So how do I update? Do I need to google for those instructions, pour over the forums, just know how to do it? (alpha good, please make it easier to know what to do . . .) click on an update button?

why don't you include the version number for reference when announcing a new version like this? Is this version boxee-0.9.6.4578 ?

This is so cool! It makes me so happy every time you guys are updating. That means one more less bug to worry about. Keep up the good work guys.
As for the black-screen-syndrom on the AppleTV, I think its so nice you are working on that problem. We are a lot of AppleTV who will appriciate that bug being fixed!

Disappointing to see that the secondary screen bug was not fixed in this release, hoping for a fix soon.

We are supposed to be alpha testing. Why do you not push an update on each commit?

I saw the same thing. But avner pointed out in the comment "nope, also for Mac, Ubuntu and Apple TV" So I think the title said Windows but the Windows version is not out yet. I am just waiting for Netflix on the Windows version. May make me reformat my Ubuntu machine until that is supported.

Is there and update for us first Windows alpha testers, if not when will there be. If there is a new version today, how do I get it. When I login to the windows alpha beta download I still am only able to download version 0.9.5.4495. Above it states "we have released a minor bug fixing version (available for Mac, Ubuntu, Apple TV & Windows)." It says Windows but I am not seeing a new version to download. Confusing.

Or just put the date into the release number or something. I often look at the update screen to see if the file name is more "meaningful" only to realize that I have to get on my computer and check to see if the release I am using is the current one.

Thank you for changing the function of the Menu button to Back on ATV instead of sending to the Home screen. Much needed improvement!

Well, making the secondary screen primary is no option. That has always been the solution, and it is not a good one. Basically, the Boxee-team has not fixed one of the major bugs they said they would fix...

good point. we need to make it clearer. also auto-update will be nice.. :)

You could really do with stating version numbers more often, as it's all very confusing.

The download page never states which version you're downloading, and this blog post mentions neither the current or previous numbers, so you never know if you need to update or not.

On the mac, this new version is 0.9.6-4578 and the previous version was 0.9.5-4497.

it works.
you need to make the big screen your primary screen (display preferences - drag the top bar over to the big screen).

the downside is that you will not have a dock on the other screen (the one not running boxee).

this is a workaround. a better solution will be included in the (near) future.

Not in full-screen, and that is kind of the whole point...

Good stuff. Well done.

Is there a full changelog anywhere?

avner ronen — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 10:31:00 -0000

nope, also for Mac, Ubuntu and Apple TV

Is this for all releases or *just* the Apple TV?

2ndary screen works if you move the main screen to your other display.

Re: boxee blog » fixing bugs

Svein — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:51:15 -0000

Not to be negative og anything, but this was kinda useless, seeing that 2ndary screen doesn't work... Well, no alpha-testing for me until january...

Woo hoo! Got my Apple Tv less than a week ago, installed Boxee almost instantly - and it's already getting better.

So excited to see what the future has in stored for Boxee!

Thanks guys! YOU ROCK!

Sweet! Last night I updated the Launcher and that fixed one of the annoying bugs (black-screen). Today I can update boxee and fix the other annoying bug (video calibration settings).

Keep up the great work!
