Hi folks,

YouTube recently updated their Leanback application and the method Amulet uses to launch YouTube with a specific search string no longer works.

This means that a command like "Search YouTube for <x>" no longer produces the expected search result if YouTube isn't already running when you issue the command. If YouTube is running at the time, everything works fine -- the search string is typed in and processed as normal.

We'll have a fix for this in the next beta, due out shortly, but in the meantime, the best workaround is to launch YouTube with the command "Go To YouTube" before doing any YouTube searches.

On a separate note, apologies for the lack of feedback to all the postings over the past few days -- St Patrick's day falling on a Thursday this week disrupted our office schedule here in Ireland. I'll be catching up over the next day or so.

In the meantime, thank you for the detailed reports many of you have been posting (both on features that work and things that don't work) - this is exactly the sort of input we were looking for with this beta program.

Eddy
