Popcorn Hour C-200

There's a new Popcorn Hour, and it's not working with PlayOn at all. I seem to have sorted out any other networking activity, works seemlessly within my network, except for PlayOn. I am currently using the 02-01-091007-19-POP-408 firmware with no luck.

I sent in a Support Request, but I'm already positive it is Popcorn Hour's fault, because during the same session I can still use PlayOn with the 360.

Re: Popcorn Hour C-200

You should probably also file a support ticket with the makers of the Popcorn Hour. We know for a fact that they have PlayOn in their test labs, so we're surprised to hear that their latest firmware may be incompatible with PlayOn.

Done, took me awhile to get around to it because I had to first register my device with serial number on their site. Finding a serial number on a device, man I really have to be in the mood to do that. I'll post any pertinent information back here if I learn something significant.

Re: Popcorn Hour C-200

The feedback I received from Popcorn Hour support was as follows:

"We already feedback to Mediamall to work on fix for it"

I translate that to mean they are getting feedback from Mediamall to find out what the problem is in order to fix it.

Re: Popcorn Hour C-200

Good luck getting these to work together to get official support for Playon to work on the PCH (any model).

I don't see this happing for a long time.

Re: Popcorn Hour C-200

I'm not even asking for complete compatibility, I just want PLAYBACK. C-200 won't play any of the videos, which is a problem I never had with the A-100. They already had that aspect working before, then they broke it and have not even attempted to address it with the latest beta releases. It is hopeless to ask for something so small and watch as it has been ignored for months. Just video playback, I don't care if the browsing is still goofy, it's an embarassment I feel. Well here is where I like to vent my "no PlayOn on PCH" frustrations since it's not really worth discussing over there anymore (nothing will happen).

Re: Popcorn Hour C-200

That is why I will not be buying another PCH any time soon. I am thinking of selling my A110 on eBay but I don't know yet. I may replace it with a htpc as much as I didn't want to go that route but at least I know it will work for what I need.
