does someone know, if V8 is capable of receiving an audio stream from NAS? Specifically, I have Synology DS212j and would like to know, if it is possible to play audio stream from AudioStation running on this server through V8.

Also I would like to know, if V8 handles stylized *.ASS subtitles properly, mainly fonts, position and multiple subtitle streams, I don´t care about karaoke effects etc, though. Thanks a lot for any answer.]]>

I live in Denmark, and we don't have any of the american channels, and it's pretty annoying to watch ppv's on my pc.

I want to see it on my TV.
Why not just watch them on my popbox?

And no, I'm not interested in buying a graphics card with tv out. My pc is in another room.]]>

I just broke my PCH A200 and bought a Popbox V8 instead.

I read all the guides, and I must admit I find them rather confusion to say the least.

On my PC, I have a working yamj for the popcorn hour machines, but as I can understand, the popbox doesn't read html.

So what I have to do is, change the skin to eversion right?
It that it or?

I'm a linux user, so the guides are mostly useless to me, and I think there are too many and too confusing.

Appreciate the help]]>

So when I then go out of the shares and into the home menu, and try to get to the shares through the Network Browser, I get this error when I try to access the WORKGROUP network shares:

"An error occurred, cannot proceed your request. (ERR 914)

There's no way to get around this - turning the V8 off and on doesn't help one bit. The only way to "fix" this, is by unplugging the V8 and plugging the power back in. Then it suddenly can find the shares again and it seems like nothing has happened.

But a few minutes later, the V8 loses the shares again and I have to unplug the thing all over again.

I suspect this is a bug in the share-management within the firmware. My shares are hooked up to a Fritz!Box, which acts as a NAS. No passwords, no usernames.

I'd love to have this fixed, because apart from this, the V8 is a wonderful little machine...

Hope to hear from the developers soon!

You sent me a PM asking me the following question.
"Hi Mike:

Can you explain to me how to fix the database to show the real recently added.

My list of recently added does not come close to being what has been recently added. There are movies over a year old that show up and ones I put in last week do not. I tried to restart the database from scratch but still not right.

Can I manually fix the database to show the recently added movies?

BobVal "

I was not able to reply due to you selecting not to receive any PM's, so I am answering here, hopping you see this.

Answer to your question is that as far as I know the Recently Added are not stored in the database on the flash drive. From what I understand from the Syabas people, the Recently added is stored within the Popbox unit itself (I assume in some internal flash memory). I have found no way of fixing this problem they have of not showing the recently added shows in the Recently Added section.

Sorry can't help more.

Last week i got a connection after unplugging the power supply /usbcable for the 4th time. But now, after unplugging 10 times, the connection is just dead.

Anybody got an idea what the problem could be?]]>

I have a central house server with 6 internal sata drives. Media is shared on each of these drives. To save energy, these drives will spin down after a while when not in use. The problem occurs when this happens, as it takes a few moments for the drives to spin up again. This is noticeable when you access the shares from a laptop, but the shared data will still show up eventually.

When you access the (spun down) shares from popbox3d however, it shows the folder as empty, presumably there is a time out. Unfortunately it seems to cache this, for it still shows up empty when you try to access the USB share from the popbox3d. When this happens I often have to unplug the box.

I've worked around it by accessing the shares from my laptop prior to navigating to them via popbox3d, but it is a major pain.

Can you increase the time-out for accessing the Samba shares, or at least get it to stop caching the value when it thinks the share is not there.
