mike in tulsa Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Looking for help, I thought I had read somewhere that an updated firmware for the mD w/MP3 Player had been released that solved the 10 minute sequence limitation. I can't seem to find it now.Thank you...Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightzilla Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 I am properly the only one who's mini director simply refuses to accept the up grade. I downloaded the right one (for the mini director) when it 1st came out and I tried on a number of occasions but after I hooked it up and tried it, it would take a long time to start a show, or it would only run 1 song/sequence then freeze and so on so I ended up back on the original version it came with.People tried to help (for which I was grateful) by posting links & emails but no dice.I keep wanting to get a new one but I just put up with this one since I have nothing over 10 minutes in a song/sequence nor do I need an SD card over 2 GB's.

Until I can get a resolve to the limitation, I have split the mp3 into two different tracks and will manually start the video.Take care,Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisquit476 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm having the same "just over 10 minutes" problem, it's actually like 10 minutes 59 seconds. I tried a bunch of different things with the animation file. It started at 15 minutes, I cut it down to 10, it worked, I copied the first 5 minutes and pasted it to the end of the 10 minutes, no work, right before 11 minutes it died again, and it hasn't come back on since. I had installed the updated firmware, reformatted the sd card to fat32 and fat 16, no help. I put in a help ticket for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisquit476 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 For those having problems with the 10 minute limit, try the latest firmware version 4-2 in the firmware section. I got my mini directors back from LOR and the time limit has been fixed, with the software now available, so try it and make sure it works,Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
