This release fixes the login problems with the NHL GameCenter app but it does *not* fix my problems with the CrunchyRoll website - the Boxee Browser still treats the entire website as a video, so instead of the webpage menu/controls, I have the video menu/controls (play, pause, etc). Can't do anything except leave the page... there's no way at all to login.

Vimeo login is finally working perfectly, thank you.

Shouldn't this be labelled as a release candidate if it has not been made automatically available and feedback is needed??

[ScottAllyn]

Well, the GameCenter app did actually allow me to login from a non-logged in state, but after exiting and restarting the app, it immediately goes to the spinning circle and stays there indefinitely.

So this update didn't fix the GameCenter app OR the CrunchyRoll website on my system.

Just upgraded to this firmware and i get blue screen after playing the bbc iplayer it stays blue for about 30seconds then screen comes back for 5 seconds then back to blue.

Hard to say from the outside. It appears it's being released as a bug fix for SP3, not as a release candidate for SP5, probably because SP5 will have a lot more bug fixes in it than just the two included in this update.

a release candidate for SP5

SP5? Do you mean SP4? Or are we skipping that one? (or is that one just and internal release?)

[darcilicious]

Not sure what's going on with SP4 -- either everything was removed from public view or it was scrubbed.

Though, there are two issues publicly viewable for SP4 -- that wasn't the case a couple of days ago.

Which is why I said it's hard to tell from the outside

Maybe best to think of this as more of a "hotfix"?

Generally speaking, you wouldn't label BETA software as "Release Candidate." RC is for when you think everything is done and tested and you're giving it and the install process one last look on general release platform/hardware.

Marcel didn't say it, but what he did say indicates to me that this release is a BETA, straight up.
