Hello BlackArmor NAS community. Our exciting new firmware update with the upgraded Remote Access service (mobile phone/tablet App support) is not available for download at this time. However, Seagate will post a notice on this forum as soon as it is available later this month (July). We apologize for the inconvenience.
not available...NOT? So errr...is this a joke? I can't see any new releases on BlackArmor NAS 110 site for firmware, except for sg1000-1000.1221 which I just installed because I found out that it doesn't popup in the login page automatically.
Now there's a 1000.1301 which seems to be cooler but there's no link to the download? 
Why did we get the release notes then if it doesn't exist?
I would appreciate it if someone could give me the link if it exist, and if not tell what the point was with this Sticky thread. Thanks^^
firmware working fine for me for my BA220, in general. I don't know if I use the itunes server as intended. my library is stored on the nas but accessed via my windows 7 laptop with no issues. slightly slow sync with my ipod but that's partially down to itunes as well. I'm guessing that most people have the itunes library on the computer and the nas provides a bridge to the library? not sure but it works the way i required it to work.
my tv (sony bravia) accesses my network over wifi and the nas via ethernet, no real issues accessing music library mentioned above directly on my tv, takes a little bit of time to list all the albums via that view due to the number of them.
never had a problem playing video files from nas directly to tv. the odd file but probably due to my tv more than anything. i did notice that when you delete the .tb folders my tv can't find the video files etc until the nas re-generates the .tb folders. i don't know exactly what they were intended for but with them it works, without it doesn't! so they remain 
also no problems playing anything really on my android phone using bubble upnp and mxplayer.
2 issues i have found:
a) i get email notifications for the shutdown saying "will shutdown in 0mins" which kind of indicates that a different time might have been intended to populate this field i.e. from a scheduled shutdown. I would really like to be able to do this, it can shutdown via web interface and notify when, it has a clock built in but no link between them to schedule this......unless i have missed something!?
b) i have the xbox compatibility option ticked in the media service section. my xbox finds the nas and all folders. displays pics fine and music works fine. But after navigating through the video folders (not via media center - as no windows machine in between) it can't list any of the video files?!
this isn't a major problem for me as generally my tv plays everything i need directly but on the odd occassion it doesn't the xbox usually did, so handy backup to have. also if this is an issue and not just me missing something then would be good to know for those who are looking to stream primarily via the xbox.
*** I have been playing about with this just now and managed to find one clip within that does play on the xbox out of all of them which is a WMV, all others are either MPEG-4 or AVI. MPEG-4 files are actually listed but unable to play. AVI's are nowhere to be seen. this might be a limitation of the xbox, previously it worked streaming from a windows 7 machine which may have been doing some form of decoding on the fly. if anyone knows would be handy to know.
any ideas?
thanks
