AC Ryan heeft enige tijd geleden alweer een nieuwe firmware uitgebracht voor de Playon!HD 2. AC Ryan bedient met zijn Playon!HD 2 de onderkant van de markt voor mediaspeler en biedt voor een schappelijke prijs een apparaat die de meest gangbare mediaformaten probleemloos kan afspelen. Bovendien kan hij, indien uitgerust met een interne harde schijf ook dienen als nas-server en BitTorrent-downloader. Deze firmware is eerst eind januari verschenen en later met hetzelfde versienummer wegen een klein probleem opnieuw uitgebracht. Kijk dus even bij Setup > Misc > Version info of er een datum van 7 februari staat. Het changelog voor versie 9.5.3.r7317 ziet er als volgt uit:
