    Latest firmware 1.40a and Config Tool 1.30

    Reply Contact

    I got my new Beo5 today, firmware is 1.40a which refuses to download Configuration Files created with Config Tool v1.30.

    Anybody knows a solution to this problem?

    Is there a "changelog" what's different in the new firmware and in the new config tool?

     

    Perhaps it solves some problems (like mine) where  the Beo5 refuses to get the configuration ...:-(

    I noticed new firmware doesn't send the commands of third party xml files. I hope it's my fault, but it doesn't look well.

    Apparantly there is an issue with the FW 1.40 and the 3rd party XML files, we are looking into it right now.

    In the meantime, people who upgrade to tool 2.20 and fw 1.40, will NOT be able to use the XML files from the 3 party tool, and you cannot go back, once you have FW 1.40.

     FW 1.40 needs config tool 2.20, and cannot be serialized with 1.30.

     So if you rely on the 3rd party tool, then don't upgrade just yet.
