Just got myself a popcorn hour a200. Anyone know of any good tips n tricks in general? Havent had time to plug it in yet... Will be running off a Macbook...
I still have my A-110 pumping along like a champion.
As for tips and tricks, give yourself some time to copy files to the internal HDD (if you're using one) as the CPU isn't powerful enough to give you more than ~3-5 Mbit/s.
I can't remember if it works on OS X or not but there shouldn't be a problem as its written in Java so check out YAMJ (http://code.google.com/p/moviejukebox/) as an option for a media frontend.
A-200 is not really much better than A-110 for network HD playback.
It's streaming speeds are too low.
But. not too bad if you can copy your files to the internal hard drive.
I bought the a-200 to replace my a-110 and was very disappointed. They market this as a gigabit device which is my reason for purchase, but this is a blatant misrepresentation of it's capabilities.
As for streaming, it will be only as good as my block standard d-link thats 5+ years old. More into the "dump everything" onto it and use it as a media player on the TV/HT... as my self built HTPC has now run to the end of its life.
Was in Bangkok this week and this seemed a good deal for $300 NZD.
Have opened the box, but still yet to find the time to uppack and plug it in to have a play. Goose
