1.0.26 & what’s next

Any chance of you preloading a working version of HBO?

What about a possiblity to trigger Focus Lock Quickly from autofocus menu and Display 24HR time without seconds!

Then there are some DRM problems With some apps and Airplay2/ChromeCast

How long you plan to improve software of the PPM? I mean fix bugs and add new features.

HBO have different apps for different regions, preloading for one region would be annoying for all other regions.

Form FAQs:
We are supporting this device for 2 years and several FOTA updates will be launched.

@imdevu thanks
@Philips_Support_P when will start this 2 years period? When PPM will go to stores or half of year already spent?

Please… explain what " … will be launched" means. … when I’ll receive it? When the first PPM was shipped? 2019? 2020?.. In the worst case I have (as ID 14060) very unlucky!!!

Hi, the support period (and your warranty period) begins when you receive your device.

If you got a defective unit and returned it within the return window (30 days), your warranty will begin from the day you get the working replacement.

Since there’s a delay on Philips side in picking up defective units, we are extending the above rule to be valid as long as your return was approved within the return window even if not picked up yet.

Thanks for the update.

Any chance this update will bring some improvements to the “untriggered back to home” issue several of us are facing?

If not, seeing the update releases rate, it means at least one more month (probably more) without being able to use the PPM. Should it be the case, I’d have to go for a refund request which would be a shame because I really like the device (at least during the slices of 5 minutes allowing me to watch movies).

This is mainly because offices in China have been closed for almost 1 month. I’m hoping to make a quick-fix in the next update to disable the touchpad, which I think is the source of the problem. And if confirmed to be due to hardware, these units will be recalled and replaced.

A real option to disable the touch controls would be helpful for those that don’t really use them and be a inconvenience when positioning the projector :sweat_smile:

@Philips_Support_P @Philips_Support_N for a future software update i would like to have an even darker mode than the Energysave as an option. Something like “night mode”. I use the Picopix Max on my ceiling in the bedroom and even in energysave mode I find it too bright.

Good idea!
This would also allow to reduce the fan noise and increase the time you can watch when you forgot to fully load the ppm.

Adaptive fan speed and “night mode” or brightness slider it would be great.

I actually already tested this. It’s damn near inaudible. But need QA team to verify that the thermal profile won’t cause problems.

I’ll suggest allowing the touchpad on main unit to do focus and 4 corner correction.
These functions rely on buttons on remote control. I’m afraid that in case the remote control is lost/out of service one day, we will be unable to use these functions.
