New Beta 3 Firmware 1.5.1.23734 (29th Feb)

[1ne2woBe]

Regarding the IDing of TV shows, I identified one episode from a TV show season and then clicked the option to apply to the rest of the files in the folder to ID the rest of the season, when I went to my shows, what I got was all the episodes under that episode I identified...so having 23 files in one episode ID tag...
Has anyone noted similar behaviour??

Yes! I too had this problem with two of my TV series! What I did was in order to have each season listed, and then each episode listed was:
1. Make sure to have the files properly titled. IE: Aqua Teen Hunger Force - S01E01 - Rabbot.avi
2. Have a folder for each season, and all episodes within that folder (May not need to be. But it worked for me).

Now, after making sure all files are neat and pretty, go to boxee and go to: Menu > files > source/directory (where files are located) > select file folder > select season > select first episode > go to left and select 'identify' > select 'search' > select the proper TV series > confirm that the season & episode are correct (01 & 01), and then CHECK MARK "Try to apply season details to all files in folder". Then select 'done'.

Boxee will then go from file to file within that folder, and get info for each episode. Once done, do the same thing for the next season folder, and then the next season, and so on, and so on.

I hope this is what you were needing. I had gone through this myself 2 days ago, and this is how I was able to fix all my '1969' TV shows listing just one poster, and a TON of files rather than broken down.

Good luck bud!

As reading in the other post on this forum about MLB.tv, it does appear that the 1.5 firmware breaks the option to choose alternate audio streams (i.e. 'Park' sounds, Radio streams) in MLB.tv that was present in v1.2.

It appears that the problem lies with moving the alternate audio streams to the "CC" icon in 1.5. When running MLB.tv in 1.5 you get no 'CC' icon. When you select the 'gear' icon and look at the audio there are no options for alternate streams.

Not entirely sure if this means the MLB.tv app has to be updated, or if this requires a firmware fix. However, spring training games start broadcasting on MLB.tv in two days.

Maybe the MLB app was not tested with 1.5 because of the off-season?

Hello!



You can hold the power button on your BB 3 to 5 seconds and it will shutdown the BB. That is what I was doing when I had this bug. To be honnest, it's possible that I still have this bug, because usually, it's when I was using my BB for a long time. I'm planning a long session on my BB tonight, so I'll see if I'm Ok.

Ciao!

I have also encountered this problem a couple of times, less and less for every new beta tho. Haven't tried this beta yet but i will tonight.
For me it's enough if i just press the power button once without holding it. It will then turn off in 5 -10sec.

I dont disconnect the router, so this aint my issue, for me it seams very random when it chooses not to shutdown to be honest.

For me, this seems to happen when the box loses a connection to a file source. It doesn't have to be that a router is disconnected, it can be caused by rebooting the file source, for example. Anything that causes the box to lose the connection. After that happens, you cannot shut down the box using the remote.
I can replicate this 100% of the time.

New BUG? Or Youtube created new restrictions on our devices?
Sorry for my bad English.

I installed this beta and tried to shutdown the Boxee with the power button. All it did was pop up a message on the home screen saying the box was now no longer connected to the net. I then clicked Shutdown from the Homescreen, and the screen went black but the boxee light remained orange.

It still didn't shut down, so I had to hold down the power button.

Can someone please check if custom zoom is back and if it's working, or it's broken still?

Good Day,

I think I have a bug.

The clock on the "main" screen of my boxee box goes in the future... I started to watch things on my BB around 21H00 and the clock on the BB was @ 21H00, like my PVR clock. An hour and half later, the clock on the BB was around 25 minutes in advance (my PVR was @ 22H30 and my BB @ 22H55). I have check my settings: country, time zone and everything was Ok.

I do not know if it's related, but the subtitles downloaded from opensubtitles.org (from this session) were not in synch, even if the SYNCH icon was on the english subtitles selection. Strangely, the subtitles already on the BB seems to be ok.

Ciao!

The option is not even present on this firmware.
