Hello,
After one year of absence, I'm back.
I just tried to connect my dp-508 to internet (the first time since I got it).
It's a rev2 with Toshiba 1712 model, and I use the modded FW 2.83 with all VGA included by Dracula. This FW works perfectly for playing movies, mp3 and network function, but I can't receive any webradio, meteo or game services : the dp-508 can connect to homepage (favorites, meteo, games, webradio3), but when I choose a menu (I have access to the principal menu : games, favorites, webradios, weather, webcams), it's impossible to navigate or select anything : for example if I select the mineswipper, I can read the rules, I have access to the menu "new game", but can't play, the same screen appears, and when I choose webradios, the server can't connect.
The time server doesn't work (it was OK with official 2.93 FW).
Is this normal because of a modded FW ?
So my question is : Hello Dracula, have you a new FW that corrects this little bug ? How can I change the webradio function ?

On the second hand, I'm surprised that all websites of Dracula and BIG have diappear, the links of Google are dead...
I've seen that BIG developped a 2.94 FW : if I test it, will my HD format or may I downgrade to 2.83 in case of freeze problem (it seems that occurs with some players) ?
Thanks.

OK, after turn off the player and reboot, the games, weather, and links to webcams work good. So it's not a problem of connection with the web.
But I still don't have any webradio, and no time server...

Web Radio has changed over time so it's possible you need newer FW to have it.
2.8.3 is really old so if you don't need Time Server (since you never
connected it to network before), or need Macrovision try upgrading and see
what doesn't work.

OK, thanks Hi-Jack !
I used Dracula's Modded 2.83FW since october 2005 because of the freeze problem with official 2.93 FW. When I contacted Kiss hotline last year they were not able to give me a solution, the force boot loader FW for the dp-500 didn't work (I had before flashing the ET's modded FW, and they said that the freeze problem occured beacause using a modded FW... Hahaha ! they didn't read the different topics !).
I tried again to contact Kiss yesterday, and they send me a 2.83 force boot loader FW for the dp-508 (last year this special FW was for the dp-500).
I flashed my player with it and now I'm testing the 2.93 again.
I'll tell you if it works... But I prefer to wait a lot of hours of test (for the moment playing via the network is OK for mp3 and video files) for a defintive answer.
And it's really good at this time to have webradios and Time on the player !!
