5.2 Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1. Where is the Torrent Option in the Player?

Answer:

There is no Torrent option in the Playon!HD Mini 2. This is due to the lack of an inter-

nal HDD. This option is only available on models with an included HDD, except the

Playon!HD Essential.

Question 2. Why can’t I see my network workgroup and/or other PC’s on the net-

work?

Answer:

Make sure you have your player properly connected to your network and put the

right settings in the Setup menu under ‘Network’. Check if the player has a correct IP

address (e.g. 192.168.1.5). Also control your settings on the computer and eventually

disable your Windows / Router ﬁrewall, or set it up correctly to allow the player to

connect to your network. Alternatively you can setup a Shortcut (see 3.5.2.2).

Question 3. I want to use USB sticks and/or external USB HDD’s – how do I con-

nect and remove them properly?

Answer:

It is recommend to use only external USB HDD’s that have their own power supply!

Connect the USB HDD / stick to one of the USB Host Ports in the player and press

the power button to start the player. If you are done please use the ‘Eject’ button

on the remote control or alternatively the ‘Delete’ button on an attached keyboard,

to safely remove the USB drive before turning the player o! The ﬁle system on the

HDD’s or USB sticks might get corrupted when not using safe removal.

Question 4. My ﬁles have disappeared from the players USB devices.

Answer:

Make sure that you browse your ﬁles via the correct browser mode which means

correct ﬁltered views such as Photos, Music, or Movies.

Question 5. During power on, why does the TV have a short ﬂashing, blue screen

or screensaver?

Answer:

This is normal, when the system initializes, it will setup the corresponding parameters

so it can output the correct video signal to the TV, during the initializing time, the TV

will receive incorrect signals or the signals will not be stable and will cause the TV

screen to ﬂash, some TV’s will treat this as no signal, and will display a blue screen or

screensaver.
