Could someone send me a pointer to the previous firmware (and up/down-grade directions too). Would be nice to get the video file capability back and since I have most of my stuff archived onto DVD-Rs, renaming files isn't an option.
This firmware fiasco is completely irresponsible of you as a company. First you didn't thouroughly test the new firmware before releasing it.
Second, as soon as the problem was discovered, you didn't make the previous firmware available so we could downgrade. It took users who had saved a copy of the old firmware to post it to download sites.
Please get with the program & put the old formware back on your site & hurry & fix the new one.
Has anyone had problems with audio synch on AVI files? I've tried a couple that played fine on my computer but had trouble on the machine (PQ was fine and so was sound, they just didn't match).
My guess is avi playback was removed on purpose and won't come back. The manual specifically excludes avi playback. So I think we had it by mistake to begin with and they just fixed their mistake. I'd just go back to the old firmware if you can. There are download links in this forum and in the Insignia Blu-ray players thread on avsforum.com.
I tend to agree with mdavej about the avi removal (since it's not in the manual)...but hope it was simply just a mistake....if it is true it's pretty sad, since we all know now that it is possible to play AVIs with a simple firmware fix.
I won't be upgrading either unless it becomes absolutely necessary or they fix the stuff they broke in the latest release.
It will also read the iso file as-is off a USB stick, no burning required. Just copy the file, plug it in (with the player off), turn on the player and follow the prompts.
I originally assumed it was intentional as well, but then Roger specifically stated "It was not our intent to remove capabilities with the latest firmware." If they intentionally removed AVI support, you'd think they'd chose not to comment on the matter.
