Genres in the Movies list isn't new.

It's Genres under "My Movies".

There is an option to remove podcasts from your favorites that aren't available.
Before, it would just tell you that the podcast was unavailable but it would stay in your favorites

I have been having a problem with the thumbnails onHD podcasts. It would freeze for about 4-5 secs and sometimes crashed
Seems to be working fine now. May not be part of the 2.0.1 as much as an issue with my appletv. But either way it's fixed.

EDIT: I meant 4-5 minutes
not seconds

I haven't been able to test it much, but that bug does seem to have been fixed.

plus and minus buttons on remote now give progress bar.
Hooray.

Is it just me, or does it seem that the Genres under 'My Movies' navigates a bit sluggish.

I also noticed a trashcan next to a podcast that had been downloaded to the Apple TV. Was that trashcan/delete feature always there?
EBone said 1:08AM on 3-29-2008
Ben - the option to delete was there from 2.0, it was just a blue dot, and not very intuitive that it meant delete.
Bloobie said 1:40AM on 3-29-2008
ebone: since 2.0, it's always been a blue dot with a trash can inside. How more intuitive do you want it to be?

Absolutely...it's hair-tearingly slow to select genres on my Apple TV! The rest of the interface seems pretty spritely though, just the genres. Most of mine are 'unknown' too....need to sort that out next I guess!

Just installed 2.0.1 and as soon as I navigated into the Movies section iTunes crashed on my Mac mini.

I would like to be able to lock individual films using parental control - this doesn't seem possible.

The original poster of the article acts as though Take 2 is as fast and zippy as 1.x was? Have any of you owned a 1.x box before going to take 2? Don't you notice a major difference in the speed of the device? The Apple forums are loaded with posts about Take 2 significantly causing interface glitches and generally being slow. I take it that 2.01 didn't do much to remedy this issue?

Seems slow as usual. One problem I hope they've fixed is leaving the Apple TV and not using it for more than a few days - I come back to a frozen Apple Logo in the middle of the screen that won't go away.

So there are more of you among us. I've had to physically unplug the apple tv twice and I've had it for 2 weeks. I hope this update keeps it more stable. Also, playing songs ota (wi-fi) from iTunes/Air using Apple TV's as speakers I get a message saying "Apple TV is being used by another person" usually after first trying to play coming from sleep mode.
Brandon Stenger said 8:00AM on 3-29-2008
Looks like the Apple TV now respects the Skip When Shuffling option. That's been one of my major complaints as I listen to a lot of music with it. I hit shuffle and FF'ed through about 200 songs, none of the many I have marked for skip came up. That's not a definitive test of course, but it gives me hope.

I'd like to see a soft reboot option in the settings menu. Pulling the power cord can't be good.

Hold down "Menu" and "-"
Sometimes reading the manual helps with these things.
