Site notes.
 
- Fixed the file system error after transfer files to J3 by Mac OS or Linux.
- Fixed the error while playing mp3 files with some abnormal ID3 TAG.
- Fixed the display error in certain situation in Video browser.

Nope, I probably didnt need to upgrade, but some people like to stay on top of updates.

Does this mean I can use my J3 with mac os without bricking it now? That'd be a HUGE update!​

I did the upgrade, now my J3 is too slow.

 
Have you guys already done a downgrade?

 

[andrewberge]

Nope, and i don't plan to.
 
For those that haven't noticed:
When changing tags of files that are on the J3, it's tag database doesn't reflect the changes.
With this update, there is a new folder in the 'System' folder, 'FileDB'. Deleting this folder will force a tag rescan on next startup, and the changes are made.
Note that all bookmarks and favorites are lost when doing this.

Ok, it's true.
But my J3 is now slow skipping tracks, accessing menus.. not only when I start it up (in fact I don't even mind about the boot time).

 

[andrewberge]

That's weird, though i've read a number of people complaining about that already.
My J3 hasn't slowed at all. Tracks are skipped instantly, menus take a second to load, the only thing that's slow is that it takes longer to shut down, which obviously is not a problem at all.
 
Slow skipping would be enough for me to downgrade, though. In fact, it was a huge factor of my dumping my HDD based iPod for a flash based player.

Yep, that was what I did. Just finished the downgrade to 2.26.
Now everything is ok, faster than before
