In all fairness, it is a pretty confusing time to use this software, especially if you aren't glued to reading every post about the current state of the software--or using the the software on a daily basis. When I last opened AnyStream, the first thing that happened was a suggestion to download the new program version. Normally, I click on this on the assumption that new software is better than old software. I do not open the description of the software change before I do this. Maybe I should, but it is not that odd to not do this if you are prompted with notice of new update. Here, for some reason, I actually only downloaded the software and went to the forum before installing it. So, I temporarily held off on going from 1.28 to 1.29.
Two weeks ago or so, I got an error trying to download a new Netflix movie using 1.28. Today, it downloaded in 1080P without error and no change in the software. That almost seems like that wasn't supposed to happen? From what I read, this would not have been possible with an update to 1.29. But, with Amazon, there was an error in downloading a show and I was told I should update to 1.29. But, if I went to 1.29, it appears I would then lose downloading HD in Netflix? So, that leaves the beta releases, and now there are two of them. Normally, I don't use beta releases because I figure, if they were best to use, they would not be betas. But in this case, it would appear I might be able to go to 1.29.2 and get Prime to halfway to work, but not lose HD in Netflix?
Is there something that works in 1.28 but does not work in 1.29.2? Is there something that works partially in 1.29 but doesn't work in in 1.29.2? Is there any reason to have 1.29 over 1.29.2? Does 1.28 do anything that can't be done by 1.29.2? If 1.29.2 is better than 1.29 without any drawbacks, should it be a beta? Or are there some problems with 1.29.2 not experienced with 1.28 or 1.29?
