This means I can’t watch any of my ripped and Handbrake-encoded DVDs. M4V H.264 MPEG4 files with AC3 digital audio.
There’s no audio (using S/PDIF) when playing. Interestingly, it plays all MPEG2-TS files from an older Dreambox DM600 (non-HD) cable tuner. The screen stays black and there’s no audio. Hangs up on many of my MPEG2-TS files from my Dreambox DM800 HD cable tuner. FLV files (to be fair: it doesn’t advertise to do so) Unfortunately, it doesn’t play Flash video. #Cyberduck mac osx 10.4.11 movie
No ability to jump directly to the DVD menu on ripped DVDs (VIDEO_TS), the movie has to be started first in order to jump to the DVD menu. File browser could be more responsive when switching directories (again, XBMC on AppleTV is fast and instant).

Bulky remote control: Way too many buttons! Look at Apple TV’s remote or the WD TV remote, that’s what I call a useful and simple remote for a media player. Randomly disconnects the FTP connection while transferring large amounts of files to the internal hard drive. 10/100 Mbps Ethernet is a joke on such a device, a decent 1 Gbps port can’t be that expensive nowadays?! Transferring files over FTP yields in about 6.5 MB/s, SMB 4 MB/s. YouTube and other portal integration loads slow (shows ugly empty rectangles). Once there’s a large amount of files or directories it will take ages to find a particular one. There’s no option to sort entries other than alphabetical (and only ascending). Scrolling with the file browser is a pain in the ***, it takes seconds to jump to the previous/next page. Copying is extremely slow! The PCH A-110 transfers data from my WD Passport 2,5″ USB drive at 7 MB/s whereas the same drive on my Notebook transfers 25 MB/s. Loading a VIDEO_TS folder from an external USB hard drive takes way too long (around 12 seconds, compared to 3 seconds on XBMC on AppleTV). Buffering from external USB hard drives takes too long compared to XBMC on AppleTV. No resume capability, playback always starts at the beginning. Crude, bare-bone GUI (it really needs some love). Disks spin down when not in use to conserve energy. A real power switch (although the external power supply still eats 7W). Two USB ports to add even more media content on external hard drives. Ability to insert 3,5″ and 2,5″ S-ATA drives. Support for high-bitrate HD content (this is where many other media players fail miserably). Support for HDMI 1.p (but no Deep Color capability). Standby power usage: 16W (19W with an external 2,5″ USB hard drive attached). Power off power usage: 7W (just the power supply with the PCH turned off with the red switch). Pop-Corn Hour A-110 main menu (left), AppleTV XBMC main menu (right) Standby power consumption & boot time If that doesn’t get you any visible image you may have to connect the device to a Composite or Component display. If the display stays blank, try pressing TV-Mode, wait for 2 seconds, press 0.
Please keep in mind that if you fool around with the resolution settings, there’s no fallback-timer if you switch to an unsupported display resolution.

In the end, I found out that the upgrade process didn’t fail but the new firmware did something to the HDMI-output that made it incompatible with my 22″ Samsung PC LCD display.Īnyway, it works fine using HDMI 1080p on my large Philips TV LCD display which is where I intend to use it. Unfortunately, this procedure involves connecting the media player to a non-HDMI Component or Composite display.

Luckily, there’s a post about how to recover from a failed firmware upgrade on the manufacturer’s support site.

I decided to apply it via network update but after a few minutes of “programming” the display stayed blank. All these video formats play instantly and with no problems on my XBMC-enhanced Apple TV including digital audio passthrough to my A/V receiver.Īfter unboxing the Popcorn Hour A-110 and connecting it to my home network it told me there’s a new firmware upgrade available. M4V H.264 MPEG4 files, lots and lots of MPEG2-TS files from my Dreambox DM800 HD cable tuner and a few. My movie collection mainly consists of ripped DVDs (VIDEO_TS). After digging through a lot of mostly very positive reviews I decided to get one too.
Much has been written about the “plays-it-all” Popcorn Hour A-110 media player.
