Nsync issue with FW 2.00.04

[bigwombat]

Subscribing to this thread. I have nsync problems also to a normal FTP server. Hangs on sub-folders and does not complete. Also using Firmware 2.00.04.

Update: Stopping the nsync task and re-starting it multiple times appears to have started the file copy. At least files are copying now, whereas before nothing happened.

nsync does not work correct in FW 2.00.04 - thecus has a solution, so please contact support direct or ait for the new FW release.

Thanks Peter, just submitted a ticket.

Just out of interest, can you post the fix to the forum?

[peterfu]

Sorry no, Thecus has provided me a beta FW for testing and asked not to distribute it - I'm the opinion that I have to respect their wish.

Beta firmware, again? Man, I am really sick of having to upgrade the Thecus firmware and use 'beta' firmware to get the advertised features working. Very frustrating.

Still waiting on a reply from Thecus support...

Agreed ! Feel like being cheated, isn't it? But bear in mind, they do have the function, just that it wont work properly...

You still have long time to go man ... I've waited for one year already...since N5200...good luck

Here's the answer from Thecus support, upgrade to FW 2.00.05.1. I've applied this firmware update and can confirm that it fixed this particular NSYNC issue.

[N5200 v2.00.05.1 beta Firmware]

MD5 Checksum: a0fdcbed0f0387ca9c892d01c445f766

No release notes, so not sure what else it fixes (or breaks)

Anyway, I'm a happy camper now.
