Kinoma Play for Windows Mobile
As reported by fellow writer Jay Gross, Kinoma has announced it will update your Kinoma Play for Windows Mobile over the air!
You can update immediately by opening Kinoma Play's Main screen. Show the menu pod and select Player > Check for Updates. Naturally, the update process depends on your having a data connection through your carrier.
The new and welcome changes include improvements to the program's Scanner function. It's been scanning on startup, uninterruptibly. The updated version lets you configure whether you want that to happen. You'll appreciate this change if you normally use the program to play online media and don't need it to check your memory cards for media files.
The update includes:
- Choose Automatic or Manual scanning in Settings > Library.
- Scanning can be canceled (other than the first time a new source like a storage card is detected).
- A Scan command appears if Kinoma Play detects that My Media Files may not be up-to-date
- Kinoma Play responds more quickly to the appearance and disappearance of Bluetooth audio devices, like headphones.
Thanks for the info, Jay!
You can get Kinoma Play for Windows Mobile here for $29.99!
