Couple of dm800 questions

[SAFC_FTM]

Ok after a bit of advice on 2 things:

1 - I recently had the ca error on my dm800 (caused by myself stupidly updated plugins through the genuine feature!!!). To clear this i had to reinstall 2nd stage loaders through DreamUP. I was told at the time to find out my ss by looking at device info in web browser, this showed up as ss72. So i flashed ss72 and then i was ok to put DreamElite image for bl72 on.

i have since found out that my box has the sticker on the bottom stating it is a 2.01 sim, does this mean i should be able to update it to ss75?


2 - I have also recently setup my dm800 so it see's my PC on my home network. I am using VLC for avi files and thats ok. Problem is when i try and play certain mkv files by using the media player some of the mkv are really jumpy. it isn't like this on all mkv just certain ones. I think i've proved its not a network fault by actually transferring said mkv onto the dm800 internal HDD and exactly the same happens. Only thing i think it could be is a driver or codec. any one got any ideas on how to solve this one too?


any help much appreciated.

Cheers

I won't be great help here,, but for the first question, my box runs on bl75 now with sim201. So I guess the answer is Yes you can upgrade to bl75. However, a confirmation from experts is needed.

as for the second question, I would like to know the answer as well.

well i haven't upgraded to bl75 yet as i'm hoping to get a definitive answer.
also i would like to upgrade without having to reflash box with an image again after.

any1 know if this is possible and also how to stop the mkvs glitching?

i have just got a new dm800 and it has sim 2.01, its running bl76.

did it come with BL76 or did you upgrade to 76?

anyone else got any thoughts on this as MKV's still skipping.

I do think it may be to do with codec/drivers within my old image and a BL upgrade may sort this, anyone know if this is correct or if its do-able?
