Software Update v1.1.0 is available now

[wojtowicz.leszek]

I have just updated the PPM and the new software is very nice! One question, does Philips plan to add more languages ?

[IvoGrijt]

Which language(s) are you missing specifically?

[Roberto_Carlos]

Shame, because I do have MX player pro, but because we don’t have GMS, I can’t validate the address I’ve linked to Google services.

[wojtowicz.leszek]

Missing my own language:) (polish).
Do not get me wrong, english is OK for me, but the PPM would look more proper as a Philips product. After all, all Philips brand products contain native languages if they are introduced into a specyfic market.

download and update worked out with patience and I can now enjoy the new version. Kudos to the team

Kudos to hardware & software engineers for this awesome update , I’m shocked (in a good way ) by the difference!
I didn’t expect that when buying it, so glad that I had low expectations at the time and get those improvements remotely!
Keep up the good work

Great update, could not do ‘Online’ but worked perfectly Offline.

Issues for me:

1. All the non default apps I had installed disappeared until I had rebooted (then they all come back fine.
2. When on charge (AC or battery) it never goes above 97% charged
3. Yellow File manager icon, seriously, Yellow? Sack who ever decided on Yellow.

Patiently waiting for the ability to reorder apps (and choose which quick settings are on the home page) and the PPM will be just about perfect.

Oh and I loved when I unplugged the PPM from charge and instead of an actual ‘time remaining’ it said “A long time remaining”. Made me laugh.

Did a double header Saturday night of Trolls World Tour followed by Falling Down, both at Normal brightness paired to JBL BoomBox and I still had 38mins remaining on the internal battery and a dead Zmi 15000mah battery pack. I’m very happy with that.

Bluetooth audio stutter when using 2.4GHz network

Several people reported that when connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network and playing audio via Bluetooth speakers, there’s a lot of stuttering, specially when the remote control is active. This update improves the recovery algorithm for such interference. While the proper solution is to switch to a 5GHz network, we understand not all of you have this option. This update reduces the chance of a jam, and recovers more aggressively if a jam does occur.

I still have really strong stutter while casting video via “chromecast”. BTW, I have 2 networks with the same name 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz, how do I choose which one to connect to?

@Philips_Support_P, I have the same observation as @GeoffAlex. Should be a minor bug that could be fixed in next update.

@GeoffAlex

the 24h clock is only present on the home screen, other screens still show AM/PM

[mmeidl]

Rename them so you know which one to choose. 5ghz is the recommendation

Should I Name My 2.4GHz & 5GHz Wireless Networks the Same?

Iv done the update & noticed the fan noise on normal is still the same level, & the charger & projector are quite hot after about half hour in iv turned it off just to cool it down will see how it goes

[Picopixjon]

when plugged in it’s getting a slight noise when charging & when turned off the noise goes away, is this normal?

[mmeidl]

The clarity of the image is insane.

[djupsjob]

Yes, it really brings out the beautiful colour of the salmon fillet! I couldn’t think of a better way to watch food commercials!

I’m really happy with this update.

This part of release notes especially should be in bold:

Please go to the Keystone Correction settings and turn Automatic Keystone Correction ON. If it was already on, first turn it OFF, then back ON. You only need to do this once. Afterwards you’ll immediately notice better performance.

I haven’t noticed it first, so I didn’t try to turn the auto correction OFF and ON again. The difference in performance is huge!!!

Now I can finally watch movies without attaching Odroid C4 to run KODI. It would be better if 4 corner correction worked with same performace, but well, nothing is perfect…

The fan noise reduction is great too. I’m really happy with this software update. If there will be few more updates as major as this one, the projector will be nearly perfect.

Big thanks to the team working on it! Even though it’s their job.

[IvoGrijt]

This isn’t persistently settable at the moment however, whereas it should’ve been if I understood correctly. So at each start up of the PPM you’ll need to do the toggle. The next FW update will probably fix this if it was indeed an oversight.

[ScouseKiwi]

fan noise still the same for me. i’ve updated correctly and have since done a factory reset but still the same - the fan is just as loud as before. no increase in battery too. very frustrating as sounds like this is working for everyone else.

any ideas folks?

thanks

[Philips_Support_P]

Hi @ScouseKiwi what are your room conditions (temperature and humidity)? Is there enough ventilation specially on the sides of the projector?
