thank you Tapeworm for the answer. already found out that the card had to be FAT32 also as i formated that way and now the player sees it.
about the OF, i must be missing something and can’t figure out what it is. of course i already found the Manual Firmware Update and tried installing it that way, but still didnt work… that’s why i was asking if there is the manual software and not the updater. so if the Manual Firmware Update is the software itself, why hasnt it work to install the OF? probably because i havent tried it on the FAT32 formated player, although i have to admit i’m not 100% sure if so or not 
in any case, player works now, thanks a lot for your answers
