Just updated to V1.2 and worked like a charm
Changes are good and one shortage it wil be nice in the file managment side that it provides you with information on how much Hard drive space is availlable on the internal and exsternal drives as it is a worry as you dont know how much space is availlable on drives..

There is a serious lag time on MP3 files especialy when you have a lot in a directory and can become a bit frustrating when you wana start and stop playing MP3's

When is the lag apparent,  what are you doing?

I havn't tried playing mp3 more than just checking of it works.  I'd like to see if I can replicate you issue.

[Jpapenfus]

Lag time takes 3 -4 for seconds when you wana start or stop play an MP3 i have tried it hundered times but it seems the problem does not go away. the same is not in the Movie folders but seem to thing it is a problem only in Mp3 and when entering the directory Mede8er in you GIU is using and indexing and when there is a lot of files it slows it down to a serious stand still.

Ok, I'll check this out and maybe we can start a but thread.

You are on 1.2 right.  How many mp3s do you call alot.  200, 500, 1000, 2000?

[Jpapenfus]

I have one directory which i have a 1000 mp3 in the best of the last 30 years. but have 150 gigs worth to dump onto the drive. my be there is a limitation on how many should be in a directory as it index and RAM onboard of 128mb to litttle too hande..

Check your Hard Drive free space as follows:
System Setup > System > System Info - look at the bottom for free space.

As far as the 'lag' is concerned, I am sure you can see reason that listing such a large number of files is going to take a performance hit for a tiny ARM processor - remember this is a media player and not a multi-core, 4-gig of ram PC. Even a modern PC will struggle with this.

IMHO the fact that these files happen to be MP3s has nothing to do with the issue, I think one needs to be realistic. Consider introducing a filing system for your music, per artist would be the easiest, then by album. I have listed some music applications in the software forum that you may want to consider.

Thank you for the feed back on mp3 on

Drive space info my drive which came with the Mede8er the drive space in availlable totals shows mut in Free sapece just says unknown and was the same problem with V.1.1

Yeah dude, I couldn't replicate this simply because I don't have that many mp3s in one directory.  I sort mine by artist and album.

Hi Joel,

Did you format the HDD within the Mede8er? One should realise more functionality if the HDD is formatted from the SETUP rather than format the drive using a PC - this may be one of those features.

Please provide your HDD make and model for investigation - the more details the better.

[Jpapenfus]

Hi there dont know the model of the HDD as it came pre installed with a 500GB hardrive from yourselves

[Insomniac]

By 'yourselves', are you referring to the Mede8er shop?

[Jpapenfus]

yea i bought it through Nashua but was preinstalled by Mede8er

[Insomniac]

I seem to think it would have been pre-installed by Nashua then, as the Mede8ers are not shipped with HDDs - these are installed by the re-sellers.

[Jpapenfus]

ahh the smuchs as my Carry case was aloso missing but have reported this to sales and will send me one.. Will move all data to spare drive and reformat the drive..

Tx for the support
