I have been running the latest mede8er firmware on my Playon!HD (1) for over 2 months now, and I must say it is a breeze (speed) compared to running the Gui 2.0 Beta of AC Ryan. Seems AC Ryan have posted a new version for the HD….think I will give it a bash this weekend and see if it is better than the mede8er firmware…will let you know how goes it.
In the meantime, if anyone is interested in the mede8er firmware for the playon!hd, drop me a message and I will send you the link….will post as soon as I have uploaded….
PLEASE NOTE: DONE AT OWN RISK…..follow instructions and it is a breeze.

Lucien's House 
Hi,
I’m interested ! Since the new gui (like a lot of people) I have problems with my network speed on the playonHD.
The only alternative at the moment is downloading the firmware to an older version or use an alternative.
Hey,
Have you tried the latest version availble for the HD? If this is just as slow as the GUI 2.0 Beta, then I will give it a miss – please let me know.
In the meantime, you can grab the files here
I have to say that the New GUI has made my POHD nearly unbearable. It now hangs about once every 3-4 days, and is Very very slow. I cannot compare it to the Beta as I did not run the beta, but I can confirm that while I thought the GUI was slow before 2.0, I now wish for those days, as they are much faster than the new GUI.
Thanx for the heads-up Amraam….this saves me form having to give it a bash…
Hi Lucien,
Can I also try the Mede8ter firmware on my POHD?
Thanks in advance!
Hey Marc,
I am using the Mede8er firmware on my POHD. (Note that this is the Playon!HD 1, and not POHD 2.
Great, I also have a POHD1.
I’ve tried to grab it from your Dropbox link, but that’s no longer valid…
Weird one….I accessed my blog from another computer and could download the files.

hi lucien…i’m downloading the mede8er firmware from ur blog link..is it install.tar? how to install to my ac ryan pohd? is it the same way like official firmware install?
100%. All stock standard. No funnies….and works like a charm
Hello Lucien,
Can i have also that download link? I wanna try the move to this Mede8er Firmware also. AcRyan is soooo not responsive to the presented bug list…
Hi Manus,
Please check my blogroll for the links to the software.
hai Lucien,
thnx for sharing this with us!
question: i can’t find Youtube in the menu and can i update it now with the new version on the Mede8er website ?? and wich version would that be??
thnx!
That is the bummer with the mede8er f/w. I hope the new version has You Tube…
Has anyone tried the latest version of AC Ryan? Thinking of giving it a bash before I try the latest mede8er f/w
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.
More information here:

To Ermak.
Will give this a bash and post results soon.
If anyone out there has completed their upgrade, please post!
@ermak. is it possible to roll back and instal the original FW for the Playon HD. Now it is not possible. Message on the screen says this update will only work on AC Ryan Playon!HD Update will not continue.
@ermak,
works perfecly!!
thanx!
now i’m still searching to get Youtube on this f/w!
any ideas??
My mate who has a mede8er confirmed that it does not have YouTube…either you go revert to the ac ryan firmware or buy the new mede8er (500×2)….
Is it possible to create a version of the mod Mede8er FW made by shizzl for the Playon? Would be great.
Hi!
I tried to get this to work on both the 3582 and the 4824 firmware, but without any luck… I then followed ermak’s instructions by first flashing the iconbit bootloader, and then the mede8er firmware. This worked like a charm, but is quite unstable, and does not seem to be handling all the codecs as good as the original PlayOn!HD firmware did!
Now trying to get the original firmware back, I just get the “SORRY! This update is for AC Ryan PlayOn!HD. Aborting flashing.” (or something…) Any ideas, please…?!
I recently flashed my mate’s playon!hd and used Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF Med V4.0.4 r5315 for AC Ryan SPDIF 0….it worked first time (although I did upgrade him to the acryan beta 2.0 first)
Yes, I do believe the best thing must be to upgrade to one of the newest AC FW first. Might be something with the different versions of the SDK.
Hi, I had the same problem. Google for bootloader PlayonHD. You will find a version that will set back the original bootloader. I run the Mede8er mod FW from shizzle and works great.
Having tried a lot of different ways to get rid of the iconbit boot loader, I ended up with the box freezing at the booting process. I had to install the PBO patched FW to get it working again, but then of course the remote didn’t work, so don’t wanting to reprogram my Logitech remote, I now got the Mede8er FW installed again.
Beeing disappointed with this the first time, I am going to look for the sizzle version (AC FW now believe I have a m8r box, so no way back anyway). 😀
Thanks for the help, guys!
If you leave your address< I can send you some FW that should work for you and solve your problem.
That would be cool, and so nice of you! Just tried the shizzle mod3, but now it claims I need the mede8er box, and the AC fw says I don’t have that either…! 😀 Stuck in some Mediabox twilight zone her. :p
I just wanted a nice, functional, fast and stable GUI…
I’ve created this e-mail which forwards to my main one (don’t like leaving it around on the web).
Thanks, m8!
Download bootloader AC Ryan here
test
Don’t know how to send you FW. I need email address
Oh, sorry. Didn’t write the e-mail adress! 😀 traptemper@gmail.com
Hi Ron,
I’d like the mede8er FW for POHD mini too.
Can you send it to k.kiralina@gmail.com?
Thank you.
Hi guys, i looking the bootloader for POHDmini v1, the mine is bricked, and i cant find the TTL port on the mainboard, could help where i can take a look?
To my knowledge, there is no mede8er f/w for the mini
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?
i cant put any comments :S
Daniel, Ron post the fix, check it.
@Daniel, a few post back you can find the AC Ryan bootloader.
Hi There i currently use the Playon HD Essential with Firmware v5.4.4.r2688 – European Edition
is the mede8er software compatible as i heard the mede8er interface is much better than the ac ryan. could you please let me know and if possible supply me with the link for downloading the mede8er software.
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
Does anyone know if it is possible to run Mede8er firmware on any realtek 1073DD based Media player?

Thanks
of course you can
Already on Mede8ter firmware. How to go back to POHD ? kokwahho@gmail.com. email me please.

Hi,
I assumed this worked then? why would you want to go back?
Following the same process, download the latest firmware for your Media Player and you should be fine
coz on the Mede8ter firmware some Chinese tittle name cannot be display. anyway to add Chinese fonts support into it?
by the way, any idea android firmware to be loaded?
I am running the same frimware and have no issues with any titles.
Android firmware will only be available on the newer devices.
Ya . Have you try some Chinese file name? The file name not display correctly. It is like Windows not install Chinese fonts.
How to make a screen shot? You have email? I Email you the screen shot then you know..
