New firmware update sc200 - 2007/09/29 08:20 Hello,

I was wondering if anybody has already downloaded and tried the latest firmware upgrade for the pinnacle 200. (SC200_FW_21_63)

I think it is a sorta a downgrade and only usefull for vista users?

I dare not install it.

Re: New firmware update sc200 - 2007/10/01 05:51 The following details are from the Pinnacle support website:

New features

* A much improved UPnP AV client with better compatibility to popular UPnP AV server software
* Windows Vista support by using Windows Media Player as the server (Note: the Pinnacle server software is not compatible with Windows Vista)
* WMV9 fast forward/rewind improvements

Known open issues in this BETA version

* Playback of DivX v3 AVI files is no longer supported
* Dolby® Digital audio will not be sent to the analog outputs, even if you enabled this feature
* With a Wi-Fi connection, servers may not appear until ShowCenter 200 is turned off and on again
* Internet radio may take a long time to start playing
* DRM-protected WMA or WMV files do not play when using the Pinnacle server software

Due to those "little" issues, I think I'll stick with the existing firmware!

I wouldn't count on it.


That firmware's marked as Beta - maybe the final release will be a bit better.

Re: New firmware update sc200 - 2008/01/28 08:32 A new beta firmware for ShowCenter (21.81) is available

New features

A much improved UPnP AV client with better compatibility to popular UPnP AV server software
Windows Vista support by using Windows Media Player 11 as the server
WMV9 fast forward/rewind improvements
Support for RealNetworks Rhapsody (by using the UPnP server of the Rhapsody application)

Additional features and bug fixes when using the Pinnacle server software (Windows XP only):

Dolby® Digital audio may be sent to the analog outputs (requires a paid activation using the Pinnacle server software)
Playback of files protected with Microsoft DRM is fixed
Internet radio playback now starts up faster again
DivX® files with Dolby® Digital sound play in sync again
DivX® v3 is supported again (note that only some variations of this format may be played)

Known issues of this version:

Playing VBR MP3s a second time results in wrong duration
Some WMV files play without audio
Visualization: scrolling text does not scroll
Server detection directly after a Wi-Fi setup sometimes fails (turn ShowCenter off and on to fix this)
No cursor highlight after stopping photo slideshow (move cursor to make it appear)

Re: New firmware update sc200 - 2008/02/03 17:29 Just an FYI..

There is a post in the Pinnacle forums that at least one person has rendered his ShowCenter useless by installing the beta firmware and then trying to apply the downgrade....

Re: New firmware update sc200 - 2008/02/04 09:05 I didn't had any problems returning to the old 11-14 firmware using the expanded zip-archive on an usb-stick. Before that I installed both of the new firmwares: 21-63 and 21-81. But they have two issues why I returned to the old one:
  • no navigation sound when changing menus
  • degraded font-rendering on a simple PAL display

I didn't noticed any improvements in playback.

Anyone who wants to update, should know that he will loose the network-settings and all servers configured. So, happy typing with the remote
