Giant Baby Steps



Beta testers are brave souls! We can't thank you guys enough, especially those who have been willing to install, test, uninstall, reboot, install, test, uninstall, reboot... you know the Windows drill. Things are looking pretty good, and we should be pushing yet another release within 24 hours, with some more bug fixes. At the same time, our coders are cranking away on Netflix (we can't tell you how excited we are to get this out).

But, being this is a beta, and in its infant stages, there are still plenty of known (and unknown) issues, so we remind you to be patient.

A few of you have written in saying that you've had luck using PlayOn with other devices besides the PS3, Xbox 360, and HP MediaSmart. Cool! We're happy to hear that, and appreciate hearing about any glitches, as well as successes. (Incidentally, the next release should remedy the HP MediaSmart issue where titles weren't showing up.)

We're still tweaking the new website too. Make sure to check out the new <a href="http://www.themediamall.com/support">support page</a>, which has a few tips for best wrangling technical problems, as well as our new FAQ.

It's also comforting to know that our trials are appreciated. Thanks again Richard Lawler, at Engadget, for your <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/08/21/playon-media-server-update-smashes-... target="_blank">encouraging cheers</a> from the sidelines.
