Getting closer!

This was Posted by dkarlton on Thu, 10/16/2008 - 10:18.

We just pushed a new release -- version 2.58.3211. It offers a lot of good fixes and feature enhancements. For those who aren't getting the auto-update system tray notification, you can download the latest from our site or sign up at getplayon.com.

We're really excited about this release, as it puts us a lot closer to our first release candidate. There are still a few odd issues here and there, but this release should be pretty stable for the vast majority of folks. We've made good improvements to our Netflix support. And the latest PLAYSTATION 3 firmware upgrade (2.50) works just fine with the latest PlayOn.

Since we're getting closer to a final release (or at least getting closer to an official release candidate -- no specific date is set yet), we've also reset the trial period to 21 days. Depending on when you first installed an earlier version of PlayOn, this will either increase or decrease the number of free days you have left to try out the software. Keep in mind that if there are additional bugs or problems in this (or future) releases of PlayOn, and people need more time to evaluate our software, we can easily reset the trial period again on a subsequent release.

Older versions of PlayOn will not fix the Hulu issue.

It is hard to say which

It is hard to say which caused it since I literally upgraded both at the same time. I saw that Sony released a firmware update but I didn't want to get it if there was a chance that it would break PlayOn so I watched this blog until I saw your post that you released an update to PlayOn that works well with the new firmware. Only then did I upgrade but I did both at the same time and didn't test each one first. If you can point me to where I can download the previous build of PlayOn, then I will be more than happy to uninstall my current build and test it with the older one. Since Sony doesn't let you backtrack firmwares (right?) that is probably the most I can do at this point. Sorry I can't be more helpful...

Thanks narles. We'll take a look! Did this break for you when you upgraded the PS3 firmware, or when you upgraded PlayOn?

The go to menu that I am

The go to menu that I am referring to is the one that you get when you start watching a video and then press "Triangle" on the controller and then move over to the little arrow in the menu that says "go to." It basically brings up the timecode of the video and then allows you to choose a timecode you want to go to in the video you are watching. This used to work in previous versions of PlayOn but now the video just freezes and you have to quit the video. It was a pretty nifty feature that I kind of wish we could have back.

narles — can you be more

narles — can you be more specific about the “go to” menu?

I noticed that you stopped

I noticed that you stopped the PS3's ability to save the video stream to the hard drive. That is an understandable thing to do for very obvious reasons. In doing this, however, was the ability to skip to specific parts of the video also removed? In the previous version I was able to watch a video for a little bit, pause it, take note of the timecode of where I was, quit watching the movie, then come back and enter the timecode in the "go to" menu for the video and it would skip to the part I left on. This feature no longer works and the video freezes now and I have to start it over. Great job with the software! I am definitely going to buy it when it gets out of beta.
