nessViewer 2.8.4 and Hulu

Today a user gave us the info that Hulu (an offer of the MediaCenter, only available in USA) is not working at all.
We fixed the problem now but did not release a new version - so all users in USA should manually download version 2.8.4 from our download page and install this version (if they use Hulu and it is not working).

We are very sorry for this fact - but can not say often enough: as earlier we get hints as sooner we can react.
nessViewer is supporting more than 40 internet providers and it takes hours to check every offer.
So please send a note to <tvchannels@nessviewer.com> if you notice that something is now working properly.

nessViewer 2.8.4 available (GPS support)

On user request GPS is now supported for pictures: if a picture contains GPS data, then the geo location (country and city) will be shown - both at the picture info and the MediaCenter. At the MediaCenter further EXIF data like the description will be shown also.

Thru a computer magazine we got the hint that Flash plugins store several informations like visited pages at the user preference folder. To increase data security and anonymity, "Remove Flash plugin informations on quitting" was added to the nessViewer preferences (s. media preferences).

In the past the installation of the QuickTime extension "DivX" was recommended - meanwhile the free DivX extension does not allow to edit DivX movies. Because Perian also supports DivX movies including the editing, we suggest to uninstall the DivX extension.
For uninstallation the application "Uninstall DivX for Mac" is available which commenly can be found at the application folder. After the uninstallation the Mac should be restarted and then checked if no DivX files can be found at "/Library/QuickTime" anymore.

FreeMoviesCinema has changed its domain (freemoviescine.com instead of freemoviescinema.com) - the integrated browser and the MediaCenter was adapted therefor.
