Ok. Yesterday i just installed Pogoplug and this is what I found and what i would like....

1. Every time i restart or loggin again in my mac. the remote access turns on again, it annoying to be turning it off every time.

2. sync should be possible at the old way. that means, with local drives, because if i dont want to have remote access activated that means i lost the option to active sync.

3. I started to copy music to the disk conected to the PP. but like it was slow. i decided to unplugged and do it directly conected to my computer..... so i deleted the files once conected in my mac. and copy all my files again in the HD.......

as a result....Pogo plug for some reasson doesnt know the first files were deleted and when im goin to the media section it shows me two files of the song. of course if i press the one it doest exist already nothing happens but at the same time doesnt let me delete it.

I had to reformat my drive and to put it another name to start again.

4. because of this the app for iphone blocks because it doesnt find the other duplicated file...

5. similar thing happens if pogoplug still doesnt update that i turned off my mac and that the remote access is not possible..... when accidentally i get in to my mac with my iphone app it crashes.

6. watching a video with the app or in the web just plays 10 secons...

IM SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH. BUT WELL I GUESS IS BETTER THAN NOTHING.

By the way, im very satisfied with the product...i just get another demo of the product cuz im going to buy another pogoplug for my Girlfriend's shiny new macbook air that has a crappy 64GB HD. this gift is going to be heaven for her.

Thanks Guys.

Ill continue uptating....

Hello Gerardo,

Nice post!

I agree with you 100% on point 1, the preferences should be kept after rebooting. Concerning number 2, I made the same request in the active copy topic, so agreed 100%. I hope "true" local copy is added as an option in the final version of the software.

Point 3: I think once you modify the disk contents directly (attaching to the PC through USB), the pogo will have to re-index the disks contents and this could take some time. So you should not expect, once you reattach the disk to the pogo, to immediately see the new files, and not see the old ones. This might well take some time (say 20-30 mins?) before the disk is reindexed and the web interface shows the updated contents.

Point 6 is probably because of the transcoding setting, under media settings: you have the option of generating a 10 seconds preview (the one you are seeing now) and/or to optimize all videos for playback (having all the videos fully transcoded by the pogoplug for web streaming). This second option takes an awful amount of time, say 2-3 hours to transcode one video of 800MB. So either you did not select the option to otimize videos for playback, and only the 10 seconds preview is generated, or maybe you were trying to watch the video before it had finished transcoding.

Hello Ackab..... honestly i dont know the time i left between checking again....probably you are right....except for one thing that probably is related... for example...i deleted a movie..and theres like a kind of image that was created for that movie....and now is in images media even when theres nothing there in reality.... so,,is quite similar problem...
and thats with a movie i deleted 10 hours ago....

And in the point 6...defenitely u are right...the thing is that...for example..in normal pogoplug browser (not the demo) it shows me that the movie is already being processed.

but in the demo, even if i press to rescan or watever, it doesnt shows me that something is happening or being processed.
again...sorry for my english.
its a pleasure to be helping here.
