V5 Mede8er F/W for AC Ryan
this is the final version of the Mede8er (500) firmware for the AC Ryan (HD1). I have not managed to update mine, but some users have reported that it works.

Where did you find the modded Mede8er Firmware for the Ac Ryan.
I have a PlayonHD Mini and i want to change the crappy Gui2 beta FW to a newer one than the old stable AcRyan FW.
please email me,
thanx
fast and responsive! It’s definitely not as pretty as the new GUI from AC Ryan but at least it not riddled with bugs.
Be sure to use the safe flashing method if you attempt this:
•Copy install.img to the root directory of a USB flash drive and connect it to any USB host port of the Playon!HD.
•Switch off the main power to the unit.
•Press and hold on to the power button on the front panel of the unit.
•Switch on the main power.
•Release the power button when the firmware update starts flashing on your display in a moment and will automatically reboot when update is completed.
**Do not power off the unit during the flashing process!**
Note: You can’t go from v7.4.x on the playon to this mede8er firmware, v7.4.x has a different bootloader. If your playon is on v7.4.x then downgrade to v7.3.x (http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=10197) before installing the mede8er firmware.
AFAIK this will void your warranty so do it at your own risk. Most problems can be fixed by flashing back to the playon firmware anyway. I’m just using this until AC Ryan releases a fixed version of their firmware with the new GUI.
Only for the origianl Playon! HD and Playon! HD mini – NOT for the newer version 2 players.

Ok I just wanted to update the firmware post as there are 2 versions of the latest unlocked firmware for PlayOnHD V1 based on the following info from Mede8er, so both firmwares are available as either HDMI or SPDIF, read further to decide which applies to you.
The reason for 2 firmware versions is that the new SDK that we are using has restrictions as foll
1) DD Hardware all will work as it should and you will get 5.1 passthrough on SPDIF from normal 5.1 and HD Audio source material
2) DD+ Hardware will work as it should on HDMI but on SPDIF it will passthrough Core 5.1 from Core 5.1 source fine– but it will not pass Core 5.1 from HD Audio 5.1 or 7.1 source material
So users who use SPDIF cannot get the benefit of HD Audio (as we know you cannot get HD Audio on SPDIF) and they should use the “NO_HD_AUDIO” version and then they will get normal Dolby 5.1 and DTS from 5.1 source BUT they will also get Core 5.1 Dolby and DTS from HD Audio 5.1 and 7.1 source. If on the other hand they use the version “INC_HD_AUDIO” they will only get 2 ch stereo from HD Audio source.

DD Hardware = Use either
DD+ Hardware – SPDIF used for audio = use “no HD Audio version”

