Firmware Update: Mede8er MED500X 3.0.2

Mede8er released version 3.0 of the firmware for its MED500X media player earlier this week. Unfortunately, this one was not tested well enough, because there were still some problems in it. There is a topic about this media player on the GoT, in which more information can be found and opinions can be shared.
