Download Firmware Xtreamer 2.1

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 2.1 includes the ability to add favorite content directly to the Home menu and the Xtreamer now automatically scans for shared network folders. Furthermore, improvements have been made to the photo and movie preview and the necessary bugs have been fixed. The first reactions indicate that in addition to the necessary improvements, some new problems have also been introduced. Perhaps it is better to wait for version 2.1.1. In any case, the changelog for version 2.1 looks like this:
