Yeah as of 45 mins ago.

Anyways, no network play makes this pretty damn useless.

The best thing I've found to play videos on Revue with Honeycomb is ES File Explorer. It works with local files and from a Windows samba share over a local network. It can play native Honeycomb supported formats (so no DTS); I tested both avi and mkv (h.264/ac3). Note: for mkv, you have to long press the file, select "Open as", and then "Video".

I found that mVideoPlayer was inadequate as it wouldn't display video full screen.

Seems to work better than anything else I've tried.
TIP: Go into settings and make sure to display tabs - makes it much easier to browse your local network...

I am having trouble getting Sirius Satellite Radio to play through the Chrome Browser on my GTV, it streams perfect on any other device within my home network, but on the GTV the audio keeps breaking up.
Is there any thing in the settings for Chrome that i may have overlooked,or am i just out of luck...
