T2 upgrade to V2

[adoxa]

it's already been noted that the speeds you select for FF & FR have problems.

If you want to skip ads (or otherwise just jump through the recording) then using the skip functions is far superior (the arrows, and numbers once configured); if you actually want to watch in FF I'm afraid you're out of luck, it's just not going to work (with the drivers we have and it's doubtful we'll get new ones).

MY wife even complains that the button click is too loud.

That annoys me, too (even after using it for over a year). Otherwise, though, I find this remote much better than the T2 and U4.

You got new drivers last week.

It seems that there has been a F/W update for my V2. I assume that there was some place for me to register so that I'd be notified about this but that I failed to register for it. If so how is this done?

I don't see any mention of what changes are in this update, is this something else I missed.

The manual says that updates can be done directly from the machine or using USB and has the suggestion that USB is better. I find that the V2 did not find any updates at all for my machine.

I now have the download on a USB stick ready to go but will wait until I get a brand new tablet,purchased yesterday set up & running so that I can replay the video again that has many small steps to follow.

Just to note that the link posted takes you to the Beta version of the software - so only proceed if you’re ok with using beta software

Thanks for that information I hadn't realised that it was only a beta version.

Hi,

I recently updated 2 x V2 online of 240 packages, and had no problems with that process. It did recommend using USB, but seeing there's a backup of setttings, assuming you take that step, it's fairly safe. If it fails, you can restore your settings easily, after installing from USB.

Always handy to a copy of the latest Beta FW (and older ones too - just in case).

I can't see any real reason to do a F/W update for a beta version especially if I don't know if it will fix or improve any little problems that I have. It would be nice to know just what the update wished to achieve.

I have never found either a list of all jargon, abbreviations or , contractions etc that is frequently used in either the guides or forums.

And I always am finding more questions to ask like I'm finding that you can change stations & encounter a huge variation in volume, perhaps there is a plug in to help?

You might like to look at the topic: Any way to keep sound levels uniform across channels?

I posted some instructions about how to set it up in that topic. I don't know whether they're still up to date.

The V2 received a major update to its hardware drivers with that update.

All the other units (v2 included) also got a few fixed to SMB networking, plus some other bits and pieces.

If you are on beta, then it is in your best interests to stay up to date as there are sometimes many under the hood tweaks that generally improve by increments.

A read of the howtos sticky threads will usually cover off most of what you'll encounter.
Covering off all the technical jargon that isn't necessarily Beyonwiz specific would be a little out of the scope of this forum.

There is an auto volume plugin. Check prl's comment for that.

The usual volume difference you will encounter, is the one between the channels broadcasting Dolby audio and those that are MPEG audio.

The way I choose to solve this issue is to disable the Dolby decoding feature under the V2 audio settings, so that my equipment receives the raw Dolby signal and the Beyonwiz volume control no longer affects those channels. You then adjust the volume of the MPEG channels so that they sound the same as the volume on the Dolby channels. All listening level adjustments are then managed using your TV/Receiver volume controls, and not the Beyonwiz volume controls.
