New  bug in FW 2.20: slideshow freezing. See this thread.

[prairiedog]

Need to increase the timeout value for media servers, such as PlayOn.  See this thread about ESPN3 not working on the FAT+ via PlayOn.

Also affects NHL Gameday.

Just a question on the last point :

" FW 2.20 - Slideshow freezing.

See this thread.

  - There is no work around. Stay with FW 1.55 if you don't need Netflix. "

Is this likely to be fixed in the next FW update? I hope so, as one Key reason for my buying FAT+ is the slideshow of photos.

2ndly, any idea when the next FW update is expected anyway?

Thks for yr help in advance.

Since the FW 2.23 has been officially released, this is the continuing post of problems and work-around

- Slide show freezing problem has been fixed in FW 2.23.

A list of features from another thread which details features which should be a no-brainer when designing a good media player firmware.

Most if not all are applicable to FAT+ because they run the same firmware I believe and have almost identical HW.

2.23 improvements over 1.55.

The scratchy distorted audio seems to be gone completely. I thought it was an HDMI handshake issue but obviously it was not since it was fixed by the new firmware.

It now recognized Blue Ray disc folder correctly(meaning I can chapter skip .m2ts file). With 1.55, I could not chapter skip .m2ts file. However, while 1.55 will play .ts file, 2.23 does not recognize my .ts file. No biggie, simple rename fixed the problem.

I get the windows 7 checkdisk prompt every time I connect the hard drive to the FAT+ and back to my windows 7 machine.

I love the Iphone app and despite that checkdisk problem, I am keeping this firmware.

Both 1.55 and 2.23 had problem with high bitrate remux mkv blue ray file. It stutters. I am now backing up my blue ray disc to blue ray folder since it does not stutter with high bit rate .m2ts file.

After update to FW 2.23 EMEA the FAT+ plays m2ts files not proper: artefacts and stuttering video.

I go back to FW 1.55 (US) and playing m2ts works fine. But it's a US FW and tv norm is ntsc (PAL is not

available).
