I'm much more interested in the new off-site Active Copy. that should have its own PR! Where do I find out more about that? For example, can I have it active copy only on off-business hours? Does the off-site unit have to have the exact same disk setup/space etc? Is there a file size limit? What happens if the copy fails half-way through?

Thanks,

Active Copy doesn't have scheduling. But once the original copy is done there is not much overhead if you are just using it to copy over changed files.

Nope, no restrictions. Just has to have a place (folder) to copy to.

Is there a file size limit?

Not that I am aware of.

What happens if the copy fails half-way through? Thanks,

If a file was saved that was not completed then the file size would be smaller than the original file. In that case the copy program should see that the filesize in the original file is different than the size of the one on the destination drive and copy the original file over.

I am having trouble as well finding any documentation on streaming from my pogoplug to XBOX or PS3.

Would appreciate any help or links with information. It does not appear that it is recognized on the same network automatically, so what steps need to be taken to setup this function?

Log on to my pogoplug.com

Under Settings then Media settings you  find a tick box.  You need to enable the streaming before it can be used.

Thanks So much Gavin, that was exactly what I was looking for, I must have missed it.

A note to anyone with similar issue, be sure to reset/clear your browsers cache before visiting your site at mypogoplug.com, some changes did not appear for me because of this.

This update no longer working, I had the pogoplug streaming to the WDTV and the PS3, but just as soon as it was able to do this, it has now stopped, pogoplug is complete crap as far as im concerned, and I would advise against buying, customer support is is useless too

Hi @Alan1966

Which firmware version is your Pogoplug running?

We did resolve streaming in version 2.5.4, which we have begun rolling out to Pogoplug's in the wild. Please contact Support, (if you haven't already), so we can check the status of your update.

Kindest Regards

Days later, has anyone seen the mythical 2.5.4 version update and does it work?

October 16, 2010 8:31 AM

do not check the bottom of your general setting screen (that is the web interface and not the firmware of your pogoplug); the firmware is listed on the general setting screen under "your pogoplugged enabled devices" with the firmware beside the name of your pogoplug unit. While my UI version and Service Version reads 2.5.4, my pogoplug still reads 2.5.3 and still does not media stream!

Before this latest update, or maybe before the one before that, I was able to stream not only to my ps3, I was also able stream to my WDTV Live media player, so as far as im concerned the pogoplugs flexibility has been decreased, how can these firmware upgrades be classed as upgrades if its functionality has decreased, when are pogoplug going to support the WDTV Live box ?

Streaming from Pogoplug to PS3 used to work like a charm...for maybe a week after I bought my pogoplug. 2.5.3 broke it and it's been like 3 weeks and it is still not working. My general settings-> shows 2.5.3 at the moment.

Maybe I need to pray and my pogoplug will update itself to 2.5.4?

Guys at pogoplug do you have a monkey dealing with the firware upgrades? In which case it might be a good idea to let the users upgrade themselves?
