As a satisfied user of the old AC Ryan Playon! HD MINI1 "I wanted to buy new equipment because the gigabit data stream over my gigabit network, and thus the 'heavy' files to my TV set could stream without faltering.

But what happens is that a downgrade rather than purchasing an upgrade.

The menu where you must scroll through file consists of large icons, which only 8 fit on your screen.
So, if you have many files in a folder, it may leave you a long scroll until you have found the correct file.
(There is a 'list' button on the remote, but this is a detour, and not at all practical)

Also it goes very wrong with the subtitles of mkv video files.
The unit takes the first .srt-file from the folder, regardless of the video file. So you should always manually add your subtitle manually via the configuration sub-menu. (The name of video and subtitle are always identical, with no spaces or dots)
The previous 'Playon! HD MINI1 "I had it two years in my possession, I've never had this problem.

Also the sound goes mute, and you can hit a few times forward and backward, to get the sound back.

At first I thought it were beginners flaws of a new device, but these problems have existed since February 2010, and AC Ryan has still not be able to correct these problems through firmware updates.
I'm looking for another media-player, because this unit is a bad buy overall. This unit has won prizes, but many buyers experiencing the same problems as me.

I was not happy when the new one came out due to the fact that honestly it doesn't look like it's really something NEW. One thing that I was wishing that alot of people have wished for was the NetFlix media player built in. I have the PlayON! HD and it's done it's job but I really enjoy my netflix streaming.

For the shoutcast radio, can you add your own links or is it just a list of stations?

I hope you can add your own urls.

Ryan PlayOn looks to be as an very stylish media player. It has a really cool design and the specifications are very impressive. The player can easily handle hd content whether we are taking about 720p, 1080i or 1080p. I also like the fact that it has an dolby digital audio output which is great if you are having such type of audio system. VLC Media Player

How does this do when it comes to network streaming?

Can i connect a 3tb external hard drive to this?

Ooooohhhh I wanna hear deep bass! :D

Oh, I did hear the bass from the very beginning. My 12" sub can scare my neighbors like crazy.

Pardon my off-topic question, but what is the frequency response of the microphone in the camera? The movie sounded so good, even with a bass a bit lacking.
