Just received my os-72hr

Well, just opened the package today and after some minutes I've seen some problems. later I'll post a review but from what I see right now I can say:

No way of working it with mac, not even with windows virtualized so pain in the ass as I don't have any way of puting media on it.
OTG doesn't work with a 320gb nfts formated HD. says not enough power. I'll try with an 8gb stick.
Buttons are strange but I think I need to get used to it.

more later

sorry it wont work with the mac, what happens when you do plug it in??

i have always been dubiuos of the players being able to power up HDD units, is yours full size one

If that HDD is leaching power from the player then it won't properly work, the HDD may need its own power supply, although it may work if the player is connected to its wall charger.

Won't work on macs right now, trying to get that sorted.

when I conected it to the mac it won't show anything. the player just charges. The hd is a WD passport 320gb. It works just with the usb but I'll try with the player pluged to the wall charger. The thing is that I connected an 8gb pendrive and I don't know how to do it. I go to otg, it connects but I don't know how to get the info in it. It's formated as FAT32, I think.

If you guys can sort the connection with macs it would be huge.

what version mac do you have - intel MAC .. OSX and what update are you up to - i see that some version of OSx updates mess with USB drives

also do we know what file format the OS72 is -is it FAT32 or 16

I have an intel 10.5.8. everything works well as all the devices show up as removable drive. I need to check the file format of the os72

To access the pen drive, goto the file explorer on the OS-72HR, it will show up as a drive on the player.

i just got a os-72hr too but i just need to know - in settings-about its says os-81, version 5.3, 26th july 2009 - is this right anyone?

yes thats correct - dont worry about the OS81 - factory messed that one up and 5.3 is latest firmware -did yours come with OTG and a OTG cable??

thats a relief - thought i had the wrong player at first - and yes its got otg and the otg cable so very pleased - only slight downside is the screens got a dead pixel in the bottom right corner but i only notice it if i try to look for it so its not really a problem - overall very pleased
