Cable Forum - View Single Post - General New BBC Red Button Bridge Interface

I'd been trying every day until Saturday to see if the BBC Sounds stall/crash bug had been fixed. I didn't try Sunday since there aren't likely to be "new builds" then.

Didn't work yesterday morning, but checked just now and my V6 has a Monday afternoon build of the App and *drumroll* IT WORKS!

I've literally just found this working, so hopefully there aren't any further bugs.

I am under the impression the previous problems were a memory leak triggered if you launched BBC Sounds via the New Red Button Bridge. Because if you launched the app via the Apps & Games menu, the App worked apparently fine. Though it didn't if you launched it that way after having tried via the New Bridge.

It just occurred to me I should check if the Restart function is working, it was doing BBC Scotland channel rather than BBC1 Scotland. I'll be back momentarily...

Well that's disappointing.

So, current New BBC Red Button Bridge status for me.
- BBC Sounds TV app now launches and works from New Bridge
- Restart still Live Restarts BBC Scotland channel rather than BBC1 Scotland

Note: The above is on V6 box and in Scotland. The New Bridge Interface may perform the Restart function correctly in other regions of the UK and/or on a TV360 box.
