    I want to upgrade/downgrade the firmware on my H340 so that it can play video. At the moment it says it has version 1.30, i read that earlier versions had the video but for some reason they removed it in this version.
    Which would be the best firmware for this player?

    Cheers for any advice

    I believe it was on the Korean firmware 1.29k I think, I know I flashed a few
    H320 and H340 units with it a couple of years back. The US versions
    does not support video playback. (Once you install the Korean firmware
    you can change the user language back to English).


    Here's a useful link to an app that'll help convert your videos
    in to a H340 friendly format:

    You might also be interested in putting Rockbox on, it adds great functions
    to the H320/340 and you can switch between the original Iriver and
    Rockbox firmware easily at boot up.

    Contains both the Korean/International Iriver firmware you need for video
    playback as well as info on how to add Rockbox.

    Bet you end up using Rockbox more than the video playback. ;)
    Gapless playback and dynamic playlists are great.
    The "what's playing next" is also handy.

    The DGT Collection is a nice looking theme for the H340 from what I recall.
