uPNP not working any more. Each time I connect to my Notebook, the background of my Archos turns black and then it restarts. :cry: Reproducable with video, pictures and music, which has been working properly with the former FW. Anyone else experiencing similar problems? +1. UPNP doens't work. It ha...

Yeah, I think they want a program to do all the work of analyzing the file and determining if it is compatible. Like scan a folder of video files and come back with a simple report of which ones can be moved directly on to the Archos and which ones need to be converted. this is exactly what iam loo...

http://goo.gl/24Az I think that covers most of it, the only exception would be the h.264 compatibility, but there's already several threads on this topic, so I would suggest looking there I don't understand why you just routed me to Archos specs page. I know the formats it plays. I have lot of vide...

Hi, I have many old videos that i wanted to transfer to Archos. But the problem is the compatibility. Archos doesn't play some versions of formats like WMP7 or 8, x.264 some profiles . Even when i try to convert the files i miss some. Its very annoying to see the message on Archos that the file is n...

Chebuzz - did you have any luck.

Thanks

Ya know, I ran into the same problem, only a different way. I downgraded to 1.6.54, then installed the patch successfully, then upgraded to 1.7.11. Rebooted and still had root, with all the goodies. I decided to roll back to 1.6.53 (dropping the patched fw into archos root) with the pre-patched fw ...

Chebuzz, I PM'ed serial number.

I would like to know if its possible or not. Original game file for Archos 605 has been generated by ...

Someone correct me if Im wrong: Get into your recovery mode (power + Vol. Up), and choose Repair (vol. up/down to move cursor, power to select). Connect your archos to your PC and copy the firmware you wish to install to the root of the archos ( latest firmware is here >> m ). Click "Done"...

The boot screen has changed to a Linux penguin logo,written 'patched firmware - 1.6.54' and hangsup there....

If you are techically good you can do it on your own. Follow the steps from http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=29152.

Good luck.

nokiae50, thanks for the guide. Its helpful. Please check if you can add this to your guide or correct me if i am wrong. When i tried to downgrade from Original Archos 1.7.11 to patched 1.6.54, the downgrade guide says to copy .cramfs.secure files into the mounted partition. In 1.7.11 the mounted pa...

nothing comes for cheap from Archos. Only option i can think about is a refurbished DVR station from Archos itself.

Check this https://store.archos.com/refurb.php regularly. You can be lucky some times. Don't expect it to be too cheaper.. it will around 55$ to 75$.

Good luck.
