Google announced Android TV at their annual Google I/O conference last year and we immediately saw it as a huge opportunity not only for Media Browser but also for the industry as a whole.
The smart TV market is thriving but the use of the actual smart features are greatly limited because each manufacturer, for the most part, chose to implement their own environment which makes it very difficult for app developers to support them all. This, in turn, makes it hard for users to find the apps t

Whilst this new release doesn't have a list as long as your arm with changes, the major change it does have should impact anyone who streams videos using the app. This release has moved to a better streaming method with the server app, which means the stream is better, and the server is more performant.
Also included in this release is the ability to remove old local servers from the list of servers (if you've rebuilt your machine for example).
Finally, the app is now enabled for Portugu

Before the new version is rolled out, we thought about doing a sale, and then we thought why not go free for short while to help create excitement and bring more new people to Media Browser. It is free in both the Play Store and Amazon App Store:

Work has been progressing furiously to provide a living room client to Android users. We're aiming for a January release of an update to the current client that will be geared towards 10' use. I'd originally hoped it would be under peoples trees for Christmas.

As many of you know we are working hard to localize Media Browser so that it can be displayed in your native language.
Many have volunteered to help translate and we thank you for that. If you'd like to see Media Browser in your language, please drop us a line and we'll set you up to help translate.
Good news,
a new version of the Win8.1 app has been released today.
This is mostly a bugfix/maintenance version, but we managed to squeeze some goodies in there as well.