firmware in question is puerely for the HD….will check if there is anything availble for the mini/essentail (which should be either the 200/300 mede8er equivalent)
Hi Wiep,
Apologies for the tardy response – studies have been taking up most of my time.
same model as mine. ensure that you have the last release by ac ryan installed, or for good measure, install the gui 2.0 beta, then the mede8er firmware
I assume that your playon!hd is the very first one that was released by AC Ryan, which is the exact same as the Mede8er 500x. If this is the case, I trust you followed the update procedure that mede8er recommends…power off deivce, power on and hold the power button for a few seconds?
If you the above is correct, then it should work without a glitch.
Hmn think i wrote the wrong place before,,,but here goes
I wold like to try the firmware, how do i get ? 😉
What version do i have to install before trying this one?
Ive got the latest on now Firmware_PV73100_v7.4.4.r5440_European
hmn, cant get it to install
OFF wih the power in with the usb, hold power bottun while connecting the power, but nothing happens ?
Ive even downgraded to version Firmware_PV73100_v7.3.4.r4824_European
And the firmware i got from u is:
Mede8er Software for Playon!HD MED500X_V4_INC_HD_AUDIO_25Jan2011 0
is there anything u can think of im doing wrong… except my spelling 😉
Can’t say for sure. as previously mentioned, i had the beta gui 2.0 installed.
must admin infirst tried the normal ac ryan upgrade procedure where i ran the update via the system and this failed. i then tried the mede8er normal procedure of using the button and this worked first time, although it took a little a longer than expected.
I got a message now
This firmware will not work with this hardware, see mede8er.com for more information
And im trying this Mede8er Software for Playon!HD MED500X_V4_INC_HD_AUDIO_25Jan2011
and the firmware im using on it Firmware_PV73100_v7.3.4.r4824_European
I’ve been reading your thread and wondering if you have V4 r5249 or Playon!HD MED500X_V4_INC_HD_AUDIO_25Jan2011
I tried V4.04 r5319 and it consistently hangs after powering on and playing the
first video.
I have the Patriot Box Office as well and it hangs the same way as playonhd hd1.
I was able to find r5249 for PBO and it seems to not have the poweron first video
play hang.
Hi,
Check out my blogroll on https://lucienjuly.wordpress.com/ for links to the firmware…same firmware I have installed and no issues thus far. I had updated my AC Ryan to the GUI 2.0 beta, and becuase of the terrible speed, upgraded direclty to the mede8er firmware and have not looked back
I need Mede8er firmware for ACR-PV73100 Playon!HD because ACRyan’s last firmware is full of bugs. I’m so disappointed of this product and the support of ACRyan stuff. Please send me the right Mede8er firmware for ACR-PV73100 Playon!HD. My email: individix@yahoo.com
These are only for the 73100. I had installed the gui 2.0 beta, and due to slow network performance, and sluggish in general, I immediately upgraded using the mede8er f/w. Still running to date (it is the latest me8er f/w available todate).
No Joke. I recently re-installed using the same firmware, and is still working. Will gladly take pics and post here as well. Are you upgrading from gui 2.0?
Look, my mediaplayer is ACR-PV73100 Playon!HD. It isn’t MINI one. I’m not upgrading from GUI2.0, i’m upgrading from Firmware v7.3.3.r4824 – European Edition v7.3.4.r4824. So tell me where’s the problem? Can you please give me the exact Mede8er firmware for my mediaplayer that will work on it or you are just guessing? Remember, my mediaplayer isn’t MINI one. Waiting your reply please.
Happy to hear you got it working. Now, if you want to setup your video wall…
Have a look at mine – I had to customise my pictures the video wall uses (they are just plain crap – excuse my french). Very easy….and apologies for the poor quality of the pics – used my mobile – too lazy to get my camera at 3 in the morning. (https://www.dropbox.com/link/17.jr7YOu_xQP?k=666c5d15c9108936fddedb6f34a438d7)
I’m Not getting it…
I’ve tried it by installing an earlyer firmware from Acryan.
Still the warning that this firmware is not for this hardware.
Send your firmware please!
Thanks Lucien,
All is working fine now that did not worked well with then latest ACRyan firmware. NAS works again and is stable, Wireless is working again… Man.. you made me happy with this suggestion!!
I have installed the “Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF 0” version from your blog. This version is made in March this year. Is the latest version to install or do I need to search for a newer / later version at Mede8er site? Please let me know or let us know where we can find. Man… Thanks again for you super suggestions !!
Best regards,
Manus
Glad to hear all is good.
Now for the bad news…seems the Mede8er is not doing any further development re updates for the their 500x Models (which is the same firmware that we are using on our AC RYAN models). I will keep an eye out and post any updates. They are doing quite a bit for their newer models (500×2, which is brilliant – 3TB HDD support, wireless keyboard, awesome GUI, etc.).
Keel…will look into this and also find out if someone has already modified the mede8er firmware for the Playon…if anyone gets hold of the firmware please let me know as well.
Just had a look at the link you provided….seems to be quite a mission. Not as straightforward as installation I have (which is the same for both the mede8er and AC Ryan). Think I will wait a little while before I attempt anything…my mate (who has a 500x) will give this a bash, and I will take it form there.
If there any guys who do attempt the upgrade…please drop us a mail.
I have a acryanhd 7300 and I use the mede8ter firmware. It’s all good but I have one little problem. I cannot seem to choose a Genre-icon for my folders in the Videowall. I have folder in the root of the HDD named Videowall. After I selected the folders for the Videowall I want to choose a picture for the specific folder, like Action, Drama, Comedy etc. I go to the Videowall and choose Action, then I press the Menu button and then I see the little icon where I can choose pictures for the folders. But when I choose this I get an empty little screen, so no genre icons..
The sizes are 156X233. I guess they’re too big right?
Kinda strange because I did not resize the icons to a bigger size.
I solved the problem in a pretty strange way (if you ask me)…
I renamed the folder Videowall to Videowal (a L less)
I admit that English is not my native language but Videowall is definitely with a double ‘l’ right? haha!
Anyway, this way I can choose some standard icons but not all of them..
Interesting….mine is labelled video wall….and I am using my own customized icons. The size you mentioned is fine. The mede8er icons are rather dull. I have also published pics (not the best quality) of what mine look like. Check it out on my blog….(https://lucienjuly.wordpress.com/media-players-devices)
I notice the mod M8 4.0.5 f/w for HD posted above is only 42700KB while the original size is 56472KB, does anyone tested if it can support HD audio, there are some mod version which does not support HD audio. i.e. DTS-HD and Tru DD.
I read a video wall guide just now and i read about this:
20) Press the “Menu” button for options
21) You now have the option to Remove, Lock or apply Genre Cover art to the Shortcut.
I don’t have the Lock option….
Maybe that’s why mede8er shows the same icons again and again and again?
But how come this:
I have a folder in the root of the HDD called videowall with your icons in this folder.
Then I go to the Videowall, I select for instance Actionmovies, I press the Menu button, the I press the folder icon for the genre icons and then all I see are the GlynRS2 icons? How can I find your icons?
It seems like the path to the genre icons is locked or something..
Geezzz… I feel so stupid not seeing this problem….
Let me understand – you select a movie folder (action) Add this to the videowall (add all folders to the videowall that you want to use) Then you go the videowall, press menu, and select the action icon?
Then I go to the videowall, press menu and I see the little screen with the trashcan and then i press the icon below the trashcan. Then I see all the different genre icons but unfortunately not your icons but the GlynRS2 icons.
Now that is weird….will check and see if there is a different way of setting up your videowall.
Try deleting all icons you have in your videowall folder, and maybe even restart the player after you have added only the icons in the videowall folder
I only restarted my player after I copied the icons to the videowall folder.] Are you able to send me a screendump of your root as well as the icons in the video wall?
Should also be able to access the player via web (if yours is on the network)?
BTW, are the movies on the local drive, USB or network drive?
I use thumbgen for all my movies….no XML or NFO files….when the files are viewed on a computer, the folder only contains the actual movie, and about folder (which gives you the write up, and info), and folder.jpg (which is a thumbnail of the movie)…nothing else
I finally solved the problem with those genre icons…
Today I copied your icons to a folder called Videowall on a small SD-card. And now it all works!
I can finally choose your icons!
Thanks for your efforts and patience with this dumb user

