I've received your reports but have no idea what happens. It could be some incompatibility with these new ARM units. Fortunately, I am receiving my GS7 very soon and will see what I can do.
I even tested this grid code on a chineese Android TV box and it worked...

The new behaviour is to looong press the back button to exit.
I am now thinking about how to inform users about this properly.

Hmm. CH+/- are not used now. I'll think about this. Remember you can also use A (letter) key to switch tracks.
To play all files in a directory: long click on a file, you will see a menu. Also, you can select the first file in a directory and press Play |> key. This action creates a playlist, so you can use >>| and |<< keys to navigate.
Ok may be not CH +/- , they may be need in future use. However letter A is not exist in Harmony app.

Here is a list if keys I can program and they least likely use in other apps :
-.0123456789
Keys with FN button marked yellow: on top of 5 6 7 8 - A B C D, on top of ★ - REC button
Thanks for information about play list of files. I enjoy your player even more now
Is it possible to memorise chosen audio track when play bunch of similar files?
For example I have all seasons of Futurama with RU and ENG tracks. RU starts as default but I want to watch all of them in ENG now. I need to switch track every time new one starts which is quiet uncomfortable especially when RU track much louder...
Thanks

"Similarity" is a very abstract thing. Have no idea how to implement this.

Bad news. Looks like the new grid layout does not work at all on Sony GS7.
I can not fix it until I receive the box (1-2 weeks). Sorry.

Hmm... I remember that Revue played files with DTS, but without sound (I mean it didn't show error)..
GTVBox does not do any sound processing (it is just not possible). It just plays what your device can decode. 1st gen Son Blu-ray box needs DTS licence to play BD and DVD. So, it is also supported by GTV OS as a bonus.
1) Hope you get the shipment soon. Yes, the grid layout does not work at all in NSZ-GS7
2) Can you make the NSZ-GS7 play DTS files without sound like the revue (since NSZ-GS7 does not support DTS?). Currently it gives an error and does not play the file. This might be useful if there are 2 soundtracks and 2nd one is non DTS.
3) In the above case if NSZ-GS7 plays files with DTS without sound, is it possible to sent the DTS signal as it is in the HDMI output so my receiver can play the DTS soundtrack?

Many interesting things should come to 2nd gen units with the release of those new media APIs presented during IO.
Currently, I have no 2nd gen device. So, I can not say whether I can do some non-trivial things or not.

HI,
I have a Dlink DNS 320 with a Logitech Revue. In GTVbox I cannot get any type of network share working. Upnp to Webdav or NFS. UpNp server is detected but just gets stuck in a continuous loop trying to connect, same with NFS shares. Webdav always gives me a browsing error that says " see other". I'd really appreciate any help on this.
My DNS is running Debian Squeeze with funplug.
My shares:
NFS
Host: 10.0.0.108 (revue IP)
NFS://mnt/HD/HD_a2/squeeze/home/mike/Downloads
WebDav
dav://Volume_1/squeeze/home/mike/Downloads
UN: mike
PW: ********
SMB is basically the same as NFS and doesnt work either. I'm really stuck and my head hurts from all the banging on the wall, Please Help!
Thank You

So, you mean that both SMB and NFS just stuck? SMB should usually give a error when trying to connect (same is WebDAV). Can you see any error?
