Couch Tv 1.5 was submitted before the Christmas holiday and was reviewed and approved today. This is primarily a bug fix update with new features hopefully being completed soon.

Changes include:

• Enable HLS streaming videos.
• Increased SSDP discovery timeout to 6 seconds (it was at 3 seconds and I suspect some customer’s devices weren’t responding in that time span).
• The play button on the remote can also now start video playback.
• Video progress bar is now displayed accurately if the video was stopped before it was completed.

There are some new features I have been working on, but nothing concrete to announce to the world just yet :). This update also filters out non media server SSDP responses such as UPnP audio receivers.
