. I would liek to recommend you take a few moments and type up a bug on it because it's not somethign in the back of everyones mind to remind syabas to fix.

I expected hdmi-cec problem to be solved as this feature is not removed, pch is recognized on TV as hdmi-cec device and thing is obviously not working.
I am asking this question as I allways tend to reduce number of remote controls around TV .
Thanks for your advice, I'll do that.

Cheers

Hello,

Since I've done the upgrade, I'm not able to stream music to my popcorn, using Android or computer. All services are in fonction. Is there a conf file to change ?

Thanks a lot.

I have this as well however it does not seem to affect my YAMJ installation which has the paths set to SATA_DISK. When rebooting my PCH A200 and A210 an info balloon comes up saying "share disc SATA_DISK"

It doesn't like these if set by DHCP and it doesn't like these if manually set either, I have to use external DNS servers. Everything else in the house is happy though; never had a problem, just the PCH is picky. Weird.

(08-04-2012 03:07 AM)accident Wrote:  The last thing I can think of since I don't see many others mentioning this problem is you might have something in the firmware corrupted. The recovery procedure is the best way to reformat, retest and map out the nand storage. The last rounds of beta testing, the testers discovered their players were in all different states of working and they started to do firmware recoveries, followed by a factory reset followed by installing the firmware they wanted to use and it cleared up all the nobody could recreate problems.

accident. Ok, done the full firmware recovery and a little better off. It likes my internal DNS servers but only if they are manually set via "configure IP". Using DHCP to assign DNS results in name resolution failure. Additionally if I reboot the PCH, although the DNS servers are not lost, I have to view them and save them for them to become effective. I'm therefore concluding that there is still something wanky going on with networking, in this latest firmware. Any chance it could be will be fixed in the near future?

THE SAME VIDEO LOOKED THROUGH FACEBOOK APPLICATION WORK PERFECTLY, ON YOUTUBE APPLICATION HAS ALREADY REPORTED DEFECTS: ABSENCE OF AUDIO, AND IMAGES SLOWLY OR LOCKED.
I CONCLUDE THAT A YOUTUBE APPLICATION IS NOT ADEQUATE TO UPDATING FIRMWARE, PLEASE DO SOMETHING!

this firmware is just a nightmare.Nothing does not work anymore.. a complete fiasco.

[plouf34]

When I see all your discussions, I'm pleased to have joined Dune and my dune HD TV-301.... and sell my PCH

Few bugs i want to share

*Time resets itself after every reboot to 2010-06-22. Manually updated the time with telnet but after a reboot it's resetted again.

*Can't get my NZBget to work after the update. Downloading ages with 0.8 testing, but now getting errno145, could not resolve host. Tried to reinstall it starting stoppping,nothing seems to help.

[warpspeed]

I updated, no problems so far. But one rather annoying problem that I had on the previous firmware persists.

On some m4v files, the audio gets out of sync. Doesn't happen when I play them in VLC or other media players, only on my PCH-A210

My Popcorn Hour loses it wireless connection from time to time. This is annoying when playing music on my computer.
