We’re looking for a handful of advanced users who are interested in testing a pre-beta version of the new Media Player app that is set to be released in Beta6.
This new version of Media Player is brand new, and has been built from the ground-up. There has been rigorous testing on our end over the past few weeks, but due to the number of core changes we’d like to have some outside feedback before the new version is made public.
Advanced testers must:
Have aTV Flash (black) currently installed
Be experienced with SSH
Possess a collection of mixed media that is available for testing (AVI, MKV, MP4, VOB, etc...)
Be willing to provide detailed feedback on features and performance
If this sounds like you, shoot me a PM and I’ll put you on the pre-beta list.
We’re expecting the pre-beta version to be ready later this week.
If this would let me play media on my remote server 100 miles away via atvflash. Then yes I will do this. Have had no success with xbmc yet, so would love to try new media player for long distance media.
If Netflix can do it. And amazon video on demand can also. And I have great upload speed. There should be no bottleneck. Not looking for 1080p as that requires too much upload speed. Would by happy with 480p of my *.m4v (aka mp4) files.
Definately want to trial the beta if all it takes is the transfer of a deb file and installation of it. Relatively easy if you have used these tools already.
