Asus Oplay HDP-R1 Problems

[k3caz]

My Asus Oplay HDP-R1 keeps resetting itself after a couple of minutes of playing either video or music, I have no idea why, it goes to the blue screen then back to the main menu, its running firmware 1.4

any ideas before I launch it!!

It would suggest overheating. Try flashing to an older version of the firmware and see how that works. I have moservices playon firmware on mine from here it runs slow but its hell of lot better than the default firmware i.e it works with windows 7 without issues if you have windows live on your pc. if you go with mo services make sure you update the bootcode if you need to go back to the orignal firmware.

will try downgrading to 1.39p, will not impressed if it is overheating as its only been on about 5mins

Nope that didnt work, film just has a green stop arrow appear and then blue screens!

so it only happens when playing a file from the network ?

So far havent tried from a usb stick yet, will do that to confirm. but yes any file across the network, seems strange tho the laptop will stream music and films without any issues, same cat 5 cable same everything apart from end device.

Tried from USB Stick no problems, looks like a network streaming issue? going away from home for a fortnight so will have to look at it then, seems to be no issues streaming to pc's and laptops though and they are wireless and wired! Could be the dreaded Virgin Super Hub playing up!

What server app are you using ?

 

[k3caz]

Streaming from a Synology NAS using built Audio Station

Does it happen on the upnp/dlna or file sharing samba? or both?

 

[k3caz]

both to be honest I do suspect its the Virgin Media Super hub, when I get back Im going to put my own switch and remove the virgin hub from the solution

How did you get on with using a switch? I'm trying to decide if one of these streamers is for me. Thanks.

 

[k3caz]

Yep, Virgin Media Super Hub is not the best piece of kit for DNLA, I bought a Edimax switch and put that in place and it worked a dream. However im selling the media player now on ebay, I am using the PS3 now as the media player as it works just as well.. whilst im saving up for a Dune product to replace my bluray player as well

 

[colint]

Was the Virgin Media Super Hub you had a Huawei HG532? Which model of Edimax did you go for?

 

[k3caz]

The switch is the Edimax Mini 5port 10/100mbps Switch, and its the new Virgin media netgear super hub, currently all its used for is the wireless and everything which is ethernet goes into the switch and 1 feed out into the super hub, works great
