Download Firmware Popcorn Hour C-200 02-01-091113-19-POP-408-000

Syabas Technology has released a new firmware for the Popcorn Hour C-200. This so-called Networked Media Tank can play audio and video from the optional hard disk. But the device can also be used without a hard disk, because content can then be streamed from a NAS system or a computer. Updating the firmware can be done by extracting the zip file to the root of a USB memory stick and then browsing to the file ‘usbupdate.html’ from the menu. There is no need to update the nmt apps. The release notes for this version look like this:
