O!Play HDP-R1 (1.41N) not detecting large capacity HDDs

[MaitrePuck]

I have purchased the O!Play HDP-R1 about 3 years ago and used to connect a 1TB external hard drive or an array of 4 x1TB hard drives to it. All the files were successfully recognized by the O!Play. Last year I upgraded to FW 1.38N and since then the O!Play stopped recognizing my hard drives. The O!Play would start the detection process, would hang there for a while, turn off itself and repeat the same process over and over.

Now the only thing I can use that can be detected are hard drives that are lower than 100GB in capacity. Over time I upgraded to FW 1.39N, 1.40N and lastly 1.41N hoping that the issue would be finally fixed but it hasn't. I contacted Asus and wrote on their forum for help but nobody answered.

Does anybody know a solution to this problem? Would a hack firmware fix this issue? I have tried to read this forum a little bit and the jargon seemed a little bit confusing as to what the hacked firmwares do and how to install them.

Thank you in advance for your help.

try to use AMR_R9 firmware with any skin.

Thank you Pokrass.

I went to the AMR_R9 topic and found this link:

hd2 GUI skin blue
https://moservices.googlecode.com/files/amp_r9_hd2.zip (46,3 Mb)

Is that the one I should try?

You can try any skin. They have different interface and functionality. You can flash any AMP_R9 firmware and change skin later (but in this way you'll must change irfake config too).

Sorry for being such a noob but when I downloaded the file from the link I found and tried to install it, it said: the image file is not for this board.

first of all read this viewtopic.php?f=12&t=98
And then install firmware via reset
