A Look at the Interface
Aug 01, 2011 AC Ryan wasn’t oblivious to this fact, and as a result wanted to go the extra mile on its gen-2 series. We first started getting previews of these this past winter, while both the Playon!HD 2 and Playon!HD Mini 2 have been available for a couple of months. Nov 15, 2010 Wireless-N USB Adaptor with every Playon!HD or Playon!HD Mini and Playon! In case this price is a bit over your budget, you can always go for ACRyan’s Playon!

The new GUI is completely different from the old one. Here we must note that with the recent software upgrade the new GUI is also available to the owners of the older PlayOn!HD. From the main menu you have access to seven sub-menus or you can play the most recently added music or videos immediately.
From the movies, music and photo submenus you have access to the respective folders on the internal HDD. Via the Files Manager option you can explore all attached, local or remote, devices. Internet Media gives you access to the online services that the PlayOn!HD2 supports. For easier access you can connect a keyboard and a mouse, but unfortunately there is no visible cursor, crippling the mouse's usability. The supported online media services include the famous Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Picasa, Buddy Link, Video Podcasts etc.
Continuing our trip to the main menu, next we find the Jukebox option. Through Jukebox you get many interesting details for your stored movies like covers, rating, actor names, brief summary, details about the movie format etc. In order to setup Jukebox on your player or on a remote network share you need to install YAMJ (Yet Another Movie Jukebox) and follow these instructions.
The next option in the main menu is the most crucial since through this you can setup the player. In the Setup option we find several submenus with system, audio, video, network and misc settings. For each submenu we will refer to the most vital settings.
Through system settings you can choose the menu language, text encoding, system fonts, set the time after which the screen saver will be enabled, scan storage for media files, format the internal HDD etc.
In audio settings you can enable night mode and set the HDMI and SPDIF outputs. If you have connected the player to a Dolby Surround amplifier through optical or coaxial SPDIF then you must select Passthrough at SPDIF output.
Through video settings you can set the aspect ratio, the resolution and refresh rate according to the TV set that the player is connected, enable Plasma mode, set the screen size etc.
Wired or wireless network connections can be configured through Network settings. You will also find some interesting features there like FTP server, Samba, UPnP Server, PPPoE setup and transmission.

Transmission exists in the newer firmaware (r3966) and substitutes the previous BitTorrent client. After you enable it through your favorite browser on a smartphone/PC/laptop, enter the IP address of the player followed by port 9091, for example: 192.168.1.20:9091. Then you will be redirected to the transmission page where you can add / remove torrents to download. Attention, in order to download torrents you need to have a HDD installed in the media player. As it seems you cannot send the torrents you want to download to a network share but only download them straight to internal storage and move them afterwards. Also we noticed that while transmission verifies the downloaded data of a torrent file, the menu response becomes really sluggish, rendering it unusable. However the playback of an 80 mbps MKV file, from the internal drive, while downloading with 1.2 MB/sec speed was excellent without any shutters.
Lastly, through misc settings you can get various info about the player like its version & network info, upgrade it through a USB stick, set a password, enable folder access protection etc.
Finally, to give you an idea of the PlayOn!HD2 in action we made the following video.

Media players have borrowed some of the multimedia functionality of a PC system and have become attractive to consumers, seeking for an affordable way to bring their video and audio files to their living room. Being stylish and compact, media players have found their way next to a high-end HD TV, offering effortless digital video playback.
Dutch company AC Ryan has introduced 'PlayonHD!', an attractively priced media player packed with powerful features.
The Playon!HD enables users to enjoy your Full HD media on their large screen TV with the highest 1080p Full HD quality. The supported formats and codecs supported include MKV, H.264, RM/RMVB, AVI, MOV, WMV, ISO etc. The simplicity of the Playon!HD is the key behind its success. Connecting simply with HDMI (high definition multimedia interface), the Playon!HD starts up in 5 seconds just as you would expect a living room consumer device to do. Browse for a file, press Play and enjoy!
The Playon!HD centralizes all your media, using a user-installable 3.5' hard disk (supports up to today's largest 2TB hard disk). Being able to function as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) Drive, means this centralized media can be played from other network devices too such as your computer. In cases where you still would like your Playon!HD to play your media from other storage, Playon!HD is able to play from a wide selection of media storage - Local 3.5' Hard disk storage, External USB Hard disks, USB Drives, Media cards (SD / SDHC / MS / MSPro) and Network. The additional Wireless-N 300mbps Adaptor (optional) brings the Playon!HD to the forefront of wireless HD media streaming.
