Firmware update: Xtreamer 2.3.1

Xtreamer has released a new firmware for its media player of the same name. The Xtreamer is intended for playing and streaming media files from the optional built-in hard drive, a device on the internal network – wired or wireless – or from the Internet. There is a topic on our own GoT where more information about this budget media player can be found. New in version 2.3 is the ability to play files directly from the WebUI on the TV and to play playlists from the Web Remote Control. Shortly after the release of version 2.3, 2.3.1 has also reappeared and it solves two problems:
