Ouch. Over the weekend, Boxee CEO Avner Ronen tweeted that a new firmware was imminent for the
Boxee Box, and given that we'd all been
led to believe that both Netflix and Vudu support were inbound shortly, the natural expectation was... well,
natural. Late last night the company went live with a new build, but it was pulled from existence within a few hours. According to Boxee's blog post, the new update adds enhancements to control de-interlacing and video filters configuration, support for language selection in subtitle / audio, boosted browser performance and about 812 bug fixes. That's the good news. The bad news is
two threefold: there's nary a mention of Netflix support, and while the team is
just about there with Vudu, it's also remaining off of the list for this particular update. Moreover, the devs noticed such major issues that the software was yanked from the servers only hours after it was posted, and judging by official comments in the source link below, things still aren't totally ironed out. Translation? Hold tight for now, tough as it may be.
