Hi All Mede8ers
We have decided to release V1.0.1 as a Public Beta prior to the final release as we would like it tested with a wider user base and secondly we invite users to check any Language Translation bugs that might exist. We feel that this is a very good and stable release candidate with some nice new functionality. We would hope to have the final release complete within a week.

Reported Bugs* "i can't set the BT transmission into "on". everytime it returns to "off"" -- Transmission BT downloader requires an internal HDD that is formatted in the X2

Confirmed Bugs* Open a Password protected Favourite link and press “Enter” or “Return” and X2 crashes
* Place multiple video files and matching subtitles into one folder. The X2 will always play the first subtitle only* Cannot play AVI files via NFS - SDK issue

* "is it possible to return to the Favourit Manager on exit" Not possible due to SDK limitation - Use the "Blue" Favourite shortcut button
* "I was wondering if its possible to use sabnzb+ on this new firmware" -- Not possible at this point
* "Can you make it again like The Videowall....first shortcut comes on the first place" -- This is very personal and everybody wants it their way. We currently arrange the Favourites as 'last in display as first' Will re-check this
I would really like to thank Hansen, Maasbommel, Insomniac, Dennis and jer1956 for their invaluable work on this release.
