One thing I've noted since updating to this firmware is both of my PBOs are running hot after watching only a couple of movies. Both have internal hard drives, but they have never experienced this...

This is what I suspected. Thank you. I just didn't want to update, then update again if I updated the PBO with the wrong one (did I just use update three times, eeep now four times).

Thanks for the link, but again, I couldn't find BC18-R72. I only found BETA_P70R2 as the latest.

Thanks for the info. Where can I find this firmware since the latest I could get from here: http://patriotmemory.com/support/driversp.jsp
was BETA_P70R2.

A lot of new releases are unviewable in my PBO. I updated my Asus O! Play which does enable this feature with an update and all the videos I couldn't watch on PBO are now watchable. Is there an...

You're right about that. Transfer speeds are most def snail-like.

It works great as an external USB drive plugged into my Asus O! Play. Now, the movies that would freeze the PBO can actually play. I don't have to worry about firmware updates, AND the PBO is no...

A lot of people are upset with Toyota since their acceleration is still in beta which necessitated a recall. So how do you like your comparison now?

Anyhow, thanks to all respondents. I'm still...

Since you experienced problems with CCCP several years back, I'd encourage you to check it out since the updated version is from 9/9/2009 so it's worth a look.

Why K-lite? Everyone I know is using the CCCP and it supports every codec I've ever ran into.

My rig has a intel i7 chip, with 6GB of triple channel memory, and a GTX 285 card running win7...

That's part of the reason why I quoted aasoror instead of Ben or CJ since he has more posts than both of them combined and is probably the most credible source on this forum.

I have enough hack...

As long as I see advice like this, then no, I'm not updating. I should not have to open up this thing and remove the harddrive every time I want to update (seriously!?). It should be guaranteed...

I haven't updated my PBO at all since purchase since it doesn't look like they've even got updating successfully implemented, yet. I don't care to remove my internal drive AND still risk bricking. ...

All the files that were problematic were MKV (not even 1080p but 720p). As I stated O!Play played all of them except one. My computer can play all of them on VLC. PBO played about half. All...

If it would play your media which in my case resulted in a 50% failure rate while the O!Play has been at 99.9% (I found one out of a thousand movies that made the unit hang up). That's totally unsat.

I pre-ordered the PBO from amazon because of various reviews I read at the time. I already owned the Asus O!Play, but I decided to buy the PBO since I wanted to put my daughter's child-friendly...

I only experience some stuttering in some movies that otherwise play fine using VLC with combined community codec pack installed.

My #1 beef with this machine is subtitles by default, and 4 button presses to disable. For mkv, bluray rips with subtitles embedded being the majority of the files I'm running in this machine, this...
