Kindly take note of the known issues.
This firmware has a few bugs which is why it wasn't released in the first place, however due to the growing demand for an interim solution for the unformatted internal HDD issue it was decided to release this to the public.
If it doesn't work for you then rather roll back to your previous version.

Unless you have a demand for a solution to the internal HDD missing the Linux partitions issue then rather stay on the firmware you have and hold off for version 3.

Only problem i'm having is no video plays off
internal hard drive
. I get the sound and I can
see the video preview..but when I push play
all I get is sound. --- very weird

Other two external hard drives play both audio
and video just fine.

EDIT:   LOTS of testing to be done here. Getting all kinds
of stuff going on now. Allot's due to vid settings.


Please verify your video settings in setup and put it on a fixed setting, don't use hdmi auto.
Take care of the release notes and follow instructions.
Use FW recovery mode to install it, and be sure to unplug power after install is finished before use.
Check all settings after boot up and set them again manually, don't use config restore function.

This FW is working fine for me...

regards,

Hi,
Thanks for a great product.
My question:
My mede8er, which i just bought has version 1.2.1 firmware.
I have yet to format my hard drive.
Is it better to format with version 2.1.0 (latest) or 1.2.1 ?

Thanks

You can format with either version - please note the known issue that the format option will show HDD1 and HDD2 - you can realistically only format HDD1 - the internal drive.

Kindly note the installation instructions point by point - in particular use emergency install rather than install via GUI.

I suspect that you have rolled back to a 1.x firmware version - be absolutely sure that you have installed 2.0.2.
Always use emergency installation then pull and replug power.
