As you are all probably aware, we are huge fans of the Xtreamer Media Streamer. One of our readers, Pete Campbell reminded me earlier that the latest version of the firmware came out at the end of last year, version 2.1.3.
The last time I did a post about the firmware updates was back in September 2009 and since then there has actually been 6 additional firmware releases and now this new one – I really need to pay more attention.
What’s new in this firmware
Improvements
1. NFS shares mounted via WEB GUI will be displayed in “Media Library->Network Shares”
– It has been moved from “Favorites” to “Network Shares”
– You can add a NSF mounted directory to “Favorites” by pressing “FUNC->Add to Favorites”
2. Photo preview EXIF info font size increased.
Bugs Fixed:
1. Xtreamer crashes or reboots during video playback or when starting a next file. Fixed.
2. Thumbnail display bug. Fixed.
3. “Forbidden” symbol removed during reconnecting to network.
4. “DELETE(3)” button blocked in “Favorites” menu.
To download the latest firmware, or an older one if you really wanted to, just click here.
If you want to see how easy it is to update the firmware, take a look at the video I did back in September for the last firmware I updated by clicking here.

Hello,
This version breaks the UPnP option with TwonkyMedia Server.
I had to do an emergency downgrade to 2.0.1.
(Sorry for the last comment, you can delete it).

Hi Sebastien
I havent tried it with TwonkyMedia Server so I dont know, but thanks for the info.
Have Xtreamer made any sort of comment given the firmware has been out since December?

The 2.1.3 is less stable than the 2.0.2!
The XT also works slower.
