Hurray. Great work guys. Sounds when I navigate, nice touch.

Is it possible to use the Eden Confluence skin?

Thanks.

Just a quick heads up for people with a harmony remote that have programmed the power off sequence. You will have to update the sequence to the new power off menu layout.

Regards.

Not quite, still no HD audio bitstreaming but XBMC/AE supports it - must be a Mali/AML HDMI driver output fix.

Updated without a hitch whatsoever. Loving the updated version of Confluence too ... nicely done chaps!

I get the navigation sounds when I first load it but they seem to get lost as soon as I play a video.

The context menu is working again and .rar support is nice w/o having to build my own image and my res didn't go all crazy when I upgraded.

Are vobsubs (idx/sub) being broken a known issue or am I doing something wrong. I was trying .srt based subs earlier and noticed that my display config had them positioned off the screen, moving that fixed those.

But with vobsubs nothing displays, I enable subs, browse to them, pick the file (tried both idx and sub, even unpacked from .rar file) hit ok and then it takes me back out of the menu and the enable subtitles is clicked off again. It's not a terribly big deal but just wondering if I'm doing something wrong (they work on my ATV2 running xbmc)

All in all, still loving the product.

I haven't run the update yet. When the update is applied, do the NFS shares have to be reconfigured and library have to be re-done?

I'm having some issues with the IR remote (works very very intermittently) and I'm thinking that clearing all the settings and libraries will help to get a fresh start.