The size is smaller beacuse the original font (which is 22 MB!!! and nobody knows why this big) is replaced with normal windows arial which is around 400 KB. HD audio support depends on the chip revision – DD does not support hd audio, DD+ supports hd audio.
I have a PlayonHD with the 1073DD C+. I tried both firmware versions and neither flashed. After holding the power button to safe flash it showed a “Mede8er doesn’t support this hardare” type of message. Since im on the original PlayonHD, not the HD 2, im assuming the DD+ is not the same as a DD C+? And there’s no Mede8er firmware unlocked for me?
Im assuming I cant just just use Mede8er 500x or 500×2 firmware unless someone unlocks it somehow?
THANK you for helping us and providing ongoing support. Many thanks for your response. And let me know how I can help you, click on adverts somewhere or something.
I also have the original playon (not HD 2). I updated mine to the mede8er firmware from the playon Gui 2.0 Beta (I see there is new firmware for our models available, but have not bothered since I have the mede8er firmware). The 2 versions is HD and no HD…. I installed the HD version….and it has been working since.
Just wanted to say after dealing with the slowness and freezes on my POHD with the latest firmware I went ahead and installed the Mede8er firmware and what a difference it made!!!
Its way faster, cleaner interface and I love the video wall…just wish there were going to be more new improved firmware as the last one for the 500x released on Nov 30 2011.
I could not agree more Ralph. Seems that we will have to go without YouTube and the other functionality that is available with the AC Ryan firmware (or the new mede8er 500×2) has to offer though.
Okay, I feel really clumsy to be the next one asking, but when I click the links for the firmware on your blogroll I just get a dropbox error that the page can’t be found.
I suppose I’m doing something wrong, but can’t find out what.
And if I understand this topic correctly the firmware is suitable for the Playon mini as well?
Hi Lucien,
I’ve the same problems than many other people: Your dropbox links are not working. I ‘m want to try out the firmware on my playonhd. Would be nice to get it working with the firmware from mede8er.
Thx
So “Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF” is the latest and the one I should use, right? I’ve only spdif and no HDMI audio..
I have yet to post the latest firmware version (the final for the mede8er). A previous post also has links to the new firmware…will advise and remove the old links as soon as I can…
I followed ermak’s step and installed both. It works. But bootloader logo was changed to ICONBIT and the firmware doesn’t support Asian font or unicode fonts. Like chinese/japanese/korean
Seems to not be supporting SAMBA or display network drive from my default workgroup, WORKGROUP. Can’t access \\device name/ip
0202.1026L + Iconbit HDS6L v7.3.41 r4673 – 01.12.2010
Mede8er 4.0.5 HD Audio (@dzver fix) – for Iconbit HDS6L
Hi Lucien,
I’ve the same problems than many other people: Your dropbox links are not working. I ‘m want to try out the firmware on my playonhd. Would be nice to get it working with the firmware from mede8er.
Thx
You need to follow the steps as indicated on the documents – as mentioned, I have not done this myself as yet (time), but other bloggers have installed theirs successfully.
It’s the same with me. Has anybody tried this Final Mede8er F/W for Playon!HD and tell me if it’s working ? I also can’t figure it out how to make it working without installing the iconbit’s bootloader. Anybody, please ? thank you
Lucien, kan ik ook ergens een Nederlandse handleiding vinden voor het installeren van de mede8er firmware op de playonhd 73100.
Ik ben deze firmware zat en wil graag mede8er firmware gaan draaien met Nederlandse taal.
Is dat er te vinden…??
the version MED500X_V4_NO_HD_AUDIO_25Jan2011 doesn’t work. I’ve tried it but i could install the firmware. Can you sent me a link were I can download the working file? You are my last hope! ik hate the playon firmware. I’m looking for the version without hd (i’m using spdif raw). Please please help me! Sorry for my bad english.
Can you send me a link to the original ACryan 73200 bootloader. I want to go back to the original firmware instead of the Mede8er 4.0.5 . Thanks very much
Hi, this firmware link doesn’t work anymore… Does anyone have this firmware please? I’ve just bought the POHD1 and it’s got v.v.v old firmware and has audio issues on playback.
Cant find this anywhere!! Help very much appreciated
Will check links and revert – in the interim, send me your email adr and I will upload the links to dropshots (or something like that) – links are currently on dropbox (and cannot access from the office).
Pleasure. I too am dissapointed…could not get the final f/w working. Have not given up though. Work taking up most of my time. Will post results as soon as I manage to resolve this, unless a genuis out there can do so…
hi i wonder of you can point me in the right direction. i have AC ryan , ACR-PV73500 Playon!HD Essential. will the me8er firmware work on this model. i am running current ac ryan firmware v5.4.4.r2688 with bootloader 0000.0501.0013 . i tried using the download links to see if it works but not working
I have the same model and used Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF to update mine. I have since tried the latest AC Ryan, and have reverted back to the mede8er f/w. Just not the same
I have an AC Ryan Playon HD (PV73100). I changed the firmware to the one you made, to make it look like a Mede8er. It is running just fine, but I have often blank screens, and the system hangs for a while, and start rebooting.
I like to go back to the original firmware of AC Ryan, but this seems to be not possible. I get a message telling me the firmware I’m trying to flash only works on a AC Ryan PlayonHD. Seems like the bootloader is changed, so I can’t go back to the original.
Can you help me with this, to change my firmware back to AC Ryan?
Download the latest AC Ryan firmware, or trying using this one (Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF). I have been using for the last few years now and am still very happy
My Sincere apologies for the tardy response. Studying keeping me busy. I have since update the link (using 4 Shared – DB deleted due to heavy traffic).
I have been running this mediator firmware for quite some time now but I am having issues with the unit freezing right after starting a video if I let the thing time out and reboot itself then sometimes the same video will then play fine, sometimes it needs 3 or 4 reboots. It’s driving me nuts can anyone please tell me how to downgrade the firmware back to Original AC Ryan because both of the usual methods keep telling me the firmware is not compatible with this hardware, and yes I am using the right version. I have the iconbit loader installed
Where did you find the modded Mede8er Firmware for the Ac Ryan.
I have a PlayonHD Mini and i want to change the crappy Gui2 beta FW to a newer one than the old stable AcRyan FW.
please email me,
thanx
i have a pvr76120 unfurtunaley the usbportstwin are screwed malfunction the other usb port works pc ryan connection is there any other way to install upgrade firmware like thru lan etc etc or where can i get this spare usb to replace anyone knows send me a mail 76120@incasso.cjb.net
Since I have not recieved an answer in 2 years and I still have a unit I can’t really use i’ll post it again:

