rso81 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 does it work with Maestro RR?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ResortCasual Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 10 second test... Neither the iOS 8.1 or the new Pioneer firmware fixed my issue with not being able to access a group of playlists stored in a folder. A more extensive test in about 30 minutes on my drive home.

mhaglerjr Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Pioneer needs to pay better attention to this. I downloaded the update for the 8000 and the zip file had the folder for the 5000. I don't think I want to try it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kush1007 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Pioneer needs to pay better attention to this. I downloaded the update for the 8000 and the zip file had the folder for the 5000. I don't think I want to try it. If you refer to the firmware download instructions it states that once the file is unzipped it will say 5000nex but it is indeed for the 8000. Youll be fine!!

mapotter99 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Pioneer mentioned this in the comments of a post on their facebook page. The folder has to be labeled this way for all NEX models to find the update on the drive. Don't ask me why. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mhaglerjr Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks. Didn't read the document due to having already done this with the Apple update the day that came out. I guess I didn't notice it may have also been labeled 5000 instead of 8000 after unzipping that as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tickerguy Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I detest liars. Pioneer claimed there was "no problem able to be reproduced" with the resume not working for up to a full driving DAY with 1.06 on a large external USB device (e.g. SSD full of media.) Well, they obviously reproduced something and fixed it, because 1.08 takes about 5 minutes to read my 120GB SSD on the first boot, doesn't play anything until it has finished, but once it does finish it picks up exactly where it left off immediately and thereafter. In other words, the "no problem found" was a lie -- they not only found the problem I reamed them on they fixed it. I'm happy it's fixed. I'm more than somewhat pissed that they didn't own up to breaking it in the first place. PS: Sort order on tag lookup is still broken at the song (after drilling to an album) level, and is probably broken at the file level (if your disk directory itself is not sorted.)

I wouldn't go as far as calling them liars. They probably couldn't reproduce the supposed issue. Maybe they tweaked something else and it just happened to fix it? Anyway, I am glad that pioneer is actually updating the units still. I figured once the CarPlay update was pushed, we'd becer see another. Hope they continue to improve.
