This firmware is available via internet update. While IceTV seems to be OK, some TAPs no longer work (and when they load they either cause a spontaneous reboot or the Toppy locks-up); this only seems to happen with TAPs that access timers or EPG data (confirmed for TMS Timer and Smart EPG TMS).

Hi Mike,

I'd guess that it's only the 2400/2460 models as the 7100+ didn't get the July 3rd update either. The July 30th update is now on their website for the 2400, but not the 2460.

The only listed changes for both the 3rd and 30th of July firmwares is YouTube. So only models that have YouTube support would need the update. Not sure why fixing YouTube has broken some TAPs. Maybe there's an updated TAP API coming as well...

The update was only for models that support YouTube; 2400/2460/2470. It was supposed to only be a fix for YouTube but as I said above it also broke most TAPs.

This issue also applies to the September firmware updates for the 7100+, 2400 and 2460. These updates are only available via internet update; either Toppro does not have copy of the firmware or they do not want to put 'broken' firmware on their site.

Also note that YourTube access is again broken on the 2400/2460 (even with Sept firmware) and as of today weather is broken on all Australian Toppys that support Google weather. These issues have been reported to Toppro and I understand they have been passed on to Topfield engineers in Korea.

Hi Ian,

If the Sep 2012 firmware does not fix YouTube and does not fix TAP support what does it fix?

The Weather on Topfields has been offline since last weekend. We've switched to using Shoutcast to test Internet access.
cheers

The September firmware (7160, 7170,7100+, 2400/2460/2470) was not tested by Australian beta testing team so not sure what it was supposed to fix.

September firmware apparently fixed YouTube for a a week or two. Definitely did not fix TAPs. It may have also had added wireless dongle support and address the spontaneous rebooting when mounting or dismounting USB devices (only affects some user some of the time).
