Can't see a way to successfully get AppleVis podcasts onto PlexTalk
by Flor Lynch 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

has anyone tried getting the AppleVis podcasts, from www.applevis.com/podcasts, etc, onto the PlexTalk (Pocket)? there is a formatting problem at least: the address doesn't end in .xml - for example. So I think you have to download the individual podcast mp3 files on to it. It's a pity the plexTalk is so fussy about formatting that it won't accept.

ptp1 and ptp1 linio updates
by Aidan 20 Oct '14

20 Oct '14

Hello everyone. This is to inform for those who might not no yet that both the pocket and the linio pocket now got firmware updates. Fixing among other things USB connectivity issues. I no on a number of pc's people had problems. Hope they will have a much more smoover and smarter connecting experience. Only sad thing is that for this update they have done away with the .exe file download. So you must use the .zip file for the UK firmware. Don't no on the US firmware if they kept that file. Goodluck and enjoy. Feel free to report back here or email me directly if someone struggle with the zip download. -- Facebook: m.facebook.com/aidan.maher92 Skype: andries4451 Twitter: smarttalk7 Audioboo: www.audioboo.com/DjSpotlight

ptn2 obsurvation (intresting)
by Aidan 14 Oct '14

Hello all ptn2 users and everyone else interested. A while ago, my ptn2 battery gave in. It did know longer hold a full charge. I decided that there is no use of it furder and I removed the battery and the screw wich holded the cover. Now I like the fact that the unit tells me that no battery is installed. But here is the thing: I was expecting the date and time to be completely rong, as it was more than a month without a battery, and I always thought that it must be the battery that also holded the clock settings. However, now I found that the date and time was still correct. This leads me to think that the ptn2 like computers, must maybe have a small battery in the motherboard or somewhere wich does this job. Intresting. Wunder what is the case with other units such as ptr2?

Hello Arno. In your e-mail you said that the PTR 2 could cope with S D cards. This is news to me. Am I missing a trick here? Is there a socket that I have not found, or are you using a flash to S D card adaptor? It will be good to know. We are unable to find flash cards nowadays, so it would also be good to know of a different supplier.

I know on my PTR1 that it will only cope with up to 2GB cards. The 2 GB limit on the cards are only for SD on PTR1. The PTR2 is able to handle SDHC cards, too. So SD cards larger than 2 GB are no problem at all for the PTR2. And for CF cards: The PTR1, and of course the PTR2, can handle CF cards up to 32 GB.

Linda has two PTR 2 machines. One was bought slightly earlier than the second one, and there are some cards which it won't take, which work well in the later one. Maybe you need a software upgrade. If you originally bought your cards from Humanware, then they have been known to use the cards for tests, and if you draw this to their attention they should replace the cards. On one occasion, we bought four flash cards from Humanware, only to find that there was less space on two of them than there should be. Although no files registered on the Plextalks, the computer showed up some files, and when I contacted Humanware they said we could delete the files on the cards. I asked Humanware to send us a free card as an extra to make up for the trouble we had gone to. Keep well.

CF cards
by Wendy Sharpe 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

A while ago I bought four new CF cards to use in my Plextor PTR2. Two of them are fine, but the other two don't seem to be recognised by my player. It reports that there is no free space on the cards, but I know there is nothing on them. I have sought advice from some technical friends, and have tried both cards on my computer. Going into properties, it reports that the cards are fine, having the normal amount of free space for 4GB cards. I did a check for errors on the properties tools tab, and the report was that everything was ok. Can anyone give any further advice, or are they just dud cards? Wendy

Cannot update key episodes in podcast flist
by Flor Lynch 30 Sep '14

30 Sep '14

Hi, That (or something like it) is the message i get when I try. I've somehow lost the facility to update podcasts or download all podcast in the feed, on my PlexTalk Pocket. I can transfer them from the PC and can tune in radio stations on it. When i delete a podcast, the folder also is gone. Should the Podcast Feed manager also be on the PTP? At the moment, it appears not to be. Empty podcast feeds are not picked up by the PTP. I must have deleted something I shouldn't have, I think, or how should I restore the podcast update functionality on the PTP? Thanks.
