![]() ![]() ![]() I’ll probably be going there myself, as I’m about to try doing all this again, but with setting up the Apps on a USB Stick or external hard drive. What I would suggest is that you ask the good people on the AVS Forum. From what I’ve read on the AVS forum, it’s pretty easy to revert back to the original eGreat firmware, if you need to. I’m not sure just how easy it is to brick these eGreat devices, but they seem pretty robust to me. It may require setting up again, but this shouldn’t be an issue. The hard drive shouldn’t be an issue as the M31B has an internal hard drive. Here’s a link to the AVS Forum where zrbd talks about the Sigma 8635 Chipset. A good place to start is by checking out the thread on the AVS Forum and ask there, if you’re still uncertain. ![]() HOWEVER, a quick internet search tells me that the 32B uses the very same SMP8635 Chipset as the M34A & M31B, so I expect this trick should work on your machine. I’m not aware of anyone who has used this trick with the 32B. Unzip and copy all files into the root directory of a USB thumbdrive. These are Itokazie’s instructions, but I’ve tried to make them easier to follow:ġ. M34A to A110 Cross-flashing instructions. The second link in Post 386, the firmware from itokazie (Please Note: This link is a direct download link for the. I tried downloading the first firmware mentioned in Post 386 of the AVS Forum, but that didn’t work for me. These instructions should work with the M31B as well. The method of doing this is called crossflashing (cross-flashing). I stumbled across a thread in the Avsforum which explained how to turn the M34A into a Popcorn Hour A110, or at least make the M34A think it is an A110. Now,I knew that the M34A, and it’s sibling, the M31B were virtually the same as the Popcorn Hour A110, so that had me wondering I could use the firmware from the A110 on my M34A. Not that I needed them at the moment, but it’s always nice to know that you can eek a few more years out of a device, if there are firmware updates available. It’s never crashed on me once.Īs often happens with these things, the company went out of business. It was actually capable of playing anything I threw at it and played it well, including streaming from my Sheevaplug (Plug Computer) via Samba share (I never did work out how to get NFS working). I fell in love with this device straight away. It played more types of media than the others and had more types of connections, including a Sata connector. I chose this device instead of a Popcorn A110 or a Western Digital WD TV Live player as the eGreat seemed to be the bees knees compared to the others. Ack in June or July,last year, I bought an eGreat M34A media player. ![]()
