    The beta releases are kept in 'sticky' threads at the top of this forum only for so long as no newer release exists. When such a newer firmware is released the thread of the old beta is 'un-stickied' causing it to gradually sink out of sight beneath the hordes of new posts that arrive every day.

    If you dig deep enough in the old forum pages you'll find them, though doing so isn't very useful...

    Old beta release downloads on Boxee's server are also removed when new releases are made, so then the old links to those downloads no longer work, but in most cases forum members have made their own backups of such firmwares first, so if you want one of the old betas for testing that can usually be arranged.

    Is there a new beta (with subtitles issue fixed) already?
    No. The current stable release is the latest we've seen so far.
    (It was originally released as the third v1.5 beta).

    Default CC is always off?

    When I click on CC it takes me to CC but it indicates CC is off and will not let me turn it on. I know searching for CC is not working but CC itself should work if the file comes with CC or you manually download a matching CC file. Correct?

    If the file is exactly the same name, with .srt instead of .avi or whatever you're got, then CCs work automatically. Perhaps the filename is different?

    #!/bin/bash
    # how many days back in time to look for "new" files
    time=5
    # the root of your video library where new shows arrive
    vidroot=/home/videos/WebTV/
    
    #username for opensubtitles
    osuser=changeme
    #and password
    ospass=changeme
    
    find $vidroot -name \*.avi -type f -mtime -$time  | while read file; do  
    sub=${file%%????}".srt";
    if [ -f "$sub" ]; 
     then 
       echo  here; 
     else 
      #change -l eng to be your desired language, english is mine
      subdownloader -c -los --rename-subs -u $osuser -p $ospass -l eng -V "$file"
    fi;
    done
    Toss that puppy in a cron job running at 5am or something, and every day it will check (rechecking 5 days back for old subs) the recently added videos in your library for subtitles. Clearly, you could work on this some more (for example it only looks for avi files), but it would get the job done if you, say, automatically downloaded television shows using vuze.
    Just wanted to self-report that I've been running this puppy since I posted and it's working just fine for me. Kinda nice if your media store is a linux box... automagic subtitles.
