Fixes and improvements

• YouTube made some unexpected changes that prevented Kinoma Player from playing the Flash Video versions of YouTube videos. This release understands these changes, restoring full YouTube support.

• Recently, Google began to include other types of content in their RSS feeds. This release understands these changes, eliminating most “cannot be played” alerts.

• Flickr made changes to their feeds, and this release provides improved compatibility with those changes.

• On rare occasions, Kinoma Player’s cache can become corrupted and cause problems. This release includes a new Clear History and Cache menu item that allows customers to fix cache problems without having to search for and delete the cache file. This command also doubles as a privacy feature, allowing customers to delete their browsing and playback history.

• On Palm T|X devices, the screen would turn on when transitioning between songs. This release fixes that.

• On Palm T|X and Palm LifeDrive devices, selecting certain Google Video search results could cause a crash. This release fixes that.