Hi Testicle (now this sounds weird…LOL) –
fast and responsive! It’s definitely not as pretty as the new GUI from AC Ryan but at least it not riddled with bugs.
Be sure to use the safe flashing method if you attempt this:
•Copy install.img to the root directory of a USB flash drive and connect it to any USB host port of the Playon!HD.
•Switch off the main power to the unit.
•Press and hold on to the power button on the front panel of the unit.
•Switch on the main power.
•Release the power button when the firmware update starts flashing on your display in a moment and will automatically reboot when update is completed.
**Do not power off the unit during the flashing process!**
Note: You can’t go from v7.4.x on the playon to this mede8er firmware, v7.4.x has a different bootloader. If your playon is on v7.4.x then downgrade to v7.3.x (http://www.acryan.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=10197) before installing the mede8er firmware.
AFAIK this will void your warranty so do it at your own risk. Most problems can be fixed by flashing back to the playon firmware anyway. I’m just using this until AC Ryan releases a fixed version of their firmware with the new GUI.

Thank you !!
This firmware works for PlayON HD or the PlayON HD Mini?
BTW, all links to the firmware or the firmware source thread is dead.
Apologies for late response – I am uploading files and will inbox you the link
firmware in question is puerely for the HD….will check if there is anything availble for the mini/essentail (which should be either the 200/300 mede8er equivalent)
Those link are not working, they’re shortened somehow
Sent you an email…let me know if you are still unable to download and i will upload to my site
Uploading the files – will inbox you the link
Can you please put valid links to the FW here? Or is it possible to give me the correct links?
Hi Lucien,
Tried to install the firmware several times but PLAYON says: “install error” “no space for yaffs2 image” any idea how to solve this.
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Wiep.
Hi Wiep,
What model Playon do you have?
Dear Lucien,
My player is a ACR-PV73100
Thanks for your help in advance.
Greetings Wiep.
Hi Wiep,
Apologies for the tardy response – studies have been taking up most of my time.
same model as mine. ensure that you have the last release by ac ryan installed, or for good measure, install the gui 2.0 beta, then the mede8er firmware
Dear Lucien,

Could you send me the link for the mede8er firmware for my playon hd?
Hey Patrick,
Please expect an email from dropsend. Will be uploading to dropbox soon and will publish link here pretty soon.

Lucien
Hi Lucien,
Thanks for your answer, but my playonhd doesn’t accept this firmware, what can I try to succeed?
Hi Giove,
I assume that your playon!hd is the very first one that was released by AC Ryan, which is the exact same as the Mede8er 500x. If this is the case, I trust you followed the update procedure that mede8er recommends…power off deivce, power on and hold the power button for a few seconds?
If you the above is correct, then it should work without a glitch.
YOur Playon must also have the latest ac ryan firmware….I was on the Gui.20 beta when I updated mine.
Hi Lucien,
Could you send me the link for the mede8er firmware for my playon hd?

Thnx M8
I had the gui 2.0 beta running on my playon….and had no problems with the mede8er firmware installation
hmn, cant get it to install
OFF wih the power in with the usb, hold power bottun while connecting the power, but nothing happens ?
Ive even downgraded to version Firmware_PV73100_v7.3.4.r4824_European
And the firmware i got from u is:

is there anything u can think of im doing wrong… except my spelling 😉
Can’t say for sure. as previously mentioned, i had the beta gui 2.0 installed.
must admin infirst tried the normal ac ryan upgrade procedure where i ran the update via the system and this failed. i then tried the mede8er normal procedure of using the button and this worked first time, although it took a little a longer than expected.
Lucien

Sorry to hear that…
Hello,
I’ve been reading your thread and wondering if you have V4 r5249 or Playon!HD MED500X_V4_INC_HD_AUDIO_25Jan2011
I tried V4.04 r5319 and it consistently hangs after powering on and playing the
first video.
I have the Patriot Box Office as well and it hangs the same way as playonhd hd1.
I was able to find r5249 for PBO and it seems to not have the poweron first video
play hang.
Hi,
Check out my blogroll on https://lucienjuly.wordpress.com/ for links to the firmware…same firmware I have installed and no issues thus far. I had updated my AC Ryan to the GUI 2.0 beta, and becuase of the terrible speed, upgraded direclty to the mede8er firmware and have not looked back
I need Mede8er firmware for ACR-PV73100 Playon!HD because ACRyan’s last firmware is full of bugs. I’m so disappointed of this product and the support of ACRyan stuff. Please send me the right Mede8er firmware for ACR-PV73100 Playon!HD. My email: individix@yahoo.com
Thank you Lucien.
Kind regards,
Hi,
Check out my blogroll on https://lucienjuly.wordpress.com/ for links to the firmware
Which one is for ACR-PV73100 Playon!HD???
These are only for the 73100. I had installed the gui 2.0 beta, and due to slow network performance, and sluggish in general, I immediately upgraded using the mede8er f/w. Still running to date (it is the latest me8er f/w available todate).
Doesn’t WORK!!!
Are you sure about what to do? It says that This Mede8er firmware will not work on this hardware…
So, tell me what you suggest…
Is this a joke or what?
No Joke. I recently re-installed using the same firmware, and is still working. Will gladly take pics and post here as well. Are you upgrading from gui 2.0?
Look, my mediaplayer is ACR-PV73100 Playon!HD. It isn’t MINI one. I’m not upgrading from GUI2.0, i’m upgrading from Firmware v7.3.3.r4824 – European Edition v7.3.4.r4824. So tell me where’s the problem? Can you please give me the exact Mede8er firmware for my mediaplayer that will work on it or you are just guessing? Remember, my mediaplayer isn’t MINI one. Waiting your reply please.
DONE!!! 🙂 Working JUST AMAZING!!!
Thank you mate!!! You’re number ONE!!!
Thank you!!! This is the real firmware for this media player!!! Is FAST as HELL!!! Good JOB!!! Thank you!!!
care to share which one then?
Hey Anthony,
Does not matter – depends on your requirements re Audio….both the same same except for Audio output (One version support HD Output and other does not)
Happy to hear you got it working. Now, if you want to setup your video wall
…
Have a look at mine – I had to customise my pictures the video wall uses (they are just plain crap – excuse my french). Very easy….and apologies for the poor quality of the pics – used my mobile – too lazy to get my camera at 3 in the morning. (https://www.dropbox.com/link/17.jr7YOu_xQP?k=666c5d15c9108936fddedb6f34a438d7)
@Lucien: Plz can you post a direct link to the med8er NoHD firmware… The links on your blog are not working. Thanks
Sorry the links are fine. I think it was a temporary issue with the site. Thanks
I’m Not getting it…
I’ve tried it by installing an earlyer firmware from Acryan.
Still the warning that this firmware is not for this hardware.
Send your firmware please!
I had installed the Beta 2.0 Gui from AC Ryan…then upgraded from there – did not bother downgrading….and it worked first time.
Thanks Lucien,
All is working fine now that did not worked well with then latest ACRyan firmware. NAS works again and is stable, Wireless is working again… Man.. you made me happy with this suggestion!!
I have installed the “Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF 0” version from your blog. This version is made in March this year. Is the latest version to install or do I need to search for a newer / later version at Mede8er site? Please let me know or let us know where we can find. Man… Thanks again for you super suggestions !!
Best regards,
Manus
Hi Manus,
Glad to hear all is good.
Now for the bad news…seems the Mede8er is not doing any further development re updates for the their 500x Models (which is the same firmware that we are using on our AC RYAN models). I will keep an eye out and post any updates. They are doing quite a bit for their newer models (500×2, which is brilliant – 3TB HDD support, wireless keyboard, awesome GUI, etc.).
meder8er just release a new firmware for 400x-500x
http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,7307.0.html
anyone has the mod version for ac ryan box?
Keel…will look into this and also find out if someone has already modified the mede8er firmware for the Playon…if anyone gets hold of the firmware please let me know as well.
Just had a look at the link you provided….seems to be quite a mission. Not as straightforward as installation I have (which is the same for both the mede8er and AC Ryan). Think I will wait a little while before I attempt anything…my mate (who has a 500x) will give this a bash, and I will take it form there.
If there any guys who do attempt the upgrade…please drop us a mail.
1st you need this:
0202.1026L + Iconbit HDS6L v7.3.41 r4673 – 01.12.2010
http://www.mediafire.com/?j8q7equz5x095y7
This change bootloader and loading picture to Iconbit.
After this you can install Mede8er 4.0.5:
Mede8er 4.0.5 HD Audio (@dzver fix) – for Iconbit HDS6L
http://www.mediafire.com/?1d6rimofyn6yjuu
Mede8er 4.0.5 NO HD Audio (@dzver fix) – for Iconbit HDS6L
http://www.mediafire.com/?a9kdoiyxoik3v2o
I test this on AC Ryan player and work fine.

