Roku recently rolled out new firmware — version 2.9 b1509 — for all models of its popular Roku player. The updated software introduces a handful of changes, including:
- 1080p support for XR units
- Hulu app optimizations for quicker trick play navigation and start of playback
- Improved Hulu playback performance on networks with higher latency
The update also addresses a handful of bugs and quirks. For example, Roku says installing the software fixes “a subtle audio playback issue in UFC streaming,” and it also squashes a bug that could result in a crash if an app tried to load an image greater than 1280×720.
