I finally got the keyboard software installed. I copied the missing files from another XP computer as you suggested, and now i'm able to costumize the buttons on the DiNovo mini.

I'm looking forward to hear more about your own experiments with the Beomedia...

After all updates are installed I think you should have Software version 3.02 & OS update version 3.05.

Jumping into this thread as well as I recently bought a pre-owned unit (1750 / HW version: 1.000) as well. Did as most other people have done; upgraded the memory from 256MB to 1GB and replaced the 160GB PATA disk with a 700GB PATA. So far it seems that everything works as it should including the cloning of the original disk which after I did a full recovery which gives me the following software specs:

Software version: 3.02.00
Firmware version: 0x189
OS image version: 2.08
OS update version: 3.05

I am now filling the 1.8TB data partition with the contents of my NAS to see how well the BeoMedia handles large numbers of files.  I will be copying 4117 video files that reside in 249 folders (1.34TB), 16114 music files that reside in 1022 folders (149GB), and 5064 pictures that reside in 79 folders (6.84GB).  It will be interesting to see how well it can cope with and index all these files...

How did it work out with the filling? I've played around as well and uploaded to the shared folder around 200gb music; approx 31000 mp3 files which worked out fine. Indexing usually takes a while since I previosly used a BeoPort solution. But, here I'm kind of turned off on the handling with the media files on the Beomedia 1. I've been trying to using the Beo4 including accessing the unit via VNC and I had my hopes that it would be kind of like working with the BeoPlayer interface as I've done previously.

Also I don't really see the point of syncing the BeoPlayer installed on a client with BeoMedia; it does a full re-scan everytime I start the BeoPlaer which in my case takes around 2 hours. I had my hope that I would be able to create playlists which I then would sync to the Beomedia which it doesn't. So for the moment stuck; guess that I'm doing something wrong here. Suggestions what to look at to get it to work proper?