Hey Lucien,
I have a acryanhd 7300 and I use the mede8ter firmware. It’s all good but I have one little problem. I cannot seem to choose a Genre-icon for my folders in the Videowall. I have folder in the root of the HDD named Videowall. After I selected the folders for the Videowall I want to choose a picture for the specific folder, like Action, Drama, Comedy etc. I go to the Videowall and choose Action, then I press the Menu button and then I see the little icon where I can choose pictures for the folders. But when I choose this I get an empty little screen, so no genre icons..
Do I miss something? Don’t know what I do wrong..
Hope you have the answer,
Thanks in advance!
Jos
Hey Jos,
Everything you have done so far is correct. Can you confirm the size of your icons.
Should not be bigger than 159 x 229
The sizes are 156X233. I guess they’re too big right?
Kinda strange because I did not resize the icons to a bigger size.
I solved the problem in a pretty strange way (if you ask me)…
I renamed the folder Videowall to Videowal (a L less)
I admit that English is not my native language but Videowall is definitely with a double ‘l’ right? haha!
Anyway, this way I can choose some standard icons but not all of them..
Interesting….mine is labelled video wall….and I am using my own customized icons. The size you mentioned is fine. The mede8er icons are rather dull. I have also published pics (not the best quality) of what mine look like. Check it out on my blog….(https://lucienjuly.wordpress.com/media-players-devices)
Kind Regards,
Lucien July 079 887 0487
I notice the mod M8 4.0.5 f/w for HD posted above is only 42700KB while the original size is 56472KB, does anyone tested if it can support HD audio, there are some mod version which does not support HD audio. i.e. DTS-HD and Tru DD.
Maybe @matthijs can comment
Hey Lucien,
Can you tell me what folder mede8er uses where I choose the icons for the Genres?
My folder structure of Videowall is like this:
Videowall
– Diamond
– Empty Cases
– Genre
– GlynRS2 icons
– GlynRS2 icons 2
– Mede8er Case
– Mede8er Clear Case
– Mede8er icons
– Photoshop templates
Whatever I try and whatever I change, I still get the same dull meddler genre icons…
What can I do to use your Videowall icons? How do I set up the folder structure on the internal HDD of the ACRyan?
Maybe this is a really dumb question but I can’t managed to sort this out…
And ehm… Thanks for the cool Genre icons!
Jos
Hi Jos,
Your icons/images must be in the root of the videowall – not in folders….
Hi Lucien,
They are.. \HDD\videowall
I read a video wall guide just now and i read about this:
20) Press the “Menu” button for options
21) You now have the option to Remove, Lock or apply Genre Cover art to the Shortcut.
I don’t have the Lock option….
Maybe that’s why mede8er shows the same icons again and again and again?
regards,
Jos
The lock option is to be able to lock your movie folders – if this is not setup (settings), then it will not be available on the menu button.
Thanks, I see that now…
But how come this:
I have a folder in the root of the HDD called videowall with your icons in this folder.
Then I go to the Videowall, I select for instance Actionmovies, I press the Menu button, the I press the folder icon for the genre icons and then all I see are the GlynRS2 icons? How can I find your icons?
It seems like the path to the genre icons is locked or something..
Geezzz… I feel so stupid not seeing this problem….
Hope you can help me out with this…
Jos
Hhhmmm…interesting….
Let me understand – you select a movie folder (action) Add this to the videowall (add all folders to the videowall that you want to use) Then you go the videowall, press menu, and select the action icon?
Is this correct?
Yes with a little add:
Then I go to the videowall, press menu and I see the little screen with the trashcan and then i press the icon below the trashcan. Then I see all the different genre icons but unfortunately not your icons but the GlynRS2 icons.
Now that is weird….will check and see if there is a different way of setting up your videowall.
Try deleting all icons you have in your videowall folder, and maybe even restart the player after you have added only the icons in the videowall folder
I already did this. I only have your icons in the videowall folder.
It seems like the player saves the settings somewhere in a file?
Is resetting the player and reinstall the firmware an option?
Not at all….
I only restarted my player after I copied the icons to the videowall folder.] Are you able to send me a screendump of your root as well as the icons in the video wall?
Should also be able to access the player via web (if yours is on the network)?
BTW, are the movies on the local drive, USB or network drive?
I will try to make some screen dumps.
By the way… thank you for all your help! It’s amazing.. thanks
Always a pleasure…
Your movies – located on a network drive/NAS or all local?
My movies are on the local HDD of the ASRyan
Now this is weird – I have mine on a NAS, local and USB, and they all work 100%. Will check your screen shots and revert
I sent u a mail through dropbox
Will revert soonest – just popping out to a meeting…
Okay, thanks. Hear from you later..
Can this all also have to do with the Yadis program I use?
Not familiar wit the yadis program. Can you give me some detail on this please?
Kind Regards,
Lucien
It’s a program to create synopsis info. When you search for it on google you’ll find it.
What program do you use to create synopsis?
I use thumbgen for all my movies….no XML or NFO files….when the files are viewed on a computer, the folder only contains the actual movie, and about folder (which gives you the write up, and info), and folder.jpg (which is a thumbnail of the movie)…nothing else
Also make sure scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen.
Kind Regards,
Lucien
Where exactly you want me to scroll down?
My Apologies Jos…Hectic this side and a public Holiday today.
Scroll down to last icon…the new ones should be at the bottom
hoe krijg ik de video wall aan de gang weet iemand dat ????????
Volg die stappe en dit behoort te werk
http://www.mede8er.com/mede8er_video_wall_user_guide.html
As jy jou icons gaan gebruik, maak net seker dat die groot van die icons is not groter as 159 x 231 is nie.
As jy jou icons gaan gebruik, maak net seker dat die groot van die icons is nie groter as 159 x 231 is nie.
Hey Lucien,
I finally solved the problem with those genre icons…
Today I copied your icons to a folder called Videowall on a small SD-card. And now it all works!
I can finally choose your icons!
Thanks for your efforts and patience with this dumb user
Have a great weekend!
Jos

The size is smaller beacuse the original font (which is 22 MB!!! and nobody knows why this big) is replaced with normal windows arial which is around 400 KB. HD audio support depends on the chip revision – DD does not support hd audio, DD+ supports hd audio.
Question
I have a PlayonHD with the 1073DD C+. I tried both firmware versions and neither flashed. After holding the power button to safe flash it showed a “Mede8er doesn’t support this hardare” type of message. Since im on the original PlayonHD, not the HD 2, im assuming the DD+ is not the same as a DD C+? And there’s no Mede8er firmware unlocked for me?
Im assuming I cant just just use Mede8er 500x or 500×2 firmware unless someone unlocks it somehow?
THANK you for helping us and providing ongoing support. Many thanks for your response. And let me know how I can help you, click on adverts somewhere or something.
Thanks Dzver, btw, I have the Playon v1 C+ unit and now i suspect the font file size could be due to east asia language support. 🙂
and yes…I used the firmwares from your blogroll. You have two version and two links to each version. I tried 3 out of the 4 of your install.img’s.
I also have the original playon (not HD 2). I updated mine to the mede8er firmware from the playon Gui 2.0 Beta (I see there is new firmware for our models available, but have not bothered since I have the mede8er firmware). The 2 versions is HD and no HD…. I installed the HD version….and it has been working since.
I will try flashing from the beta GUI 2.0. and any other 2.0 GUI releases if that doesnt work. My flash attempt was from ACR-PV73100 v7.3.x.r4824.
Did you manage to resolve your issue? Just flashed a mates’s HD and it is working like a charm
Hi Can I install this firmware on playon!HD mini?
Regards Rafal
Just wanted to say after dealing with the slowness and freezes on my POHD with the latest firmware I went ahead and installed the Mede8er firmware and what a difference it made!!!
Its way faster, cleaner interface and I love the video wall…just wish there were going to be more new improved firmware as the last one for the 500x released on Nov 30 2011.
I could not agree more Ralph. Seems that we will have to go without YouTube and the other functionality that is available with the AC Ryan firmware (or the new mede8er 500×2) has to offer though.
Okay, I feel really clumsy to be the next one asking, but when I click the links for the firmware on your blogroll I just get a dropbox error that the page can’t be found.
I suppose I’m doing something wrong, but can’t find out what.
And if I understand this topic correctly the firmware is suitable for the Playon mini as well?
Hi Loek,
I will check and revert re the links (apologies for the tardy reply).
No, this f/w is only for the full HD 1 (not 2)
No problem for the late reply.
If its only for the full HD it isn’t suitable for me.
Wanted to try the mede8tor because subtitle isn’t working when connecting wireless…guess I just have to use USB. Thanks anyways
Hi Lucien,
I’ve the same problems than many other people: Your dropbox links are not working. I ‘m want to try out the firmware on my playonhd. Would be nice to get it working with the firmware from mede8er.
Thx
Will have a look and sort it out ASAP
Sent from my iPad
Hi,
All links restored. Apologies for the inconvenience. Will be uploading the last firmware update for the mede8er (AC RYAN) as well
Links restored. Apologies
So “Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF” is the latest and the one I should use, right? I’ve only spdif and no HDMI audio..
Hi,
I have yet to post the latest firmware version (the final for the mede8er). A previous post also has links to the new firmware…will advise and remove the old links as soon as I can…
I followed ermak’s step and installed both. It works. But bootloader logo was changed to ICONBIT and the firmware doesn’t support Asian font or unicode fonts. Like chinese/japanese/korean
Seems to not be supporting SAMBA or display network drive from my default workgroup, WORKGROUP. Can’t access \\device name/ip
0202.1026L + Iconbit HDS6L v7.3.41 r4673 – 01.12.2010
Mede8er 4.0.5 HD Audio (@dzver fix) – for Iconbit HDS6L
Is there a fix to it?
There is no fix unless the dzver can help to create a mod version with original font file with 22Mb.
Hi Lucien,
I want to download the latest firmware,but your link is not working.
Can you send me a email with the correct link ?
Hi Lucien,

