*purrs* this is excellent. fixes the crashing problem when the power off button was used while betaplayer was loaded... so now as far as i'm concerned it is perfect :D

guys - can the rest of you check out if the power-off bug has gone for you too? picard over at corecodec says he's got no idea how that got fixed because he didn't know what caused it in the first place -- so could you check that it's gone for you too as i'm pretty sure it's fixed on mine :)

Mine still crashes but i have a X30High now.

Great update nevertheless.

The instructions on the website say to uninstall previous versions.

Also, I tried installing it this AM on my SD card, and it didn't like it. It gave me codec errors. I then installed it in main memory and no problems. Great update.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but...

Is there any way to play other AVI codecs on Betaplayer? We get a lot of DJ and concert footage from people in AVI format, and they're fine on my PC, but...Betaplayer just kinda laughs at me. :(

I don't think that's fair. BetaPlayer is what the name says. Its still being developed. Its a great player already. So it only can become more better!

Stupid questions do not exsist!:)

desert_rhino · 06-16-04, 07:34 PM
