Upcoming v1.1 Firmware Update

[darcilicious]

http://blog.boxee.tv/2011/03/30/boxe...rmware-update/

The last firmware update came out in Feb, so you should expect to see the next update come out in May. Here is what’s coming:

• Browser: faster loading and scrolling, favorites and history
• Video playback: improved ffwd/rwd controls, new look for on-screen-display
• Local files: sort by source, .nfo support
• New languages: French, German, Hebrew, Italian, Spanish, Swedish
• Support for Boxee for iPad..

We have gone through http://jira.boxee.tv and tried to resolve the most critical/annoying bugs (we consider bug priority based on their popularity in Jira and the related discussions in the forum). Some bugs we are solving with this update:

• Occasionally when trying to download and install applications it will result with “signature failed” message
• Using USB IR receiver duplicate button presses are occasionally generated
• HTTPS URLs cannot be invoked from search bar
• Update is prompted during paused video
• Special characters are displayed wrong
• Playback of some overlay ads in Flash video stutters
• The Boxee Box doesn’t recognize two USB drives with the same drive label
• When Boxee resumes from ’sleep’ mode all artwork is gone from library view
• iPhone remote does not refresh the available host names
• Display file name with Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters
• and many more…

Déjà vu

I could have sworn I read a thread with this before.

Same here, got excited for no reason thinking it may be imminent.

Thanks for making a new thread.

This'll be an interesting update to say the least, many nice fixes in there. Can someone explain what "Triage" is in Jira, though? Many different versions in there with several fixes listed for each.

Lets hope it fixes our issues, as it will be a loooong wait until the next one.

Most of my issues are with apps though so not much an update can bring me.

You forgot the most anoying bug that the BB can´t play AC3 Audio, used on every older DVD Production, over optical S.ony.P.anasonic D.igital I.interface. No matter which Container used or how many Channels. Also funny that this Bug most happened on Sony Receiver´s.

Ok. JIRA says it´s fixed. let´s wait and see. Also let´s hope that this thread will not be also "accidently" deleted as you mentioning in the closed thread.






Jira says its fixed.

AC3 plays back on my system - and a lot of other people's systems. Sure, there might be a bug using your particular receiver, but don't make it out to seem like AC3 doesn't work for anyone.

My BBox is normally connected to an Outlaw 990 Pre-Processor.

triage is a medical term...

i'm guessing that as the catagory says unscheduled update that this is a selection of fixes and bugs that are non critical but can be assimilated into the next (or another) release.

Non critical but more critical than "unscheduled".

That would be my guess

After the last little kerfuffle in the last release, we got RC's before it was pushed to the general public...
