I am not sure which world you are living in. Users should be happy when they have to wait for a year to have one major functionality working according to you post.

This should quiet a few folks that keep questioning why Youtube and other video sites aren't working anymore and why Archos isn't ...

Do you have a mini-dock, or docking station of some sort? You will need that to play movies externally on a television.

What you are suggesting is that we save money to buy product from a company with most crappy service.
You seem to have not paid attention to anything I wrote in my previous post.
What I am stating is that Gen6 is an old device, and old web devices will most definitely run into problems with ...

It all depends on a couple of variables -- what is wrong with your device, and how busy the repair center is at the time of repair.
Plan for about 30-40 days on avg. I've been through the process a few times ranging from 14-15 days to over a month. Just be patient, plan for a 30-40 day turn around ...

Honestly ppl give it a rest and calm down..
Gen6 devices are older devices -- amazing in their time, being fully functional web devices and all [and still are for all intents and purposes] -- but obviously not the focus of archos' forward momentum. Yeah, its kind of a bum deal that they haven't ...

Most ppl say 1.6.5x is the most stable, but I havent had any problems with the latest firmware 1.7.11. Just keep in mind that the internet browsing capabilities of AVOS isn't the greatest on gen6 devices in general. You'll encounter occasional page freezes, and flash10 is currently not supported by ...

Yes

you could go grab an FMremote -- comes with a headphone jack.

You could RMA the device, Im sure it would still be cheaper to RMA it than to buy an Ipod

hah. nice one. archos fans has seemingly banned this site link. I found the reader -- looks pretty nice, I'll have to try it out if I can get around to it.

w00t? post 400? man. I need a break.

Sounds like your HDD is pooping out.
RMA it, or replace the HDD yourself

I've installed an Ebook reader on my rev199 Illume build - EPDFviewer - works pretty well. ;)

Status update anyone?
It'd be nice to see some action on this soon.

The image download is pretty slow, any interest in offering a torrent of it?

Update: issues with r2 build.

mplayer does not run and hence quasar isn't working either
Switching between default keyboard and numbers keyboard is difficult. I usually end up typing ']' or 'p' about 5 times before the ...

Only thing I can suggest is tweak with your volume settings in archoshelper, as well as the gpe-sound setting.
Also look at the volume levels in quasar itself.
Good Luck :)

yes indeed it does.

tell me something -- when you were on the old build (matchbox/gpe), did you have headphone sound? Im thinking it may be that you need to configure your mplayer's codec? o.0

by sound -- do you mean through the speaker? or headphones?

It defaults to headphones -- if you want to hear through the speaker, you'll have to set that manually in the archos helper prior to playback. ;)

this is not a proper release. It is a WIP, not meant for download.
file deleted.
Stick to the links I provide in this post pls.

Sources and IPKs separate.

ya know, give me a bit, and I'll re-upload the ipk files, and a separate tarball for the source files. makes more sense. :)
