aTV Flash Gets Custom View Options, Web Page Auto-Load, More Improvements

aTV Flash (black), a popular suite of improvements for your jailbroken Apple TV, has been updated with custom view options, web page auto-load, playback improvements, and more.

New View Options
For the most part we found people love the grid view, but for some media types a list view may be more desirable. Now it's possible to have the best of both worlds!

Once the default view type has been set through the Media --> Settings menu, a different view can be set for a specific folder or group of folders. To access this option simply highlight the folder you wish to adjust, hold the center button (to open the popup menu) and choose the desired view type. The chosen view will be used when viewing the contents of that folder, as well as any subfolders contained inside.


We've also added a sort by date view option. This option can be found in the Media --> Settings menu, and when enabled will cause the most recent media to appear at the top.




Improved Couch Surfer with Auto-Start
Couch Surfer has gotten a number of improvements, not the least of which is a brand new auto-start feature. This feature enables the AppleTV to automatically load a 'homepage' anytime it's powered on. Support for automatically reloading the specified page is also included. This allows the AppleTV to be used as a low-cost digital signage solution.
