Is this version of the app available on the Samsung app store, or is it installed via USB? Thanks.

I sure hope not   This version introduced a huge bug in the spotlight for some models where it doesn't display the backdrop after the first movie.  It may be just in older models though.

I doubt it's even been submitted yet, but when it is then Samsung usually takes at least a couple of weeks to test before they upload it to the store.
