I have received some very good reports from the beta testers so far. I will be sending out another beta build soon with the following three issues addressed:

Bug: The link navigation highlighter does not display on some websites.


I received reports about this from two of the beta testers. It turns out that sites that use an XHTML DTD would not display the link highlighter correctly. I have resolved this isssue.

Annoyance: The Shared ViewPort displays on top of the web pages I am looking at.


I think it’s good practice to display the Shared ViewPort on the lower left-hand corner of the screen. This allows you to watch TV or listen to music in that little window while you are in other parts of Media Center. Since several people complained about it blocking part of the web page, I decided to add a button so that you can hide/show that little media window. It works really well, and you can still hear the audio when the SVP is hidden.

Bug: The toolbar is too wide. It goes off the screen on my Media Center Extender.


I actually noticed this one with my extender. I resized the toolbar buttons and squeezed everything in a little bit closer to get it to fit within 1024 horizontal pixels. MCEBrowser works great on the extender!


That’s it so far. I have received other items that I am considering for the next version. Looks like MCEBrowser is still on track for a general public release next week.
