This is a weird problem that I recently discovered - The hub seems to eject my powered USB hd (Verbatim External 3.5" Hard Drive 1.5 TB model #47513) in the middle of a movie if there’s a longer pause(black area).
It happens in movies that I know have worked perfectly before, I’ll try to describe exactly what happens:
Whenever there’s a pause of a few seconds where the screen turns black, the hub makes a clicking sound as if it is switching something, then shortly after it turns the power of my Verbatim hd and gives me a message that the content source is no longer present!
Things I have tried to locate the problem:
-
Attaching the verbatim USB hd directly to my TV
No problem the movie plays fine through the pause -
Re-ripping the movie to mkv
Does not solve the problem with powered USB hd and the hub -
Playing the movie from an USB powered hd (Packard Bell PB GO 2.5" 500GB model#LC.EXH04.015)
The hub still makes a clicking sound during a pause(black screen) in the movie, but it plays the movie just fine to the end -
Attaching the verbatim USB hd to our old media player (Denver dcb-108hd - DVB-C TV-tuner with media player function)
No problem the movie plays fine through the pause -
Playing the movie using DLNA on my TV through Twonky server on the hub
Same problem - The verbatim USB hd is being powered down during pause in a movie(black screen)
I’ve got a few movies that used to play fine, but now have the same symptoms, and it is at the exact same spot (during a pause in a movie(black screen) - Re-ripping them does not help!
I am not sure, but I think the problems began after the 2.06.10 firmware update!
The hub is beginning to drive me insane, things seems to get worse over time, I am very close to give up on this device!
Please, if you have any suggestions that might help, do not hesitate to post them here!