Can you sen me an email of the link.
I can’t find it on your site
Look under my blogroll
Hi Lucien,
I downloaded your Final Mede8er F/W for Playon!HD, but it’s not working. I compared it with official release, both files are identical.
You need to follow the steps as indicated on the documents – as mentioned, I have not done this myself as yet (time), but other bloggers have installed theirs successfully.
Hi Lucien,
Which doc are you referring to ? I don’t see any doc about it in your .zip file.
Definitely included, but here goes anyway.
what’s the name of the document file ? i only saw med500x.docx
It’s the same with me. Has anybody tried this Final Mede8er F/W for Playon!HD and tell me if it’s working ? I also can’t figure it out how to make it working without installing the iconbit’s bootloader. Anybody, please ? thank you
Lucien, kan ik ook ergens een Nederlandse handleiding vinden voor het installeren van de mede8er firmware op de playonhd 73100.
Ik ben deze firmware zat en wil graag mede8er firmware gaan draaien met Nederlandse taal.
Is dat er te vinden…??
the link to the ACRyan bootloader is not valid anymore. can someone pls provide an alternate link? or email the file to mrverdi2k@gmail.com
Will update and post links as soon as I am officially online again…

Just checked and links are all valid
hello Lucien,
the version MED500X_V4_NO_HD_AUDIO_25Jan2011 doesn’t work. I’ve tried it but i could install the firmware. Can you sent me a link were I can download the working file? You are my last hope! ik hate the playon firmware. I’m looking for the version without hd (i’m using spdif raw). Please please help me! Sorry for my bad english.
Try Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF. I had a similar issue when updating a mate’s player recently and it worked for me
Hello Lucien,
Can you send me a link to the original ACryan 73200 bootloader. I want to go back to the original firmware instead of the Mede8er 4.0.5 . Thanks very much
I would suggest downloading from http://www.acryan.com/support/ACR-PV73100/…ensuring you get the latest software directly from the supplier
Hi, this firmware link doesn’t work anymore… Does anyone have this firmware please? I’ve just bought the POHD1 and it’s got v.v.v old firmware and has audio issues on playback.
Cant find this anywhere!! Help very much appreciated
Will check links and revert – in the interim, send me your email adr and I will upload the links to dropshots (or something like that) – links are currently on dropbox (and cannot access from the office).
Regards,
Lucien
I am regular visitor, how are you everybody?
This paragraph posted at this web site is actually nice.
Hi Lucien,
Is ther a way you can send me the working link for the firmware? All the links above are not working.
Thanks.
Great site/blog!
I found it on your site!
And it works too.
only the final f/w does not work. but allready its much much faster than the ac ryan crappy fw.
Thanks…
Pleasure. I too am dissapointed…could not get the final f/w working. Have not given up though. Work taking up most of my time. Will post results as soon as I manage to resolve this, unless a genuis out there can do so…
hi i wonder of you can point me in the right direction. i have AC ryan , ACR-PV73500 Playon!HD Essential. will the me8er firmware work on this model. i am running current ac ryan firmware v5.4.4.r2688 with bootloader 0000.0501.0013 . i tried using the download links to see if it works but not working
Hi,
Unfortunately I do not have firmware available for the Essential. 😦
I have the same model and used Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF to update mine. I have since tried the latest AC Ryan, and have reverted back to the mede8er f/w. Just not the same
can you please send me firmware for playon hd 1
thanks
Please check my blogroll – I have added new links
Hi like to ask you how to flash back AC Rayon original firmware?thanks for your help.
The procedure to flash the media player is the same for both. Restart with F/W on root of USB device (that will be the image file).
Hey,
I have an AC Ryan Playon HD (PV73100). I changed the firmware to the one you made, to make it look like a Mede8er. It is running just fine, but I have often blank screens, and the system hangs for a while, and start rebooting.
I like to go back to the original firmware of AC Ryan, but this seems to be not possible. I get a message telling me the firmware I’m trying to flash only works on a AC Ryan PlayonHD. Seems like the bootloader is changed, so I can’t go back to the original.
Can you help me with this, to change my firmware back to AC Ryan?
Thanx for your help.

I have been running this mediator firmware for quite some time now but I am having issues with the unit freezing right after starting a video if I let the thing time out and reboot itself then sometimes the same video will then play fine, sometimes it needs 3 or 4 reboots. It’s driving me nuts can anyone please tell me how to downgrade the firmware back to Original AC Ryan because both of the usual methods keep telling me the firmware is not compatible with this hardware, and yes I am using the right version. I have the iconbit loader installed
Where did you find the modded Mede8er Firmware for the Ac Ryan.
I have a PlayonHD Mini and i want to change the crappy Gui2 beta FW to a newer one than the old stable AcRyan FW.
please email me,

Got lucky I guess. Nothing for the mini I am afraid.

One with the PV73100 7.4.4.r8755 firmware
And one with an original PV73100 bootloader.
First flash the bootloader.
Flash the firmware.
Good luck !!
