Hi Fellow Sufferers,
HDR1000S streaming from a Synology NAS (DS114) hardwired via a Gig Switch and a Gig Router. I’ve never had any streaming issues until this update. I stream 720p and 1080p movies which are generally MP4 but occasionally MKV format. The HDR was, until today, running 3.00.19 which had obviously updated automatically. Suddenly the movies are scaling to fit the screen and nothing I could do could get them scaling correctly, i.e. black bars top and bottom. Occasionally if I twiddle with the TV (Bravia KDL-40EX713) scaling options I could get it to work briefly but no adjustment of the picture size in the HDR would have any effect whatsoever, whereas in the past it has.
I’ve ‘upgraded’ to 3.00.20 downloaded from Freesat and there is an improvement. TV is reset to factory settings as is the HDR. If I run a movie, initially the scaling is wrong but if I stop it and immediately replay it’s scaled correctly. Stopping and playing another movie results in correct scaling also. So we seem to be half way there. As an aside though, 1080p’s won’t play reliably now whereas 720p’s seem to be OK. Can’t fathom that one as I’m hardwired and there shouldn’t be anything causing a bottleneck.
Interested in your comments…
P.S. By ‘reliably’ I mean 1080p’s are stuttering occasionally where they didn’t before.
Hello. I thought I would just drop in to note that this is still a problem for me. We use the te only function a lot to play files from the NAS so it’s quite a big issue for us. Has anyone found a solution? Very frustrating that a great product has been hobbled like this.

Hi,
No still a problem for us also, picture stretching to full screen, wrong ratio etc.. currently looking at a new bluray player that has the ability to read ntfs hdds/mkv files and other online streaming apps/utils etc
Just wish I could roll back to good working firware without it auto updating via lan (dont want to unplug lan btw)

This problem seems to have got worse. All movies now stretch regardless. Did you have any luck finding a decent Blu-Ray to do the job?
