The AC Ryan Play On HD has a new firmware update, I think architectural audio had updated all the ac ryan stock that they have, but in case they did not, you can download the firmware from www.acryan.com. Enjoy your new media player.

I've been an AC Ryan playon HD user for more than a year. My wife bought the unit when she was in singapore. Alll I can say is ok naman sya for my needs though firmware support is really bad. Just make sure you use the latest stable firmware(which is still a release candidate for quite sometime).
Then they have promised a GUI 2.0 firmware that would come by dec 2010 but up to now, it is at beta stage

check out the firmware releases here:
http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=44&id=0cd46b3fb93baca6d1ca003f720aeb02

if you are not happy with you firmware, you can use this

Latest Mede8er firmware unlocked for ACRyan PlayOn!HD and Mini V1.

V4.0.4 3/3/11

Yes you can flash backwards and forwards between OE firmware and unlocked, using the safe method.

The beta version of GUI 2.0 works well. In fact all AC Ryan Play ON! HD and essentials sold in the Philippines have the latest firmware installed. The newest firmware represents a significate improvement in the user interface and performance of the AC Ryan media players.

playonHD user here for a year now (also bought from SG). as far as playing movies, it's does it's job ok. on earlier firmwares (3875 and below i think) some movies (mkv files) didn't show pictures and needed to be remuxed. on newer firmwares (based from SDK 3 and 4) this seems to have been solved. i found firmwares based on SDK 3 to be really buggy so i'm currently using GUI 2.0 Beta (SDK 4). so far, ok naman apart from the sluggish menu. I also tried the hacked mede8er firmware with this and parang pareho lang naman with the other firmwares.

the only major problem that i have with this player is that I can't seem to access it via NAS mode with my computer. but from POHD, i can access my other NAS just fine and stream movies to it. then again it might be a problem with my router.

i also bought POHD2 (realtek 1185)for my father-in-law and so far, no complaints from him.

AC Ryan Play ON! HD2 and Mini 2 will be available in the Philippines early next month.

AICRAG · « **Reply #49 on:** May 24, 2011 at 12:17 PM »

The thing I like with this Playon player is the ability to play the dvd files(VOB etc) "as is". No ripping needed. Plays just like a dvd would on a dedicated player.
This is my first and only media player so I don't know what other brands are like this.

Unfortunately, it does not play the BD menus. Hopefully, the new "official" firmware of the GUI 2.0 can play this.

official GUI 2.0 firmware is now available for 1073 based POHDs. installed it in my unit last weekend. interface is significantly faster and the auto-scan feature can now be turned off. apart from that, it's the same as the beta firmware. i'm pretty satisfied with it so far and will be using it instead of the hacked mede8er firmware.

AICRAG · « **Reply #54 on:** Jun 13, 2011 at 08:03 PM »

^same here. just saw the announcement in the playon site this morning. Installed the new FW a few minutes ago and saw the improvement in speed. Same appearance with beta version but looks stable now with reagrds to functionalities. Loading and playing files is similar to 4824 FW version with regards to speed.(faster )
The scrolling time function while playing is back.

I just bought a play on hd2 today. I wanted to use an internal hdd that i use on my xtreamer pro. Only problem is the player is prompting me to format the drive which already has at least 1tb of data and it can't be recognized if i don't format. How can i use my internal hdd without formatting it?

bro merong sa "set-up" na setting for HDD format. turn off mo lang. initial setting kasi nyan naka "on".
One time "off" lang naman yan. hindi na kailangang gawin ulit evertytime you turn it on.
after that oks na oks na ulit buhay.

Hi, pls go to the set up section of the menu. You can find the setting to turn on/off the hard drive format request.
